In about 60 years of shooting revolvers, my experience has been that if you do your regular preventive maintenance on one you won't have any reliability issues. The only problem I've had lately was with a company-issued S&W Model 686-6 (not my issued 686-6) that started getting a bit hard to open at the range. Everything from the ejector rod back checked out, so I turned my attention to the front latch. A few squirts of solvent, a bit of air drying, a short squirt of lubricant, and it was back in full, easy action. I had a talk with the "trained Glock armorer" about how to maintain revolvers.

Since I'm retiring Friday and there are less than a handful of revolvers in the hands of officers, I don't know that my advice was actually absorbed.
