A REVOLVER DOESN’T DEPEND ON A BOX MAGAZINE. MOST MAGAZINES ARE FLIMSY SHEET METAL AND EASILY DAMAGED.
THE REVOLVER WILL FIRE IF PRESSED HARD AGAINST AN ADVERSARY. MANY AUTOS WILL BE PUSHED OUT OF BATTERY FROM SUCH PRESSURE AND WILL NOT FIRE.
AN AUTO CAN HAVE THE SAFETY ACCIDENTALLY DISENGAGED OR HAVE THE MAGAZINE ACCIDENTALLY RELEASED. THIS MAKES IT MORE LIKELY TO FIRE WHEN YOU DON’T WANT IT TO OR NOT FIRE WHEN YOU WANT IT TO.
A DUD CARTRIDGE IN AN AUTO MEANS YOU HAVE TO EJECT THAT CARTRIDGE AND CHAMBER ANOTHER ROUND. ON A REVOLVER, YOU JUST PULL THE TRIGGER AGAIN.
REVOLVERS HANDLE CARTRIDGES FROM 22 SHORT TO 500 MAGNUM.

Autos are a passing fad.
