That would be why they are useful. Plus it's not like your aim being thrown off after the first shot because you haven't positioned your pistol to push you straight back is really relevant to a duel. If you are engaging in a pistol duel with multiple shots it reduces accuracy sure... but that's not necessarily bad.

So don't use uzis at ten paces without any defences. That would be
not using appropriate weapons and restrictions.
As to whether tech improvements have fueled nebulous maturation of civilizations that has reduced societal acceptance of duelling I'm skeptical. If necessary simply assume that the civilization in question has dematured while getting cooler toys.
