Unless they're both upgraded to at least .357 magnum or even .440, those modes are mostly for show. FWIW, I suspect that Gambol Shroud's pistol is probably optimised to propel the weapon in 'chain scythe' mode and isn't anticipated to be used offensively except as a last resort.

Or, it could be the type of ammunition he was using. We know very little about the Storm Flowers, so the type of ammunition fired from those kinds of guns might have more effect, such as specific colours or types of dust.
