Yeah... I was being a BIT sarcastic. Your ratio of rep points to posts is well above the average here - for sure. We may not always agree but we do appear somewhat useful for something!
I usually carry a Ruger LCP, sometimes a Kahr PM9 - but this S&W Model 38 Bodyguard Airweight is in my nightstand (and a Winchester Defender 12Ga. under the bed):
I'd take Rambo in heartbeat with a silenced 22 semi auto rifle, from ambush, no problem. It's not like anyone is actually attacking you with a belt fed mg, either, you know. Only a small fraction of attackers make you shoot at all, much less hit them. So the 22 can "bluff" as well as anything else. I'll recommend a good quality 22 autopistol over a revolver, any day, cause DA is hard to hit with and thumbcocking (and uncocking) the hammer is slow and dangerous.
TWENTYTWO revolvers aren't all that reliable, when fired DA exclusively. they have many more times as many misfires, than centerfire loads do. Da is notorious for not firing rds that fire just fine when the cap is popped in SA mode.
people who won't train enough to use an auto well enough need to stick with batons/knives, so they don't create fuel for the fire of the antig-gunners. You just cant help the weak/stupid, man and they really SHOULD perish, anyway, before they pollute the gene-pool or influence other people.

Sure, no problemo. I'm surprised that you didn't check. s&w jam - YouTube
As for the videos of Glocks jamming, I've seen several reports on how often a Glock can be fired without cleaning until there is an FTF. It seemed to usually run over a thousand, sometimes thousands. I've seen a Glock buried for a year and then rinsed off and fired with very few failures: Glock 21 Buried 2 years then 500rd test fire - YouTube
I don't believe that your videos were real jams (it's also possible mine above was faked). It's difficult to imagine that a cameraman would be willing to wait around for over a thousand rounds to catch a problem. I've heard that sometimes they fail to fire if limp-wristed, but that would probably result in the target being missed if a revolver were being used, and anyway everyone should have been taught to not do that, and to have practiced at least a little if not every week.

Thanks for the post, but I don't really think it supports your position:
Oh, did I miss one? Oh, I did! sorry. I am not sure what the point of this video is since it is a rim fire revolver that apparently had a .22 casing expand somehow, or how it relates to the topic or my post, but here it is:
'S alright! Been down that road a few times myself, and recently. Cheers right back atcha...
