GLOCK unveiled new pistols in January at the 2010 SHOT Show in Las Vegas —

the G22 Gen4 and G17 Gen4. The G22 Gen4 in .40 caliber and G17 Gen4 (Generation4) in 9x19 were featured in the GLOCK booth and in an article in the 2010 GLOCK Annual. Look for additional information in other firearms publications soon.

The Gen4 has several new features designed to satisfy the most demanding consumers. Most noticeably, the Gen4 design has a multiple backstrap system that allows the user to change the circumference of the grip to better fit their individual hand size. The grip has three options; a short frame version, medium frame and large frame backstraps that are easily changed and secured with a single pin.

The magazine release catch of the Gen4 is reversible and enlarged. The reversible magazine catch allows users to switch access of the catch to the left or right side of the pistol with no additional parts.

Internally, the original recoil spring assembly has been replaced with a dual recoil spring assembly. The dual recoil spring assembly noticeably reduces recoil and muzzle flip while simultaneously increasing the life cycle of the spring and pistol.

Additionally, the Gen4 has a new Rough Textured Frame (RTF) surface designed to

enhance grip traction and is present on the frame as well as the

interchangeable backstraps.During recent grueling

endurance testing and at the SWAT Round Up International competition, several police agencies had a chance to handle and shoot the new pistols and many positive

comments were made about the design changes. Gary

Fletcher, Vice President of GLOCK, Inc. mentioned that

“GLOCK, Inc.’s dedication to perfection has made GLOCK the chosen firearm for many law enforcement agencies around the world. The Gen4 is just another step in GLOCK, Inc.’s commitment to producing the best firearm for law enforcement, the military, Federal law enforcement /military and law abiding citizens.”

The Gen4, just like any GLOCK pistol, has the same time tested “Safe Action” system, durable exterior finish, cold hammer forged barrel, durability, reliability and light weight that make GLOCK firearms famous. All GLOCK pistols are backed by the GLOCK Limited Lifetime Warranty and world-class customer service and support that is second to none in the firearms industry.

Why is this version called “Gen4?”Gen1 guns have often been referred to as the “pebble frame” pistols, and were available in the United States from the mid-1980s until the Gen2 frames were introduced in March, 1989. Gen2 receivers had a different ‘checkering’ pattern to help gain a more secure grip. Gen3 receivers were often called “FGR” guns

because they were the first GLOCK models with “finger grooves and rails.” Gen3 pistols were introduced in early 1998, and this version is the most prolific receiver made by GLOCK so far. In 2009, RTF2 pistols were introduced in models 22 and 17, and many mistakenly called these pistols Gen4 guns. They were not, and were considered just a variant and still of Gen3 lineage. Gen4 pistols became available in January, 2010, and I predict they will be in great demand for some time because of the many new features they possess.

By Scott M. GilbertsonGSSF Match Coordinator

I believe myself to be a fairly average competitive shooter.

I presently shoot in the “B” and “A” classes of USPSA/IPSC shooting competitions, and am rated “Master” in IDPA Stock Service Pistol.

My job as a Match Coor-dinator for the GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) keeps me traveling many weekends a year. Despite

working for a firearms company, my full time job of organizing and running weekend GSSF matches for a lot of GSSF members to shoot does not leave me as much

time for personal practice as people might think!As a GLOCK Professional employee, one of the

perks of the job is that I am issued a sample of every new GLOCK product. This allows me to display them to the GLOCK customers who attend our GSSF matches, and perhaps allow them to try a few shots.

GLOCK does not mind if I also use them to shoot in competition from time to time.

I therefore try to attend monthly matches that are available to me here in the Atlanta, Georgia area when I have the opportunity. Primarily to hone my personal protection skills, should I ever need them.

One such match available here in the Atlanta area is a monthly “Steel Challenge” match hosted by the Griffin Gun Club (www.griffinsteelmatch.com).

For those of you not familiar with it, the national-level “Steel Challenge” consists of 8 stages of fire. For

10.00 introduction

Congratulations on taking aim at becoming a better shooter and a more knowledgeable, safer firearm

owner. In GSSF you will have a blast with firearm owners who share your same interests. We are happy to have you as a member of a group dedicated to the basic principles of firearm handling skills and safety. GSSF members have an active role in the future of sport shooting and firearm ownership. Your comments and suggestions will help us keep our goals and direction on target.

GSSF members are eligible to compete in any GSSF match throughout the country. Regardless of your ability, you can compete for prizes and cash at every match. You may choose to shoot on either Saturday, Sunday or both days. Matches consist of three “stages of fire” with both paper and steel targets. (Please see stage description section.) Competitors can usually complete all stages of the match in one day. Registration opens at about 9:00AM each day and closes at either 2:00PM or 3:00PM depending on the time of year. Shooting begins after 9:00AM and continues until all registered entries have completed their stages or we run out of daylight, whichever happens first.

GSSF membership is required of all competitors. Initial annual memberships remain $35, renewals are $25 and lifetime memberships are $350. We also have three and five year membership options as well. Join GSSF as a family and save even more! You may join GSSF by mail or at a match by paying with cash, check, money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover). You also have the option to fax your membership application, paying with one of the credit cards listed above.

Your initial membership package includes a GLOCK decal, The GLOCK Annual magazine, a GSSF cap and a personalized membership card. You will also receive information about GSSF matches in this and future editions of The GLOCK Report. The GLOCK Report is issued periodically to keep you up to date on upcoming GSSF events and to provide you with the latest news and information for GLOCK owners. You must be a current member in order to compete in GSSF matches.

This edition, Volume I of The GLOCK Report, details the GSSF program for the match season beginning approximately mid-March of this year and extending to approximately mid-March of next year. Even if you are a long-time GSSF member, you will want to read this edition closely to stay informed of new changes to the GSSF program. Please be aware that this edition of The GLOCK Report may be the only “match announcement” you will receive by mail for the upcoming season. Be sure to mark your calendar for great GSSF matches, and keep this edition handy for future reference. If you happen to misplace your GLOCK Report, please write or fax us with your name and current address. We will be happy to send you another copy. We ask that you read this edition carefully before contacting GSSF with any questions you may have. If you find that you still cannot find the answers you need, please feel free to write, e-mail or fax us.

The latest information on GSSF can always be found at www.gssfonline.com. There you can find previous and current editions of The GLOCK Report and get match information and registration forms for upcoming matches. Check it out!

We hope you will want to participate in our matches. Remember, you do not need to be a competitive shooter to belong to GSSF. GSSF matches are great places to safely shoot and have fun with your GLOCK pistol. At most matches, a factory certified GLOCK armorer will be glad to examine your firearm and perform free field maintenance work. You are welcome to come and watch a match at no charge. Family members and friends are always encouraged as well. All spectators and competitors will be required to sign a simple liability waiver and wear proper eye and ear protection.

