Civilian encounters are likely very similar.
At a distance of 10 feet on a human size target I would not blame the gun for being inaccurate. Practice more and I'm sure that gun will get more accurate.
Finding a gun you can comfortably carry and shoot well can be a challenge. But it is doable. In winter clothing I carry a Sig P229 legion, in summer clothing a Sig P365 XL. The regular size P365 was a little too small for me. Sig just came out with 17 round mags for all versions of the P365 (9mm). The extended mags do make it harder to conceal though.
I doubt I'll be carrying much in TV.

If it is 3 rounds, 3 seconds, and 3 ft - then you only need 3 rounds, so why have an extender magazine?
