Re: The role of the revolver as a self defense handgun - By ikor
As a BUG yes- I recently did my 1st shooting course, and learnt new skills , which included how my 9mm pistol can malfunction at close range if I should really need it. A BUG revolver probably won't have the same limitations (my slide did not cycle as it should have, which I knew could happen but seeing it happen is an eye opener...)

Revolvers suffer a similar problem if the attacker is able to get a hand on it.

Re: The role of the revolver as a self defense handgun - By ikor
You are right. An attacker may interfere with the operation of a pistol slide and with the cylinder operation of a revolver. But- a pistol has to have space for the slide to cycle back, a revolver especially with an internal hammer only needs for the cylinder to revolve in order to shoot off a round.

True, but just grabbing or holding it will still give you at least one shot. Revolvers on the other hand, if the cylinder can't revolve, it can't shoot.

Re: The role of the revolver as a self defense handgun - By ikor
Both types are easily disabled if you can get your hands on them. You are also quite likely to get shot for trying this trick...
If you can actually get your hands on an opponent's gun, you would be better off just disarming him, if you know what you are doing in the first place.
