Move on the draw, on the malfunction, and on the reload. Pass or fail: 15 seconds for a student, 12 for an instructor, and any hit outside the highest zone, a failure to move, or a slide racked without tapping the magazine fails it. Or score it Comstock: 50 possible, points over time times 20, 10 down a miss, with 100 the par, over 100 very good, and over 125 very high skill.
