Using a handgun in self-defense WILL involve neutralizing the attacker with one or two rounds at very close range; indeed, one will likely be in physical contact with his attacker.

Until it doesn't. Rare but other things do happen. Indianapolis mall? Yep, the good guy could have fled. Want to go over the rampages with two or more shooters and not close up. Rare but it does happen. Where I worked, the likely incident wasn't going to be one mugger dude close up but a crazy. Not a locale where muggers prowled for economic crime but would be targeted by a mass shooter.
Good article on the limited capacity guns: https://www.shootingillustrated.com...e-drawbacks-of-a-subcompact-single-stack-9mm/
Not going to change the mind of the super duper never miss with two shots guys who will only ever come across one mugger. Until the next time!
Oh, PS - A message from Joe Biden:
Join me in banning higher capacity guns and magazines. The knowledgeable gun user acknowledges they are not necessary because:

Thus, there is no need for anything beyond a derringer. I will if re-elected ban and confiscate all guns that can carry more than 6 shots. Gun owners, if responsible join me. Only the crazed killer will want more.
