I have tried many times but I don't think 19s is achievable. I completed a few runs where the timer last displayed 0:19 but where it was rounded up to 20s in the crew stats.

Now this run is flawless, and ties the best theoretical time on this map solo. Had to grind for at least 6 hours to get it.
I just CANNOT see how and where you could improve anything, this was nearly human TAS levels of execution. And even with few improvements everywhere the timer would probably get rounded up to 20s.
EDIT: 19s may actually be possible thanks to a closer respawn point I didnt know of that never occurred in my thousand tries. [Former WR] [U192] Payday 2 - No Mercy, Speedrun Solo DS/OD, 00:20 GT (OoB)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/slsZQtLzooc/mqdefault.jpg)

I did it! Sub-6:00 and even an actual perfect run!
Indeed I did no mistake so the only way to save time is going faster than some of my sloppy interactions, but we are talking about only tenths of a second improvements. So yeah, unless you have TAS reflexes, this run is probably not beatable. At least not by more than 2s.
Thats also most likely my last run of this heist, so your sub box is going to have time to rest. :P
Also, fun fact, I only got 4 kills: 3 cops near Santa at the beginning (I managed to miss one), and the civilian in the shoe store backroom.

Still a lot improvable with better RNG, the map has so much RNG in it though that you need nerves of steel. [Glitchless WR] [U128] Payday 2 - Scarface Mansion, Speedrun Solo Normal, 03:53 GT](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wnwvNVTb_WA/mqdefault.jpg)
