Reliability of revolver is a myth. DA revolvers have more parts than an autoloader.
Revolvers have an incredible record of reliability. A "myth", would be that revolvers "never" fail, and, of course, all weapons and other machines (even Toyota engines) have mechanical failures, no matter how well built and maintained.
The goal of the pistol refinements are precisely to approach the sort of reliability enjoyed by revolvers - the standard Sig and Glock designs, which were refinements on Browning's proven action, in particular, were responses to the 'finickiness' and questionable reliability of early 20th century pistols.
