Sure, there are incidents like the woman last summer who shot dead
the guy attacking her husband using her one day old pistol, but we'd
have to call that a fortuitous fluke. Start with that same woman
asleep at 2am and the outcome is less clear.  Your odds, with years
of experience, practice and 'muscle memory' are much better.

Not really, for me anyway.
 
The past several years, I shoot targets weekly with a pistol I made and
find it a challenging and relaxing pause in my week.

Target practice can be fun, I agree. But I think it has little relevance
to a 2 AM home invasion.

What a gun fearing wussy like Krygowski know about target practice?

Two courses of fire from the Police Match competition hand book.
Stage 1: 3 yards, double action - 6 shots one
hand standing without support, 8
seconds.
Stage 2: 7 yards, double action - 12 shots, one
or two hands standing without support
position. Twenty seconds, includes
reloading for second 6 shot string.

Perhaps relevant to home shooting?
