I understand some people (many I know) aren't into shooting. :mrgreen: I doubt my accuracy would be all that great if I hadn't spent a lot of time and ammo shooting pistols a few years back. I am still pretty sloppy with pistols, but 7 yards is pretty close.
A lot of people like to qualify with the guns they are going to carry. While Glocks and most quality plastic would be easy enough, I don't see a problem with people qualify with these itty biity .380s that are so popular, but these guns aren't going to do real well at 25 Yards. Defencive Shootings for a CHL should be a very rare thing at 25 Yards, and I can't think of any good reason to make people qualify at 25 yards..
I didn't intend to mean that I wanted to change the test. The test is fine. I meant to say that I think shooters should try to be good enough to pass that test at 25 yards with most guns. Unless they are carrying a derringer, they ought to be able to hit that great big piece of paper at 25 yards. I guess I need to take my Kel-tec P32 or my S&W J-frame and see how I do. :) I saw people at my CHL classes that would have trouble with full size guns past 7 yards. While that is adequate, it is not ideal.
