Volume I, 2013

With the introduction of the new model, the G30S, GLOCK has provided GSSF competitors with a new model that can fit into multiple Divisions. Let’s first briefly review the new model and then point out its flexibility in GSSF competitions.

GLOCK engineers took major components from two other mod-els and put them together to form a model with unique characteris-tics of its own. The G30SF was chosen as the frame component. The upper assembly-slide with re-lated parts, barrel and dual Recoil Spring Assembly (RSA) - is from the only current GLOCK single stack model, the G36. The result

is an eminently carriable and shootable GLOCK.

Originally designed at the request of an elite US west coast Law Enforcement unit, the G30S is in the venerable and proven .45 Auto cartridge. This cartridge, whose original design was finalized in 1911, has had the benefit of over a century’s worth of development and is known to be both accurate and effective in a defensive role. The GLOCK Model 30 has received several modifications, most recently receiving Gen4 upgrades. Although carried by many, some thought the GLOCK a bit “thick,” and when carrying, it is the slide which mainly causes this effect.

All variations have an enviable reputation in both the accuracy and reliability areas.

But what does this mean for GSSF competitors? Competitors actually

The G30S: Flexible Heavy Metal

The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2013 ©GLOCK, 2013 page 3

The only GSSF match held outside of the United States was in St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada in 1995. With only 48 entries, it is also the smallest GSSF match on record.

{can have one pistol that can directly compete in all Divisions. From the Amateur Division to Subcompact to Major Sub to Heavy Metal, the G30S can do it all! The slim slide contributes to less recoil and faster recovery. The accuracy is there if the competitor will do their part, and some will swear that additional points can be had (or avoid seconds being added) because of the larger diameter projectile cutting a scoring line that would have been missed by a smaller diameter bullet. And you know the plates and poppers will go down with anything resembling a decent hit…

The new G30S: try it, it’ll be a blast in many different ways!

“Do you own a parrot….?” If you’ve been asked this at a GSSF event, it strongly indicates two things: You’ve met me, and you weren’t wearing any eye protection when we first met. It usually goes like this: “Excuse me, may I ask you a personal question, do you own a parrot?” The normal response, delivered with a shocked or confused look, is, “Excuse me?! A parrot?! No, I don’t own a parrot! “That’s too bad. You see, when a bullet fragment or ricochet ruins one of your eyes, the nice doctors are going to give you a ‘Pirate’s patch’. And

it just looks better with a parrot on your shoulder. A bottle of rum really completes the ensemble!” By this point you were likely blushing or smiling or laughing and indicating that ‘you get it’, and started putting on your eye protection. That was the goal all along. Please consider that a patch and a hitchhiking bird could be the least of your troubles if you don’t routinely wear eye protection while at shooting ranges. P.S. – Unless your spouse and children own a parrot, please be sure to get them some eye protection, too.

RangeMasters’ Corner

The MatchMeister title was added in 2002. The first GSSF MatchMeister

was Matt Kartozian.

A question we often hear is: “What do I get for the $35 I paid for joining GSSF or the $25 I pay for an-nual membership renewals?”

Initial Membership Package Your initial membership package will include a copy of the GLOCK Annual magazine, a GSSF hat, a copy of the GLOCK Report detailing the GSSF program itself, and several other promotional items.

Matches Nationwide The biggest single benefit is to allow you to attend the GSSF matches themselves. There are over forty of these per year, nationwide, at outdoor venues. Prizes at an average outdoor match amount to 18 firearms and $5,100 in cash awards. The larger the match, the larger the number of and greater the quality of the awards. With record-setting attendance, our Conyers, GA match in 2012 awarded a total of 57 firearms and $22,000 in cash awards. There are also about two hundred ninety indoor matches nationwide per year. These are held at GLOCK Stocking Dealers who also run indoor ranges. Firearm and other GLOCK item awards are also a feature of these matches.

Armorer’s Classes As a GSSF member you are allowed access to the basic GLOCK Armorer’s class. As a GLOCK owner, this teaches you how to detail strip and maintain your GLOCK collection. GSSF members are no longer eligible to purchase additional firearms through their Armorer certification.

CMP Affiliation GSSF is now affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program. The CMP offers U.S. government surplus firearms and ammunition at bargain pricing to qualified citizens.

Pistol Purchase Program New members who join for two or more years and all renewing GSSF members are eligible to participate in the Pistol Purchase Program, as allowable by local laws. Eligible members will receive a coupon which can be used at participating dealers. More information on this program can be found in the GSSF FAQs on page 5.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program has graciously allowed GSSF to affiliate again this year.

This is a great program that makes older military guns and ammunition available to purchase for our members at preferential prices. Check it out!

GSSF Membership Benefits

GSSF Affiliates with CMP


How do I receive a pistol purchase coupon? If you are a renewing member you will automatically receive a new member card and coupon. If you are a new member you will need to join for a minimum of 2 years. When you receive your member packet you will receive a member card and coupon. They are located on the bottom of the welcome letter. You will receive one coupon per year as long as you are a current member. If you are a new member joining for one year, you will not receive a coupon until you renew your membership. If you don’t receive a coupon, you can email us at [email protected] with your name and member number (if you know it) to request the coupon from us.

How do I use my pistol purchase coupon? GSSF Pistol Purchase Coupons must be used at a dealer that carries law enforcement GLOCK models. If you have a dealer near you that sells to Law Enforcement you can contact them to see if they are participating in the program. If you do not know of any dealers near you, call the GSSF office for assistance.

