Maybe because of recoil issues with some large bore cartidges can be just as bad with semi-autos. Go buy a 50cal Desert Eagle and shoot it and see how usefull a 4LB 12oz semi-auto is.

With a big bore revolvers when a owner screws up on his handload or with maintenence his handgun if it blows the cylinder tens to go up and out leaveing most parts intact. That can't often be said about sem-autos.
Break a slide or split a barrel and head and hands can be damaged baddly. Buy a quality firearm, keep tham all in good shape and maintan it and enjoy a life time of shooting..
