Oh, for miamitiger ~
If a semi-auto jams, clearing it takes anywhere from 1/2 second up to around 5 seconds depending on what is wrong, if you know what you're doing. Reloads can be done in under 3 1/2 seconds, again if you're well trained & know what you're doing.
If a revolver fails to fire, clearing it takes either:
One more trigger pull (no time at all)
A reload (5 seconds if you're fast & well-practiced, 10 seconds if you're not)
or
A trip to the gunsmith (all day).
The myth that revolvers never jam and never fail to fire is just that, a myth.
Ain't no such thing as a mechanical object that cannot fail.
