When I teach a novice, I always start out with a revolver. It’s not as easy to screw up as a semi-auto.
My hiking/camping gun is a Roger Redhawk .44 magnum. It’s quite rare for a revolver to not fire when you pull the trigger. I’ve had some automatic- yes even modern ones - that weren’t very reliable.
I was told I was limpwristing it and that’s why my former jam-O-matic would constantly stovepipe.....but it was amazing how much stronger my wrists got when I shot any other gun. I ‘ve never had a failure to feed or failure to eject (duh) with a revolver.
Ditto that!
