Why do we still use revolvers today if pistols can hold more ammo and shoot faster?
In: Physics
Revolvers are pistols. Semantics, but words matter.
Simplicity and strength. You can fit a larger cartridge in a revolver both from a strength standpoint and size. With an automatic the cartridge has to fit in the grip. Do this with a 44mag and the grip is huge. The still make small ones but those are mainly a price point self defense weapon. You can get a reliable Taurus that fits in a purse or front pocket for way less than a reliable auto.
