I believe revolvers get one more "in touch" with the mechanics of it all, and get one to play closer attention. I see this difference in revolver vs. auto shooters every time I am at my range. The revolver guys are much more deliberate about what they are doing. That, of course, may be somewhat of a "chicken or the egg" kind of a question, but I certainly do see it.

I bought a .45 Ruger Vaquero based on Jeff's and others recommendation years ago and I found the above to be true in every sense. I have a gallimaufry (sorry, I have wanted to use that word for a while) of hand guns in all calibers and, over the years, have gotten proficient.
As always, the real key, and you have always been a smart young man here, is get to the range and test drive with a knowledgeable wing man. Your first car wasn't your last car, your first set of clubs wasn't the best and it won't be with guns either.
Enjoy.
Oh, one other thing. Set goals for shooting. Once you find out what is reasonable, mark your progress.
