I, too, have had more malfunctions with my autoloaders than my revolvers.

I even recently conducted drop tests with one of my revolvers, repeatedly dropping it out of my home office window onto the concrete patio below (2nd story office) and then dropping it, cylinder open, onto the slab in my basement to see if I could damage the ejector rod.

In neither case was I able to make the revolver non-functional.

I've had numerous failure to feed problems with semi-autos over the years, either related to my handloads, my fogetting to lubricate my 1911 or, most recently, magazine failures.

My VIS 35 Radom has recently started not extracting spent shells from the chamber, leading to jams.

Most of my semi-autos are extremely reliable, but my revolvers have, by far, been more reliable.
