So--are revolvers perfectly reliable?  No.  I could go on with examples to prove it--guns so dirty the cylinder won't turn, etc.  The bottom line is that revolvers were, in decades past, considered more reliable than pistols.  There was a saying in the old days that revolvers would take more neglect, but pistols would take more abuse, which was why cops and citizens chose revolvers but armies chose pistols.  Times have changed.

Today pistol technology has changed to the point where pistols are so reliable that they can be considered as reliable as revolvers.  I say this with a caveat.  There are still pistols on the market which were designed over 100 years ago.  The 1911 is the prime example.  If a 1911 is not well made, and is not carefully made, and is not fed with high quality magazines, and is not fed quality ammo, it will not run perfectly. 

Modern pistols, which is to say those designed in the last 40 years or so, corrected many of the problems of much older designs.  The most significant was the lack of straight line feeding.  With a 1911 and MANY other pistols the round is struck by the slide, pops up, moves forward, is moved down again by the slide, and enters the chamber. 

With a modern pistol the magazine rides higher in the frame and the slide simply pushes the round straight into the chamber.  This one small thing improves reliability by a quantum leap.  Pistol using this method of feeding are so much more reliable than the pistols of our youth that we need to throw out the things we believed about pistol vs. revolver reliablity back in the mid-century and slightly later of the 1900s.

All this said, there is nothing wrong with liking revolvers.  As I said before, I like them.  I love them.  I've never personally had one fail, even though I have personally witnessed many failures--mostly on the police range.  I keep my revolvers clean and well maintained, and my personal revolvers will always go bang, as you suggested.  I just don't want to give the wrong impression to the world at large that this is an automatic reality, no pun intended, because it is not.
