Go three times a week instead and do 30 minutes on specific muscle groups using free weights and 30 minutes cardio to finish up.

It could look something like this:

Day 1: Chest / Shoulders & Triceps - Cardio

Day 2: Rest

Day 3: Legs / Abs - Cardio

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Back / Biceps - Cardio

Day 6: Rest

Day 7: Go to church.

I can hold onto the firearm well enough (Glock 22, 155 gr. Federal Hydroshoks), and hit the target at usual civilian training distances of 15 yards or less - but the shots lack the precision I would like. I'm also unhappy with my speed and effectiveness when I try to do a double-tap.

Bring the distance back down to 7 yards until your accuracy improves. Stop doing "double-taps" and start doing "controlled pairs." The difference is that you don't pull the trigger on the second shot until you have a sight picture. Be precise and be smooth. Don't start doing controlled pairs until your single shots are hitting exactly where you want them to hit. Perfect your stance, grip, breathing, trigger manipulation (taking off slack), sight alignment, smooth trigger squeeze and follow-through.
