I once saw a guy rolling on the floor with a pistol in each hand making head shots on a moving target so I know it can be done.
I practice firing on the move more as a method to keep an attacker pinned down than with any thoughts of actually making hits. Firing at a stationary target while moving quickly towards cover I doubt that I get 5% hits at 25 yards, again, that's not my intention so I don't record that figure. I am not talking about a tactical move but a "haul butt to another spot move".
I practice prone shooting only at static targets and I myself remain static. Not optimal but it's what I do. I practice in my front yard so I can do whatever I want.
I hope I never have to face down ANY attacker much less one in body armor. Let's face it, most of us, even the ones that train extensively, aren't really preparing to face down multiple armed terrorists with body armor, high explosives, and AK's. We are preparing to take on 1-2 thugs that are trying to rob the store we are in, have broken into our home, or attack us in a parking lot. We train that way because those scenarios are 1000% more likely than having to deal with terrorists.
If I ever find myself in this situation I hope my training kicks in and I don't pee my pants. I imagine that I will, out of force of habit, take COM shots. Thinking about this type of situation makes you realize that a 15 round 9mm will be small comfort compared to using it against two knife wielding burglars.
