I will admit experiences may differ but my experience with 60 year old cops carrying Model 10 was that at least half of the revolvers would come out of the holsters so filthy, rusted and generally gummed up that they wouldn't fire. If the gun happened to be functional the owner/carrier might not be able to meet the minimal speed or accuracy requirements of qualification.
Not everyone carrying a "plastic" gun sprays n prays. There are those who actually aim and control the trigger. Similarly, carrying a revolver doesn't guarantee good shot placement. Way too much "painting with a broad brush" in this thread, at least in my experience.
