W ith this edition, as we have at times in the past, we’d like to reviewthe GSSF year of shooting and some other shooting disciplines

where GLOCKS are making their presence known. Some new classes inother established shooting sports are giving more people around theworld more chances to shoot their GLOCKS!

We must say here that GSSF has had another record year!

and equipment. It has been said by IDPA match organizers that GLOCKS are one of the most popular makes in the Stock Service Division. It has certainly seemed that way in state championships and at the National Championships in 2000. Dave Sevigny, a GSSF member, useda G34 with Triton ammunition to capture numerous state championships, beginning with theIndooor Championships in Springfield, MA.

After numerous state championships won with the same G34, the season ended on a highnote with Dave and his trusty G34 winning 1st place Master in the SSP Division (2nd overall,the GLOCK outperforming numerous customized pistols!) If your interests include “practical”shooting, take your GLOCK and give these matches a try.

Speaking of practical shooting, “the grandaddy” discipline of that style of shooting,IPSC/USPSA, has created a new class where GLOCKS fit perfectly. The new class is known asProduction class, and the G17, for example, is already proving to be one of the more popularchoices. GLOCKS continue to be seen in Limited Divison where the G35 and other models continue to increase their numbers in this Division. Competitors Debbie Ross and MilfordLovett, Jr. will be GLOCK competitors to look for in their respective Divisions. If you likeaction, movement, and to shoot a lot, then try this game.

Steel target shooting, perhaps best represented by The Steel Challenge, sees its share of Glockpistols. This year, GLOCKS did well at this internationally famous event. Because of GLOCK pistols reliability and accuracy, competitors can concentrate on their shooting, safely and speedily. And once again, at the annual SOF Championships, where a number of steel targets areutilized, the LAPD Shooting Team used GLOCKs to take them to victory for the third year in a row.

In conclusion, we would like to sincerely thank all those who are competing with GLOCK pistols. We hope to see you on a range somewhere, sometime soon!

Pistol Giveaway WinnerVolume II, 2000

Pistol Giveaway WinnerI Made This Mistake…I n January, 1997 I was looking for a new concealed

carry gun. I’d been a revolver man for years, andreally liked my 4" .357 Magnum, but I was getting theitch for something more easily concealed. I alsothought I’d put off working with a semi-auto longenough. My problem—which one?

I had never shot a GLOCK, but they have becomealmost legendary for their reliability and durability. Ialso liked the fact that functionally, it might as well bea double-action revolver, as safety lies in the trigger,just as with my other guns. Still, I wasn’t sure. AGLOCK or a 1911 style semi? So I decided one Saturdayto go and look at some guns. I didn’t plan on buying onethat day—just planned to look, feel and compare.

Well, eventually I found myself at Lone Wolf Guns &Ammo, a shop with quite a selection of handguns,including many GLOCK models. After handling manyguns, I spotted a line of used G19s. Pre-ban, with 2 hi-cap magazines each. Factory refurbished, with warranty for $419. Looking them over, I found one withTrijicon night sights for the same price. OK, I can readfiery letters in the sky. Shortly, it was mine, along witha few boxes of PMC hardball.

After I got it home, I learned disassembly andreassembly, then loaded a magazine. It took 17 rounds.A G19 was supposed to hold only 15—what happened?That’s when I saw it on the slide—17. I had bought aG17, not a G19. Was this a mistake? No, it was OK. I’ma big enough guy to conceal a G17 as easily as a G19,no problem.

Sunday morning, my wife and I went to the range. Ifired the first magazine, and the gun functioned perfectly.Ditto the second. I reloaded both and asked my wife ifshe’d like to try it. Of course she did. So I explained howit functioned (didn’t take long), handed her the pistol,and she proceeded to run it dry. At that point she turnedto me and said, “Oh, this is great! Much better than myrevolver! When do we buy one for me?”

About an hour later, we were back at Lone Wolf, andshe was trying on a G26. Perfect fit. of course, so outthe door we go with another GLOCK. Altogether, wespent over $1,000 in those 2 days, but it was money wellspent. I’ve carried my G17 both open and concealeddaily, and my wife never shot her .38 Special revolveragain. The G26 makes an ideal CCW gun for her.

Oh, my MISTAKE? Letting my wife shoot myGLOCK! If we hadn’t bought her one of her own, I’d

never have gotten mine back! I truly don’t mind,though. I know my wife is armed with a tool we cantrust with our lives—one that she handles better thanher old gun and enjoys shooting much more. But boy,it took awhile for our bank account to recover.

