"Mike, comparing an lcr to a g20 to make your point is a bit ridiculous."
About as ludicrous as making vast, sweeping generalizations that essentially equate any single revolver to any single semi-auto, wouldn't you say?
My comparison wasn't intended to be empirical data.
But it was intended to point out to you the massive flaw in your argument.
"As far as mechanical complexity, yes revolvers are more complex."
Your proof is a DRAWING naming the parts?
What the hell kind of "proof" is that?
Mechanical complexity is NOT measured by the total sum of an object's parts, it is measured by the operational interplay BETWEEN those parts.
And, once again, you're choosing a SINGLE revolver to represent the entire class, and a SINGLE semi-auto to represent the entire class.
I guess you haven't learned anything about sweeping generalizations.