I am new to GSSF and shooting competitions. Everything can be found on our website, www.gssfonline.com. For new shooters it will help if you read the sign in procedure, “GSSF made easy,” and new competitor briefing. Those are located under the “Hot Topics” link. You can only shoot a division one time. If you want to shoot more than one gun you need to shoot different divisions. If you still have questions you can email us or you can call 770-437-4718.

How do I join or renew my membership? The forms are on our website under the reg-istration link. The forms can be faxed, mailed or you can PDF the form and email it to [email protected]. If you are going to a match in the next few weeks you may want to join and pre-register for that match at the same time using the match registration form.

How long will it take to receive a new member pack? We process memberships/renewals as quickly as possible. There are times when we receive a very high volume of memberships and it can take longer to receive a member pack or renewal card. It is generally 2 to 4 weeks to receive a new member pack.

Can I pre-register for an Indoor League Match? You do not pre-register for an indoor match. You will register at the match and you can also join or renew your membership there.

If I do not pre-register for an outdoor match can I still shoot? Yes, you can register at the match and join or renew. If you pre-register it will save you time, you won’t have to stand in registration lines at the match. If you are pre-registering please note that pre-reg-istrations have to be into GSSF by noon, eastern time, the Wednesday before the match. That gives staff time to get all paperwork packed and ready to go to the match.

Can I bring a friend to watch the match? Yes, they will need to stop by registration and sign a liability form. They will also need to bring hearing and eye protection with them.

When will the match results be posted? The preliminary results will be posted soon after the match. If there is an error in your results please email GSSF with your name and the match name. Please let us know which division and which course of fire the error is located. The match will be finalized in approximately 4 weeks. If we have a heavy match schedule it will take longer to finalize matches. Once the match is finalized you will see the prizes for that match listed with the scores.

GSSF Frequently Asked Questions

The largest GSSF match on record was the 2012 GLOCK Annual Shoot in Conyers, GA. There were

1,045 entries.{


Speed vs. Accuracy KC Eusebio

Balancing speed and accuracy is the cornerstone of performance shooting. The ability to find that correct balance, and the discipline to shift that exchange appropriately, is what separates the good shooters from the great. This becomes especially true over the course of multiple targets of varying sizes and distances and under constantly changing circumstances. However, while the concept of “shooting only as fast as you can get your hits” may seem straightforward, there are a multitude of concepts that must be fully understood in order to truly master this crucial skillset. We first must understand the concept of “deviation”; this is the difference in where we want the bullet to go and where it could go. It’s best to picture this as an ever-expanding cone coming out of the muzzle of the gun and constantly growing

as it moves downrange. How is this critical to our shooting? The two most significant elements that affect the balance of speed and accuracy are target size and target distance. Smaller targets are less tolerant of deviation as they occupy less space in the “cone”. Additionally, targets at greater distance are equally intolerant of deviation as the cone is larger farther downrange. In an effort to make the hits that we wish to get, it is our job as shooters to apply what is referred to as “deviation controls”. Among these are a proper grip, efficient stance, an appropriate “sight package”, the correct amount of trigger management and consistent follow through. If this sounds familiar, it should; these are the fundamentals of shooting. But the big picture is deeper than that…. It’s important to understand that, unless the shooter gets lucky, it is the shooters individual application of skill that dictates whether or not he or she gets the hit. What this means is, the amount of

deviation control that the shooter employs towards a particular shooting problem will determine if he or she is successful in achieving the desired hits. In high school, when people study for a test, most people have the same mindset: study only as much as I need to get the grade I wish to receive. Shooting is no different. I refer to this as “doing the bare minimum”. I want to apply as few deviation controls as I have to in order to make the hit I want. If I apply more or refine them any greater than they need to be – the more time it will take for me to make my hits. Plain and simple.

The Bullet Stop is honored to receive the 2012 indoor range of the year award. The Bullet Stop has been sponsoring the GSSF shoots for ten years. We have shooters from Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas competing every year.

The first year we held the event we had 24 GSSF members who competed and shared their joys and experiences of past shooting events. We used this information gathered every year to improve our event in an attempt to become better.

In 2012, we had 52 GSSF members competing, which is the largest group of competitors listed to date; this was the first year that we had enough female shooters to have a category especially for female members.

We build our GSSF events around the idea of a family picnic. During every event, we provide a social area and an area that provides food for GSSF members, such as pulled pork, chicken and noodles, chili, ham and beans, etc. We have found that many of the members are attracted to our events because of the atmosphere that we create.

We make an effort to collect GLOCK related items throughout the year such as cleaning mats, shovels, knives, hats, range bags, etc. Once everyone completes shooting and most of the members are finished eating, we have our drawings for the GLOCK merchandise. We have found that having a variety of GLOCK gifts really helps make everyone feel special and welcomed.

The Bullet Stop uses computerized scoring programs to help with the up-to-date and live scoring for all of the GSSF members, allowing them to see their score and how they rank as every flight of shooters come off the range. This helps build the competiveness amongst friends and family members, even if they shoot several flights apart. The scores are available online on our website, as well as posting the winners with the GSSF.

This event would not be as successful if good people were not involved. I would like to thank the following people for their support and active interest making The Bullet Stop GSSF annual indoor competition a calendar event for so many shooters.

