I would hazard a guess that a personal carry firearm is only as useful as the ability to access and draw it quickly in a situation. Most situations are up close and personal. It takes a second to realize you are under threat and might have to do harm against another human. A lot of distance can be covered in that time either way. The first to draw always has the advantage. No matter the caliper. And smaller calipers have smaller kickback.
If it's anything more than that, taking cover or fleeing should be considered foremost.
Perps usually flee when the first two go down.
(er. I don't ever see myself shooting through windshields in a highway shootout and probably wouldn't make it.)