P.S. I just learned today that GLOCK announced theirrefusal to capitulate to the gun-grabbers’ demands tosign the agreement that Smith & Wesson did. Good forGLOCK, and good for us! It confirms my belief inGLOCK as a defender of freedom. It makes me proud tobe a customer of such a company. It looks like my nextpistol will be a G30. I’ve always wanted a .45ACP, andthat other company certainly has nothing that I wantanymore. While we have not yet made it to a match,we’ve kept up our GSSF memberships, and will be sureto renew both this year.

Thank you, GLOCK. For your guns AND your guts.

GLOCK Lets You CompeteH ere I am, shooting my stock G17 at the Trenton

Fish & Game Club. I was shooting in the NRA2000 R1 Regional Action Pistol Championship, July14th-16th. It was only my second such competitionsince a GSSF match earlier in the summer. I was luckyenough to win the Stock Gun class at the Regional.

I am unwilling to pay a great deal of money for atricked-out race gun. GLOCK’s unique design allowsme to participate without worrying about specialsafeties, and it is so reliable that it never jams. Thesefeatures give me a small chance of competing, and Ithought you would be interested to know this.

Thanks for a great product, and a great newsletter.

Help This GLOCKoholic!The purpose of this correspondence is to gain your

assistance in locating a GLOCKoholics Anonymouschapter near Rochester, MN. I was recently diagnosedas a GLOCKoholic by a clinical psychologist at a local clinic, and was informed that I should attend GAmeetings to begin a 12-step program.

For your information, symptoms of GLOCKoholismconsist of one or more of the following:

1. Shooting GLOCK handguns exclusively.

2. Being contemptuous and dismissive of all othermakers and models of handguns.

3. Losing friends at the local gun clubs by outshootingtheir $2,000 combat custom gee-whiz pistol withyour $500 stock piece of polymer perfection.

4. Extolling the virtues of Safe-Action, Tennifer finish and polygon barrels to anyone who will listen.

5. Having more than three GLOCKs in your gun safeand having intrusive thoughts/daydreams aboutgetting more.

In that I met most of the criteria above, my counselorrecommended that I find a local GA chapter.Additionally, he felt that I was well on my way with the 12-step program, as I currently own 6 GLOCKs(another 6, and I should be cured).

Your assistance in this matter would be greatlyappreciated, because I would like to associate withothers who recognize perfection when they see it.

A Lifetime with GSSFIwould like to thank GSSF for offering a lifetime

membership. The price is a bargain at any age. TheGSSF membership has grown so large that a lifetimemembership benefits both GSSF and its members—less paperwork for the GSSF staff, and less of a chanceof an individual’s membership expiring. I know of nobetter way to support GSSF than purchasing a lifemembership for yourself or a loved one.

Providing the opportunity to use a stock firearm atany skill level and improve your marksmanship, aswell as have a great time with family and friends, iscertainly the best idea in the shooting sports yet.

No More New GLOCKs!M y wife and I recently shot in our 3rd and 4th

GSSF matches. As usual, we had terrific times,which were over way too soon.

The only complaint I have about GLOCK is that youkeep changing the styles of the firearms. Just when I

think I have all the GLOCKs a man could want, youbring out something different that I can’t live without.STOP! PLEASE! You take a perfectly fine shooting armand make it better. You add finger grooves to the gripframe, rails for attachments (which cost money) andintroduce new models that are so appealing thatthey’re difficult to resist.

When will it stop? My wife asks me “How many guns are enough?”, and I truly don’t know the answerto that when it comes to owning GLOCKs. I really do have a love/hate relationship with GLOCK. Keep upthe good work!

A Great First Match!P lease pass along our thanks to all the great

GSSF folks who did so much to help my son and me enjoy our first competitive shoot (Hallsville,MO, 2000).

We were both a little intimidated by the whole thing,since we’d never done anything like it before and haveno formal training in shooting skills. The staff workedso hard to ensure our confidence. My son and I learneda lot from the staff and the other shooters.

The armorers were terrific. We had our gunsinspected, a magazine updated and stood gawking asthey made every GLOCK they touched “fly apart” andback together in minutes!

We’re certainly hooked on GSSF now! We’ll see youin Lexington, KY in October.

Best wishes and many thanks.

GLOCKHere and AbroadI ’m working as a civilian police officer in Kosovo for

the United Nations. I retired from LAPD after 26years, and then worked for the Island County Sheriff’sDepartment in Washington State. I own 5 GLOCK pistols, and carried my own G22 on duty in IslandCounty. I own over 50 handguns, and could carry anyone of them. I carry GLOCK, because it is by far thebest choice for law enforcement.