GSSF would like to thank our volunteer range officers who help to make GSSF matches fun and safe. Their dedication is a key to making our program a

20.00 safety considerations

20.05 The fundamental mission of GSSF is to introduce new shooters into the world of competitive shooting. The rules and procedures necessary for everyone to safely and enjoyably attend a competitive shooting event may be somewhat different from what you are used to at your local shooting range, local shooting club, or the back pasture back home where you plink tin cans. We therefore must insist that you follow the safety and match rules and procedures detailed here and not those that you may be used to elsewhere.

20.10 As a firearms owner and user, you must take responsibility for the safe handling and storage of your firearms. WE DO NOT ALLOW MEMBERS WHO DO NOT FOLLOW PROPER SAFETY PROCEDURES TO COMPETE IN GSSF MATCHES. Anyone not following safety rules will be required to leave the range. GSSF stresses the following basic rules of firearm safety.

20.20 Safety Rules 1. Handle all firearms as if they were loaded. 2. Always keep the firearm pointed in a

safe direction. 3. Keep your finger out of the firearm’s

trigger guard and off the trigger until you have aligned the firearm’s sights on a safe target and you have made the decision to fire.

4. Always be certain that your target and the surrounding area are safe before firing.

In addition, 5. Whenever you handle a firearm, the first

thing you should do (while keeping it pointed in a safe direction with your finger outside the trigger guard) is to determine whether or not the firearm is loaded. If the firearm is a semi-automatic pistol, first check to see that no magazine is inserted in the magazine well. Secondly, open the action and check that no round is loaded in the firing chamber.

6. Thoroughly read the instruction manual supplied with your firearm.

7. Before firing your firearm, you should routinely make sure your firearm is in good working order, and the barrel is clear of dirt and obstructions.

8. Use only ammunition recommended by the firearm manufacturer, and always be certain the ammunition matches the caliber of your firearm.

9. Always wear quality ear and eye protection when shooting or observing shooting.

10. Never use firearms while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

11. Store all firearms unloaded and secured in a safe storage case, inaccessible to children and untrained adults.

12. Federal, state and local laws regulate the transportation of firearms. Always transport your firearms in a safe, unloaded condition and in accordance with applicable laws.

20.30 Please remember your firearm is your responsibility. Failure to follow safety rules will result in disqualification and removal from the range.

20.40 Competitors who are not able to safely handle and fire a GLOCK firearm will not be allowed to compete in GSSF matches. If a competitor is unable to compete safely, as determined by the range officers and Range Master, the competitor will be refunded his or her entry at the match.

20.50 Eye and Ear Protection Everyone must wear eye and ear protection at GSSF matches (glasses and ear plugs/muffs).

20.60 Drugs and Alcohol At no time will anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol be allowed to participate in a GSSF match.

20.70 Safety Zones Unloaded firearms may be handled in designated safety zones. ABSOLUTELY NO AMMUNITION IS TO BE HANDLED IN SAFETY ZONES. You may handle ammunition and load your magazines elsewhere on the range, but NOT in designated safety zones.

20.80 Unsportsmanlike Conduct It is GSSF’s mission to ensure all have a safe and fun time at GSSF matches. At no time will the GSSF staff, range officers and Range Master tolerate gross, unsportsmanlike conduct by anyone attending GSSF matches. Anyone acting in such a manner will be required to leave the range.

20.90 Negligent Discharge A negligent discharge is unsafe and will result in disqualification.

30.00 advice for beGinners

30.10 If you are a new shooter, it is best to seek the advice and instruction of a professional firearms instructor in your area. The type of class or classes you attend depends upon your intended use of your firearm.

page Seven© GLOCK, 2010The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

30.20 Once you have learned the basics of safely handling and firing your firearm, you can improve your firearm skills before shooting any match by setting goals for yourself and practicing. Practice dry firing (manipulating the firearm with no ammunition) to help you achieve this goal.

30.30 Only perform dry firing with an unloaded fire-arm. You should not have any magazines with ammunition in the same room with you. Stand in a position that will support a steady hold. Grip the firearm firmly with both hands. Point the empty firearm in a safe direction with the sights in correct alignment with your target. Focus your dominant eye on the front sight and keep the front sight in line with the rear sight notch and target. Press the trigger until the striker falls, always keeping the sights aligned with the target. Your goal is to be able to drop the striker while your sights remain unwaveringly fixed upon your aiming point. Draw back the slide slightly, just enough to reset the trigger mechanism and resume your normal shooting grip. Repeat as necessary until the sights remain on target every time you pull the trigger and drop the striker.

30.40 When you feel confident, practice live firing at a shooting range. Use the techniques you practiced in dry firing. Remember that stages of fire and targets may change, but the techniques for shooting both accurately and quickly are always the same.

30.50 A new shooter should concentrate on accuracy more than speed. Shoot at your own speed to the best of your ability and have fun!

40.00 the stock Glock and modifications

40.10 Stock GLOCK Philosophy It is our intention to keep Amateur-Stock and Master-Stock divisions on a “level playing field” by ensuring the use of stock GLOCK firearms in all divisions except for the Master-Unlimited division. We want to avoid an equipment race in our sport, and will not allow firearm modifications that provide an artificial and mechanical competitive advantage. The goal is to test individual skill where everyone is using comparable equipment.

40.20 Stock GLOCK Definition For the Amateur- Civilian, Amateur-Guardian, Amateur and Master- Subcompact, Amateur and Master-MajorSub, Amateur and Master-Competition, and Amateur and Master-Stock divisions:

GLOCK FIREARMS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE “STOCK” IF ALL FIREARM COMPONENTS ARE OR EVER HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FROM GLOCK, INC. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED BELOW.

If any component is not or has never been available from GLOCK, Inc. or if the firearm has been physically modified except as otherwise specifically noted below, it is not “stock” and is therefore restricted to use in the Amateur and Master-Unlimited division only.

40.30 Allowable Modifications to “Stock” 1. “Hogue Grip”-type sleeves, “A-Grip” panels,

“skateboard tape” or other grip-enhancing materials that do not materially alter the function of the stock firearm

2. Slide and barrel stripping and/or refinishing 3. Pearce Grip, Inc. grip extenders only on G26,

G27, G29, G30, G33, G36 and G39 magazines 4. Aftermarket replacement non-metallic base

plates on magazines 5. Post and notch sights (“patridge” sights)

excluding any sight requiring slide modifications. Please note that fiber-optic and “express” sights are approved.

You may use any combination of GLOCK- produced firearms parts that do not result in a significant competitive advantage in the Stock divisions and that are, in the sole opinion of the match armorer, safe to utilize.

40.40 Specific Illegal Modifications in the “Stock” Divisions:

1. Any non-post and notch sight. This includes “Ghost Ring” or laser, electronic and optical sights. Please note that fiber-optic and express sights are permitted.

2. Wrap-around “grip sleeves” on magazines. 3. Aftermarket component parts to be used in the

Amateur-Civilian, Amateur-Guardian, Amateur and Master-Subcompact, Amateur and Master- MajorSub, Amateur and Master-Stock, or Amateur and Master-Competition divisions.

