Untrue in the U.S., Daniel.

While 9mm is the round of choice in Europe, .45s are still very 
prevalent in the U.S., and I wouldn't go calling it obsolete around 
people shooting for a living.

(As for the trajectory, anyone but a target shooter who has to worry 
about that is using the wrong arm for the job! Pistols ain't designed to 
be used at much more than close engagement.)

Personally, my hands aren't big enough for a full–sized pistol, so I'd 
tend towards a mid–sized .40 like a Beretta 8040 or one of the SIGs. Of 
course, I haven't shot in years, and living in Canada isn't real 
conducive to picking it up again.
