There is no handgun made that can cause explosive decompression of a commercial airliner. Even if one were to empty the magazine through the fuselage, he wouldn't cause explosive decompression.
A few y You are wrong about this. ears ago a plane flying to Hawaii lost 20% of its fuselage and flew 700 miles, landing safely. The only people sucked out were the people right by the whole. Nobody died from lack of oxygen or got sucked out of windows. That doesn't happen. It is movie nonsense that the anti-civil rights extremists spread as fact.
Here is the plane you are referring to in Hawaii:
