There's been a boom in buying of CCW guns, and plenty of those people go to the range a couple times and then never practice again - or are the people missing the paper at 6 feet, who we've all seen. Most of the people at my local range aren't even shooting at 25 yards, and they are doing well to hit a dinner plate at 10 yards with slow fire in good light.
All the people I know who regularly carry also regularly practice. I'm sure they're not all doing the Hogan's Alley, tactical shoot house thing (I've done a few of those). But they're doing more than most cops do for their annual range quals. I make it to the range about twice a month. As long as I can competently shoot all the guns I ever carry with me, I'm satisfied. I almost only shoot paper plates at between 7-10 yds. Anytime I can't make real tight groups within the first 50 rounds I put through a gun, that gun gets sold or traded.
