Better is a relative term- you need to specify better for what. Semi auto pistols tend to be flatter than revolvers, and MAY hold more cartridges. Revolvers MAY fire a more powerful cartridge than a semi auto (not always). A revolver is simpler to operate, and functioning is more reliable.

What is a non semiautomatic pistol?
A single shot pistol, a Derringer and even a revolver are technically NOT considered semiautomatic. To be semiautomatic, the weapon would need to use the energy from a previous round to cycle the action. Revolvers use the muscle energy of the shooter's finger to revolved the chamber.
Which is a better personal carry handgun a revolver or a semiautomatic?
It depends, revolvers are much more reliable than semiautos due to their simple design, however revolvers shoot much slower and have limited capacities. Basically, revolvers will fire 99.99% of the time and are easy to maintain, however in a fire fight or other self defense scenario a semiautomatic will be able to put more shots onto a target leading to a higher chance of incapacitation of the target. My personal preference is a semiautomatic which i clean once a week to prevent jamming and misfires.

When were semiautomatic available?
Modern semiautomatic weapons became available around the turn of the 19th century. Early in the 20th Century, these types of weapons become widely available.Although revolvers have been around since the early 1800's and CAN fit the definition of semiautomatic: "Firing ONE round for every pull of the trigger" they generally are excluded as it is human muscles that rotate the cylinder in preparation for the next shot. This is not different that working a bolt-action, or pumping a shotgun. If there was a revolver-type handgun that used the RECOIL of the previous shot to rotate the cylinder, that COULD be considered semiautomatic.
