I fail to see the si called "advantage" of revolvers infact I see the disadvantage. In my experience revolvers aren't easier to shoot or operate and they aren't more reliable.
I'll take a semi auto over a revolver every time. The Sig P365 is small, easy to shoot well and has plenty of magazine capavity
NDs with autos often occur because folks think they've unloaded the gun when they haven't. DA revolvers are much simpler. If you can push the cylinder latch and swing the cylinder out, you can tell if it's loaded or unload it and make it safe. It also requires less manipulation to go from Safe to Ready. Poke the damn thing full of bullets and close the cylinder. There are lots of people out there who are never going to be 4th degree black belt martial artists with a handgun. In the end it's about familiarity with the gun you have, attaining basic marksmanship skills and having the wherewithal to shoot a SOB to the ground right now when the situation warrants it.

I don't understand it either. I also agree. New carriers are also very self conscious about "printing", so a K-frame is out of the question. Most don't practice often enough, and a semi generally has a better trigger than a revolver and is easier to shoot. Working in a gunshop/range, the whole slide manipulation thing is overblown. Most have never been taught the push-pull technique.

I don't understand it either. Much simpler manual of arms, and much safer to use for those who will not become shooting enthusiasts.

Unless, while distracted, you do that routine in the reverse order. None of us would do that, but a non-enthusiast might.

Not as accurate at what distance? 1-3 yards under stressful conditions, I don't think there's much of a difference, if any.

I would not steer anyone to a revolver over a semi auto for self defense use

There’s a reason Glocks became the go to gun for the cops. Simple and reliable. I agree with your assessment.

If you can operate a revolver, work a TV remote, or follow a cake recipe you can operate a striker fired pistol.
If you’re still justifying your carry gun with shootings at 6’, you’ve been living under a rock.
The notion that the overwhelming majority of women can’t rack a slide is absurd and parroted by ineffective instructors who don’t know what or how to teach.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

And if people are carrying Shields and LCPs, they’ve already accepted only having 5-6 rounds. There’s gotta be another reason for choosing a revolver.

Most importantly...never bring a skateboard to a gunfight!
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Since we have quite a few proponents of semi-autos here, let's throw some specifics into the mix: Single action w/ safety, DA/SA, or shoot-a-hole-in-your-thigh striker-fired without safety (except for that silly trigger lever safety)?

Striker fire semi is just pull the trigger same as a double action revolver. Your shoot "your self in the thigh" arguement doesn't hold water I have no problem with 1911 style semi's, can shoot double actiln semi's but don't care for them as much as a striker fire semi Striker fire semi autos dominate police and military use, there is a reason for the dominance

For semi-autos, I'll stick with hammers on SIG P225s, P226s, P227s and Beretta 92s for "multi-use" applications.
