On an ar-15, what split time (while maintaining accuracy) would you consider "mastery" of the ar-15. for instance I consider running 1/4 second splits on pistol to be mastery of pistol speed.

Split times don’t mean sh*t in the real world soooooo.

This is as good a place as any to start if looking for drills to use as benchmarks for skill progression:

Depends on the size and range of the target. In the day shooting IPSC I could run the el presidente in mid 3s only dropping 2-3 out of the A zone with the open pistol. Move the box back 10 more yards and I was lucky to do it in the mid 5s. Aiming takes a little time!
Anybody can be a split time master if the target is big and close enough. Gonna need to be more specific there.
I meant mastery of running splits/speed, not weapon manipulation or accuracy, but lets say 5 yards inside a 5" circle
If you spend your days shooting at paper split times matter more than when you’re shooting at people.
If I’m shooting at paper, I like to work toward solid accurate 1/4 second splits.
Shooting at bad guys I like 1/2 second split times.
The mind takes about 1/4 second to process information and react. Therefore 1/4 splits are too fast to process information in a defense situation.
It’s a lot easier to start shooting than it is to stop shooting.

No split time shows mastery.
A decent shooter can get below .2 with rifle or pistol, just from a trigger manipulation standpoint.
Op may be getting into competition, so splits may matter.
