Jams happen quite often. When have you heard about a revolver jamming? Not never. It's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry, so just carry a snub nose, so you get the best of both worlds.

Nothing is guaranteed and defensive shooters must know how to handle malfunctions.
S&W 327 bullet jumped crimp
K17 endshake caused dragging and was good only for 24 or 30 shots
M27 with internal firing pin. Pin shattered on first shot.
Taurus Judge: 100% cylinder lockup with 410 buckshot--twice in 5 shots.
Ruger GP100 had light strikes with only 50% ignition rate.
