InsideInsideGLOCK unveiled the new model GLOCK 36

at its North American head-quarters in January and withit ushered in a new era forshooting enthusiasts. Thenew compact model G36 —GLOCK’s new “Slimline” pistol — is designed around asingle-stack magazine thatholds six plus one (6+1)rounds of potent .45 Auto(ACP) ammunition in a pack-age that fits the hand ofalmost any shooter. GLOCKhas slimmed the width of theG36 to an incredible 1.13inches, making it 0.05 inchesthinner at its widest pointthan the already-popular GLOCK subcompact models G26/G27/G33.

The new G36 debuted commercially at S.H.O.T. Show 1999 held this February 1stthrough 4th at the Georgia World Congress Center in GLOCK’s hometown of Atlanta,Georgia. Interested dealers caught a glimpse of the new G36 at GLOCK’s booth and pickedup literature on GLOCK’s entire product line.

Renowned for its safety, accuracy, reliability, durability, and ease of use GLOCK’sproven “Safe Action” technology has now been applied to the grip-slimming single-stackmagazine concept. The result should come as no surprise: The GLOCK system makesshooting the high-performance .45 Auto a pleasure, while the reduced width of the finger-grooved grip frame, ambidextrous thumb rests and extended magazine floor platemake handling the G36 a breeze!

“The G36 is incredibly controllable, even given its small size,” said Chris Edwards,GLOCK’s Director of Training. “It’s notably accurate and should be especially easy to conceal under any condition.” Edwards went on to remark that the gun has the inherent accuracy of the G30 and will come to be considered the premier sub-compact .45 auto pistol.

Designed with a barrel length of 3.78 inches, an overall length of 6.77 inches and anoverall height (including magazine) of 4.76 inches, the G36 is identical in profile to thepopular G30. However, when viewed from any other angle, the similarity fades. With awidth of only 1.13 inches, the G36 has become the slimmest GLOCK to date.

Like all GLOCK Safe Action Pistols, The G36 is shipped with a locking device. The lockis included to promote and facilitate safe home storage.

The new GLOCK model G36 will again change what shooters have come to expectfrom a stock pistol and further blurs the line between out-of-the-box stock pistols andexpensive custom pistols.

Match and Awards Policy ChangesMatch and Awards Policy ChangesLadies and gentlemen, we have seen here at the beginningof our season an unprecedented expansion of the numberof competitor entries at GSSF matches. As some of youare aware, this has caused some waiting and we wouldlike to attempt to alleviate some of that so GSSF is asmuch fun as it can be. The following policy therefore willimmediately go into effect:

COMPETITOR ENTRIES AND SCORESHEET HANDLING POLICY:In an effort to be as fair as possible to all competitors, and to increase efficiency at GSSF matches, competitorsentering in more than two classes, (e.g., Amateur Civilian,Subcompact, Unlimited and Competition) will be requiredto compete with only two classes of GLOCKS per call to thefiring position. In other words, only two sets of scoresheets

will be accepted by the Range Officer in the interest of fairness and efficiency. If a competitor wishes to competein more than two classes, they are welcome to do so, but acompetitor should complete only two “passes” at any onestage at one time. The Rangemaster will be responsible forany decisions regarding exceptions to this policy.

CLARIFICATION OF “JUNIOR” CATAGORY AWARDSIn order that there is no misunderstanding or unfortunateconsequences for a Junior competitor who finishes first inany class where a GLOCK is awarded in GSSF matches,Junior competitors will receive a $250 Savings Bond shouldthey place first in the general prize schedule in any class.

GSSF thanks you in advance for your support, under-standing and cooperation in these areas. Safe shooting!

Pistol Giveaway WinnerAt Home in GSSF

I completed my second GSSF match in Anderson,South Carolina this past year. I had only shot a few

times before the match, and was not sure what toexpect. I was very nervous. When my friend and Ishowed up, there were a lot of men and very few

women or young girls. I just knew I was going toembarrass myself, but my friend assured me thateverything would be all right. When I shot the firststage the Range Officer was very friendly and helpful.He went out of his way to make a nervous girl feel rightat home.

