I have had autopistols including 1911s with ball ammo stovepipe, fail to feed, etc. That's never happened with a revolver.

Military "reliability" is not the same as what we need. The military needs pistols for 500,000 guys, each guy is expendable, and drops his pistol in the mud, crawls in the sand etc. And if the pistol stops sometimes, well that's combat. And the military doesn't want to train 10,000 armorers to time revolvers and hand fit parts.

Like the military is better served by arming 2,000,000 guys with 5.56 and 7.62x39 bullet hoses. Not by handing out .375 Model 70 Super Grades. But which is a better solution in Alaska or Africa?
