Please, allow me to chime in. I can accept that, by design, revolvers can be more reliable. However, they can come with their own unique idiosyncrasies!
Almost 25 years ago, I was shooting in a friendly club bowling pin match. As usual, I was able to clear the table in 5 shots with my Model 27 (fired single action) faster than my opponent using a crew served 9mm with a reload. I was using an everyday 38 Special load. When I went to clear the revolver, the extractor rod separated from the extractor star, the star stayed on the cylinder, never clearing rounds from the chambers.
Because of that experience, I tend to not have 100% confidence in a revolver, and strive to make each round count before I have to do a reload!
According to my gunsmith, the two parts were press fit. They are no longer press fit!
