OK, I went out and shot the test as described.

With a S&W Model 10 Bud's police trade in special, it was easy. Right out of the box with no warmup, the 20 shots were within a 6" circle, shooting DA. Each 5 took about 10 seconds. I believe I could shoot SA in the 15 seconds, and the groups would be a lot smaller.

Then I used my LCR, and with no warmup all 20 shots were within a 9" circle. So not as good, but I could qualify with it. I'm still learning on it.

I have had no training and don't shoot a lot. I'm a casual shooter, but have shot ~600 rounds this year. I don't know if I am surprised by your observations or not. If they are newbies, it's probably not surprising.
