I would say 10% get it, but I'll let those that been through boot camp verify that....

As far as how to earn it... familiarity with a 9mm Beretta helps, but just paying attention and taking your time between shots is enough. Practice the holster drills so you can draw quickly, and have more time to place your shots.

How much do they train you? Enough one can earn expert? I'm more of a rifle marksman. I recently bought a 45c and I bought 150 rounds, shot about 50 so far, but I got a long way from being expert, which I really want to get

Is the final test on digital hardware? I heard those are inaccurate. Also, do you have a second chance at Expert if you fail the first round?

I know of one person that got expert and had never touched a pistol. Quote:
It would depend on the malfunction I guess... most of the instructors will just let you fire an extra round during the next stage to make it up.

Yes, you'll have a chance to retake your pistol qual once you get out of bootcamp. You can also take your rifle qual as well.

You can take and retake the pistol and rifle qual as many times as you want once you're OUT of bootcamp (but you have to pay a range fee and for ammunition and such for each time). In bootcamp you get one shot at pistol (and a second try if you didn't qualify for a ribbon at all, but only 2).
