Why in the world would he be doing self defense drills at 75 feet? It

That is just target shooting at that point. I know hunters who train
at those kind of distances and even out to 50 or 75 yards. It will be
a large bore pistol tho.
The military typically shoots at 25 yards (I assume meters these days)

All of my .45 shooting (familiarization, not qualification) was done at about 7
yards. I can't imagine trying to hit a target at 25 yards with those old military
.45's. Well, maybe if the target was a tank.

Ban idiots, not guns!

True, but I have a custom built one that has a match grade barrel and an adjustable trigger. It's very accurate. It just wouldn't last long out in the field, as a few grains of sand would probably lock it up. It's built very tight, unlike the military versions that are built loose for a reason.
