Ok, I stand corrected.
I just have a little experience with pistols, and from what I know, most people will not hit their intended target under stress. I would consider a hijack situation very stressful. Granted, we are talking about very close-quarters engagements, so the probability of a first-round hit should be higher than in an average street situation.
I just don't relish the idea of comparitively poorly trained people carrying pistols in airplanes. Given close proximity between aggressor and defender, I think the logical choice would be a .45 ACP. Perhaps there are frangible bullets that could address my concern of overpenetration that would still satisfy other people's demands for protection via a real handgun. Didn't there used to be a "Safety Slug", made by Glaser, or somebody like that?
Certainly some of the pilots would seek to enhance their skills regarding handguns. I'm not trying to imply that all pilots would be ham-handed pistoleros with difficulty hitting a barn if they were standing inside it. I'm just a schmoe with some concerns.
