Anyone with training is going to drill you before you get closer than 7 meters.
I routinely train with a full sized pistol to triple that and can hit a paper plate every time - even in rapid fire. With my carry gun (a tiny little thing) to 7 meters.
The odds of someone disarming me are pretty slim.
Like I said, they weren’t particularly skilled. One went for a pistol in his waistband while standing next to me at a bar, the other one (whose arm I broke) had his gun almost touching my face. These weren’t professional types, they were the sort of buffoons who expect that the mere sight of a gun is a guarantee of getting people to back down.
But I don’t disagree with your assessment - if I hadn’t been within grappling distance, I likely would have employed different defensive techniques (i.e., run like a rabbit).

We used to practice with 22s - trying to hit dragonflies. One in 30 is pretty good. These days the bugs are in decline - so it' s no longer done...
I have also shot skeet with a 22 semi auto rifle on board a Coast Guard ship. It's common using shotguns. The executive officer was impressed that I got a few with a .22 rifle.. Of course after I got a couple - everybody else had to give it a try... Fortunately I had a full brick of ammo. ( 550 rounds).
