I think it is a question of priorities.

If someone has the time and energy to become truly skilled at everything - reaction shooting at 6 feet in darkness from different positions as well as long-range precision shooting, two shot drills as well as many shots with rapid reloading, etc - then, great.

But suppose one isn't expecting to become such a pistolero. What is the one thing that he should spend his time training for?

The data says, that one thing is: to hit a moving vital zone at <10 feet, with a shot fired in 1 second with no preparation and no time for stance or careful aim, in the dark, from any position including potentially after being knocked to the ground.

Police officers appear to hit the enemy less that 1/3 of the time in that situation. I seriously doubt that the average CCW'er does better. (Wasn't there a Pelican who fired on an armed robber, at point blank range, while laying on the floor - IIRC he either missed or grazed the guy's finger.) Such a low hit rate in the most common situation suggests a lot of work to do, before moving on to hostage rescue shots from across a six-lane road while speed reloading in a hovering helicopter, and similar "movie" situations.
