Questions
Your questions, as noted earlier, presuppose much that may not be so about both types of firearm. Taken as a whole, even though you ask about the truth/accuracy of the statements, the message from the get-go is that revolvers are better than pistols.
Note: it does not take 50 years to shoot 50K rounds. Anyone involved in competition may well surpass that in a much shorter time. I have a 1911 that has in excess of 60k rounds through it and that is 20 years. Gun still going strong...has never been to a gunsmith since being accurized right after purchase.
Note: with the exception of CAS, pretty much all shooting competitions are dominated by semiauto pistols. There are good reasons for that.
