Should he have used an assault pistol?

Pistol v. AR, and the pistol wins in the hands of a "tenured traffic cop". I am more than a little interested in that cop's resume. Did he really learn to shoot under pressure at the local range, or does his past include special forces? I don't want him identified in public, since the thugs would go after his wife and kids, but it seems likely that his training was outside the police academy.
