So the aim issue isn’t that a pistol is more accurate. It’s phenomenon known as “sight parallax”. Because the sights on a rifle are usually a couple inches above the barrel the sight picture changes depending on distance.
A rifle sighted at 100 yards will also be accurate at 50 and 25. But at 10 yards the parallax means the round
will impact 1-2” lower than where you aim. It’s something law enforcement and military personnel train for
By definition a handgun is a defense weapon. A rifle is an offense weapon.
