There are some nice 5 shot revolvers with internal hammers. A friend who works in a gun shop and teaches self defense says it is all he carries. Not much can go wrong. His opinion is most situations you will end up in are very close up and if someone grabs for your gun it is not really possible to stop it from firing compared to an automatic or revolver with an exposed hammer.
I am more of a G19/FNS9 type. Never had any issues even shooting reman at a range. I did have a G19 clip give me some issues. Can't visually see a problem but for some reason the slide will not stay open after the last round, only happens with this particular clip. Other than that both are super reliable.
