I don't know who taught you firearms safety, but they suck at it. I have never heard that, and have had plenty of training.
I see you've looked at cases of self defense and how many rounds were fired. That's great.
Did you also investigate how long the incidents lasted? Do you honestly believe, in a true life or death situation, where you are not supposed to pull your gun unless you've made the decision to use it, that you're going to have time to pull the gun and rack the slide (providing it's a semi auto)?
You don't lose any time with your revolver, but you are losing a round with your empty chamber.
Have you also looked at the rates of shots on target vs missed shots in such a stressful situation?
Look into those. That's why I carry more rounds than what a wheel gun holds with one chamber empty.
