Where the Glock trigger really falls apart (for me at least,) is on distant or low-percentage targets under time pressure. It is very difficult to work a Glock trigger fast, without inducing some sight movement.
On close, wide-open targets, I just slap the trigger like it owes me drug money. Yeah, I get some sight movement, but not enough to move me out of the A zone.

Just prior to my surgery I was right at 2.5 on Bill Drills with my P2000SK from a leather AIWB concealed.
Draw around 1.25, splits around .21-.23
With my P2000 from a faster holster (still AIWB concealed) I'm closer to 2.25

Since this is my drill I thought I'd chime in.............
What it is? Leroy has it basically right on pg 3, but I'd like to add to his description.
History of the Bill drill:
Back in the dark ages when I was a serious IPSC competitor (once on the gold team and twice on the silver team) Robbie and Brian shot WC pistols and we all got together quite a bit for serious practice sessions. On one of these sessions I suggested a drill to work on front sight tracking during recoil and Robbie being the "funny man" he usually is coined the term "Bill Drill" and it has obviously stuck. Keep in mind this was the early 80s and we were all top level IPSC competitors shooting state of the art race guns/gear for the day. At the time we were all shooting .38 super comp guns out of Safariland holsters (we were all on team Safariland).
What it is:
1 IPSC Item target 7yds downrange
Start position: Facing target, surrender hand position
Drill: Draw and fire 6 shots
Object: All "A" hits in under 2 seconds, if you get a shot out of the A zone the run doesn't count
Remember this was top shooters using race gear. I personally can't do a sub 2 second run with a real carry gun from a honest carry holster, more like 2.6 sec would be the norm.
OK so much for the history lesson
We've been doing a new Bill Drill these days, I call it the Bill Drill II
Gear: Honest carry gun and holster shooting standard power ammo for the caliber
Target: IDPA, 8" 5 zone
Scoring: Standard IDPA Limited Vickers, - .5 seconds per point down
Round count: 15
Start position: Facing target, hands naturally at your sides
Drill:
String 1 - Draw and fire 1 shot
String 2 - Draw and fire 2 shots
String 3 - Draw and fire 3 shots
String 4 - Draw and fire 4 shots
String 4 - Draw and fire 5 shots
On a decent day I normally shoot sub 10 seconds from the holster and sub 8 seconds from a ready position. I've got a screwed up right shoulder and doing lots of draws tends to cause me to pay for it later, so I do a lot of shooting from the ready. It's not like I'm going to forget how to draw the gun if I don't do a lot of draws after 40 years of pistol shooting!!!
I've done considerably better than 10sec/8sec on really good days after a warm-up and shooting a full size PX4 (easiest gun for me do do multiple shots with). On the other hand, obviously after a 2 week layoff with no warm-up I can't even do a 10 sec run right off the bat, but 10sec/8sec are my personal benchmarks.
Bill, I'd love to post this to my Drills section on pistol-training.com, any objection?
No problem