I found the plates to be my greatest challenge, andliterally beat myself up mentally before this particularstage. However, I found the GSSF staff to be encourag-ing and helpful. They were supportive and gave me theconfidence I needed to keep going. In addition, had itnot been for my friend patiently working countlesshours with me. I would never have known how muchfun the GSSF matches are.

Thank you, GLOCK, for sponsoring such enjoyableand encouraging events in which anyone can partici-pate.

Neighborly Rivalry

In September, 1998, the first annual police departmentcompetition match between bordering towns

Bedford and Lexington, Massachusetts was held. Bothdepartments are armed with GLOCK .40 caliber safe-action pistols. The officers shot at both paper targets andmetal plates.

When the results were tallied at the conclusion of thematch, the Lexington Police Department was declaredthe winner. The Lewis System was used to allow every-one a chance of winning. Through the generosity of aWaltham, MA company, prizes were given to each teamand the winning department was awarded a team trophy.

After the match a cookout was held—these matcheswere begun to give members of the neighboring depart-ments the opportunity to get to know one another.

Enclosed please find a photograph of the match officers. Armorers for both agencies are GLOCKarmorer school graduates.

We are looking forward to our next match, scheduledfor June, 1999.

Better InformedBravo! The GSSF 1999 Reference Edition may be

the best GLOCK Report yet. The increased detailabout how the stages and matches should be run willmake GSSF events run more smoothly and quickly foreveryone. I know I received conflicting advice onstages last year while at the same event. As long asfolks read the published stage directions, there shouldbe no more confusion.

I know it takes an extra effort to be this thorough,but I’m sure it will make events more consistently anduniversally fun. Now, if only there were a way to getthe results the same day…

Thanks for putting on a great event!

Member’s CornerMember’s CornerReliable in the RoughIam writing this letter to tout the durability and relia-

bility of GLOCK pistols during months of hard use ina very cold climate. In preparation for GSSF matches, Ihave constructed a range in the woods behind my houseon which I have accurately reproduced the 5-7-9 andGLOCK the Plates stages. I simply photocopied 8'' blackcircles to use as the targets—since that is the 10 ringsize, if I hit the black I am shooting a perfect score.

Anyway, I have been practicing all winter, snowshoe-ing the half mile out to the range almost every day toshoot one string of each stage. Many times, the temperatures were well below freezing, and sometimesbelow zero. When I came inside, my G17L would becomecompltely wet with condensation. In all those sessions itnever failed to work flawlessly, although I can’t say thesame for my often frozen hands and timer! Further, noharm to my GLOCK has ever resulted from the radicaltemperature changes and soaking condensation. In addi-tion to the range practices, I dry fire indoors 200 timesdaily, and not once have I had a problem with the gun

I have to say that I am saddened to hear that you havedropped the G17L from your product line. I am glad Ihave one, and would buy another in a second if theopportunity presented itself.

I look forward to putting all this off-season training tothe test at the Topton, Pennsylvania GSSF match. Now if Ican only shoot my practice times under match pressure…

Hooked On GSSFE nclosed please find my registration form and fee

for the match in Carrollton, Texas. I joined GSSFtoo late last year to make that match, but I did manageto get to San Antonio in December for my first-everGSSF competition. What fun! Due to a slight case ofnerves, I finished 92 out of 102 in the Amateur Civilianclass. Now that I have done it and understand how itworks, I hope to do better on my next try. I’ve got a lotof room for improvement.

I have read several letters in the GLOCK Reportabout how friendly and helpful everyone, staff and vol-unteer alike, is at the GSSF events, and the writersweren’t kidding. The case of nerves I spoke of abovewould have been worse had it not been for the help andinterest the Range Officers running the match showedto me and the other participants.

