I have seen a novice shooter who shoot a Smith M60 better than a full sized auto like a G17. I think it boils down to less opportunity to flinch with the long DA trigger.
Although autos are usually a better solution, for some who are not really gun people even something like a Glock or M&P without a safety has a more ‘confusing’ manual of arms than a DA revolver.
It really boils down to the individual and not the firearm. Some people just get along with revolvers better and vice versa. Both have been successful employed for over 100 years so I would go with what the individual feels most comfortable with.
