I have never understood any differentiation between speed and accuracy in the context of handguns. The desired application dictates the accuracy requirement, and then speed is only a challenge to quickly deliver such degree of accuracy.
Colloquialisms only sustain momentum when they bear sufficient relevance to be revived in context frequently enough to endure. Such: we hear things like, “speed is fine, but accuracy is final,” or “slow is smooth, smooth is fast,” “only accurate [firearms] are interesting,” “you can’t miss fast enough,” etc.
I also have never understood how anyone can, or why anyone would defend any practice schedule (or lack thereof) which does not effectively address both slow fire and rapid fire skills. Too often, folks act like practice is an unnecessary burden.
