Modes of faliure:
1. Fail to feed / fail to index if revolver
2. Fail to fire / light primer strike
3. Fail to eject / stovepipe etc.
Maybe I'm missing something, but that's pretty much what can happen. I have never had a quality revolver in proper condition have any of the above issues. I have experienced a low end revolver have trouble indexing. Even if a round is a complete dud, feeding the next round will always happen with a decent revolver. I've seen plenty of issues with autos, even a new Glock.
Regardless, for ability to conceal and capacity, I carry autos. However, if I need a backup for hunting in brown bear country & my life could depend on it, I'll carry a revolver even if caliber were not the issue.
