A rifle is more stable than a handgun due to it's size.  You have
several points of contact on the body.  With a handgun you require more
training to properly aim and stabilize it since it's all in how you grip it
plus muscle memory insuring your sights line up consistently when you aim. 
Having a longer sight radius on a rifle or SBR also increases accuracy and
effective range.

..45 acp has it's charms, however recoil from pocket pistols isn't one of
them.  9mm has earned it's popularity due to the fact you can put more shots
on target faster with 9 than a .45.  .223 in a rifle/ sbr platform is
practical over a longer range due to it's high velocity, yet skews and loses
energy quickly when hitting a wall.  It's safer to fire indoors than most
handgun rounds and shotgun slugs.

With all said and done, shot placement is the most important factor.  Hitting
a vital zone the size of a grapefruit consistently under stress requires a
bit of practice and being familair with what you are shooting.