They are:

Jim D. Coordinator Rusty U. Statistician Don U. Food Max W. Rangemaster

Thanks to all for competing and making our GLOCK shoots successful. 2014 will be another banner year at The Bullet Stop!

GSSF Indoor League 2012 Range of the Year


GLOCK Professional recently introduced the S.A.F.E. Basic Pistol Classes. The purpose of this class is to educate new shooters in firearms safety and operations. However, everyone is encouraged to attend as even experienced shooters can take something away from the opportunity to practice under the watchful eye of instructors. The class opened with an introduction and a safety briefing. Any students with live ammunition or firearms in the training area were asked to secure them in their vehicle or on-site. GLOCK Professional both encourages and requires safety at all events from training to shooting matches, and the basic class is no exception. Students viewed a PowerPoint presentation covering basic

safety rules, firearms nomenclature, the fundamentals of shooting, and other related information. At any point, students were encouraged to ask questions to further their understanding of the material. Following the initial presentation the students got to go ‘hands on’ with GLOCK’s 17P and 17R Training pistols. These training pistols are designed to be incapable of firing with live ammunition. Students practiced loading and unloading procedures until they demonstrated solid understanding of the technique. Then, students practiced the fundamentals of shooting without the added distraction of the noise and muzzle blast of the gun firing. Once the dry gun work concluded, the class entered to the simulator room. GLOCK Professional recently installed a pneumatic training system that allowed students to practice the fundamentals of shooting with actual recoil by using compressed air. The simulator also provided real-time target feedback for both the student and the instructor without the cost of regular ammunition. After lunch, the training continued on to the live-fire portion. Students had the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge with live GLOCK pistols inside GLOCK Professional’s indoor shooting range. The day concluded with additional information on cleaning of their firearms and concealed carry as well as an opportunity for any questions on the information provided. The class wrapped up with student evaluations and the award of the students’ certificate of completion.

Lifetime Members

The 599th and 600th GSSF matches were held on the weekend of May 18-19, 2013.{


I shoot NRA High Power Rifle and NRA Con-ventional Pistol competitions. I have a classification of High Master in both. I have earned a distinguished rifle badge and distinguished pistol badge. I have also won several regional and state titles in both rifle and pistol. All of the matches use rifles and pistols that have had a lot of work done to them to make them shoot very accurately. I started shooting with GSSF in 2003 because I really like the idea of having a match where a stock pistol is all you needed. They are fun and very little stress. A few years ago, the Civilian Marksmanship Program started shooting pistol matches at the East-ern Games at Camp Butner, North Carolina. They have a match were competitors have to shoot a stock service pistol. I shot my GLOCK 21 since it is the most accurate stock gun that I have. I have won matches the last two years. Last year, I was the only one shooting a GLOCK. This year, I have already seen several more on the line.

Pistol Giveaway Winner I made my first GLOCK purchase, in 2001. It was shortly after the 9/11 tragedy. Although I was living 5,000 miles from New York, I was feeling hopeless and helpless. Earlier that month, my wife and I had accompanied our daughter to Washing-ton, DC for the start of her freshman year in col-lege. It was her frantic four in the morning phone call that alerted us to the attacks on The Pentagon and World Trade Center. Later, I found out that three of my friends had been directly affected by the attack on the World Trade Center. A daughter, a sister, and a son-in-law were lost. I felt compelled to do something. And while I already owned several handguns, I felt the need for something different. At the time I was not sure why, but I felt like I needed a GLOCK. Even then, I understood the concept – “Confidence To Live Your Life”. My first GLOCK was a GLOCK 19. I bought two, one for me and one for my wife. Our “his and hers” G19s even have sequential serial numbers. And while they did see frequent trips to a local range and rod & gun club, our GLOCK life was pretty mundane, for the next 11 years.

That all changed in 2012. In March, I attended the GLOCK Armorer Course. The previous year I had renewed my GSSF membership and was determined to get more familiar with my GLOCK and its capabilities. If I thought I was a big GLOCK fan prior to attending the AC, I was now a huge fan. The more I learned about its engineering and materials, the more my “confidence” grew. During the AC, I found out that my certification as an NRA firearms instructor coupled with my GSSF membership and GLOCK Armorer certification qualified me to attend the GLOCK Instructor Workshop. I was really “stoked”. In preparation for attendance, I purchased my fourth GLOCK, a GLOCK 17 Gen4. I had purchased a G26 as my back-up gun after obtaining my concealed carry license a few years earlier. Seven months and a thousand rounds later I was ready for the GLOCK IW. Wow – what a terrific experience. The instruction was awesome, as was the fellowship with other GLOCK guys. My GLOCK and my GLOCK experiences have truly given me the ‘confidence to live my life’.

