revolvers can always be shot faster than semi-autos because the cycle time on an auto is always the same. Recoil pushes back the slide and ejects the round, then the slide has to come back forward while encountering the resistance of the fresh round coming from the magazine and into the chamber. Revolvers are as fast as the fingers shooting them.

There's a guy who has beat Miculek in competition - Bud Bond. He beat him in 2001, I believe. Bud had all his gun work done at the shop I worked at, so we had his little plaque hanging up for quite a while. He and the owner have since had a falling out (EVERYONE eventually has a falling out with this owner, including me) so I don't know what's become of Bud.
