I am tempted to break out the duelies.
shit I already had my auto repurchase pick up the duelies. Who doesn't? If you can afford it, always have duelies. I also have auto quick shooter abilities to make reloading said duelies extremely fast. You'll have a few rounds pumped into you before you even knew you were fired upon, even if I had to reload upon making contact with you.
damn noobs. make the killing too easy.

I'm watching We were soldiers
and the hard core old guy is running around with a pistol and kicking ass, more then what anyone can do with a M-16 out there and he just has a 9mm? or other pistol
is there a certain age or experience when its like "screw M-16s I'm gonna kick ass with a 9mm!"?

It's Sam F**king Elliott.....duh!
One of the baddest mofos on the planet.....would you expect him to use some pansy ass M-16?
That ain't Sam's style, he'll just put a bullet in your noggin from a trusty side arm.

but seriously...
small firearms are inherently going to be more accurate at such short distances simply due to the speed.
The time it takes to move a pistol or similarly small firearm, aim it properly and fire at 25ft (what is that, without doing the math, roughly 8m), is going to enable a far more precise shot than using a rifle or similarly bulky weapon.
For sure, a pistol is less accurate at any distant than a rifle, but in terms of human capabilities and accuracy, the pistol will actually be more accurate in quick fire, simply due to the nature of using our hands and firing such a small firearm.
Basil L. Plumley (born 1920 in West Virginia) is most famous for his actions as a Sergeant-Major of the US Army's 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, at the Battle of Ia Drang (1965). General Hal Moore praised Plumley as an outstanding NCO and leader in his book We Were Soldiers Once...And Young. The Sergeant Major was known affectionately by his soldiers as "Old Iron Jaw". Plumley is a veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. He made all 4 combat jumps with the 82nd Airborne Division in WWII (Sicily, Salerno, D-Day and Market Garden) and one in Korea with the 187th Airborne Infantry Regiment. He retired as a Command Sergeant Major. After his retirement, Plumley worked for many years at a hospital in Georgia.

If I was limited to 25 ft and no closer, purely for talking points, I would choose my AR-15 with Trijicon over any handgun. I'm not trying to be urban commando here, I'm simply saying that I find it MUCH easier to acquire the target and pull the trigger with my Trijicon sight than with any pistol with open sites. It is very much point and shoot, I can be sloppy with breathing and body position, and the bullet will just go wherever the dot is when I pull the trigger. But, I'm certainly not the best, I'm sure someone else with ample training could do better.

Commando training ended with an attack on Nord Fiord, Norway. While the two companies he commanded advanced on their target, Jack stood in the lead craft, and played on his pipes ?The March of the Cameron Men?. His report at mission's end was simply: ?Maaloy battery and island captured. Casualties slight. Demolitions in progress. Churchill.?
In another attack Mad Jack and one of his enlisted men managed to sneak up on a pair of German sentries making rounds. He leapt at them, sword in hand and shouted, ?haende hoch!? The Germans obeyed by dropping weapons and raising their hands. One sentry was taken back to camp while the other had Jack?s belt wrapped round his throat, and together they continued the rounds. At each guard post his prisoner would say something to lull the guards into complacency, then a mustached-mad-man with a sword would jump out and order them to drop their arms. All in all, the two Brits rounded up forty-two prisoners that night.
In 1944 Jack?s luck and tenacity took a slip when he was ordered into an impossible situation. Most of his squad was killed, and Jack was taken captive. After being hauled to Berlin for questioning, he was sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where he was meant to stay until war?s end. He might have done so, but one night the power went out, and Jack was prepared: he had a rusty can and some onions. It was all that he needed. In the darkness he just walked away and made his escape.

If you thought that was BS you should see Cpt Miller in Saving Private Ryan blow up a tank with his Colt 45. Totally ruined the movie for me.

First, it's the movies!
Second, most folks point and shoot without taking the time to aim.
Third, within say 25 feet, a pistol is much more accurate when pointing and shooting.

In paintball I switched to running with just a pistol, I lose range and fire power but gain speed and mobility. A nice bonus is some people freak out when they see you running at them with just a pistol because they think you are either crazy or some badass and they get shaken up and are easy to over take or fail back to their team giving you that much more ground.
