Wrong! I remember seeing Frank Cannon out gun many snipers at long range with his snub-nosed 38 revolver.
unfortunately, most do not have his skill with said pistol...
If the bad guy has a knife, I'll take the pistol.
If we're in an outdoor area, if it's open, I'll take the rifle, if it's wooded, it depends on the skill of the opponent.
Both have good use, and it depends on the situation which one is preferred.
Sure.
But could he roll and come up firing like Mannix?

His karate was amazing too!
I love the TV and movie scenes where the hero takes a handgun and overcomes a half dozen assassins using full auto rifles. They can’t hit him with twenty rounds from a rifle but he knocks them off with one round from a handgun. It’s almost as much fun as the ones where the 110 pound model beats up a half dozen 200 pound martial artists.
