The revolver and the semi-automatic striker fired handgun wonderfully symbolize two different eras:

The biggest difference is the trigger pull. A revolver demands very deliberate trigger pull in double-action, which means that the hammer isn't cocked, liberals, while a semi with a round chambered is just a light touch away from releasing deadly force.

The second biggest difference is the revolver's ability to just keep pressing the trigger after a miss-fire.

With a revolver you have to be very deliberate about firing. But you get a couple more shots if the first doesn't go off.

With a semi you shoot with no effort, but if something goes wrong, you can't just keep pulling that trigger. You have to clear the jam.

Which makes all the difference.
