I prefer revolvers because I am somewhat of a traditionalist. I know that my revolvers will pass down to my son and hopefully, his son. I need not be concerned that they will need new springs after x number of rounds to remain functional and reliable. Unless a revolver spring breaks (they rarely do), they will be go to go indefinitely; not so with autos. Revolvers are heirlooms. I have only three autos at this point, Colt Commander .45 ACP, Colt .38 Super circa 70's Combat Commander, Browning HP. They are all steel however.