4. Aftermarket barrels. 5. Aftermarket recoil spring guide/recoil

reducer assemblies. 6. Aftermarket extended slide stop levers. 7. Firing pins (modified/aftermarket). 8. Connectors (modified/aftermarket). 9. Metallic magazine well “funnels” or “slugs.” 10. Lights or other barrel weights including

GLOCK-produced light/laser units. 11. Aftermarket metallic replacement frames. 12. Any modification deemed by the Range Master

to create an unfair competitive advantage. 13. Non-factory “stippling”.(Stippling that is

burned or cut into the polymer frame)

40.50 All firearms are subject to inspection at the matches for appropriate classification. Random inspections may occur at GSSF matches. In the event a GLOCK pistol is deemed illegal for a Stock division, if possible, the competitor’s entry will be moved to the Amateur and Master Unlimited division. Refunds will not be given to those who fail inspection.

page Eight © GLOCK, 2010 The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

45.0 Illegal parts in the “Unlimited” Division: 1. “Carbine Conversion” units (no shoulder stocks) 2. Aftermarket metallic replacement frames. 3. Any conversion kit that does not fire a round

for which GLOCK manufactures a firearm (see section 50.)

50.00 ammunition

50.10 GLOCK, Inc. strongly recommends the use of high quality commercially manufactured ammunition. Make sure ammunition is in serviceable condition and matches the caliber of your firearm. Here is a guide to the proper ammunition to use in your GLOCK firearm:

GLOCK Model Ammunition G17, 17L, 19, 26 or 34 9 x 19mm, (9mm Luger, (including applicable 9mm Parabellum) “C” models)

G31, 32 or 33 .357 Auto (including applicable “C” models)

G22, 23, 24, 27 or 35 .40 Auto (including applicable “C” models)

G20 or 29 10mm Auto (including applicable “C” models)

G21, 30, or 36 .45 Auto (including applicable “C” models)

G37, 38, 39 .45 G.A.P.

50.20 Reloaded or commercially remanufactured ammunition may not meet Small Arms Ammunition and Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) specifications and may be extremely dangerous. The warranty on your GLOCK firearm is void if you use reloaded ammunition. With reloaded ammunition, there is no way to verify the standards used by the reloader. Be aware that many brands of imported ammunition are not manufactured to SAAMI specifications. The quality of such ammunition can vary widely.

50.30 Be aware that you almost certainly will not be able to purchase ammunition at GSSF matches. Please ensure that you obtain sufficient ammunition prior to attending the match and transport it in accordance with the laws of the states in which you are traveling.

50.35 Be aware that in the State of New Jersey those who do not hold the appropriate license from the State of New Jersey cannot legally purchase, nor even legally borrow nor loan to another person, any ammunition. Such licenses are

effectively only available to residents of New Jersey. Therefore, any non-residents of New Jersey who attend a GSSF match held in New Jersey will NOT be able to legally purchase ammunition while in New Jersey. Nor will they be able to legally borrow from nor loan ammunition to others attending the match. The only way to legally exchange ammunition will be if an appropriately licensed New Jersey resident pro-vides the ammunition to another appropriately licensed New Jersey resident. If you do not hold the appropriate license, it will behoove you to bring sufficient ammunition to shoot all of your chosen match divisions and not run short. You will not be able to look to others to legally obtain such ammunition if you do run short, nor will you be able to provide ammuntion to others who may run short.

50.40 Suggested Ammunition Amounts We recommend that you bring a minimum of 150 rounds for each division you intend to shoot.

50.50 GSSF matches are “lost brass” matches. You will not be allowed to pick up spent cases at any time.

60.00 transport of firearms to and from the ranGe

60.10 Check applicable state laws to ensure that you are traveling legally with your firearm and ammunition. Some laws require you to lock your ammunition, firearm or both separately.

60.20 If you plan to travel by air, contact your airline, obtain their requirements for transport of firearms and ammunition, and pack accordingly. Penalties for transporting firearms and ammunition not in accordance with airline or federal requirements can be severe.

60.30 Carry this brochure with you as verification that you are on your way to a GSSF match.

70.00 transport of firearms and equipment at the ranGe.

70.10 GSSF matches are conducted as “cold” ranges. No participants, including law enforcement officers and civilians with concealed carry permits, may carry loaded firearms. Except when actually on the firing line and under the direct supervision of a range officer or while being transported in a suitable container, all firearms must be unloaded with the magazine out and the chamber empty. While carrying in a holster, the magazine must be out, the chamber must be empty and the slide must be locked to the rear. As a basic safety precaution, we require that all GSSF competitors refrain from handling their firearms any more than is absolutely necessary to compete in the match.

page Nine© GLOCK, 2010The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

Firearms can only be handled when:

1. You are under range officer supervision (usually on the firing line itself while no one is downrange of you).

2. You are dealing with the GLOCK Armorer. 3. You are in a designated Safety Zone.

Handling ammunition is not allowed in safety zones.

If you handle your firearm at any other time or anywhere other than a designated safety area, you risk being disqualified from any further participation in the match due to unsafe gun handling practices.

Acceptable means to transport your firearm:

1. Unloaded with the slide locked to the rear in a holster that safely retains your GLOCK pistol.

2. Unloaded in a closed GLOCK box. 3. Unloaded in a shooting bag, box, briefcase,

backpack or similar container.

At GSSF matches, it is never appropriate to carry your firearm from one place to another in your hand. It must be in one of the acceptable means of transport listed above.

70.20 Even though the GSSF courses of fire do not require that you either holster a loaded firearm or draw a loaded firearm from a holster, we recommend that you use a holster during the match. You can use any belt holster if the firearm stays firmly in the holster with the slide locked to the rear. We recommend holsters that cover the trigger and have a retaining device that holds the firearm firmly in place. We do not allow the use of shoulder holsters, due to the difficulties in drawing or reinserting the firearm without pointing the firearm in an unsafe direction in a match environment.

70.30 When you have completed the match, please refrain from handling or loading and holstering your firearm until you have left the premises of the match host club. Please contact the Range Master if you have any questions.

80.00 Weather and emerGencies

80.10 Weather and Emergencies In the case of severe weather and emergencies, GSSF reserves the right to suspend or cancel competitions at any time.

80.20 Weather and Bagging Targets In the case of wet weather, targets may be covered with see-through plastic bags in order to keep GSSF matches running. Bags will only be used in rainy conditions. The GSSF Range Master will decide if and when targets will be covered or “bagged.” Every effort will be made to ensure stages are run consistently.

80.30 Wind Rules In the case of extremely windy conditions, particularly when the steel “Pepper Popper” targets will not remain standing, the GSSF Range Master can place “Wind Rules” in effect on the GLOCK ’M. Two of the steel targets will not be used, and the remaining steel popper will be “hard” set so that it will not fall to either the wind or a bullet strike. The GLOCK ’M will then be scored in “ring and paint mode.” Competitors will shoot the remaining steel popper until it “rings” for a confirmed hit on each string. The remaining steel popper will, in most cases, be painted after each competitor completes his/her three strings of fire. All other course description stipulations will apply.

