What is 'good' off hand shooting is subjective.

To a NRA master bullseye shooter 2 inch 25 yard groups might be considered 'good'. TO a NRA Hunter Pistol shooter it might be 3 or 4 inches at that range. To a IPSC shooter it might by 8 inch groups at that range.

And it depends on what you are shooting. Match .45? S&W K-38. J.C. Higgans .22? RG?

But if say you just had a plain jane S&W 4 inch M10 and 158gr LRN 'widow makers', then a 4 inch group at 25 yards would be pretty decent.
