A handgun is a self defense weapon meant for close range if you need a .50 or 16 shots instead of 7 or whatever you will probably just find yourself dead because you weren't proficient with your weapon.
If you routinely need to shoot through windshields or car doors to defend yourself you may be able to make an argument but I assure you I can kill you just as dead with a .22 subsonic hollow point as I can with a 50mm artillery round. and it wont take me but one shot either way.
whatever you shot...practice practice practice.

that's a much different post than the one where you call people idiots and they shouldn't be shooting if they can't hit the target at 30 feet with a 9mm.
i go to the gun club at least 2x a month and shoot at least a box of 9's, a box of .17hmr and as many shottie shells as my shoulder allows and i can tell you 30 feet is a fucking long distance for the 9mm.