90.00 membership and reGistration

90.20 Range Officer Fees Initial Membership $35 Renewals $25 Entry per Division $25

One of several options available to Range Officers who help staff a given GSSF match is the option to shoot one no-charge match entry, waiving the normal $25 match fee. The membership requirement and membership fee is NOT waived. The Range Officer must be a current, paid-up GSSF member in order to compete even if the match fee itself is waived.

90.30 Registration/Membership forms for the current GSSF season may be found in this and other current editions of The GLOCK Report and on our website, www.gssfonline.com. Do not use forms published in prior years as the information and fees listed on them may be obsolete.

90.40 We strongly recommend our pre-registration option. This allows us to have processed all of your paperwork and data entry before you arrive and allows us to have pre-printed your scoresheet labels so they are ready for you when you arrive. This gets you out on the range as fast as possible and you do not have to stand in line for very long. You may do this by mail, e-mail or fax. We will not accept pre-registration without proper payment. Mailed applications must either include a check or money order, VISA, Discover, or MasterCard credit card information for fees. Applications that are e-mailed or faxed must include the appropriate credit card information. If payment is by credit card but the applicant has incorrectly calculated the payment amount, GSSF reserves the right to make the appropriate corrections and charge the correct amount. Members who do not submit proper payment will be required to re-register at the match and pay the $10 administration fee. Please ensure that your pre-registration entry is received at least one week prior to the match. If your pre-registration is not received one full week prior to the match, you will have to register at the match and pay the $10 administration fee.

90.50 GSSF does not issue confirmations for pre-registered competitors. Please do not contact GSSF for confirmation.

90.60 For competitors who have pre-registered for a match but were unable to attend, GSSF will issue credit vouchers. Credit vouchers may be used for membership fees and/or registration fees at future matches. Only original vouchers will be accepted. GSSF will not accept faxes or copies of credit vouchers.

90.70 GSSF does not accept registrations over the telephone.

90.80 At registration you will register (pre-registered or walk-up registration), sign a liability release, obtain your scoresheet labels and read or receive a competitor briefing. Be sure to tell the registration personnel if you are pre-registered for the match. Confirm the accuracy of registration information for the division and any special categories you are eligible for.

90.90 Visit www.gssfonline.com for current match information. Registration is conducted on a “first come, first served” basis. Pre-register to reserve your entry into the match.

100.00 competitor briefinGs

100.10 If this is your first GSSF match you should review a written competitor briefing. Once you have reviewed the competitor briefing package, see the Range Master or Match Registrar if you have any questions.

110.10 Squad times are not pre-assigned. You are free to shoot on Saturday and Sunday until all of your entries are complete. Typically, more competitors wish to shoot on Saturday. Be advised, if a majority of competitors show up in the same time frame, you may have longer wait periods before beginning to shoot. Plan to spend the entire day, even if you registered between 9am-12pm. If you arrive Saturday and cannot complete all your entries, you have the option to return on Sunday. For those competitors who begin to shoot a division entry but are unable to complete all three stages (DNF–“Did Not Finish”) any unfired “string” times will be assigned a time of “99.99” seconds and any unfired target scores will be scored as “misses.” This will cause the competitor’s score to be listed at or near the bottom of the Division scores, but the DNF entry will remain eligible for random awards. Refer to Rule 120.20)

Competitors will receive labels at Registration with name, entry #, division, category, pistol and match code in the place of scoresheets. The labels will be placed on scoresheets kept at each individual stage of fire setup. Keep your labels in a safe place until the range officer at a given stage squads you and gives you your scoresheets.

You will receive three labels for each individual match entry. One label for each of the “Five to GLOCK,” “GLOCK the Plates” and “GLOCK ’M” match stages that you must complete to make up a complete match entry. If you have multiple entries, make sure that you place a single label from each of your entries on each of the appropriate scoresheets.

page Eleven© GLOCK, 2010The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

If you inadvertently place two labels from the same entry on two of the same stage scoresheets we may not be able to tell which scoresheet reflects which entry, and may have to disqualify either or both entries. If you find out that you have done this, either seek out the range officers from that stage and make appropriate written corrections on the scoresheets, or, if necessary, seek out the Range Master immediately so that we may sort the matter out and avoid problems later when the scores are processed.

Multiple stage setups are often erected to better accommodate large numbers of competitors. You will not necessarily shoot each available stage setup. You must successfully complete all three match stages, “Five to GLOCK,” “GLOCK the Plates” and “GLOCK ’M” in order to have completed a match entry. We have encountered new competitors who shoot one stage twice, one stage once and the third stage not at all, or some similar incomplete combination simply because they did not read and understand the basics of GSSF competition. They shot stage setups in the sequence in which they encountered them as they walked into the range complex. We have no choice but to disqualify (“DNF”) such entries with no refund if the error is not caught and corrected before the end of the match.

110.20 Sign-In and Squadding Procedure Determining who has priority on a particular stage is based upon two factors. First, what time you arrived and completed the registration process that day—first-come, first-served. This is determined by your signing up on the appropriate stage sign-in sheets at each of your chosen stage of fire setups immediately after you have completed the registration process and have received your scoresheet labels. Second, what competitors happen to be handy at a particular stage location when the time comes to form the next “squad” of shooters. This is determined by marking the appropriate space next to your name on the sign-up sheet signifying that you are present and awaiting your turn to be included in a squad and shoot the stage. For this process to work correctly to your advantage you must first follow the sign-in and squadding procedure described below. By following the sign-in and squadding procedures, you’ll have a more pleasant match experience. Not understanding and not following the organizational procedures will cause unnecessary and frustrating delays for you and others.

Competitors and Range Officers must follow this sign-in and squadding procedure: If at any time these procedures are not being followed, please contact the GSSF Range Master. You may ask

any of the volunteer Range Officers where to locate the GSSF Range Master at any time.

1. To establish your “first come, first served” priority for the day, immediately after you have completed the registration process and have received your scoresheet labels you must sign in at each of the three match stage locations of your choice. At some matches, there will be one sign-in area for each GLOCK ’M, Five to GLOCK and GLOCK the Plates stage setup. Other matches may have a sign-in area at each individual shooting pit containing multiple stage setups. Each match will vary due to the shooting pit layout. If you have any questions, feel free to ask range officers or the Range Master. Be advised—there may be several duplicate setups for each stage of fire.

If there is more than one stage setup, be sure to return to the same stage location to shoot that stage. A competitor may choose to sign up for one stage at several stage locations. After completing the stage of fire, the competitor should inform the other stage locations to remove his or her name from the sign-in sheet.

Multiple entries by an individual should be signed in one after another. However, with one exception, only two entries may be fired in succession. The range officer or competitors may arrange the squad scoresheets to comply with this rule AFTER they have been squadded.

If a competitor has three total entries and no one else in the squad objects, that competitor may shoot all three entries back to back to back. If anyone in the squad objects, the competitor will shoot his or her three entries in the normal “shoot two, step off the line for another competitor’s entry (or two entries), return and shoot the third entry” order.