Member’s Corner

I’m a brand new member of GSSF. I just attended my first match at Dickson, TN yesterday. Man! That was fun! The friendliness, professionalism, and eagerness to help a new member were greatly appreciated. Every stage was fully staffed with friendly, dressed in blue GLOCK t-shirts, people. I think they were volunteers from the club that put on the match. There was a young man and a gal at the “sign-in” tent. I gathered that they were employees of GLOCK. Very efficient, very organized team. Thanks to the GLOCK people and the club at Dickson!! I’m looking forward to the next one that is close enough that I can attend.See y’all there,DPTennessee

I have been a sport shooter for decades. My first time firing a pistol was in the basement of a small town gun club and I was quite terrible with it. Perhaps half of my shots hit the paper that evening. However, the lingering effect was a strong desire to someday become a decent pistol shot.Several years after that experience I was old enough to purchase my first handgun, a revolver. I practiced, plinked, and eventually competed in local PPC matches. It was reliable and accurate, but sport shooting seemed to be transitioning to semiautomatics pistols. Next, I tried an M1911 pistol. Unfortunately, I chose one that looked very nice, but had little track record. So, I experienced frustration--jams and problems with accuracy. After the M1911, I purchased a nice 9MM semiautomatic. I enjoyed shooting it and tried my skills at IPSC competition. But IPSC rules


handicapped me. For example, I was forced to start with the pistol uncocked and with its safety enabled. Even so, while I could score okay in IPSC, I always struggled at the bull’s-eye range. Around 2005 I purchased my first GLOCK, through the GSSF purchase program. I immedi-ately grew to appreciate the many advantages of GLOCK pistols. They are extremely corrosion resistant. They have an action which aids a very quick first shot. They also have a short trigger re-set, which aids a quick second shot. Plus, they are lightweight, durable, and, as I would come to real-ize, extremely accurate. I hope to compete in GSSF competitions with my GLOCK 19. They look like a lot of fun. In the mean time, I have practiced informal bull’s-eye shooting with my GLOCK 19. Recently I scored a 96/100-4x at 25 yards and while following NRA bull’s-eye pistol timed fire rules, including fir-ing right hand only. This result demonstrates the shootability and substantial accuracy of a relative-ly stock Generation 4 GLOCK 19 pistol. The only alterations to this pistol have been the addition of night sights and the installation of a “dot” connec-tor. Perhaps it doesn’t need saying, but I think of this little GLOCK as my bull’s-eye pistol now. My journey through the world of pistol marksmanship has been rewarding and a lot of fun. It follows a path from really struggling with an expensive target pistol to shooting pretty well with the reliable, durable, and accurate GLOCK com-pact service pistol. My GLOCK 19 has become my most frequent range companion. This journey is one that I recommend to everyone.Very sincerely,JBVirginia

I purchased my first GLOCK pistol over 20 years ago. I knew about GLOCKs before my pur-chase, and had even handled one in a shop. An over-enthusiastic clerk practically thrust one into my hand while he breathlessly recited its merits. I accepted it coolly, and, with his permission, I dry fired the pistol. I shuddered at the feel of the trig-ger and the noise it made. I grimaced and handed it back to him. But I decided I needed a 10mm pistol and determined to select one in a methodical manner.

For weeks, I poured over reviews of 10mm hand-guns. At the end of my study, I realized that among all the 10mm autoloaders on the market, only the GLOCK 20 had received uniformly good reviews. It was not a particularly welcome conclusion. In spite of my distaste for “plastic” pistols, I knew I simply had to have a 10mm and that the pistol I purchased must enjoy a reputation for reli-ability and durability. I visited a gun shop and left with a GLOCK 20. I’m an engineer, and the first thing I did with my prize, after reading the manual from cover to cover, was field strip it. After careful examination of the major components, I realized how the parts fit together and I began the full disassembly process. Of course, I don’t recommend that any new pistol owner should follow my example, but I’ve always had a gift for understanding mechanical devices. Before long, the gun lay in pieces on the table and I sat looking at it in amazement. I had never seen a gun so simply constructed and so cleanly de-signed. I saw how the simplicity and genius of the design contributed to durability and reliability. I de-cided then and there that I would pay another visit to the gun shop and the next day I purchased my second GLOCK; this time, a model 17. At the range, I found that while the GLOCK trigger was different from what I had experienced before, it was no hindrance at all to accurate or rapid shooting and my GLOCK 20 was promoted to my “nightstand gun”. Today, I own 7 GLOCKs, including a cut-away model and a GLOCK 17L. Although I own many other handguns of different types and brands, my first GLOCK, over 2 decades after I purchased it, is still my nightstand gun, and I have no plans to retire it. Another of my GLOCKs is a constant companion as a self-defense carry pistol. For the last 8 years, I have competed regu-larly in GSSF matches, both indoor and outdoor and have helped introduce other shooters to GSSF. My wife, using one of my GLOCKs, shot in her first match 4 years ago and was immedi-ately hooked. Today, she competes using her own Generation 4 GLOCK 19, purchased through the GSSF discount purchase program. The GSSF program is a brilliant way to fa-miliarize GLOCK owners with their pistols, to en-courage others to own and shoot GLOCKs, and


also to prove that GLOCK cares about the people who rely on their products. I keep wondering when other gun companies will finally break the code and imitate not just GLOCK’s products, but also their owner support programs.Keep up the good work!JS Texas

