Are you trying to say that an automatic is more reliable than a revolver?
I would like to see some statistics on that. Most of the law enforcement
agencies that have switched to autos have done so to get higher capacity,
not greater reliability.
A .45 that is clean, properly lubricated, and loaded with ball ammo should
work every time. But more reliable than a good revolver? I don't think so.
