1) Most police consider the gun to be "something" they are required to have on their belt. They do not consider fighting skills to be a priority. My neighbor carried a Colt Gold Cup that was known to malfunction for two years before I sold him my SIG P220. His ammo was so cruddy that the P220 even choked on it.

His shooting skills were terrible too and he had no desire to improve beyond what guns and gear he could purchase.

2) Shooting at non-moving targets will not moving yourself does not prepare you for fighting.

You can build a simple moving target. Mount two 1x2 holders on a platform made from four 2x4's with four independently moving wheels. Put an eye screw on each side. Get four stakes, two 60' ropes, two 1x2's cut to six feet long and staple an IDPA target to it. Someone runs the target left and right while someone shoots.

You will find your hit ratio drops significantly.
