The revolver is always ready, always reliable and can always be effectively and responsibly used by anyone, myself included.

For civilian self defense NOT law enforcement or military use/ gun battles the above cannot be intelligently disputed.

With regard to jump crimp in light 9mm revolvers-we have been unable to experience or even cause this phenomena in many many rounds of all makes-brass/steel or aluminum.

Not disputing anyone who says it happens its just that we cannot get it to, and by the way-if you will never need a full cylinder of any caliber what difference does it make anyway.
I agree with most of what you say. My question is how is 9mm (Parabellum I assume) perfect. Around here you can buy 9Para FMJ for cheap. But the quality stuff is about the same as 38 and 357. The bullet doesnt know if it was loaded in a .380, .38 (spl or super), 9mm, or .357 case...
