Revolvers are also simple from a user perspective. No safety. No slide to rack. If it doesn't go bang, just pull the trigger again. Ideal for times your mind may be a little slow, like 0400. Capacity and reloading (like in the dark) are the main drawbacks.

Revolvers typically are more accurate, with a better trigger, safer, more reliable, and are best suited for reloading your own ammunition. I can't understand why auto-loaders are popular, outside of competitive target shooting where they make timed and rapid fire events easier. Here's my introduction to pistol shooting story. When I was a kid the only firearm in the house was my father's !911 .45 ACP which he kept in the bedroom dresser drawer. I was about 8 and my brother 11 when he finally gave in to our pestering and agreed to show us how to shoot it. It was loud, it kicked, and none of us could hit a tin can much more than 10 feet away. What a bummer. My uncle, who was also present, let us shoot his S&W K38 target revolver. What a revelation! Since then I have fired many thousands of rounds in handguns, but only under duress do I use auto-loaders. I urge all you handguners to try at least one quality target revolver before your shooting days are over.