2. Once a competitor has returned to shoot a stage where he or she previously signed in, the competitor should mark next to his or her name on the sign-in sheet so that the range officers know he or she is there and awaiting his or her turn to shoot. If the competitor does not place a mark next to his or her name, the range officer will have no way to know if he or she is present when it is time to squad competitors.

DO NOT place a checkmark near your name if you plan to leave the sign-in area for an extended time period, such as leaving to shoot one or more of the other stages first. The checkmark indicates which competitors are present and waiting to be squadded.

page Twelve © GLOCK, 2010 The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

Competitors should assist the range officers in pasting targets and resetting steel until being squadded.

3. The range officer will then squad up to eight (8) priority-based entries per stage setup. No more than (8) entries should be sent to each stage of fire setup at one time. New squads will be formed once the previous squad is down to their last one or two entries. If more than (8) entries are squadded, unnecessary delays will occur for competitors who signed in at an earlier time of day. In order to do this, we need everyone’s help. Please cooperate!

The scorekeeping range officer may ask someone in the squad to notify the sign-in Range Officer when down to the final one or two entries.

OR

The scorekeeping range officer may signal to the sign-in area range officer if it is within sight of the stage position.

OR

The scorekeeping range officer will manage the sign-in area and distribute scoresheets for the next eight priority based entries.

Cycle time should be about 5 or 6 minutes per entry, depending on competitor and range officer efficiency. No one is allowed to “jump” a shooting order once a squad has been established. The exception is for range officials who need to shoot through and return to work their stage setup.

4. Once your name has been called for inclusion on a squad, place your label(s) on the scoresheet(s) provided by the range officer and return the scoresheet(s) to the range officer to be placed in the squad shooting order. At no time is anyone to be given a scoresheet unless and until squadded by the range officer. Labeled scoresheets are not to be left in the possession of the competitors. The labeled scoresheets will be kept by the range officers to enable them to control the proper shooting order.

5. At many matches, a device called a “Christmas Tree” consisting of cardboard, “binder” clamps and usually, target stands, may be used to hold the squad scoresheets in the shooting order for all to see.

6. After being squadded, the range officer will cross the competitor’s name off the sign-up list, preferably with a hi-lighter.

7. After completing the stage of fire, be sure you stay with the range officer and scorekeeper as the targets are being scored and recorded on your scoresheet. (See 130.85).

8. You are not required to stay with a squad after you complete a stage of fire. However, please help the range officers to paste and reset steel while waiting to complete your entries. (See 120.40)

110.30 Range officers have the authority to make reasonable alterations to the shooting order.

110.40 Exception for Range Officers Range officers may be placed at or near the top of the shooting order upon their request. This will allow them to finish competing as soon as possible and get back to manning their respective stages.

110.50 Handling Multiple Competitor Entries Competitors entering more than two divisions will be allowed to shoot only two consecutive entries in succession, except that a competitor who has no more than three entries may shoot them in succession if no one in the squad objects.

110.60 In order to accommodate all competitors, and to finish as quickly as possible for our volunteers, we ask that competitors not take excessive delays to begin shooting. This applies to those not making themselves available when there are no competitors waiting at a stage. We understand that GSSF matches are fun social events, but please begin shooting when the opportunity presents itself as soon as possible. Once you have finished shooting you are free to socialize as much as you like.

120.00 hoW lonG Will it take to shoot the match?

120.10 GSSF matches are held on weekends throughout the country. Check out www.gssfonline.com for a complete schedule. Members have the option to choose when they wish to compete, on either Saturday, Sunday or both days.

120.20 GSSF gives competitors the option to register and complete their entries over a two-day period as they choose, within the registration hours and daylight conditions. Conditions vary from match to match. There are many variables involved, such as the time of day you arrive, how many competitors have signed in, how many stage setups are available and weather conditions. We suggest that you plan to spend the entire day at the range. It may take the entire day(s) to complete your entry(ies). Every attempt will be made to run shooters through as quickly as possible. Under most circumstances, if you have to leave before completing all of your stages you will be declared “DNF” (Did Not Finish) for any stages you did not complete. If you were not able to finish all of your match stages on Saturday, you may return to finish on Sunday. Please plan your

page Thirteen© GLOCK, 2010The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

attendance accordingly. For those competitors who begin to shoot a division entry but are unable to complete all three courses of fire (DNF), any uncompleted times will be assigned a time of “99.99” seconds and any missing target scores will be scored as “Misses.” This will cause the competitor’s score to be listed at or near the bottom of the division scores, but the DNF entry will remain eligible for random awards.

120.30 We will not allow non-range officer competitors any special consideration (no “shoot-throughs”) in shooting the match quickly and leaving for any personal reasons.

120.40 Unless you are the “up,” “on deck,” or “in the hole” competitor, we encourage you to help the range officers as much as possible, especially with respect to taping targets after they have been scored. If you are in any doubt as to whether a particular target has been scored or not, ask the range officers first before you tape it. Your help is greatly appreciated!

130.00 staGe procedures

130.10 Each host club range has its own safety considerations, range design and range construction constraints. At all matches, you will shoot targets at distances ranging from 5 to 25 yards. Steel targets are a minimum distance of 10 yards from the shooter for safety. The Range Master may change target distances, target spacing and target heights above ground based on range conditions.

130.20 You are expected to read and understand the stage description before you are called to the firing line. The descriptions are published later in this document, and are usually posted at the stage locations. Discuss the stage with your fellow competitors and watch how other competitors shoot the stage ahead of you. Please decide how you will shoot the stage before you are called to the line.

130.25 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO TOUCH YOUR FIREARM UNTIL EVERYONE HAS RETURNED BEHIND THE FIRING LINE AND THE RANGE OFFICER DIRECTS YOU TO HANDLE YOUR FIREARM.

130.30 When you are the “on deck” competitor and the “up” competitor in front of you has finished shooting, has secured his/her equipment and has moved downrange with the range officers to witness scoring, feel free to step up to the shooting position and lay out your magazines. Wait for the range officers to return from scoring, pasting and resetting the targets so they may give you instructions to handle your firearm at the appropriate time.

130.40 REPEAT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO TOUCH YOUR FIREARM UNTIL EVERYONE HAS RETURNED BEHIND THE FIRING LINE AND THE RANGE OFFICER DIRECTS YOU TO HANDLE YOUR FIREARM. The traditional command that allows you to handle your firearm is “Load and make ready.”

130.50 Please listen to the range officer’s explanations carefully. The range officers are there to safely assist you, and make your experience more enjoyable. They welcome your questions. You may also call the Range Master for a review and clarification of the rules.

130.55 To avoid confusion, check that the scorer is about to start scoring YOUR scoresheet and not someone else’s. If you have multiple entries, make sure that the scorer is scoring the entry you are actually shooting at that time and not scoring on one of your other scoresheets.

