My old sergeant used to say that the basic rule of thumb for shooting a .45 is that it's about as accurate as a thrown baseball for about the same effective range. If you can't reliably hit a person at home plate with a baseball from, say, 2nd base, then you are likely just wasting your ammo to try it with a pistol round.

I imagine the 9mm is the same.
