Here in Sacramento County, Kalifornia, every year we have to qualify on a range with each gun on the CCW.
Then at the 3rd year, we have to take a class (4 hours or so) and range shoot each one. The last 3 yr one I did had strong hand, weak hand, moving (advancing and retreating)targets, hip shoot, 15 yd. AND...
7 yd. A toughie. Took 80% to qualify. Easy to ace the Glock 30 and the HiPower but the Chief spl. dropped a few points.
Course several years of competitive pistol kinda made me a ringer. But I still think it was too rigorous for average person. Especially when the snubby had to shoot the same course and I would not use it at those distances and "from the hip" is almost too odd to make a decision on. But it is what we had to do.