130.60 Start position Follow range officer instructions at all times at each stage. After the range officer has directed you to handle and load your firearm, you will start in one of the two acceptable “ready” positions. Hold your firearm in your hands, with your forearms touching your torso. The GLOCK muzzle is pointed into the impact berm behind the targets, parallel to the ground or lower, at the ground between you and the targets. Alternatively, hold your firearm in the “Low Ready” position; both arms holding the firearm, arms roughly straight, firearm pointed at the ground NO MORE THAN about 6 feet in front of the shooter, at the sole judgement of the range officer. Finger(s) must be outside of the firearm’s trigger guard.

130.70 Make sure you keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction (towards the targets) at all times, especially when reloading and unloading. Failure to do so will disqualify you from the match.

130.80 When you have completed shooting your entry, the range officer will instruct you to unload and show clear. Regardless of whether you plan to shoot another entry, your firearm must be holstered or secured in a suitable container (see Transport of Firearms and Equipment at the Range, 70.10) before anyone can proceed downrange. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE FIREARMS TO BE LEFT OUT IN THE OPEN AND UNATTENDED AT THE SHOOTING POSITION WHEN ANYONE IS DOWN RANGE, EVEN IF THE FIREARM WAS JUST USED TO SHOOT THE LAST ENTRY AND WILL BE USED AGAIN TO SHOOT THE NEXT ENTRY.

130.85 (See also Section 160.20) PAY ATTENTION TO THE SCORING PROCESS! We strongly suggest that you “look over the range officer’s shoulder” as he calls out the hits on your targets, and as they are recorded on your scoresheet!

page Fourteen © GLOCK, 2010 The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

Although the range officers do the scoring, YOU, NOT THE RANGE OFFICER, are responsible for the accuracy or inaccuracy, as the case may be, of the score entered on your scoresheet. Even if it was actually the range officer who made a scoring error, it is YOUR responsibility to recognize or find it and alert the range officers or GSSF personnel to it in a timely manner so they may take the proper remedial action while it can still be corrected.

You may initial your scoresheet after it has been scored. The specific purpose of initialling your scoresheet is to allow you the time and opportunity to review your scoresheet; confirm that it is complete and correct it BEFORE you initial it.

If a carbon copy is available, take your copy of the scoresheet from the range officer. Once the targets are pasted, no changes will be permitted on your scoresheet. The original scoresheets always stay with the range officers, and are eventually passed on to the Match Registrar to be tallied.

We strongly suggest that you calculate your score from your carbon copies BEFORE you leave the match. If you thereby identify a scoring error, seek out the GSSF personnel and discuss it with them so that remedial action can be taken.

130.90 Even if your scoresheets are recorded correctly, “Garbage In, Garbage Out” data entry errors are always possible and may go undetected when GSSF processes the scores. Therefore, compare the carbon copies of your scoresheets against the interim match results posted on www.gssfonline.com as soon as possible after they are posted. If there is any discrepancy you do not understand, contact GSSF immediately so they may recheck your scores and data entry and make any required corrections before the scores are finalized and awards are posted. Once scores are finalized and awards are posted, there will be no further corrections under any circumstances.

Remember, at GSSF matches it is as important to have fun as it is to compete. Please relax and have a good time!

140.00 side events

140.10 When range conditions permit, you may participate in side or warmup events. These are separate events not included in the main scoring of the GSSF match. You can use these events as warmups or one-on-one competitions. Side events are subject to the availability of the necessary range space, equipment to conduct them and available range officers.

150.00 tarGets

150.10 You will shoot several different types of targets at GSSF matches.These will most often be:

NRA D-1 Target, any similar NRA target, or possibly a proprietary target

8" Steel Plates

Steel Pepper Poppers

Steel targets sometimes depend upon what the individual host club has available for use. Shapes and sizes of steel targets may vary.

150.20 Official NRA D-1 target sources (updated as of January, 2007) are subject to change without notice. This information is for the use of our members only and is not to be construed as an endorsement of these suppliers by GLOCK Professional or GSSF.

150.30 Target Replacement Targets will be replaced at the discretion of the range officers and Range Master when the “A” or “B” scoring rings, as the case may be, on D-1 targets cannot be defined and shots cannot be accurately scored.

150.40 Weather and Bagging Targets In the case of wet weather, targets may be covered with see-through plastic bags in order to keep GSSF matches running. The Range Master will decide if and when targets will be covered or “bagged” and “unbagged.”

160.00 scorinG

160.10 GLOCK Scoring Each individual string of fire is timed. Hits in each zone of the target add additional seconds to your total time. The lowest aggregate time for all stages wins the division.

Steel Hit = 0 seconds

A or B Hit = 0 seconds (Hit in either zone is scored “B.” See 160.15.

C Hit = +1 second

D Hit = +3 seconds

Miss = +10 seconds

Procedural = +10 seconds (Earned by the com-petitor if he or she commits course of fire in-fractions, attempts to gain an unfair competitive advantage or causes unnecessary delay.)

Steel must fall to score. (Exception: During windy “Wind Rules” conditions as deemed by the Range Master.) Calibration is performed by the Range Master with factory 9x19mm ammunition, with a low center hit on steel targets. If steel fails to fall after a defined hit, the target may be re-shot by the range staff to test calibration.

160.15 “A” and “B” hits are both scored “Zero” seconds, and historically were only differentiated for very rare tie-breaking purposes. To facilitate scoring and target pasting, all hits within either or both the “A” and/or “B” zones will be scored as “B” hits. Should a tie occur under such circumstances, the tie will be resolved by (1) the lower aggregate “C” hit count between both “Five to GLOCK” and “GLOCK ’M.” Should a tie not be resolved by (1), the tie will be resolved by (2) the lower aggregate time of all 4 strings of fire in “GLOCK the Plates.” Should a tie still not be resolved by (2), the tie shall be resolved by (3) the lower aggregate time of all seven strings of fire in “GLOCK the Plates” and “GLOCK ’M.”

160.20 (See also Sections 130.8 and 130.9) Review your scores behind the firing line with the range officer. Check your scoresheets to ensure correct information is complete before initialling your scoresheet. By initialling your scoresheet you are agreeing that your scores are correct as they are written on the scoresheet.

160.30 If you do not initial your scoresheet, GSSF will assume you accept your scores as written.

160.40 Range officers may grant reshoots if a non- recoverable scoring error is detected at the time you review and initial your scoresheet.

160.45 If you failed to detect a scoring error at the time you initialled your scoresheet, but find it later as you review your carbon copy AND before you have left the range AND while the match is still in progress and an appropriate stage setup is still available, you may reshoot the stage. See the range officers at the stage where you shot and where the error occurred, or see the Range Master or Match Registrar, if necessary. In such instances range officers may place the competitor near the top of the then-current shooting order so they may reshoot their score without excessive delay.

