Pros and cons are not balanced.
No argument, revolvers have less ammo on board. Do you really expect to need more than 5 bullets? On TV and the movies they have gun battles all the time. If you are a cop you may need lots of bullets. I just can't imagine many situations the average citizen will be blasting away and need more than one bullet much less a 16 round clip. Nothing wrong with more bullets but 5 is likely more than most would ever need. Of course I am just speculating. I have never been in a situation where guns were drawn. I hope to never be in that situation.