Here in Kosovo, I’m required to carry the issuedweapon, the Beretta 92F with ball ammo. The 92F is agood weapon, but my choice is still GLOCK.

The photo is of my partner in the new Kosovo PoliceService. He is very happy to be armed with a G19 andthe new GLOCK Safety Duty Holster. I’m veryimpressed with the new holster, and I’m ordering twofor my GLOCKs. When my 1-year contract ends soon, Iwill be glad to go home and start carrying my GLOCKpistols again in the good old U.S.A.

A Grand MistakeCorrectedIn December, 1986 the Marshall County Sheriff’s

Department in Kansas had the opportunity to test G17s before possibly purchasing them for the

department. They were skeptical about the “new plastic-type gun.” During the testing they froze it, drove over itin a Ford Bronco and dropped it from a two-story window. It didn’t fail once. They decided to purchasethem. Shortly after that, the Sheriff took his new G17 toorientation training, and had to qualify with it. Theweather was very cold and rainy. While the only twoGLOCKs carried at the training session had no troubleperforming in the adverse weather conditions, severalother models jammed or malfunctioned.

In 1994 I joined the department, and the 9 year oldG17s shot as accurately as they did the day they werepurchased. In March, 1995 they traded the G17s for thenew G23. It proved to be just as dependable a gun asthe G17. I went full time in June, 1995, and in May, 1998I became the department’s first armorer. The GLOCK isthe easiest and quickest weapon I’ve ever worked onor cleaned.

Over the last few years, all of the departments in ourcounty have switched to GLOCKs. The MarysvillePolice Department decided to go with the bigger G21.They used this gun until the city hired a new Chief ofPolice, and he traded six G21s for six Smith & WessonSigma .40 calibers, originally purchased by his olddepartment in Kansas City in 1997. All six of theSigmas had to be returned to the factory because ofmalfunctions—good investment!

The City of Marysville hired me as their new PoliceChief on April 18, 1999. One of my first official acts wasto ask the city to replace the Sigmas. After pointing outthe Sigmas’ failures and the city’s liability, I was gladlygiven permission to buy eight new GLOCKs to replacethe six Sigmas. I ordered two more GLOCKs for myreserve officers, as well. I called Joe Lienemann, theGLOCK District Manager for Kansas. Joe brought several models for me to test. We decided on the G22Cwith night sights. This weapon had everything we werelooking for. Needless to say, the trade-in allowance forthe Sigmas wasn’t much, but we felt lucky to get whatwe did. Simply knowing that we once again had adependable and durable weapon at our sides wasworth paying the extra money. The “Grand Mistake”had been corrected.

The funniest thing is that a couple of weeks ago, myold chief called me and asked for Joe’s phone number,so that he could outfit his new department in Missouri.I guess he finally realized, and admitted to his mistake.

My family, friends and I all own GLOCKs as personalweapons, and plan to shoot in a GSSF match in 2000.Thanks for the most dependable weapons I’ve ever shot.

Meant to Own a GLOCKL et me begin by applauding Mr. Paul Jannuzzo’s

efforts to keep the “oversight commission” awayfrom GLOCK. I have just finished reading the articleTwo Gun Makers Reject Safety Locks on USA Today’s

website (3/22/00), and I, along with countless GLOCKowners, appreciate this decision. Way to go, Mr.Jannuzzo! We already have thousands of gun laws onthe books—why not enforce them?

I am a new gun owner, and before deciding to buyone I did some research. I read a lot of articles on different handguns, and I have tested quite a few at anearby indoor range. I must confess that I was partialto GLOCKs from the start, and even before doing anyresearch, my inclination was to purchase a GLOCK. Ispent all those research hours just to find out myinstincts were right. Now, the only problem was to findthe right caliber. The G22C was perfect! I have shotabout 1,000 rounds without a single jam. I have alsoaccidently dropped the gun from a height of about 4 feet—it did not go off, and it did not damage thehardware. I like the way it looks, the finish and its concepts. I honestly believe that this gun will outlastme. The bottom line is that I am very satisfied with it.

I will say to future handgun owners: Owning a gun

is a big responsibility. Buying a GLOCK shows

that you are responsible. GLOCK is synonymous

with responsibility.

GLOCKing all the way.

Sport Shooting ConvertA t work I am known as a GLOCK fanatic. If we

don’t talk GLOCK, we don’t talk. My wife is thereal trooper, though. She patiently listens to all I haveto say, and has now taken an interest in shooting andin our GLOCKs. Being British and having never beenexposed to the positive aspects of shooting andfirearm ownership (the media in the U.K. is as anti-gunas in the U.S.), she used to tell me to buy whatever Iwanted, showing no particular interest.

