One other thing I failed to bring up, forgive me if I'm repeating someone else's words since I didn't read all the posts, is that a complete beginner can pick up a revolver in an emergency and have a cursory idea of how to use the gun. Point at BG, click, repeat as needed until compliance is elicited.

Yes you will run out of bullets before a semi-auto would, but that would be a moot point for someone not used to a semi.
