Has anybody shot a Glock17 of the bench, or in a Rest to see what sort of accuracy they can do at 25 or 50 yards?

Sort of. I put it on paper at 10 and 14 yards while sandbagged because it wasn't accurate enough for cans at 25.
I found I couldn't get much accuracy with the stock trigger, but things tightened up a lot with a cheap spring kit. After putting in the springs it grouped nicely at 10 and 14 yards. At 25 it would bounce a can around with regularity.
I don't recall what my loads were or exactly what the group's looked like at this point.

I can blow lungs right out of a body at 150 yards.

I have pseudo benched a pistol many times, when trying to really fine tune a micro dot, but the only time. Not something that I feel is in the range or intended purpose of a pistol. The best grouping at 25 yards with a Glock was when I had the CAA Roni thing for a bit to play with, will say it DOES stabilize your Glock.
The only time i ever benched a handgun for the purpose of accuracy was my Dad's 7" barreled 44 mag super redhawk with a pistol scope, that thing was pretty accurate.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
Over the past week I had twenty four Gen4 G17s in Hoser's Ransom Rest. I was shooting five round groups of 124gr ball (I don't remember the brand but I can check the next time I'm at work). Range was 25yds and the point of aim was a 1" pasty on a USPSA target. Average group size was about 2" across all the pistols. We did have one pistol that refused to shoot any better than 6" regardless of the method (Ransom rest, bench, etc.). One pistol shot a four round clover leaf with one flyer about 1" outside the cluster.
Take it for what it's worth.

It's been a while, but I used to ring steel (12") at 100 pretty easily with any of my Glocks. At the time, I only had 9x19s - and most often shot with a factory barrel in my G26 Gen3. 124gr FMJ hardball for plinking.
Might take a shot or two to walk it in and find the right holdover if I haven't done it recently, then 70%-80% hit rate. Maybe I'm old and shaky now and can't do it anymore, but I could, back in the day.
