GURPS Fourth Edition Tactical Shooting takes the view that while the first point in Guns skill can come quickly in the right training regime (one which focuses on skills useful in a firefight, not range shooting) skill 12+ is not characteristic of soldiers fresh out of infantry training but of experienced soldiers, serious hunters and target shooters, etc. I tend to follow their take on what is realistic about modern firearms and firearms training, because their credentials are excellent and when they cite a source it always says what they say it says.

In the real world a significant number of people who wear a handgun and completed a training course still have a default or at best a Dabbler perk in Guns (Pistol).
