I watched several videos about this test, it seemed so easy and everyone is either a master or a grandmaster. Well, it is not that easy. I shot in 21 second plus 2 second penalties. I shot an expert with a Glock 21. I will try to shoot it again with G17 to see if I can be a bit faster. Please post your results here.
