The time gap at that distance used to be much wider with Gen4 guns. At 25 yards with the 19, my times were around 4.0 to 4.3 seconds (or so). (Targets were QIT with the 8 inch circle). That is drawing and firing a pair on two targets. IIRC without looking at my notes, my strings at 25 yards with the 17 averaged between 3.80 or so to 4.10 seconds or so. As a matter of fact, I never understood the obsession with having the finger grooves removed. I can get my hands so much higher on the new 19, where I never thought the older finger groove guns were that bad.
One particular reason I think it narrowed is the lack of finger grooves. The gap that I have previously not liked between the 17 and 19 has narrowed.
Pretty standard police type qual with the last phases shot on a single target. And finally, draw and fire 3 from retention at the 3 yard line. 5 yard line, draw fire two strong hand only, transition to the weak side and fire two. 7 yard line, draw fire two, emergency reload, fire two, emergency reload, fire two. 7 yard line, draw and fire two on each target. 15 yard line, draw and fire two on each target. From the 25 yard line, draw and fire two on each target. Course of fire was 25 rounds and had two targets. We set up a course of fire that we were both familiar with and took turns shooting it with each pistol. So, I have always opted for a 17 or 34 for my Glock needs. I have never been able to shoot the 19 at the same speeds as I can a 17 or a 34. Now the disclaimer- While many people hail the G19 as the best combat/concealed handgun ever made, I have never been a fan. A couple of Saturdays ago, a coworker and I went to the range with a couple cases of various ammo and a Gen5 17 and 19.
