My father showed me both type of handguns when I learned to fire as a young boy. One of the most important things beside the "safety" and "never pointing the business end at anyone unless you plan to use it", was that he broke down the advantages/disadvantages of both a revolver and semi-automatic handguns. I can still hear him say, that while their are many disadvantages to a revolver, their are two issues that stood out most favorably...one is that you are not worried about a jammed magazine/or poor operating magazine and the other was that the revolver, based on the actions of your hostile opponent, gave you time to think clearly before you engaged him.

Thanks for the co-sign, SilentBob. I had a very similar experience with my dad, too. We shot his Ruger Standard first, and then move on to his Dan Wesson 357, which of course was loaded with 38s. I was actually afraid to shoot a Beretta when I was 12-13, but once my brother and cousin talked me into it, I found it to be quite pleasant. At least in single action. I struggled with double action revolvers then too though. It wasn't till much later in life that I realized why I preferred a DAO revo. Students shoot DA/SA revos in SA on the range, then when it really matters, they're stuck struggling with a 12+lb pull that they've never gotten personal with. There's many a person who struggles with DA pulls on semis and revos, but it seems more common on revolvers in my experience.
Maybe we need a new thread about the "Best Brand"
In my opinion there's nothing better than Heckler&Koch. If its the P8, G36, G22, G3 or MP7. I carried these guns for quite some time, gave them a beating, trusted my life on them, they never let me down...