Recently, however, she took me up on my offer togo to the range together. After some instruction andfamiliarization, she tried her hand with the G26. Afterfiring only three rounds, she became discouraged,thinking she was missing the entire 10 yard target. Herfirst round was a miss to the lower left. After furtherinspection, we found the other two to be hits stackedon top of each other, approximately 1" above perfectcenter. Her confidence restored, she fired the rest ofthe ammo with tremendous results. Sport that she is,she even tried the G20.

She has now claimed the G26 as hers, and we plan tospend more quality time together at the range. Many thanks.

A GLOCK Family FeelingI recently purchased my first GLOCK this spring—a

new G17. Like many people here in Maine, I grew upfishing, hunting and just enjoying the great outdoors.My family is also very important to me. Shortly after Ibought the GLOCK, my wife’s father came to stay withus for a few weeks. He’s a great guy, and I love him, but outside of family, we haven’t found anything wemutually enjoy.

One lazy Saturday afternoon, he and I got to talkingabout our experiences with family, camping, fishing,hunting and so on. The conversation then drifted to myrecent GLOCK acquisition. He’d never seen a GLOCKbefore, let alone fired one. Well, one thing led to another,and we headed out to my favorite shooting area. We eachused up a brick of shells that afternoon, talking andadmiring the fine craftsmanship of the GLOCK. It wasalmost like drinking a bottle of fine wine. Enjoying eachshot, appreciating and commenting on the balance, fineaim and light recoil of the GLOCK.

I want to thank all of the people at GLOCK whohave created a product that captures the imaginationand hearts of people. These are the things that helpbring family together. That’s what happened betweenmy father-in-law and me that Saturday. Here’s to manymore such Saturdays. Thank you, GLOCK!

New GLOCK ShooterEarly this year, a young neighbor woman asked me if

I would teach her to shoot a pistol. She was finish-ing her last year in college—studying for a Bachelor ofScience degree in Criminal Justice. She wanted to be inlaw enforcement and decided she should learn to shoot.

I introduced her to the G22. She was a very good student and quickly learned the safety protocols, propersight picture, trigger control and even the disassemblyand cleaning of the G22. We started shooting once aweek at the local range. She was soon shooting the X-Rings out at 7 and 10 yards. We moved back to 15yards and she continued to shoot well, if not fast.

When she asked how she could “pay me” for all thehelp and shooting instructions, I told her to join theNRA. I also told her about the GSSF Lone Star ClassicIX match, and that she needed to join GSSF. Sheagreed, and said she wanted to shoot the match in May.

We shot the Lone Star Classic IX match on Saturday,May 6th. I don’t know the scores yet, but I know sheshot very well. She didn’t leave a steel plate standing,and most of her D-1 targets were X and Zero rings. Yes,there were a few +2s and +5s, but not many. She didn’tshoot fast, but she shot well! We had a great time, andare looking forward to the next match.

My neighbor graduated with Honors from TarletonState University on May 19, 2000, receiving a Bachelorof Science degree in Criminal Justice. She will beattending the Texas Department of Public SafetyAcademy in the fall. Her ultimate goal is a career inFederal law enforcement, but no matter what happens,I think she will always own a GLOCK. As she says, “Itis the best and most reliable handgun available.”

I’m happy to have helped her to become a “NewGLOCK Shooter,” and an NRA and GSSF member.

Unlimited G24For the past six years or so, I have been competing

in local IDPA- and IPSC-type shooting events,along with the annual GSSF match, in which I partici-pate faithfully. My pistol of choice in limited classshooting events has been a GLOCK and I have com-peted regularly with a G22, G23, G24 and G35, allchambered for the .40 S&W cartridge.

After having achieved my goals as a limited classshooter, I wanted to try my hand at unlimited classcompetition. While other competitive shooters tend tobuild their “race guns” on frames made by other pistolmanufacturers, I wondered just how efficiently aGLOCK would perform with the additional equipmentrequired for this class of competition.

My unlimited pistol is a G24 longslide and a TascoProPoint red-dot scope with a GLOCKMEISTER scopemount and magazine well. Nothing more has beenadded or done to the pistol, and, needless to say, it hasperformed flawlessly. In just four weeks with my G24,I was able to secure the three wins necessary toadvance and keep pace with other unlimited shooters.

The versatility of GLOCK pistols seems endless, andI now shoot them exclusively. Thanks to Mr. GastonGlock for his innovation, and to GSSF for promotingsuch a wonderful sport with such a versatile pistol.

