Between an automatic and a revolver? Generally, the automatic is advantageous - higher round capacity, faster capability for firing, slimmer design, etc. However, in a typical self defence situation, you're not going to be burning through multiple magazines - it's typically a one or two shot deal, in which a revolver would suffice. If you're expecting to have to ward off a home invasion with multiple attackers, you definitely want something other than a revolver. But a typical situation, you can do fine with the revolver. It's all in what you're more experienced and more comfortable with.
