You guys with combat experience, I wonder if you have an opinion as to whether a pistol - any pistol - used in combat is more successful in an offensive role than in a defensive role, or vice-versa or same-same.
And I'll leave it up to you to define "successful."

TJM,
I am not sure I really understand your question. That being said, the M9s, 1911s and Glocks have all been used quite effectively in our recent ongoing World War.
On another note, We (our military, not me)are using more than just the M9 and M11. Just off the top of my head, I know units using various 1911s, BUNCHES of units using Glock 19s, 17s and one unit using the G22. Add the HK45C, P226s for some Navy dudes.
It is a great thing to see the latitude given individual units, in regards to getting what they want, from handguns, to top quality hiking boots, to Toyota pickups and 4 wheelers.
