I shoot an average of 4000 rounds a month. I would bet a whole lot of money that I'm far more familiar with "pistols" in all types than you are.
Revolvers are pistols.
Their recoil is often less than a semi auto. It depends on so many factors that saying they have more or less recoil is a nonsense claim; it depends on your ammo and the mass of the gun, primarily.
Accuracy is the same. Sights matter. Build quality matters. Length of your barrel matters. It all matters.
You can throw a Ruger GP100 in the mud and I'd trust it any day over a Glock covered in mud. It's foolish to claim otherwise.
Glocks are great handguns. But they have malfunctions just the same, especially when you have mags with worn out springs like a lot of daily carry guns do because people pack the mags full and then leave them that way for years on end.
I'm not saying revolvers are better, I'm saying they have pros and cons and it's personal preference. Many people who obviously know more than you do think they're the best guns to carry when you need them most. I won't say I agree or disagree, just that I acknowledge the points, and I'm sharing them here because firearm knowledge is generally abysmal, even in countries where they're readily available.
