Revolvers vs auto loaders; reliability
Assuming both are good guns. Obviously the revolver is the winner. But what I'd like to know, for my upcoming purchase, is by how much? Like actual statistics?
Plus a few questions.
Is the only way for a revolver to misfire/jam/whatever for the bullet to not go off? Or is there a mechanical way it can jam/misfire? I've only ever shot one revolver in my life, and briefly, most have been auto loaders so I don't have much experience.
For the good (let's just say 9mm) guns out there + good ammo (everything within this discussion is considered good ammo/gun) what's the % misfire rate? 1%? For a revolver? %?
This is also for concealed carry if it matters. So it'd be a snub nose .38 special for instance if I was going revolver.