160.50 Once all of each respective stage setups have been torn down, it is too late to reshoot any erroneous scores. Be sure to verify the correctness of each of your scores before you leave the match.

page Sixteen © GLOCK, 2010 The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

170.00 competitor divisions, cateGories and classes

170.10 GSSF offers the following competition divisions:

Civilian (open to amateur competitors only)

Guardian (open to amateur competitors only)

Subcompact (open to both amateur and master competitors with separate prizes for each)

Competition (open to both amateur and master competitors with separate prizes for each)

MajorSub (open to both amateur and master competitors with separate prizes for each)

Unlimited (open to both amateur and master competitors)

Master-Stock (open to both amateur and master competitors)

170.20 You may shoot any of the above divisions that you are eligible to compete in only once per match. If a competitor mistakenly enters one division twice and the error is not caught and corrected at that time, the competitor’s first entry in that division will stand. The second such entry will, at the sole option of GSSF, be reclassified to whatever other division is judged to be most suitable under the circumstances.

170.30 Definition of “Amateur” 1. The competitor is not a professional shooter. 2. The competitor has not won three (3) GLOCK

firearms as “high overall” at previous GSSF matches.

3. The competitor has not finished in the top 25th percentile of a non-GSSF major shooting competition. (A major competition is a state championship or higher level match.)

4. The competitor is not classified “master” or above in NRA, PPC, IPSC/USPSA, ICORE, Cowboy Action or similar shooting disciplines.

5. The competitor is not a member of an armed forces pistol shooting team.

6. The competitor is not a member of a (non-GSSF) law enforcement organization-sponsored pistol shooting team.

170.40 Amateur competitors who win firearm awards other than as “high overall” are not included in determining master class status. An amateur who wins three (3) GLOCK pistols will be awarded the next available cash award, if any, for those additional wins after they are awarded master class status.

170.45 Under no circumstances of match scheduling or attendance, or the timing of the issuance of match

awards, or any other factor or combination of factors, will any competitor be awarded more than three (3) GLOCK pistols as an Amateur. Should a competitor win his or her third such GLOCK pistol at a match wherein he or she also would have “won” another in another division, GSSF will issue the appropriate awards at its own discretion.

170.50 Definition of “Master” 1. The competitor is a professional shooter.

2. The competitor has won three (3) GLOCK firearms as “high overall” in any division at previous GSSF matches.

3. The competitor has finished in the top 25th percentile of a non-GSSF major shooting competition (State-level championship or above. At least three Master or above shooters must have shot the same competition against whom the GSSF member’s relative performance can be compared).

4. The competitor is classified “Master” or above in NRA, PPC, IPSC/USPSA, ICORE, Cowboy Action or similar shooting disciplines. “Master” ranking in IDPA shall no longer count towards “Master” status in GSSF.

5. The competitor is a member of an armed forces pistol shooting team.

6. The competitor is a member of a (non-GSSF) law enforcement organization-sponsored pistol shooting team.

170.60 Should it come to the attention of GSSF that a master class competitor has inadvertently entered and shot in any of the amateur divisions, GSSF reserves the right to change the respective competitor’s entries to another appropriate division as can best be done at the time. Any such entries that cannot be properly reclassified will be declared “DNF” and the competitor’s entry fee(s) will be credited appropriately.

170.65 If you have competed as a “Master” in the past under GSSF’s then-existent rules, and believe that you no longer qualify as a “Master” in GSSF as now defined above, make your case to GSSF to return to “Amateur” status —it will be considered on an individual basis.

170.70 Guardian to Civilian “Crossover” Those eligible for the Guardian division are defined below (170.80). All others compete as civilians. Competitors in the Guardian division may, at their option, choose to “cross over” and compete in the Amateur-Civilian division at a particular match. If they do so, they may not compete in Amateur-Guardian at that same match.

page Seventeen© GLOCK, 2010The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

170.80 Definition of Guardian 1. The competitor is a full-time law enforcement

officer of a duly constituted agency of a municipal, county, state or federal government, or is a full-time firearms instructor in a law enforcement agency or police academy. The competitor must provide official, current identification from their agency if he or she is a full-time civilian firearms instructor.

2. The competitor is an officer of a reserve or auxiliary unit of a law enforcement agency named above. The appointing authority must authorize the competitor to carry arms while on duty and authorizes the competitor to perform the same law enforcement functions and duties as full-time officers of the agency. (Unarmed auxiliary members of law enforcement agencies are not included.)

3. The competitor is a member of any of the United States Armed Services (Army, National Guard, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard) serving active duty or in the reserves.

4. The competitor is a full-time salaried railroad police officer, penal institution guard, industrial police officer, bank guard or armored/express company guard who is armed while on duty.

5. The competitor is a full-time or volunteer firefighter or paramedic.

6. The competitor is retired from any of the above positions and receiving benefits from the organization.

170.90 Firearms Used in the Civilian, Guardian and Master-Stock divisions Adult (>18) competitors may use stock noncompensated G17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 37, 38 and 39 GLOCK firearms. If G38 or G39 firearms are used, it is recommended that G37 magazines be used. If a competitor possesses a compensated model of one of the above (G17C, 19C, 20C, 21C, 22C, 23C, 31C or 32C) and a GLOCK-produced non-compensated barrel for that firearm model, the competitor may use their “C” model firearm combined with the GLOCK- produced non-compensated barrel to shoot their Civilian, Guardian or Master-Stock entries. Junior (<18) competitors may also use “C” and “long-slide” models (G-17C, 17L, 19C, 20C, 21C, 22C, 23C, 24, 24C, 31C, 32C, 34, 35) to shoot in the Civilian or Master-Stock divisions.

170.100 Subcompact This division is for all competitors, both amateur and master, who wish to compete with their stock subcompact model (G26, 27, 29, 30, 33 and 39) GLOCK firearms. All competitors compete as either amateurs or masters, and there are no special category awards. Please note that in this division you may load up to eleven rounds, and will shoot every available cardboard target with two (2) rounds per string, as is the case with every other division EXCEPT MajorSub.

BOTH COMPETITORS AND RANGE OFFICERS SHOULD NOTE THAT A GREAT DEAL OF CONFUSION ARISES BETWEEN THE SUBCOMPACT AND MAJORSUB CLASSES. BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND BOTH THE SIMILARITIES AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM, ESPECIALLY IF YOU INTEND TO SHOOT BOTH DIVISIONS AT THE SAME MATCH.

170.110 MajorSub This division was specifically designed to accommodate the GLOCK G36 which holds a maximum of 7 rounds. To allow more competitors who do not happen to own the G36 but who do own comparable “apples to apples” stock ma-jor caliber subcompact firearms (G29, 30, 39) those three GLOCK models may also be used but must be limited to no more than seven loaded rounds per string of fire. This division is therefore for both master and amateur competitors who wish to compete with their stock major caliber subcompact firearms (G29, 30, 36 and 39). You may load only a total of seven (7) rounds per string of fire no matter how many rounds your particular firearm was designed to hold. All competitors compete as either amateurs or masters, and there are no special category awards. Please note that in this division, and in this division ONLY, you will shoot every available cardboard target with one (1) round only per string.

