Revolvers, because I don't trust my life to a RECOIL SPRING.
Wow, what an eye opener, I have two carry guns that are down for repair, one new in the last 6 months Glock 19 gen4, the other is a bug 380 that was new this week and it failed out of the box.
Both guns down for a recoil spring, makes you think, we bet our lives on a spring that has a life expectancy of a 1,000 rounds or so, in my case both new guns and defective springs.
While both are down I am glad I have a trusty S&W 642 to carry and a Kahr PM9 that has been flawless for 800 rounds, the Glock 19 has not been reliable enough to even carry yet with 400 rounds.
Revolvers can break, I have to admit I have never had any of mine break over the past 40 years.
That Ruger SP-101 that I have had my eye on might just replace the G19.
Just Saying we trust our lives to a couple of springs.

which 380 your having issues with??
your just trading one thing for another  revolvers rely on delicate timing pawls and hands instead of recoil springs heh. half dozen of one or another

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate spring mishap. Yes, I like carrying a revolver as much as a semi.

The 380 is a Master Piece Arms Protector 380.

Both a machines and all machines can fail. I understand where you're coming from but I think I'll keep my 1911 around and allow my wife to back me up with her revolver.

Might be your choice of Semi autos or just bad luck. The Master Piece Arms Protector 380 is tiny (even 0n the .380 scale) and I expect will always have issues. I have a few semi autos that have a high round counts on that don't show any signs of the springs weakening. Much like the shocks on your car they are built to take lot of use before they no longer work properly. I carry a semi auto most of the time but my lite carry is a S&W 642 and my hunting/hiking/camping sidearm is a S&W 586.