Now that I’ve done this once and seen what fun it is,I’m hooked. I would encourage everyone who, like mefor awhile, just reads the results in the GLOCK Reportand thinks they would be in over their head or

embarrassed shooting a match to try it—I promiseyou’ll like it. If nothing else, It amounts to a day ofshooting fun with your favorite handgun and getting toknow folks who share an interest in the best—GLOCK.

My Baby and MeThis 10-shot imprint of my “Baby 26,” shot standing

double-handed at 10 yards convinced me to joinmy first-ever handgun competition—the GSSF/ISIBallistic Challenge held last October in Piru, California.Not surprisingly, I showed my inexperience in one ofthe stages—the GLOCK “M,” where I failed to fully seatmy magazine after chambering one round from a strip-per. Needless to say, “we” did not win anything, but“we” had so much fun that it was well worth the trip.

With the new Amateur Subcompact category in“our” sights, expect to see “us,” my baby and me, in thisyear’s match. After a year together, “we” hope to domuch better this time. Thank you, and more power toyour great organization.

I try my best to compete in the Desert Showdown inMesa, Arizona, but my travel schedule sometimes

takes me out of town over the weekend. Last year Ieven prepaid and still had to miss it at the last minute!

I purchased my factory remanufactured G17 in 1995here in Phoenix, Arizona. I promptly went through myconcealed carry course training—I’m happy to reportthat I haven’t had to shoot my pistol for anything otherthan pleasure in the last four years.

I’m enclosing a newspaper article about a local concealed carry permit holder who helped apprehendthree criminals with his own G31.

Appreciates GSSFFirst, let me say that I thoroughly enjoy shooting in

GSSF competition. I have attended matches inIndianapolis and Lexington, and found your staff andthe hosts to have the impeccable manners to go alongwith their impeccable safety records. In addition to theGLOCK matches, I also shoot in the IDPA using a stockG19 with factory sights. I was able to place second inthe sharpshooter division in the Illinois state finals.Much of that is due to the reliability and shootability ofyour pistol.

I am looking forward to this summer, when I hope tohave the opportunity to participate in several GSSFmatches.

Beware of THE GLOCK VIRUS!

Two friends of mine and I shoot in local combat,PPC and bowling pin matches. We also have

concealed carry permits. At first, we weren’t interested

in what we called “plastic guns.” We had no idea wewould soon be infected with THE GLOCK VIRUS!

I was the first to become infected after shooting theRange Officer’s G23 at a local combat competition. Iliked the feel, reliability and accuracy of the GLOCK. Inow own a G19, G20 and G24C, and shot in the GSSFBluegrass Regional Classic last year.

It wasn’t long before my shooting buddies caughtthe virus from me! One now owns a G21 and G26, andis going to buy a G19 shortly. The other owns a G17 andG24C, and says his next gun purchase will be a G26.

You never know when or where THE GLOCK

VIRUS will strike! By the way…if you’re reading this,you’re probably already infected!!!

Match Box

W henever I’m at a GLOCK match, I receivepositve comments on my “GSSF Match Box.” I

thought I’d send you this letter and a photo. There maybe others doing this, but I have not seen any like mineduring the past three years.

It provides a comfortable seat wherever I am, andhas room enough inside to carry ammo, magazines,sunscreen, First Aid kit, snacks, towels, etc.

With carriage bolts, I attached two lengths of PVCpipe to the underside. These serve as water bottle car-riers. I just freeze the bottles overnight before a match.The box itself shades the bottles, keeping them frommelting too quickly. This provides ice water all day.

It’s another Pistol People idea worth sharing.

Welcome to ColoradoI received Volume I, 1999, of the GLOCK Report

today. I enjoy it very much, had hope you will givesome thought to putting it out monthly, or even bi-monthly.

