Facts matter...Feelings Can Lie
Just speculation, but I think it two things -- the dot saving some time in avoiding a visual focus shift and my ability to use dot movement to help me be more aggressive with the trigger, while still making the hit.
In any event, the timer doesn't lie, and this spring, I got my warmed up draw with a slide mounted dot to an A zone hit at 7 yards, into the .60's, with .70's when I was off slightly. Consistently faster than with iron sights.

Perhaps it is worth noting that the last time you had some sort of comparison between an RMR and a DPP, the results were so drastically different that I wouldn't generalize "faster" to "dot". "BIG screen dot" seems more accurate.

That is an excellent point. Same pistols with RMR and DP Pro, in a USPSA setting, the DP Pro significantly ouperformed the RMR. I attribute this to the difference in display size and clarity.
And to be clear, my point about being faster than irons with the dot was with the DP Pro.

Nope, it was a internal restricted study for an LE agency, although I believe someone mentioned that a redacted executive summary was posted somewhere on the internet--maybe over at P&S.

Karl is a vetted SME. I believe he picked the 15 yard point because a fair amount of his study was on people who hadn't shot much at all and didn't have any preconceived notions. 15 yards tends to be the 'break even' on accuracy for a lot of folks. 25 has always been the standard, but 15 is the attainable standard for most shooters.
So I just read the article three times and I want to confirm that I understood the methodology: 10 dry fire familiarization shots and then testing a single hit percentage at 5 and 10, one handed and/or two handed, from ready and with a 1.5 second par?
Bravo for the observation! Now watch him to gently steer the discussion to a PCC list.
Ooops, I just did.
