I have been shooting for a while, maybe 53 years, and have had far more malfunctions with autoloaders than revolvers.
Most of the autoloader failures were cleared by immediate action; many were due to ammo or magazine problems.
But the two completely disabling parts breakages I have had have been with revolvers. I had the hammer pin break in an S&W Model 36, and the entire top part of the hammer break off in a Colt PPS. So, maybe that evens things out. I have never had a bullet stuck in the barrel except in one of my reloads (which is one reason I never use reloads in a carry gun).
Still, I prefer the revolver for carry.
