It is obviously possible to gain very high proficiency with the higher recoil rounds, but there are a lot of folks out there who think that slow and static fire means that they're good to go.
And perhaps "they" are; good to go.

I find that I can shoot faster and be more accurate with a full size .22lr pistol than just about any other.

Then again, I don't own any .40 S&W pistols any longer, prefer 10mm auto; I bought into both cartridges when they both came out, The .40 just didn't stick with me.

My focus in shooting is accuracy. I prefer to make little tight holes at greater distances; one of my favorite targets are dandelion stems, cutting the heads off. (Very seasonal target given where I live.) Does that mean that I am at a disadvantage If I ever need to use a weapon defensively? Just because I prefer a 10mm over a 9mm or a .40? Well, I hope to never find out.

And heaven forbid that I do have to find out, I believe that Mas Ayoob said something about that first well placed shot...

There are many ways to skin a cat.

YMMV
