Which is more reliable,

Here, Here. With the 686+ in a four inch barrel, even your wife will be able to shoot .357s without fear of getting knocked on her butt. Great gun with reassuring substance.
 
Since you asked which is more reliable, the answer (based on personal experience) is revolver. I've owned a number of Glocks, 1911's, and others as well as quite a few revolvers. No failures with revolvers. A very limited number of failures with the semi-autos. However, I don't worry about those isolated problems and carry a semi-auto daily.
 
I like the durability of a semi, but I like the dependability of a revolver. I like the idea that if I pull the trigger on a dud, I can pull the trigger again, and it MOST LIKELY will go bang! Plus, no feeding or extraction problems.
 
Revolver.

Don't mess with the springs or action.

Use factory ammunition.

Pull trigger. BOOM.

Simple as that.
 
There is no doubt that there are some auto's out there that are known for there legendary reliability, but the revolver has been around for about 180 years, and except for design and function changes, has demonstrated reliability from the start.
The difference between the Colt Patterson and the Ruger Vaquero is relatively small considering the time span, and the evolution of other inventions over the same period of time. The same can be said (albeit a shorter time period) for the double actions.
A perfect design needs little change.
 
I was about to place my order for the Taurus revo but for some reason decided to go home instead. While watching Shoot Fest on TV, there was a guy who uses Taurus on the revo division that experience "failure to fire". I know that they're using a re-load ammo but I was began thinking again if Taurus make a reliable revo?
 
Get another CZ. They will both work the same. Revolver jams are harder to clear. My fist handgun a S&W M19 I cracked the forcing cone. I had a S&W M586 the ejector rod kept comming loose when the cylinder was closed. If I needed to re-load I wouldn't be able to open the cylinder. I would need a small screw dirver to push the ejector rod to open the cylinder. I've never had a problem with a pistol. Also pistols & revolvers are different. With revolver you need a high grip & pull the trigger back/up. With a pistol a high grip isn't important & the trigger is pulled straight back. Also the CZ has a safety which the revolver dosen't. You don't want to pick up a revolver & operate it like your CZ. You don't want to pick up your CZ & operate it like your revolver. Since you have a CZ & know how it operates. Get another pistol that operates the same way.
