I've been reading the pistol-training forums, or whatever they've been renamed now.  There is quite a bit of hate for rotating barrel pistols, some of it warranted.  The late Todd Green's tales of PX4 freezing shut and requiring a mallet to field strip is... not encouraging.  The earlier cougars apparently don't have a stellar reputation either.

 

What I'm wondering is whether there's some reason that a rotating barrel would suck.  If there is a reason it would suck, it's not obvious to me.  Mostly because rotating barrels just aren't that different from tilting ones.
