Wait, if a revolver has a FAIL to fire and you pull the trigger a second time it will not strike the primer of the failed to fire round. It will turn the cylinder to the next round.
If my 1911 fails to fire on a round I can pull the hammer back for a second go but I train with snap caps mixed in with my normal ammo mixed in the mags. Fail to fire = pull slide back and eject failed ammo and fire good. 2,500 rounds and the only fail to fire my 1911 have had was once one of my sons loaded a round in the mag back-wards! 45acp chambered 75% of the way.
I'll keep the 3 second reload on my 1911 over the longer reload for a revolver.
I have had failure to feed with aftermarket 10 round mags. The same mag works in my Marlin Camp 45 but fails to work on my 911. It jams the whole action up and is a PIA to remove. The 3 "bad" 10 round mags are tapped around the bottom so that I know that they do not work with my 1911.
