I think that a quality double action only semi automatic (without external safety) firing ammunition that you have function tested, has more advantages than a revolver. That only applies if you practice with the gun including malfunction drills, and function tested it with your carry ammo.
If you're just going to the store to buy your one and only home defense handgun that you're going to shoot 50 rounds a year through and kid yourself that you're safe, then the double action revolver is your best choice.
