Why do they stil make revolvers?

<< Reliability and POWER... sure the Desert Eagle's got a big ol' 45 and there are some funky 10mm semiauto pistols out there...

But it seems that only revolvers can have enough material withstand the tremendous chamber pressures reliably. >>



If automatics were having problems withstanding the chamber pressure, they would explode in your hand. As long as the barrel is not fouled (and by fouled I mean totally obstructed, not dirty), this rarely happens. BTW, the Desert Eagle is chambered in 50 AE, 440 Corbon, and 357 Mag, not in 45.

sure you can; it's just a very short game. the smart player generously gives his opponent first go.

Nah. You load it, then you go first. Then you work the action for the first time and pass it to your opponent.
