I'd consider my previous arguments over the firecap and akimbo pistol glitch to be more of a factor than the varying range and swap speeds. All pistols swap at an at least fast pace, if not lightning fast, and due to the smaller maps in MW3, and due to each pistol having varied range niches over the other, it becomes more of a decision via preference.

The firecap and akimbo pistol glitch almost define the two. The P99's firecap is extremely high, making it extremely potent in the hands of a player who's fast on the trigger, and the USP .45's akimbo pisto glitch gives you half of a tactical knife for free by using Akimbo, basically.
