The large variations in velocity are likely due to the use of different barrel lengths. The often quoted velocity of 1250 fps with a 124 grain FMJ bullet is the NATO standard, but if I recall correctly, the test barrel is about 7.5 inches in length. For a pistol with a barrel length of 4-5 inches, expect 1150 to 1200 fps.
