Kicks like a mule!! Can’t hit the side of a barn!! If those were the case, why do so many people like it?

***The Army also took the remarkable step of specifying a semi-automatic instead of a revolver.***
That is until 1917 when the .45 ACP revolver was put in service. S&W and COLT made them.
After the war, they were sold as surplus and the .45 Auto-Rim cartridge was born.

After a 1911, shooting a 9mm feels like a cap gun to Me. I’d still rather not be Shot with either of them.

I’m a righty primarily, but shoot w/ both hands, and my camera hand is my right one. I taught myself to shoot ambidextrously, in case of taking a hit on my right hand/arm.

The original Superman was armed with a .45 government model or two. He was disarmed because the comic producers did not want to send the "wrong message".

“Kicks like a mule etc”
You need more practice. The last shoot I went to I hit 8 our of 10 head shots in 10 seconds at 25 yards. that time includes changing a mag out.
Sounds like you are scared to pull the trigger. Find a good balanced weapon and practice, practice, practice.

The German army had already replaced the 1883 German ordinance revolver with the semi-automatic Luger.
The Italian Navy had adopted the C96 Mauser broomhandle in 1899.

The original Superman was armed with a .45 government model or two. I recall reading this. Anyone able to find a source? I have not.

The Phantom, above, had a pair of 1911s, but I’ve never heard of Superman having anything like that.
