In Law enforcement pistols are used because they are lighter and smaller, as well as being less lethal and less likely to kill civilians caught in crossfire.

In military, Pistols are issued to soldiers as backup weapons, rifles and submachine guns can jam, run dry in a critical moment, or be dropped. Having an easy to grab easy to fire lightweight pistol by their side can save a soldiers life.
