Recent chrono data based on at least 5 shots:
Glock 19c:
Golden Saber 124 gr. +P @ 1,126 fps / 349# KE / PF 140*
Ranger T 127 gr. +P+ @ 1,181 fps / 393# KE / PF 150*
*PF not comparable due to porting, noticeable effect on muzzle rise.
PF= Power Factor, a calculation that can be used to compare recoil out of similar pistols, like the Glock 19, 23, 32.
Glock 19:
Golden Saber 124 gr. +P @ 1,152 fps / 365# KE / PF 143

Glock 32:

Federal Hydra-Shok 180 gr. @ 969 fps / 375# KE / PF 174
Remington Golden Saber 165 gr. @ 1,048 fps / 402# KE / PF 173
Winchester Ranger T 165 @ 1,146 fps / 481# KE / PF 189
My average 2nd shot follow up time, based on both 1st and 2nd shot hitting inside a 6 inch circle at 6 - 7 yards (pictured):
Glock 19C: .18 sec (Golden Saber 124 +P)
Glock 19: .28 sec (Golden saber 124 +p)
Glock 32: .28 sec (Gold Dot 125)
Glock 23: .32 sec (HST 180 gr.)
All have night sights.
I checked flash with the 19c just after sunset; HST 124 +p made a noticeable flash whereas Golden Saber 124 +P was negligible.
And the winner (best for carry) is?
Convince me.
