I don't trust auto loaders when the chips are down. I've had too many stovepipes on my pistol (dab of Lubriplate cures it, but can't do that at a critical moment) and seen way more autos jamming than revolvers (maybe because there are more?). Traded in my pistol for the Mossberg pump.

Probably the only semi auto I will ever bother with is the M1 Garand. Not for defense, though.
