One of my heros Col. Cooper created the El Presidente drill to test gun handling skills.
It required 6 rounds in the gun, 2 shots in a target on the left, 2 shots on a center target, and 2 shots on a target on the right.
RELOAD and REPEAT.
It occurs to me, as modern defensive weapon trainers (who admittedly owe a lot to Col. Cooper) decry the "El Pres" that this drill was not intended to be really defensive... its a last ditch drill.
It's Jim Bowie or Davie Crockett at the Alamo, putting as many shots on targets as they come up. It doesn't train to defend a person as much as to make a last stand.
I know its not the best way to train for an actual criminal assault.... But there are worse things to prepare for...
