One would assume you'd want to carry what YOU are best suited to use, not what I am best suited for.

I've shot for 47 years with the majority of that in one form of competition or other, and I use 1911's as my Primary carry and competition and I am quite proficient with the 1911 platform, but I am not ashamed to say I've had my pants beat off me from guys using revolvers, and this includes speed loads. Anyone ever see Jerry Miculek compete with a revolver????

The most important thing in a lethal confrontation is to stay calm, find COVER, and SHOT PLACEMENT. Not do as the Russians plan on doing when they take out an american CVN. Launch 1000 missiles and know that at least 5 will hit.
