Easy to account for. Your typical police officer may only qualify with their service pistol once or twice a year depending on finances of the department. It doesn't matter how often I screwed up the budget, I still shoot more than twice a year. Civilians also typically carry less ammo than law enforcement, so shot placement is a higher priority.
