Handgun question
Old Timer: Spent a lot of my "younger days" with handguns, Distinguished Pistol, NRA Instructor, etc. Camp Perry, etc. Suggest you check-out "American Handgunner" magazine, what I believe to be an excellent source of handgun specific info.

Revolvers
Old Ttimey -
I vote revolver.....
Especially if you don't practice, much.
Also, if you want to keep things " simple ".
Not only the revolvers simplicity of design, but also in its operation.
Acquisition costs are typically lower than the semi-autos.
I' ve carried an "N" frame .357Mag of either 6", 5", or 4" bb; length;,
for 33yr now.
Best of luck in your endeavors !

Revolver
Until recently I shot 15,000 rounds a year in practice and competetion through a semi auto. Love them, have 25. Have 1 revolver.
Too many things to go wrong with a pistol and a failure rate much higher then a revolver
I carry a S&W 640 357 revolver, totally concealed hammer. I can shoot it right through my coat pocket if necessary.
How many rounds do you think you will need in a gun fight? I plan to be shooting as I am running away.

You posted this before on this site & were asked to go elsewhere w/it; maybe over to "The High Road" you'll find a more receptive crowd...

Mr. Brian Roberts, would you believe, that we aren't an aggressive crowd.
Mr. Old Timer, can you possibly trust and believe in Glock?

If you handload, there are far fewer problems with a revolver.
Autos are very persnickety about ammo.

Not a spring chicken either
Like the KISS rule, in he rare event that a cartridge doesn't fire (has yet to happen) a second trigger pull on a double action revolver gets the job done.
Carry gun is a S&W revolver with combat action job courtesy of Clark Customs and a Laser-grip to complement the iron sights.
The Laser-grips are great for trigger practice.