I am writing this letter as everyone should read this. I am disabled, most of the time I am in a wheelchair or walking with a cane. I am retired from an agency where others carried GLOCKs in their daily duties. I have always admired them, but it’s taken a while for me to finally save enough money to finally purchase a brand new model 23. After reading an issue of the GLOCK report, I immedi-ately joined GSSF. After reading several articles, I felt compelled to write this letter. I haven’t fired a pistol in over 20 years. After familiarizing myself with my new pistol, I ordered a tungsten front rod to help my shooting, a beavertail and a bottom grip to allow my hand to hold the gun properly. In my state it’s required to take a gun safety course be-fore getting your CCW. As I said, I hadn’t fired a pistol in 20 years. During my trip to the range to qualify for my CCW they used FBI standards for distance. The targets were plain white sheets of paper. I for the first time, out of the box, shot my pistol. I placed one round in the center of each target when instructed to fire only one shot first. To my amazement when ordered to fire 2 and 3 round bursts at the 3 targets with a total of 30 rounds fired, I maintained a 4” grouping! I was totally amazed at the accuracy and how well I did. Right out of the box! I have since ordered some additional parts to extend the slide, mag release and a couple of oth-er items to help me do everything with one hand but I am totally amazed at the accuracy and the ease of installing parts. I am truly sold on GLOCK and plan on entering some competition with GSSF after some practice. I hope to save enough money some day to purchase other GLOCKS, especially one set up for just target shooting for competition. I look forward to my second year renewal of my GSSF for my discount coupon and hope by then to have enough money saved to purchase anoth-er gun at that time. For those who are wondering about purchasing a GLOCK, there shouldn’t be

any doubt in their mind, as I am no professional when shooting but if I can hold a 4” grouping for the first time of shooting the gun and the ease of installation of parts, in my eyes, there isn’t another gun out there for me anywhere. Someday I will own a collection of them. Thank you so much, and I look forward to years of enjoyment practicing at the range. Thanks again GLOCK !Sincerely JL Michigan

On April 27,2013 I attended my first GSSF competition at B.E.L.T. training in Reevesville,SC. It was a great experience from the moment I stepped in the office to registered for the event to the end of the competition on Sunday afternoon. I met some wonderful people from not only in SC but from GA, FL, and PA. Everyone was so kind and helpful by giving advice and explaining how to figure your score to explaining how the competi-tion worked and what you needed to do at that station. People whom you have never met before this day even offered to let you use their gun to try it out to giving you ammo if you needed it at that moment. Also telling you to just relax and enjoy the day/weekend and have a good time. The shooting experience was great and I would highly recommend to everyone who likes to shoot to go to at least 1 GSSF competition. It is just an amazing experience. I am a “challenged” shooter and I would highly recommend that even if you are “chal-lenged” that you give a GSSF competition a try. SGSouth Carolina

While at the Gunny Shoot-Off, I noticed certain fundamental skills that seemed to be uni-versal among the competitors and that might be worth sharing. 1. GRIP – Everyone was using an identical grip that I call “Thumbs-to-Target”. Both thumbs are parallel to the barrel and are ‘pointed’ at the target. The strong hand is not ‘over-gripping’ the gun and the support hand is providing at least 50% of the grip on the frame. I can’t speak to how much “finger” was on the trigger because every-body has different size hands. In general, I think


this facet of weapon manipulation is over-rated. Why? Because it is the yank on the trigger that is responsible for most misses, not how much of the finger tip touches the trigger.2. STANCE – All the shooters had their shoulders “ahead” or forward of their feet. This prevents the pistol’s recoil from ‘standing’ the shooter up and aids in recoil management. This is not as important when shooting one or two shots as it is shooting multiple shots, but it is a good habit to establish.3. TRIGGER CONTROL – The shooters at the Gunny Challenge got there because they are able to deliver more than one shot on a target in a very brief interval. I do not know how every Match Meister trained to do this. Most of the better shooters avoid over-gripping the pistol with their strong hand. Having a ‘death-grip’ on a hammer, steering wheel, or pistol makes most of these devices unwieldy. A strong grip with the support hand is key to not over-gripping with the dominant hand. Trigger Control is THE most difficult facet of shooting to master. It requires a lot of practice. A slow deliberate trigger squeeze is easy while at the range and when shooting one shot at one target, with no time limit, and no buzzer.4. RECOIL MANAGEMENT – There are many factors that make up recoil, but controlling recoil is a key to being successful at GLOCK matches. Being able to “lock” the wrist of the strong hand is a key. The difficulty is ‘locking’ the wrist without over-gripping the pistol and losing control of the trigger finger. One tip is to rotate the support hand ‘forward’ so that the thumb of the support hand is pointed at the target and parallels the barrel of the gun and the strong-hand thumb. Just like in society, there are all body sizes and shapes at the Gunny Challenge. There were thin, thick, tall, and short shooters. But all of them were able to control their recoil to decrease time off the target. The larger shooters dampen recoil better than thin shooters, but in general being able to control recoil and trigger pull are two huge keys to successful shooting.5. BULLETS – It is my belief that many of the Match Meisters shoot reloaded bullets, but it is my strong suspicion that the same shooters would have been at the Gunny Challenge if they had shot factory loads all season! Factory bullets were

used for this event and I do not think recoil was the factor in who won. In most instances, it was the number of misses, not the amount of powder or bullet weight that determined the winner.6. SIGHTS – A vendor donated fiber optic sights for the Gunny Challenge, but most of the shooters utilize a fiber optic front sight for their personal guns. They are a little easier to visualize, even on a cloudy day. Also, in general, a thinner front sight will be more accurate than a wider front sight. There are a lot of choices. Take a look at the successful shooter’s guns. Pick one that you like. 7. PRACTICE – I cannot speak for everyone’s training habits, but I think it is a fair statement that all of the shooters at the Gunny Challenge have spent a good deal of time at the range. None of us shoot as much as we would like. Contrary to popu-lar opinion, most of the competitors do not have the GLOCK M or the 5 To GLOCK set up in their back yard. Point is – the best shooters are practic-ing and they are not shooting hundreds of rounds per practice session, but that is another topic.There is a good deal of discussion on various blogs about items that make a pistol perform better. GLOCK pistols are very reliable right ‘out of the box’. The more people modify them, the less reliable they become. I would urge shooters to spend their time and money at the range practicing, rather than buying minus connectors, tungsten guide rods, after-market recoil springs, match grade barrels or magnetic bullets. We are darn lucky to be able to participate in this wonderful sport! Many thanks to GLOCK for giv-ing us the opportunity to win a host of prizes! I hope something above resonates with the reader and re-sults in a pistol certificate and a lot of enjoyment!Good Luck!JMNorth Carolina

