A lot could be job related JWP, i'm a farmer, you're an iron worker, pipe fitter, fabricator, welder.
And I raise quarter horses and longhorn cattle
I believe you're right about work-hardened hands paying less attention to the little bump a service pistol gives you. Horses, mule, fences, log chains, 5/8 cable & firewood will do that to you.
I've shot way too many critters with handguns to believe for a minute that there's no discernible difference in the terminal effect of large and small service pistol cartridges.
