A greater barrel length results in a greater muzzle velocity; so a high caliber pistol cartridge could be used as a light sniper rifle.

Alternatively, if you use the right configuration you can fire MICH higher caliber cartridges out of a handgun.

After all, they do sell handguns based on rifle platforms that fire rifle calibers; like .223 NATO and .308 Winchester (the latter of which is indeed used as a light sniper cartridge)