I just finished my first GSSF competition at LAX Range in Inglewood, CA. It was an eye open-ing experience! I just got back into shooting after about 17 years away from the sport and I had a blast. First, I want to say that the staff and my fellow shooters at LAX Range were very professional and friendly. I discovered that the sights on my GLOCK 17 which I thought were off are in fact dead on


after asking one of the LAX employees to give my 17 a try! I should have gotten his name, a very nice guy and he was absolutely pounding nails with my gun! I had a great time, but I have much work to do before my next shoot! Speaking of my next shoot, I am consider-ing the upcoming outdoor competition which will be held at Raahauge’s Shooting Park in Norco. JLCalifornia

The other day I finally put my faith in GLOCK to the test and trusted my life and the lives of my wife and 7 month old daughter to a GLOCK product. You may be thinking to yourself, “I wonder which model pistol he used to defend himself?” The answer is none of them. It was a GLOCK field knife that I had in my hand while standing in front of my living room door watching it slowly open and waiting to confront the person entering my apartment. This incident occurred in the middle of the day as I sat at my computer in the living room. I heard a strange noise coming from my left by the door. At first I didn’t recognize the sound as it only lasted for a brief moment. My wife was in the show-er and my baby was asleep in the nursery in her crib so I was bewildered as to its source. Then I heard it louder and longer for a second time and fi-nally understood it to be the sound of a key entering the lock on my outside door. “That can’t be right”, I thought to myself. Then, I saw the deadbolt knob turning slowly on the door. Knowing that no one else had a key, I jumped out of my chair and thought about how I was go-ing to stop this intruder and protect my family. My thoughts went into overdrive. I keep a G23 in a safe in my bedroom nightstand. Knowing that it was too far away and that the door would be open within mere seconds, I thought about what other immedi-ate options I had for defense. Quickly, I remembered the GLOCK field knife that I had won in a random draw at my very first GSSF tournament in 2009. I had stored it in my top right desk drawer specifically for a self defense situation. My wife thought it was completely ridiculous at the time and made fun of me. She understood the G23 in the nightstand but thought this was paranoid overkill. I snatched that knife out of the drawer as

quickly as my shaky hands would let me. I had just enough time to jump in front of the door as it swung open. Standing there was a large man about to step foot inside. Before he could even look up, his eyes leapt to the 6.5” blade in my right hand. His eyes got as big as saucers and his expression was one of complete shock. He immediately put his hands up and backed up several steps into the hallway.I asked him who he was and what he was doing. He said he was with maintenance here on a call. I informed him that I was told by management that there was only one maintenance technician on staff and I knew who that was and it wasn’t him. He replied that he was the maintenance supervisor and it was true that there was only one technician, so technically I was correct. Not ready to believe his story so easily, I held him in my doorway while I called management to confirm that he was in fact employed with them. After all, there was not a warning knock at the door nor was there any verbal announcement that it was maintenance as he began to enter my apartment. It turns out he was telling the truth, but was at the incorrect address for the service call. There was no way for me to know that at the time. As far as I knew, he was an intruder breaking into my home and that my family was in immediate danger. There had been 3 changes in management and staff in the last year and I had no idea who might have ac-cess to master keys to the apartments. I also live in one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S.A. I have to be careful. After diffusing the situation and exchanging profuse apologies and handshakes, we left each other’s company with a sigh of relief. Even though the ending was anti-climactic (which I am entirely grateful for), I realized a few important things. First, I am sure glad I had a backup plan to my G23 for unexpected self defense needs. Second, I may have had a lot of adrenaline pumping, but I kept my head on straight and made some really important and correct decisions in a matter of seconds when it counted the most. Third, I thank God for GLOCK’s products. I know I have full confidence in my G23 and sleep soundly with it at my bedside. And in that brief moment when I had to figure out how else to defend the lives of my family my GLOCK knife was the first thing that popped into my head. It was the


only thing I had confidence in without even having to think about it. Thank you GLOCK and GSSF. Back in 2009 when I won the field knife at the Brighton tournament, I thought I was really lucky. Now I feel even luckier knowing the level of protection it could have provided me had this situation been more sinister. For the rest of my life, I will always keep this knife handy in case another need should arise in the future and I don’t think my wife will be making fun of me about it anymore!WDMichigan

