While I am not familiar with the Marine pistol qual I can tell you the Army one is a piss poor test to see if someone can actually use a pistol in an actual combat situation. It’s why we don’t even bother qualifying with a pistol. It’s simply a waste of time.
It's just like the rifle on the range. It's administrative and mostly about establishing confidence. But aside from the "qual" aspect of the weapon for score there is the Combat Pistol Program in garrison and while deployed forward....
