Really... it is hard to choose when you think about it. Both have very good strong points, each unique to the style of weapon. Revolvers are more reliable, tend to carry more penetration even with smaller rounds and are more safer to carry. Yet at the other end of the table modern 'pistols' have a greater rate of fire and carry more rounds per magazine. Practicality leans me towards modern handguns though.
Then there is history, these two things sway my head just as much as practicability! If a handgun has a certain history to it, and I don't mean reputation as being a penis enlarger but a real history, then I am going to be swayed more to purchasing it. A WW2 era revolve carried on the battle field is more likely to mean something more to me then a freshly minted revolved coming off the assembly line, even if made as a replication of a real WW2 weapon.
Also I can't go past a good looking weapon... this doesn't mean gold plated, it means actual style!
PS: For those who want hand cannons... I laugh at your penis size! No, really I do laugh at you but maybe not for your penis. Hand cannons are just pure Hollywood bullshit! Even countries that make them do NOT use them for their military for a simple reason: They are just too damn heavy, have a far limited ammo capacity, are to noisy/bright and have way to much recoil.
They tend to use much more compact, lighter and just as deadly side arms and if they need higher penetration and range... hey that is what the rifle is for! Also, just to point out, for home defence or competition shooting a smaller handgun is still far superior to a hand cannon.