I have been a gun lover for as long as I can remember. Before our economy collapsed I had a very nice gun collection that consisted of mostly another brand. When the building of new homes in Las Vegas virtually came to a stop, so did my job. I did what I had to do and sold all of my guns but one to stay afloat. When my situation improved I was faced with a new decision. Where do I start in my pro-cess of rebuilding my arsenal? My natural reac-tion was to buy all of the same guns over again. I picked up a CCW but was not into the idea of holster wear on a thousand dollar gun. After weeks of research I ended up go-ing with a Gen 4 GLOCK 27. My deciding factors were reliability, size, weight, and cost. Up until the time I bought my GLOCK, I have never fired or held a GLOCK. In all honesty I was a little nervous that I might not even like it after I shot it. After my first day at the range I had a new love in my life. The best way to describe my GLOCK 27 is that it’s like the sports car of hand-guns. My only regrets were that I didn’t shoot a GLOCK sooner. I now own a G23 to compliment my 27 and plan on getting a 35 next so I can join my fine friends in some friendly competition.JZNevada

My shooting began in April of 2012. Hav-ing never picked up a pistol before in my life, I took a ladies course and then obtained my CWP. My first gun was something other than a GLOCK and I was not happy with it. Upon meeting a mem-

ber of a gun club I voiced my disappointment and he suggested I buy a GLOCK so I could shoot at your matches. My first purchase was a 19 gen 4, which I shot in August of 2012 and scored in the 270 range. Then in October of 2012 I borrowed a 17 gen 4 and shot a 134. What a difference. So, I continued to practice and joined a local gun club. In February of 2013 I decided I needed a 17 Gen 4 of my own. Here comes the best part, I went to your match in Prospect Hill, NC and won high lady in the civilian category with an 88.29. What a shock. My plans were to just break under a 120 had no idea I would score what I did. I love my 17, shoot it everywhere I go. I do own a 34 gen 4 as well and am working with that. The matches have been great and everyone is so helpful. Don’t give up; you never know when that great shot might occur. I love the sport, my chil-dren will ask each other “where is Mom,” and one will say “out shooting at some target again what else does she do.” Every chance I get I am ei-ther at the range or dry firing in my house. I live in South Carolina, originally from Delaware, and people ask me don’t I want to move back north, my answer is “heck no it’s too cold to shoot out-side in the winter”. I only wish there were more matches closer by, but I will drive as far as neces-sary to attend one.LDSouth Carolina

I joined GSSF this year and was very ex-cited to participate in my first match this April at Norco. I explained to my 12 year old daughter, my usual partner in crime, that while I was excited to participate, I was nervous as I had never compet-ed in a shooting event. The truth is, though I have been shooting for over thirty years, I have never even watched a match. As the schedule unfolded, no one else was available to join the two of us at the match. I se-cured my ammunition well in advance, since we all know what a challenge that can present these days. The delivery of my model 19 was delayed so my DROS (Dealer Record of Sale) was not completed in time to use it at the match. My wife offered the use of her model 26, so given little


choice, I registered on line for the sub-compact division to avoid the longer wait at registration, so far, less than ideal but still good. After I signed in at the match, my daughter announced she would like to participate as well. I have always encouraged her, and her three siblings, to try new things. She normally loves her long guns and only shoots handguns with much encouragement. So after a brief scramble for ammunition, the wait in the walk-up registration, signing her up for her own membership, and selecting her event, we were off and running. With the help of fellow competitors and range staff, we quickly acclimated to the event and spent the day shooting and enjoying some qual-ity father/daughter time. The range officers were quite accommodating of the fact that we needed to share the one pistol and four magazines. One range officer even shared a clip and his .45 cal pistol so my daughter could experience shooting with a full frame model during warm ups. The of-ficers were also great in firmly but gently guiding her through the three stages of fire including a few misfeeds and some poorly placed hot brass. There were some great teaching moments that they and I seized without hesitation. All in all, it was a great experience for my daughter and me. We both look forward to the next opportunity to join in a match and now mom even wants to join us. The collection will grow by neces-sity so we can participate in good form. Thanks, GSSF, for a great day of family shooting.GVCalifornia

I am the “Team Captain” for a law enforce-ment pistol team. I wanted to let you know that we appreciate you’re putting on these matches. We have been participating in the GSSF matches in Southern California and Las Vegas since 2008. Since that time, we have had at least 25 agents join GSSF. At the 2013 GSSF shoot in Norco, nine of our special agents competed (some shot in multiple divisions). This was the first GSSF match for two agents. Getting random prizes adds to the excitement of competing and encourages more participation among our agents. In fact, we publish

articles in our national IRS-CI internal newsletter about the successes of our participants in the GSSF matches, and the prizes we receive. Again, I just wanted to thank you for putting on such great matches and supporting law enforcement by having the Guardian division, including Senior and Female Guardians.RSCalifornia

I wanted to give you my first impressions of my first of any kind match participation this past Saturday. I participated in the Lone Star Classic in Carrollton, Texas. When I got to the event I wasn’t real sure where to go, but I headed in the direction of the sound of gun fire and found the check in area fairly quick. Being as green as a string bean, I had to ask a lot of questions. Everyone was extremely helpful and one volunteer showed me where to go and gave me some general pointers like signing in at each course and then staying at one and letting them know you were there. My first of the first was 5 to GLOCK. While waiting to shoot, I spoke with others that were there about what I should do. Two things I noticed as I was called to the line: one, that this seems to be an aerobic sport due to my pulse going up by 20 beats a minute (maybe because I hadn’t fired my GLOCK 22 in about 3 months due to ammunition being in short supply) and, two, that the range officers were extremely helpful in walk-ing me through the procedure. I was impressed that they didn’t dive for cover when I told them this was the first ever match I had ever done. The guys and gals were very professional and helpful. After the third string we went to count the holes. Unfor-tunately there were quite a few misses on targets. With one course behind me, I moved on to the GLOCK ‘M course and, once again, more friendly and helpful people. I did better on the GLOCK ‘M, but was still a little nervous. Several people told me to relax, have fun, and that I was only competing with myself. The last course for me was GLOCK the Plates. I spoke with a man from Houston to get as many tips as I could. After finishing the 4 strings, I told the range officer that the reason I left a couple of plates standing was that I felt bad for the guy having to reset them, having to lift all that weight at the same time. When I checked in


