Specifically, about the "far more moving parts" so I'm asking how you folks would count them.

The OP of that thread quoted something he knew would be controversial (but gave a caveat warning about this) but asked a technical question.
How would you count moving parts in a semi auto versus a revolver? That could actually be a technical discussion. And that was the original topic of discusion.
The purpose of using the quote was to call into question the idea that more moving parts = more failure. And how difficult it can be to define moving parts. If the whole slide moves does anything inside it count as a part? How about the contribution of ammo, or metallurgy at the time each type of pistol was introduced?
I don't think it was about pushing 1 type of pistol over another. The pages of discussion was all over the place but there were some good points to be found.
