Yep. The only advantage of wheel guns over semi-autos is they don't leave a brass on the ground.

Thats a big stretch in concerns written by a semi loving author.
At least amongst his list a extremely rare risks he still added a slice of truth to the article.

With extractor issues you at least don't have to care about them for 5-6 shots.

My biggest issue with semi's is the lack of sa/da for a carry piece, i know they are out there, but they are uncommon.
Part of the reason i carry a p64 (mak clone)

I've purchased revolvers that were definitely tucked away in drawers or safes for several decades and they fired just fine.
You drag yours through the mud and/or shoot it until it's caked with carbon, yeah it'll probably fail.
The mechanical failures in the article are exceedingly rare and just don't happen with a well-maintained and fired (tested) gun.
Nearly all non-ammo related failures I've ever had with a semi are due to the magazine and feeding from it. Revolvers do neither.