at the 5 to GLOCK I was asked if I was having fun yet and I told her I didn’t know enough to know if I was or not. By the end of the GLOCK the Plates, I wanted to go again and am looking forward to next year. I wish I could blame my poor score on my pistol but hey it’s a GLOCK. I think nerves and lack of practice is what caused my misses. I have set my bar, although somewhat low for most (by my count 289.68). Next year I’ll work on doing it better and try and follow the advice I got to slow down on the further targets. I went to the armorer on the way out and he must have been good because he told me how long I had the pistol just by looking at it. I left the match very glad that I had participated and confirming the fact that as great a pistol as GLOCKs are, the range officers and volunteers at this GSSF match were of the same caliber. While my scores are nothing to write home about and I know I’ll never be anywhere near the top of the list, I still am happy to show and tell my friends what I did and to encourage others to come with me next year. Thanks for having these matches, thanks for having the GSSF, and thanks to Gaston Glock for inventing a pistol good enough to be named after him.Yours trulyJOTexas

I have been a GLOCK fan since 1991 when I purchased the Model 22. I consider the GLOCK auto-pistols to be superb in its design. Through the years I’ve bought a few more, including the 17, 17L, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 30, 34, 35, 36, and 37. I got even farther when I drove to Jackson,

New Jersey and competed on the GSSF way back in 1995. I’ve shot every year in the competition except 1996. I was fortunate enough to be number 1 in the Amateur Division in 2004. I’ve also persuaded my friends who got into Sport Shooting to buy GLOCK pistols. They’re quite satisfied with GLOCK’s performance in the field. I am planning to buy a Generation 4 soon. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work. GLNew Jersey

Junior Submission I was 11 or 12 years old when I started to shoot at GSSF matches. I had just moved to Georgia and my dad decided we would do a couple of matches a year. I was nervous the first time I went to a match. I had never shot a pistol, but I had been hunting. When I shot the match, I had so much fun. I loved it so much. I didn’t score very well because it was my first time. My dad and many others told me that it was okay and that I would get better. I am now 15 and my scores have improved. I’ve learned many new things. When I first started, I would go fast because the other people did. I eventually realized that speed isn’t everything. Where you hit the target is much more important. Something that helped me was joining the rifle team at my high school. It helped me learn to take my time. Shooting in GSSF matches has also helped me with hunting and rifle team. I really enjoy shooting GSSF matches. They are the coolest thing ever. I plan to participate for as long as I can.FAGeorgia

Hello, my name is Cheri Brown and I am really excited about being asked to share my adventures with GLOCK Training and GSSF. I entered the world of GLOCK two years ago; I had come from a career in law enforcement and was really eager to start my new position in the Training Department. I have to admit my co-workers at GLOCK are awesome, they helped me adapt so fast to my new environment. Within a week of starting work, my boss asked me if I would like to work the games at the Conyers match. Trying to impress him, I said “sure, I would be happy to help”. He gave me a quick synopsis of GSSF and I hung on for the ride. After he explained everything I knew this was a family event where everyone could come and shoot and I would have fun. To relieve some of the uncertainty, he asked if I would like to bring my husband. I was thrilled. It was nice to have a weekend away from the kids and this match sounded like so much fun. Upon arriving, I met with my co-workers and we started setting up the games. My husband worked the corn-hole toss and I awarded the game prizes. Looking back at this experience, I can say we met some wonderful people. Everyone bragged about GLOCK and how much they loved being a member of GSSF. I met an older man and his wife and they could tell I was new. They educated me about GSSF and how many weapons and cash prizes they had won. They shared their love for GSSF because this was an event they could do together. They loved competing against each other and the lady was very giddy about how she often tied or beat her husband on the plates. I heard stories like this all day long. After the day

was over, we were fed a wonderful dinner and met the Gunny. The Gunny signed all kinds of things for everyone including my daughter, who was a big fan of the Gunny. The Gunny signed the autograph and told me to tell her to come out next year. By the time we were done that weekend, my husband and I were tired, but we had a wonderful time and were looking forward to the next year. The next year came and again we worked the match, this time we brought our son and daughter and they had a great time. They were impressed by all the kids they saw walking around with GLOCKs on their side. My son, who was seventeen at the time, stated that he would like to return and possibly compete in a match. I see now why parents love the fact their children attend these matches with them. In today’s time, it’s so hard to find an activity that will keep the interest of everyone and be so reasonable at the same time. About a month ago, I started to do some traveling with GSSF to matches outside of Georgia. I am working with some new people in GSSF. I have always shared an office with them but I have never worked with them before. Traveling and doing the administration duties has been a new learning experience. Everyone has been so patient. My GSSF mentor was a volunteer at the South Carolina match. She took me under her wing and walked me through everything at that first match and for that I will be forever grateful. I am very excited about this new chapter of GLOCK and I hope to see you soon at a match. Come up, say hi, and let me know about your experiences with GSSF. I would love to hear about them.
