I can only speak from my experience, I’m no where near a gun expert! My dad, husband, and myself took a firearms class for our enhanced carry permit. We had to put time in at the range as part of the class.
I was the only one in the group of about 20 that had a revolver. My gun was also the only one that did not jam. Every other gun jammed at least once. We fired A LOT of rounds.
My dad is beyond OCD about cleaning his gun, so I know it wasn’t about the guns not being cleaned, at least not his.
I understand that it’s unlikely for a well maintained gun to jam. But if my life depends on it, I want to know my gun will fire every single time. This is just my experience of course.
