Thanks for posting the videos, more should watch these.
revolvers are so reliable that most modern armies are moving back to them.
No kidding! They're busting down doors at Ruger and Smith to replace their issued autos.
Just like revolvers, not all autos are created equal.
S&W's are notorious for their quality, and so are Glocks. The videos showed a quality auto smoking a quality revolver(even the base model 1911 kept rolling with a little work) when it comes to reliability in dealing with crud you would find in the field.
The obvious takeaway was the Glock blowing the doors off the Smith. However the important takeaway? When the G17 choked, the ability to get the gun running again without sloshing in water to fix malfunctions should stand out to even the most ardent revolver supporter, unfortunately some wheel guys still have issues with reality.
Yes, quality autos can puke, but if they do you have many more options to fix it while still in the fight where as a revolver is extremely limited in that regard,....unless you carry a bucket of water on your belt.!? and even then...
