I do know folks of shooting experience/ history that are mediocre at best w a 9mm and flat out suck w a .40 or .45.
Maybe thats the avg pistolero.
I dunno, but my time at a couple ranges would support such a view.
However, having grown up shooting handguns, I dont see a
45 acp as anything requiring effort to shoot well. Even w +P.
Do think some folks are just too sensitive and or lazy.
And I bet going to a 9mm doesnt help them as much as they think.
But confidence is not to be ignored. If they think a 9mm helps em and they do OK with it ( not great, just OK ), maybe thats good enough.
