I was shooting at 100-yards in the 70s, My buddie was reloading,And still is,At that time we were shooting 6 days a week. When we would tell some one, They just looked and Ha HA. I used a 6"Colt,You guess with one, I couldnt do it now. Iam 72 and shake a lot,Now At 15 yards i have a hard time.Thanks for looking, Sorry for lone post.
I think the average gun fight is 7-10 yards maximum with some at arms length, 25 yards would be rare. FBI stats show an average of less than 3 rounds fired per incident. Of course we want to be prepared for any eventuality but common sense should prevail. I suppose if you really want to be prepared carry an machine pistol with a 50 round banana clip, wear body armor and pack a few grenades..... you just never know what can happen.
As a retiree I qualify each summer for my LEOSA certification. We start at 3 yards and move back to 25 yards shooting very fast (2 rounds in three seconds and so forth). At the 25 yard line we have 90 seconds to fire 18 rounds. Hope that helps.
