HS,
Here in north-central Ohio we have a gun store that has a firing range that puts on pin matches as well as action pistol matches. I don't shoot pins much anymore except with a shotgun or .22 carbine. We use the old 5 pins straight across the table set for most classes and a 10 pin set for .22 carbine and a 15 pin set for teams. We shoot from 25 feet for handguns, 35 feet for shotguns, and 25 yards for .22 carbines.
My best 5 pin set with a shotgun was 3.03 seconds. I use a Remington 1100, 12 gauge with tactical 00 buckshot. The gun has a 9 round extended magazine.
I used to use a Glock 24P in the large pistol class. I was never much faster than 5.5 seconds for 5 pins. Your 4.1 on a split table sounds pretty darn good!
Keep Shootin',
