Better question is, "How many practice marksmanship with the ammo they carry in their firearm?"
This was a bigger deal when we carried .357 mag ammo and practiced/Qual’d with 38 spl (and low powered 38 at that)

Today in 9mm, 40s&w and 45acp, we see “practice ammo” duplicating “carry ammo” almost exactly in like bullet weights. If you carry 147gn 9mm, practice with 147gn and for all practical purposes and distances the results are the same.

My 147gn reloads hit the same velocity (read that as recoil) and same POI as the Gold dot i carry. No need to take out a loan and shoot gold dots for training.
