Yep, this is a good reason that you shouldn't get very small guns a lot of the time. As a general rule, your handgun should be as big as you can comfortably use. If you need to conceal it (which is the correct way to carry unless you have a very good reason for open carrying) then the size of the gun will be limited by the size of your body, as well as the climate (thick layers are better at concealing obviously). Then a secondary concern is the size of your hands. If you've got small hands, some guns are too big to comfortably reach the controls. But yeah, with those limiting factors in mind, get the biggest one you can work with because they're easier to use.

Also, if concealed carry isn't part of your plan for a gun (like, if you want it for home defense or equivalent only) you want a rifle or a shotgun, fuck handguns. The only benefit of a handgun is that they're convenient to carry around. If you're going to be picking it up off a shelf or out of a closet, that's not a factor.

Don't be discouraged if you suck with handguns. They're the hardest guns to use. It's a mistake to recommend all beginners start there imo.
