Yes, a pistol is accurate for a short while, but try to hit something from a little further away. Seriously, the cops are pretty close to the criminals when they're shooting at them. Every weapon is accurate when the target is right in front of you. Plus the cops win because their trained for that sort of thing. A pistol compared to any rifle, even a .22, is very inaccurate. Cops don't shoot their pistols when the target has gotten further than fifty or 75 yards or so, if not less. A pistol won't hit its target from that far consistantly.
