I carry a revolver all the time. My 625 has full strength springs. All the screws are kept tight. My ammo is BETTER than factory loaded because I KNOW the primers have anvils and priming compound, the case has a flash hole and the cartridge has powder in it. Unless something breaks, I KNOW my revolver will fire every single time no matter how poorly it has been gripped, how close to my clothing it is held or how hard it is pressed against an adversary. My ammo is held by a steel clip and not some plastic or sheet metal box with a spring inside. My revolver just plain works, period. Given a choice, an auto is simply a second rate choice.
