Actually if already grappling I would go with my own knife, and hand to hand capabilities.
But to answer the OP. Any quality Hammerless revolver will be much more reliable at contact distances than any semi auto pistol.
1. Doesn't get pushed out of battery
2. "blow back" from shooting someone at contact range will not jam a revolver, many semi auto's will jam from the bad guys biological "stuffing" getting blown in to the action.
3. The bad guy can't mechanically stop the hammerless revolver from firing i.e. blocking the hammer, grabbing the slide, pushing a pistol's slide out of battery.
For me that means my BUG, S&W 642. Another capability that only a hammerless revolver can give you.
Good luck.
