Agree. I was required to be 'familiar' with a 9mm pistol, rather than 'proficient', my first shot was from waist height to a target 20 metres away. I bloody near shot my foot off.
Even with 'familiarity' and standing, aiming, and holding it with both hands, it was had to hit the target figure with what would be a 'deadly' shot.
Feel sorry for the female cop in Hornsby a few weeks ago who manged to slow the offender, but wounded innocent bystanders.
