This is an interesting thread with good points on both sides. Being older, mid 70’s, when I started shooting and reloading revolvers were definitely more reliable. Today thanks to Mr Glock there is little difference in the two. If maintained both serve equally well.
I think revolvers are easier to trouble shoot and fix should a problem appear, if parts are on hand or available. Thanks to the internet all problems can be figured out. Most weaknesses of different platforms are well known. We are lucky today to have this knowledge available.
Today shooters want different things than a few years ago. Still a revolver is still a great reliable handgun that will shoot factory and reloads, mild to wild, in cartridges weak to powerful, with little fuss. Autoloaders are not as versatile in my opinion. But they work and can be counted on.
I have some revolvers that are more than 50 years old that have never given me a problem. I try not to drop them in the sand.😁
