I like my semi autos, but you don't need to rack the slide on a revolver.
I had never given this much thought until a neighbor asked me to help her learn about her new Glock. She could not rack the slide and get the first round chambered. We worked a way that she would simultaneously push with both hands in opposite directions, but it took her everything she had. She will not admit defeat, but I believe she is unhappy with her choice.
Also, if you reload, you don't lose revolver brass in front of the firing line or in the grass.
