Some of us are still waiting for our revolvers to malfunction even one time....every pocketable semi I've tried over the many many years has not given me the warm fuzzy reliability I've had from j frames, just the opposite in fact.. Decades of proven reliability is hard to replace. I can not remember even one revolver malfunction in my hand, in my life. There will be some that say they have had lots of malfunctions surely, but I only can speak to my personal experience..others like to quote their buddy..I don't care about his problems..others might, but not me.
