2-no reloads were used
3- most,if not all incidents used 2-3 shots
4-and took less than 5 seconds
My experience is three tours in 'Nam and 40 years as an LEO.

What? You are saying that out of 6,000 shootings they all occurred at less than 21 feet? I googled SOP 9 and all those statistics involve LEO shootings. It is a completely different scenario when almost all CCW holders don't open carry.
Yes; all training is good but saying the drill the OP posted is just target shooting? I fear having to shoot an intruder at 3 yards in the low lite hallway of my home, before bounding thru obstacles with my everyday carry gun like I am in Iraq. You are not the only one who has deployed, thus I am sure you appreciate the tactical advantage of carrying concealed.
