Yes that is true. If you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon you need to carry a gun that is easy to conceal and easy to carry. Rather than those tiny .38s that new little German 9mm would probably be good.
But for full sized guns I like .40 or .45. Now I like the .357 Magnum revolver but shoot one at night in the dark and see how well you can see after the muzzle flash. You can load it with .38 Special rounds which basically is like a 9mm handgun.
I would not want to shoot anybody except in self defense of myself or someone else or in time of war. But I was always trained two center mass. If somebody is apparently using body armor than another in the face.
A gun like a 9mm Glock is good for a civilian because hydroshock rounds are effective and 9mm ammunition is cheaper. A .38 Special revolver is good for a civilian. Easy to clean and easy to maintain and relatively cheap ammunition. But I can't see arming soldiers with 9mm handguns. Not that hanguns are normally primary weapons for soldiers anyway. Remember the military has to use full metal jacket.
