bigyikes says >"It really blew my mind that I could aim directly at a human-sized target only 6 feet away and totally miss."< No surprise. Even after years of training many, if not most, police officers miss close-up shots more often than they hit. There's a surveillance video somewhere of a security guard and a perp shooting their firearms at each other from about 3 feet apart: they miss every shot. One had a revolver and the other a semi-automatic. It is somewhat reminiscent of the "apartment scene" in Pulp Fiction but even wilder and less believable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6YBKdmOlM8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6YBKdmOlM8 Shooting a target at a range is very different from drawing and shooting at real people who are moving toward/away from you, possibly with ill intent and possibly armed. For police, entering a building with a search warrant is not something to be done with a firearm holstered. You have no idea what you're up against in that situation.
