It is in my opinion David. The nominal velocity increase (Approx. 25 to 40fps depending on load) due to better powder burn is beneficial to the short barrel pistols. There are a few specialty loads that use faster burning powders made specifically to enhance performance in short barreled firearms. It is not a huge difference but a difference non the less. (Depending on the twist, that extra half inch could make a difference in bullet stabilization as well).

They're about the same firearm David.

I would doubt there would be any noticeable difference in performance
