This should get us to a set of rules...

This to a target....

And if this doesn't work, we can get nickambrose to post them!
In any case, I see the comp being like this: very simple, just like me:
PRACTICE 1: Load 6 (or 8) rounds, gun held lowered, GO! you have 2 minutes total elapsed time to raise pistol, fire all rounds, reload, raise, fire all rounds.
12 rounds fired (or 16)
PRACTICE 2: Load 6 (or 8) rounds, gun at lowered position, GO! You have 2 seconds to raise pistol, acquire target, fire! Lower gun, count to 5, GO! Repeat sequence till all rounds are fired.
"Clock" stops. Reload, repeat as in previous paragraph.
12 rounds fired (or 16)
PRACTICE 3: "Double taps". Load 6 (or 8) rounds, lower gun, GO! You have 2 seconds to raise pistol, acquire target, and fire TWO rounds! Lower gun, count to 5, GO! Repeat till all rounds are fired.
6 rounds fired (or 8).
Course of fire is thus 30 rounds (or 40: whichever we decide).
We would use a fresh target for each string, or each practice (3 or 5 needed: leave it up to each shooter).
Honor system, each shooter "counts" his time. No turning equipment, assistant, or stopwatch needed.
6 yards should be a sufficient distance: it's a realistic police shooting distance, much contrary to the drivel you see on TV cop shows.
