Just wondering...which style is the most reliable......less chance of

The revolver is more dependable, but only slightly better with the new
auto actions. I've blown up a P-38 Walther. I've never had that unhappy
experience with a double or single action, black or smokeless powder
pistol. Shotguns are another matter, weak pin springs can cause constant
jams.