The letter “I Sold My GLOCK!” struck a chord withme, as I have had other semi-autos that would not firean entire box of shells without a jam, or hold up torepeated firing on the range. I believe in MasaadAyoob’s recommendation that you not trust a pistoluntil you can fire 200 rounds through it without a misfire of any kind.

I am happy to say that I have now put over 600rounds through my G22 without one failure! And this iswith many different brands and styles of bullets. I thinknext on my list will be the G30. I have read many glow-ing reports of this pistol, and I can’t wait to try one.

I was surprised and pleased to see that the RockyMountain Regional Classic V will be held here in

Colorado. My wife and I expect to attend and extend awelcome to all of you who can be here.

To those of you who can attend, please pay closeattention to the map printed on page 25 of Volume I ofthe GLOCK Report, because at the top of the map itgives an address of Weld County Fish & Wildlife Range,Fort Collins, CO. However, Fort Collins is in LarimerCounty, and the Weld County F&W Range is actually inWeld County, and a good 30-35 miles east of FortCollins (the instructions on the map itself are correct).The closest motels for those of you who plan to attendare in Greeley, about 10 miles from the range. Forthose of you who wish to stay in Fort Collins, there arealso many fine motels, and you will be only 30-35 milesaway.

If any of you is able to spend a few days in our lovely state, you may wish to contact the GreeleyChamber of Commerce, 902 7th Avenue, Greeley, CO80631, (970) 352-3566, for information on area attractions and names of motels. The address for theFort Collins Chamber of Commerce is: 225 S. Meldrum,Fort Collins, CO 80521, (970) 482-3746.

Kudos to the GSSF Folks

T his is a short note of thanks for the jobs the people of GSSF are doing for its members. I

participated in my first GSSF match in April, 1993 inSouthern California. Since then, I have been able toattend seven matches and have always had a positiveexperience. This due in no small part to the staff andvolunteers of GSSF.

First, let me thank the volunteers who run the stations. These folks are always friendly and helpful. Ifyou take heed of the shooting tips they offer, any ofyou shooters can improve your performance.

Second, the armorers are a GLOCK owner’s bestfriend. I always see them before I shoot a match. Ifparts are worn out, they replace them. If upgrades havebeen recommended, they install them. If your firearmis dirty, they clean it. If you need cleaning, lubricationor GLOCK care advice, you will get what you need witha smile.

Lastly, thanks to the staff for putting on theseevents. A second place finish in class B in 1994 paid myentry fees for my next five GSSF matches.

I thought youmight like to

see my husband’slatest GLOCK. Thisone was carvedfrom wood, andmakes a really neat lamp for hisGLOCK room. Wedo have severalreal ones, as weboth shoot incompetition. Myhusband has sev-eral trophies fromIDPA and tacticalmatches, as well as

having won two guns at GSSF events. I have a few ladies’wins with my G17. We have enjoyed the GSSF matchesfor several years and are very appreciative of the oppor-tunities that GLOCK and GSSF provide for the shootingsports. We also appreciate the hard work and dedicationof all involved in putting on these events.

I see a few more shooters at our local club matcheswho have joined the GLOCK Brigade, some after a lotof disparaging remarks in the past. So, “The CreamRises to the Top!”

As a last thought, if I may make a suggestion, howabout raising the age for Seniors (we are both 69)?

A Moving Experience

I t is with deepest gratitude that I am writing this letterto you today. I have owned four GLOCK pistols, and

have competed in two GSSF matches in the past threeyears. While attending Desert Showdown VII in Mesa,Arizona, I had a unique and very special experience.

The day before the match, there had been an officer-involved shooting in which a SWAT officer from aneighboring city was killed. When I heard the story Iwas saddened by the event. The following day at thematch, I discovered that the Range Officer on the fungun stage was a SWAT officer who had been on theentry team right behind the officer who was killed. AsI loaded magazines and prepared for the stage, I hadthe privilege of hearing this officer recount the eventsof the previous day. In those few minutes the storybecame much more personal. He described seeing theofficer go down and trying to grab his flak vest to pull

him back. As he did so, he saw a young girl hidingbehind the sofa, crying. Thinking of his own smalldaughter, he wrapped his arms around the child andsprinted for safety, fully expecting to be the gunman’snext victim. Thankfully, the shots he expected nevercame. The suspect was killed in the ensuing gun battleand no one else was injured.