An R.O. SpeaksThis past weekend, I had the pleasure of competing

in the Long Island Regional Classic for the fourthtime. I also served as a range officer for the second time.I want to thank Chris Edwards and his crew for theusual top-notch job they did in putting on this match.

The match was not without its problems, however.With over 200 entries, it seemed that most of theentrants showed up between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM onSaturday. Also, we had fewer volunteers for R.O. dutythis year, so we couldn’t spare workers to just keeptrack of score sheets and answer questions for the people waiting. Add to that the fact that more competitors are shooting in multiple categories, andyou start to get extended waiting times.

I have to say that most people were gracious andunderstanding, but we did get a few folks who got prettyvocal— even one who went so far as to grab a rangewalkie-talkie and complain to the match director.

Without trying to sound like I’m patting myself onthe back, I hope everyone realizes that the R.O.s arevolunteers who’ve given up their weekends to comeout and support the shooting sports. We do our best tokeep things moving along, and I’ve never seen anyonedragging their feet at these matches. Keep in mind thatthe number one responsibility of an R.O. is SAFETY.The shooter on the line may be a Grand Master or afirst-time competitor (or a first-time shooter, for thatmatter), but he or she deserves our full attention. Thelast thing we need is a distraction that leads to tragedy.

My thanks go out to all of the participants whoassisted by taping targets and just generally helping tomove things along. I don’t recall anyone leaving ourstage without saying thanks, or being wished goodluck by my partner and me.

Let’s keep in mind that GLOCK has been one ofshooting sports’ greatest allies. Their courageousstand in the face of the government’s extortion tacticsis something we should all support. One way to do thisis to ensure that the GSSF matches remain incident-free, and continue to be as much fun as they’ve alwaysbeen.

GSSF OnlineA t first I had no desire for a GLOCK. Then, after

shooting a G19, I was hooked and purchased myfirst G19 in December, 1997. Shortly after that I joinedGSSF, but did not compete until May, 1999 inRichmond, Virginia. I enjoyed the match so much thatI became a Lifetime Member that very month.

I was so impressed with the fellowship and spirit ofhelpfulness that I petitioned www.glocktalk.com toadd a GSSF Forum. It was added and was a year old inSeptember. GSSF members from across the country

have found the site and share their knowledge withnewer members of GSSF.

I now try to shoot at least six matches a year. Afterwatching American Shooter, my wife may compete.All I have to do is win her a GLOCK. I offer a specialthank-you to Gaston Glock for making GSSF possible,and another to the GSSF staff members, whose longhours and many travel miles are appreciated by all thecompetitors.

Stubborn No MoreWhen I first became interested in the shooting

sports, I was stubborn. I convinced myself that Iwanted a 1911 style pistol. Despite my gun dealer’s recommendation to buy a GLOCK, I ordered an expen-sive 1911 pistol that I thought was a premium brand.When it arrived a few weeks later, I took it to the rangeexpecting nothing but the best. However, I quicklyfound out this 1911 was far from the best. The very firstround jammed rather solidly, at an angle in the chamber.The magazine was jammed in the gun as well. Luckily, Iwas able to shake the round loose by pointing the gundown-range, holding the slide back and turning the 1911upside down. The 1911 continued to jam round afterround. I did manage to fire it a few times. I took it apartand noticed that the barrel ramp was machined off-center, and at an angle. There was no chance for a roundto chamber. I quickly sent it back to the factory. The factory representative called my house and offered arefund or a repair job. I took the money.

Still stubborn, I was back at the dealer buying anotherexpensive, “premium” 1911 pistol. This gun functionedfine, but was showing premature signs of wear. The slidewas made of stainless steel. Apparently, the steel was toosoft—the slide stop notch was rounding off and beginningto fold back at the corners. Moreover, both the front andrear sights became loose. Not good performance from anexpensive pistol. Back to the dealer it went.

I was no longer stubborn. I purchased my firstGLOCK, a G26. I was amazed at the GLOCK’s accuracyand quality. In addition, I was impressed that it was soeasy to field strip and clean, compared to a 1911. MyG26 always performed perfectly. I bought the G26 in 1998. In June of this year I bought another fineGLOCK, a G21. Again, perfection. It is highly accurateand dependable. I am happy to say that yesterday Ipurchased a third GLOCK pistol, a G23. I haven’t fired it yet, but I know it will perform perfectly. Theregistration card is in the mail. Thanks for making finely engineered, high quality pistols. It is no wonderthat GLOCK enjoys the fine reputation it has.
