It's what you have when the SHTF is what counts. And the nerve and balls to use it while standing your ground. You may be good at the range and paper targets, but if a guy with a machete makes you pee in your pants, .......pray. Any pistol in your person is what counts. A .45acp is great. A .40s&w is good. A 9mm is adequate. But at the moment of truth, your pocket .32 seecamp will save your hide.
