Why is it...

Half the time most shooters grab some striker-fired 9mm and pretend to be Jack Reacher or James Bond. More often than not, they couldn't hit a bull in the rump with a banjo.

Too old, soon. Too late, smart.

Maturity. Don’t let the few bad apples wreck it for them all. Remember our generation(s) had them too. I went through the “stupid” stage of life but kept my nose clean. Now I’m older and wised up some (still go through the “retarded” stages).

Just remember we ain’t young anymore.

Today's younger shooters seem to equate short barreled 9mm pistols with controllable, concealable pistols when the reverse is really the case?

With the proper grip, they are controllable and concealable. Just because you can't doesn't mean no one can.

I regularly shoot a Taurus GX4 with a 3.1" barrel in IDPA Matches and score with the guys shooting full size guns.
 
Couldn't the same argument be advanced in regard to snub revolvers? Certainly easier to conceal, not so much to shoot.

If someone is willing to learn to shoot a small gun, it can be controlled and shot accurately. If your argument is that a small gun isn't a good first gun, that's a different matter.
 
What a lot of people that gravitate toward the micro hincap 9mm is they are in fact in the same category as a snub revolver. (Other then people are married to capacity) they are all a little harder to shoot them full size brothers but easier to conceal.

While some practice to get a better level of proficiency they were not made to have a John Wick shootout they are better suited for normal earth people to go to and from a grocery store “just in case” or a backup for LE under a vest or behind the mag pouch!

But the mag capacity and go fast split times fairy rules these days
 
a long time ago I read something like most defensive shootings are 3 shots, 3 seconds, 3 yards. I carry a SW 380 PC that I shoot well under stress and conceals very well. most younger people watch these folks on line with their 2K11's blazing away.....Ever notice that they rarely show if they are actually hitting anything???
 
After Dirty Harry came out, the S&W Model 29 6 1/2" barrel .44 Magnum was she s**t. My buds and I couldn't afford a S&W, so we bought cheaper SA .44 magnums. They were fun for macho shooting, sore hands, and reciting Dirty Harry lines. Yes, youth was fun. Now I like whatever fits in my pocket.
