any good auto is so reliable that it's almost a non-issue when choosing one platform over another. I have an assortment of both but I generally go with revolvers for more powerful cartridges like .357 mag and .44 mag when I'm up in the woods and need some oomph. I go for autos when I'm concerned about trouble from smaller critters. I guess it depends on what I think I might have to protect myself from and the situation I think I might find myself in. autos are preferable for their higher capacity and faster reloads NTM very few revolvers allow you to mount a light on the gun. also with an auto there are good choices in the $300-400 range if you're on a budget where a good revolver that cheap will have to be found on the used market.

we can debate auto vs revolver until the end of time but in the end it will always come back to the gun that you feel the most confident with and shoot the best
