289-11X and 286-11X with a Browning Buckmark.
I shot this three times today with my usual carry Gen4 Glock 19 using FC M885 124gr ball. Gun wears orange/red Trijicon HD's, and has minus connector and a Gadget. I forgot to keep track of individual strings except for run #2...
Run#1 255-3x
Run#2 WHO 93-1X
SHO 82-1X
2H 94-5X
Total: 269-7X
Run#3 268-4X
Things I noticed:
I am right handed, and WHO @ 5 yards was less challenging than I recalled in the past, but I was still pushing shots to the right during each run, with some horizontal stringing out that way. SHO @ ten yards I was doing the opposite and stringing them horizontally, but mostly to the left. I think that the horizontal stringing is grip issues, along with finger placement on the trigger. The SHO portion of run #2 really cost me, as I shanked several shots into the 6 and 7 rings. Freestyle I tightened up my grip and wobble zone quite a bit, but I was still rushing shots, mostly because I was getting impatient, and I lost a few shots that should have been 10's or X's into the 9's.
This was a my first range trip in several months (life got in the way for a bit), and I have not been dryfiring or practicing at all. I can tell I'm rusty. Overall, not bad performance considering my lack of practice and having recently jacked up my right wrist/arm/shoulder. I also put about 75 rounds through my 442 with decent results, considering again my lack of practice. Working that DAO gun makes shooting the Glock feel like easy mode.
I should have shot each string on a new bull to make scoring each string easier. Shooting at a hanging paper target with no backer using RN FMJ ammo leaves a lot to be desired as far as bullet holes and grease marks for scoring. I usually shoot paper targets on cardboard backers, but the indoor range doesn't work that way.

Last week I re-acquired my early 2010 Gen 4 G17 from where it had been a safe queen for a few years. Put my KKM G17 barrel in it. With OEM barrel I'd seen it shoot 2" for 5 a few times. FWIW I also changed it's OEM minus connector to a Taran Tactical connector and the two feel indistinguishable and both weigh 5 lbs on my scale. (shrug)
This G17 has 11,500 rounds though my own logs, I think that's pretty close. Runs, ejects like a champ and interestingly it still has the original un-marked .40 weight RSA they were originally sold with. Retracting the slide is dramatically harder than current Gen 4 and Gen 5 9mm. I never bought the RSA weights being a major factor in the early Gen 4 teethings issues. But that's all water long over the dam.
WHO - 100-9X
SHO - 98-5X
Freestyle (which this time for the first time I remembered to shoot from 20 yards vs 25) - 98-?X
Total 296

Larry used the 20 yard line because you're doubling the distance at each stage. I've also seen him use 3/6/9 yards for very basic folks and five shots per stage. His drills aren't really chiseled in stone but are subject to variation depending on the class and his mood, I think!

Hadn’t planned on shooting this tonight but decided it would be a good way to work on tonight’s goal, shot calling.
Didn’t think to add up totals after each string. Also wish I had used three different targets. 30 rounds of 45 ACP was impossible to score accurately.

Observations
Shot too fast. Anticipated lots of trigger presses. I have put 450 rounds through this pistol including 140 tonight. I realized I don’t have a good idea of the POA/POI on this pistol yet.

Damn, lots of high performance scores up in here.
I thought this would go fairly smoothly, it did not.
Ran it 3 times in the last 2 days, here's my top score (others were 284/283 respectively)
There's one shot super close to the 9 ring...but the grease line touched the 10...dunno it is what it is.
Never been very good at SHO/WHO, but I've been practicing it recently so I thought this was an opportune time to run this and participate.
In general, I'm just not as accurate or controlled or strong as I would need to be to shoot higher scores I'm thinking.
That USPc V7 target result is bannanas, I'm more than humbled.
Edit: the "photo per string" will be up in my journal, for posterity.
