exactly, I get what the OP is saying about wheel guns "can" fail, but a quality revolver failing due to anything beyond EXTREME negligence,, (ie dragging it through the mud with cylinder open) just really never happens, and if you do that to a semi-auto you get the same failures... yet they can ALSO jam from a single bad round..
the concept of the wheel gun reliability is pretty sound and sage advice.

The problem I find can be with ammunition. I've had Ruger LCRs and 642/442s come in with stuck cylinders because the projectiles were not crimped properly.
They walked out just enough to stop the cylinder from rotating.
It's only happened a handful of time in my 10 year stint behind the counter but it's happend.
May be what the writer is illuding to.
