Elements of marksmanship like breathing, trigger pull and pulse awareness are removed from the equation.

Good point and a must for open sight, long range pistol shooting also, hobby of mine.

I would add, if you can't make the shot in under 15 seconds, de-cock, put the pistol down, relax, get into the *zone* again.
I have found the arm muscles will start fighting each other after 15 seconds, for me anyway.

My buddies and I will throw shots at 200 and sometimes 300 yards for bragging rights at the range.
Scopes on pistols are frowned upon, so are Thompson Center Contender pistols, LOL.

I was on an Army Combat Pistol Handgun Team about 30 years ago with the 1911A1. We learned to shoot and I stayed in practice. We seldom held the piece up for more than 5 seconds, the exposure was 10 seconds max.
When I qualified for my CCW all 50 rounds were in the 10 ring. The center was blown out. People were impressed.
