The OP asked what an "expert time" was for the drill. Folks answered. I'm not seeing the issue.
\Assuming facts. Does the slide rise 10 degrees more or 1 degree more? Regardless of how far it travels is the time to recovery still essentially the same for a skilled shooter? There's a reason why a fast moving slide, even though it may flip more, is preferable to a slow moving slide.My only point was, and is: split times will necessarily increase for higher recoil. I don't see how there can be any argument over that. Will it not be more difficult, all else equal, to track a sight that rises an extra 10 degrees? Or rolls back an extra 0.5 inches during recoil? Isn't that the whole point behind lightened slides?
