. . . I'm pretty set on having a revolver due to reliability purposes. However, I wouldn't be opposed to getting an automatic if it's truly worth it.
I know the advantages of automatics: faster ROF and higher capacity magazine. However, I don't know like the possibility of it jamming.
The 5 shot capacity is a limitation. You have to decide for yourself if you are comfortable with that.
I posted this in another thread, but here's my solution to the limitted capacity... There's no rule that says you only need to carry one...
Mosin-Nagant pistols make great paper weights, or if you tie enough of them together you have a Great boat anchor for your boat.
