So not to stir the pot but depending on which set of statistics you look at, we have accumulated a wealth of empirical evidence via body cams and video etc that indicates that 80 some odd percent of the defensive shooting in this Country occur at aprox seven yards.

About the reliability of them. I have one on a rifle and took it off to clean it up. Put it back on and went to the range. First round it came off and bounced off a couple rocks next to a creek.
