In case anyone isn't reading between the lines:
The chief advantage of a more complicated, less reliable, more expensive semi-auto handgun is its larger capacity in a smaller profile. A semi-auto packs rounds tightly together rather than having an effective chamber around each one.
But if you don't actually get more rounds, might as well opt for a revolver like the parent.