Not one of the reports on TV and in the newspapershas been able to affect me as profoundly as the RangeOfficer did that day. This experience has made the dan-ger faced and courage displayed by law enforcementpersonnel more of a reality to me than any reporter’swords could ever do. Thanks to GSSF, I was givensomething that the rest of the public missed out on.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to interactwith these officers in such a personal setting. Both thestaff and the competitors are some of the greatestfolks around. If more people were able to hear what Iheard, there might be less annoyance with a trafficticket and more appreciation for a dangerous job beingvery well done.

As far as my GLOCKs go, I have sold my three previous pistols to close friends who are shooting companions. So far I have been unable to get them tocome to a match with me, but there is always next year!

Nothing But Praise

What a match! Just got back from my first GSSFmatch in Carrollton, TX and had a blast! Not

knowing what to expect at this first match, I was a little apprehensive about driving the considerable distance to the match. However, after this experience,I am already making plans for future GSSF matches,regardless of the distance involved.

I was very impressed with the range, GSSF staff andnumber of competitors. The various courses were both challenging and fun to shoot. The format of thematch resulted in minimal waiting between courses offire, and the staff was extremely helpful with eachcompetitor.

Once again, GLOCK has outdone itself with GSSF—a unique and fun addition to the shooting sports! I can’twait for the next match.

As you have no doubt read or heard bynow, approximately 20 cities and

counties have filed suit against the firearmindustry. Following the lead of the largestdealer in used guns in all of Louisiana,Mayor Mark Morial of New Orleans, themayors and county executives haveallowed themselves to become blinded bydollar signs. They have been convincedthat these dollars await them at the end of the litigation rainbow by big tobaccoattorneys who have taken their Sue-the-Gunmakers travelling road show acrossthe country. In the past, this sort of beggingfor clients was known as champery andwas an ethical offense for lawyers.However, aided by the attorneys for theCenter to Prevent Handgun Violence, formerly the Coalition to Ban Handguns,they have unabashedly solicited clients inmost any city that has not been able toaddress its financial and crime problems.These city executives who have obviouslystretched their meager imaginations andbudgets to the max have thrown up theircollective hands and abdicated their citiesto criminals.

No, I do not believe that is too harsh a characterization of what these politiciansare attempting to do. In effect, they areabsolving criminals of their actions and arelooking for a scapegoat. And, since thereare lawyers involved, they are looking for ascapegoat with deep pockets.

Are the city and county executives look-ing for money? You bet they are. Just freshfrom feeding at the trough of free tobaccomoney, they cannot begin to control theirgreed. However, there is another equally

compelling motivation for these mayors.To a man and woman, they have been anti-gun, anti-second amendment their wholecareers. Those who held seats in their statelegislatures before becoming mayors of theparticular cities in suit were always infavor of new gun control laws. Others, likeMayor Daley of Chicago and Mayor Ganimof Bridgeport, practically froth at themouth when they speak on the subject. Thehate they harbor for an inanimate objectborders on the irrational. And, typical of left-leaning politicians, they direct all theirvenom at the inanimate object and absolvethe criminals. They no doubt feel that thefault lies with society—we have somehowfailed these criminals, and therefore we cannot hold them directly responsible.And, woe is me, we cannot put them in jailbecause the jails are too crowded and,after all, it is not the criminal’s fault.

There are many difficult decisions thatmust be made when crafting a workablecriminal justice system. Unfortunately forus, it is crafted and voted upon by politi-cians. And we know we can always counton that particular breed to make all theeasy decisions. Such as suing the manufac-turers of a product that is unpopular withsome constituencies.
