I don't handle extra-heavy 45 Colt as well as I used to so I get that point. But I've run an easy 750 rounds of 45 through a lightweight Commander (70s Colt with the tiny grip safety) in the last three weeks. It had sharp edges everywhere you grab it; but once I dehorned it, 8-10 mags are a cakewalk.
I expect at least some of the reason Hackathorn runs a 9mm in training is because 9mm is the Nu Kool Schitz and erry'body is shooting it. The guy is in the business and the better rapport you establish with your customer base, the more biz you're going to get.
I don't necessarily agree that the 380 is useless as a defense tool, particularly if the user has sense enough to engage in realistic practice and the foresight to get their hand on the gun at the first red flag.
