9 revolvers, 7 autos.
It was more lopsided in terms of revolvers but I've traded a couple of them off recently and went on a Ruger .22 auto acquisition kick.

I opened this thread fully expecting to see a poll.
Currently my ratio is 95% revolver, 5% auto...give or take a smidge, because I'm too lazy to whip out the calculator.

Gentlemen,
I have always been a revolver person, and at 61 am not likely to change.
I have owned way too many handguns to begin with, but with both my sons (Marines) getting married this year I had to cut down considerably.
My one sole auto is a Beretta Jetfire .25 auto; love it, has NEVER failed me.
I have 4 .38 Special revolvers.
My duty gun from the Cleveland Police Department - model 10 HB.
A 2" round butt model 10.
A model 60 from 1974, likely fired no more than maybe 250-300 rounds.
A WWII Colt Commando .38 Special (an Official Police that is parkerized.)
I am very happy with these handguns. I was also issued both a S&W 5903 and a 6906 while with Cleveland, and, for the record, they never failed me, either. I was in SWAT Unit (full-time) for 5 years and we shot our pistols, first-responder weapons (M1 carbines) and I had to turn in 2 targets per week zeroing my counter-sniper rifle (Remington 700P in .308.)
Loved them all - miss the job.
Semper fi,
Dave Swaffield

My ratio has changed over the years in favor of the revolver. Currently it is slightly over 90% revolver to slightly under 10% auto. If and when I complete future plans, it will be 100% revolver. The revolvers are largely single-actions.

It doesn't matter to me, really, what ratio of autos to revolvers other people have. It only matters what ration of autos to revolvers I have.

5 Autos - 3 Revolvers
Most of my shooting is done with Revolvers.
Most of my carrying is done with autos.
All my handguns are pistols.

5:6, tipping the balance just towards the revolvers.
Now, if I can scrounge up the cash for a new .357 and .22, it would put the revolvers farther ahead. But I have also been wanting a new 1911, so that would even things back out...
