I think that a firearm will be reliable or it won't, regardless of whether or not it is a revolver or a semi-auto. I can say that the semi auto has the edge on potential problems because there are more moving parts, thus more potential for something to go wrong.

My experiences have been that my autos have been more reliable than the revolvers that I have had. Sounds strange, but is a true story. Juyst like anything else, I judge a firearm on it's own merits.
