Texas License To Carry (LTC).
We must each decide what risks we are willing to manage and which benefits matter most to us. There is no one right answer that fits all of us in all situations. I do not pass judgement on how, what, or why others carry or shoot, unless I am responsible for them.
For myself, I prefer to carry the same handguns, in the same way, all of the time. I own firearms for self defense. Works for me. My father owns firearms because buying, collecting, and owning them works for him.
After two years of dedicated effort, training, and practice, I have reached something close to 50% USPSA Grand Master competency. See Strategies and Standards for Defensive Handgun Training, Karl Rehn and John Daub.

On demand, cold, I draw to first shot in sub 1.4 seconds, hitting an 8.5 x 11 inch target at 5 yards. Draw and 5 shots in 3 seconds, 3 times in a row. From a Safariland 7TS ALS retention holster with Guard (Safariland Level II). I know what it took for me to get here. I don't have the time, money, desire, or need to reach the same level with another handgun. I don't expect to ever be as proficient with my backup gun as I am with my primary gun.
As has been said, skill using one handgun often translates to skill in using a different handgun. Grip, sights, trigger. Same mantra for all. Two examples. After a USPSA match, having time to shoot on my own using my backup Ruger LCR .38, I was able to hit the steel targets (5 to 15 yards) that I had been hitting with my 5inch M&P. In different, informal match, I was required to use a 9mm 1911 that I had never shot to get hits on silhouette-size steel at 20 yards; 8 rounds, reload, 2 rounds, as quickly as possible. 15 seconds.
As a result of the order in which I bought the four pistols we own, I am reasonably proficient with, from least to greatest:
DAO revover
DA/SA 4.25 inch autoloader
3 inch, single stack, striker fired, autoloader
5 inch, double stack, striker fired, autoloader
Works for me. Maybe, some of what works for me will strike a chord with you. That's OK. If not, that's OK, too.
Be safe and carry.
