Don't know. I got rid of my last wheel gun and probably won't buy another one. Not sure why. I don't think it is the capacity but just not a fan of wheel guns.

Sticking to the needs of the TV Show you are better off with and auto due to the high capacity and the fast reload which is what the Military decided.
But, in the show you see them having to use what ever Guns they have.
The Stainless Steel Revolver in the Show is a symbol of something. I have not figured it out yet. It is also one of the mistakes in the show because most of the Places they find Ammo and other Guns the Ammo is for Semi-autos. He fires His revolver more then he finds Ammo for it.
I blieve they have 10 shot Revolvers and some States lik CA limit the capacity of Semi-Autos unless you have an older Gun and a stash of Magazines.
The Revolver thing is the ability to handle more powerful Cartridges. Wich in the TV show would have been better on the occasional Deer then the typical Semi-Auto.
When I was in the Army 1970-73 the Helicoptor Piolots were issued 38 special Smith and Wesson Model 10s not the 1911A1 (they had a Shoulder Holster). The reason was at the time there was no double Action Semi-autos in the Military.
The Pilots needed the Revolvers because they could be fired one handed incase the Pilot got injured in a crash which with Helicoptors is more frequent then you think.
A Revlolver can be reloaded slowly and awakardly witn one Hand. Someone wounded in the Hand or Arm might not be able to pull the slide back on a 1911A1 if the accidently released it prematurly.
