Fifty yards is a long distance for combat shooting. Ones I'm familiar with work from 7 to 25 yards.
Most pistol ranges max out at 25 yards. He's totally full of shit.
I've tried .45s at 50y and with enough hold over it's possible to group on a paper plate. Cop held over a bit much for center of mass, still good effect. He should get a Saint Gabriel Possenti medal.
Sounds like you haven't been to AZ, Texas, or a police range.
Or maybe you don't have intelligence enough to use logic to switch over to a rifle range if your local range doesn't have a 50 under the label "pistol range"
