That is simply cherry picking motions needed.
Racking is part of the loading motion, not shooting motion. If you include racking the slide to make self-loaders sound more complicated, then you should also include putting rounds in 6 separate cyliners and closing the slide in revolver too, since that is what self-loader achieves with inserting a magazine and racking the slide.
I know what others do, and I only know S&W revolvers, but I don't think I would EVER walk around with a semi "cocked and locked". I know people say it's safe, but the last time I did a search, I found instances of where the gun fired anyway. With the S&W, there is a steel plate preventing the hammer from ever reaching the bullet unless you physically pull back the trigger.
Simplicity - you can probably hand anyone a revolver, and he'll know what to do to make it go Bang! Maybe not with a SA. Maybe.
Your "feel" of self-loaders being more complicated to clean is just that: YOUR "feel." Nothing more.
OK, let me rephrase. For me, cleaning my S&W revolvers is simpler than cleaning my Colt Combat Commander. If I haven't used the Colt for a year or two, as was the case before, I had to figure it all out all over again. With the revolver, I found it more instinctive.
Probability of case not properly ejected is far less than probability of needing more than 6 in a gun fight.
Just my opinion - with my Colt, there was a good chance that the ejected casing never made it out of the gun (which is now being worked on by Colt). When I visited Colorado last month, I rented a Glock and bought a box of the range ammo. Out of 50 bullets, it jammed six or seven times. The fellow at the range said this was because I wasn't holding the gun tight enough.
It doesn't matter if the gun has 100 rounds - if it jams after one of the first few shots, most people will never get it fixed in time to fire any more.... in my opinion.
I have never yet seen any SA that never jammed. Maybe there's a good reason, that I don't yet know about, but all the friends and family I've been to the range with, who used a SA, and the times I've used one, that was always eventually an issue. Maybe once or twice in a couple of hours, or maybe once or twice every 10 minutes..... I suppose a revolver that wasn't maintained properly might also be able to jam, somehow, but has anyone here had that happen to them personally?
