This^^^^^^. The extra small bit of velocity is not a huge factor for performance, but can be an issue for follow up shots, noise, blast, recoil, etc.

The fact of the matter is that a pistol is a poor choice for a defensive weapon anyway...I was always taught to use my pistol to fight my way to my rifle.
