tony:
IMHO, the only real problem is in the time it's going to take to get back on target for a second shot, or your ability to do so due to recoil issues. A real heavy 9mm handgun, for example, is going to let you back on much faster than a lightweight .45....
But that's all training....
There are minor differences (other than those induced by the trigger, which is a whole 'nother thread) but if you can put six rounds in a six inch circle at 30', you're fine for a self defense gun. Paper punchers prefer better, of course, but all that "match barrel" stuff on pocket blasters is nonsense.
(Rather like "tactical underwear"....)
Just IMHO, of course....
My M&P40C is a lot harder to get back on target than my Full Size .40, but since my EDC is a small 1911, I've already trained up for it. The extra sight radius is handy, but not essential at those distances.
Regards,
