My opinion is that the shooter can adapt to the gun better than he can find the perfect one for him. Practicing with a gun that may not be the easiest to use will make you better with it than with an easier one and less practice. I'm of the opinion that 9mm is a little underpowered for general defensive use. Sure, it's easier to use, but it doesn't fit the job, so I'll be getting a .45 and using it till I'm good at it. My opinion is that the army made a big boo-boo when switching from the 1911 .45 to the Beretta 9mm.
Not to drag out that debate, just to say your favorite gun might not be the best, but if you get handy with it, you'll get the job done better than with the wrong rifle.
Another example is that I'm not extremely fond of the AK-47. I don't particularly like how it feels. But I shoot one whenever I get the chance, I've stripped them and studied them, and I'll be able to use them if I have to.
So also, train with a variety of guns, that way you'll learn the skill of adaptation.
