Well I found the video from Youtube ...
I fail to see how the video is in any way relevant to the question posed.

Have you ever tried it while your target 100 yards away is shooting at you with a rifle? Makes it surprisingly more difficult. I had a rifle when I tried it and it was extremely difficult even with that.
I'm not a real bad shot with a 1911, about 50% on an 8" diameter gong at 100 yards. But you're talking about competing against someone with a rifle. My experience has been that rifle fire even by untrained shooters at 100 yards is IMMENSELY more accurate and intense than pistol fire, so I would rate it as more than EXTREMELY difficult with a pistol.
Everyone in combat wants a rifle over a pistol, funny how that works.

In any case, all the anecdotal evidence on the planet will not change the fact that a rifle beats handgun 9 times out of 10.
