I own a bunch of revolvers and a couple of semiautos, including a 1911. All of mine function flawlessly. I wouldn't keep a handgun that malfunctioned.
That having been said, the simplicity of operation of a revolver is definitely an asset. Essentially, all you need to know is to point the gun and pull the trigger. Note, I didn't say "simplicity of design." Revolvers are actually fairly complicated pieces of equipment, no less so than most semiautos. Their operation may be somewhat simpler than semiautos, but their engineering/design is not.
