That is, those that are made for the military, law enforcement and agencies are EXTREMELY reliable if I take reasonable care in checking them before I need to shoot them. Good quality factory ammo is almost 100 per cent reliable. If a round doesn't chamber well, you throw it out and don't even load it in the gun. I use a lot of reloads and sometimes get careless with something like a high primer that will keep the cylinder from rotating. But again, with reasonable care that can be almost eliminated. I'd put my 1980s 686 and my 1960s model 36 against ANY semi or revolver on the planet as far as reliability goes.

And saying that revolvers are 'consumer grade' also applies to semi guns. What armies or agencies carry Honor Guards, Hi Points or R51s. All of these guns aren't exactly made to mil specs.