170.120 Competition This division is for all competitors, both amateur and master, who wish to compete with stock competition GLOCK firearms. Competitors may use stock “long-slide” (G17L/LC, 24/24C, 34 and 35) model firearms, or any stock firearms used in the Civilian, Guardian or Master-Stock divisions (G17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 37, 38 and 39), or any stock factory compensated (both basic and Competition- package G17C, 19C, 20C, 21C, 22C, 23C, 31C or 32C) firearms. The only stock GLOCK firearm model excluded from this division is the G36 (due to its relatively limited magazine capacity). All competitors compete as either amateurs or masters, and there are no special category awards.

170.130 Unlimited This division is open to all competitors, both master and amateur, who use a GLOCK firearm that has aftermarket components or modifications that are not allowed in the “stock” divisions (see section 40.00). Competitors may also use the same stock GLOCK firearm they used in firing the Civilian, Guardian, Subcompact, Competition or Master-Stock divisions. The only stock GLOCK model excluded from this division is the G36 (due to its relatively limited magazine capacity). Shoulder-stock devices and similar “Carbine Conversion Units” may not be used. All competitors compete equally, and there are no special category awards.

170.140 Master-Stock This division is open to all competitors, both master and amateur. The following applies:

1. There will be no differentiation between competitors who are Civilians or Guardians.

2. All competitors compete equally, and there are no special category awards.

180.00 teams

180.10 Teams may be formed from 3 competitors in the following respective divisions only:

Civilian Teams (3 competitors)

Guardian Teams (3 competitors)

Master-Stock Teams (3 competitors)

Cost per Team Entry is $10.00.

180.20 Team scores may not include scores from the Subcompact, Competition, MajorSub or Unlimited divisions, nor may single teams be made up of combinations of Civilian and Guardian competitors. Competitors may register for one such team per division per match only.

180.30 Team registration sheets must be complete to be accepted. This includes contact information, team name and entry numbers for all participants. Team forms (with any changes) will only be accepted at Registration at the match. Team registration is closed when registration closes for the match on Sunday. Team forms mailed or faxed to GSSF will not be accepted.

180.40 Team awards are 1st, 2nd and 3rd place plaques (depending on the number of team entries). Only one plaque is normally awarded per team. If you wish additional plaques, please contact our plaque vendor. The plaque vendor (current as of January, 2004) is subject to change without notice.

190.00 match results and aWards

190.10 “Raw” scores will be posted on GSSF’s website, www.gssfonline.com following the match. This initial posting will not include any prize distribution information. Competitors should check their carbon scoresheet copies against the raw scores for accuracy. If any apparent discrepancies are found, competitors finding apparent errors should report them to GSSF as soon as possible. The scoring will be reviewed, appropriate corrections made, and corrected results reposted.

Repostings may not take place for several days after discrepancies have been reported. When there have been no further corrections for a reasonable time, the prize information will be added, results and awards posted, and awards issued. Any discrepancies found after that time will not be corrected. Hard copies of match results will be mailed to only those match participants who specifically request by mail or fax that a hard copy be sent to them.

190.20 Prize Allocation There will be two classes of awards. “Performance” awards based upon each individual competitor’s winning performance within each division he or she shoots, and “Random” awards based upon the overall size of the match. Random awards will be distributed across the entire match and will not be division-specific.

The number and types of both “Performance” and “Random” awards will directly coincide with the final number of valid match entries completed at that match.

190.25 MatchMeister The MatchMeister “Performance” award will continue to go to the single best performance among the Civilian, Guardian, Subcompact, Competition or MasterStock divisions by either an Amateur or Master competitor. The prize will be a GLOCK firearms certificate.

190.30 Special Category Performance Awards GSSF awards $75 Special Category Performance cash awards within the Civilian and Guardian divisions. These are awarded to the highest-placing competitors who qualify and clearly indicate their eligibility for such when they register. There is no extra fee required to compete for these awards.

Please note that the Special Category Performance awards do not apply to the Subcompact, Competition, MajorSub, Master-Stock or Unlimited divisions. All competitors who choose to compete within those divisions compete head to head without regard to age, gender, physical handicaps or civilian or guardian status.

190.60.2 Random firearms awards will be awarded across the board of all match entries. A Random firearms award will not supersede a Performance firearms award.

190.60.4 Random firearms awards are not subject to the “Share the Wealth” rule (90.120).

190.60.6 Random cash awards will be awarded across the board of all match entries. A random cash award will not supersede a larger Performance award.

190.60.8 Membership Extension in Lieu of $50 Random Cash Awards The $50 random cash awards will be awarded to only those winning members whose membership expiration dates are more than one year from the match date, as of the date the match awards are issued. For those winning members whose membership expiration dates are less than one year from the match date, the member will receive an automatic two-year extension of his or her GSSF membership in lieu of the $50 random award.

190.70 Firearm Awards Except as otherwise provided herein, basic nocharge firearm awards are the winner’s choice of a GLOCK G17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 31, 32 or 33 firearm equipped with standard fixed polymer sights. Other GLOCK firearm models and sight options are available subject to the winner’s payment of the appropriate upgrade fee to GLOCK, Inc. (see Award Firearm Upgrades, 190.75).

190.75 Award Firearm Upgrades There is no upgrade fee involved if the winner of a firearm chooses any of the basic models G17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 31, 32 or 33 firearms with fixed polymer sights. If the winner wishes to upgrade his or her award firearm with upgraded sights, or to another of GLOCK, Inc.’s available models, they may do so by paying the applicable award firearm upgrade fee detailed in the voucher the winner receives. All award firearms are subject to availability. Upgrade fees include applicable federal excise taxes and shipping charges, but do not include any applicable state or local taxes.

190.80 Membership Promotion – New Member Drawing GSSF will award one firearm award certificate per match as follows. For each new GSSF member an existing GSSF member brings to the match, he or she will receive one entry in the New Member Drawing. Since new members who bring themselves to the match are also eligible for this drawing, all new members will also be eligible for this drawing, including those new members brought to the match by an existing member. All such new members

will also receive one entry in the New Member Drawing. Pre-registered competitors who wish to “claim” a new member, and to be entered in the drawing must send registrations/ membership applications together with a note that makes the claim clear to GSSF. Walk-up competitors must notify the Match Registrar if they are participating in the drawing with a new member during registration hours, at the match. If a current member wishes to “claim” a new member, they must do so at registration with the new member. No exceptions. If two or more new members attend a match together, they can “claim” each other; however they must be present together at registration. New Member Drawing registration will be closed when registration closes at GSSF matches. No exceptions. GSSF will not accept phone/mailed membership drawing entry requests after registration closes for that given match. For the purposes of this section, “New Member” shall include any GSSF member who joined GSSF within one year prior to the match date, but who has NOT attended any outdoor GSSF match during that prior year.

190.120 Master Class Firearms Award Distribution In order to “share the wealth” of firearms awards among our Master class competitors, any one individual Master-class competitor may win one (1), but only one, “Performance” firearm award per GSSF match. This paragraph shall not be construed as meaning that any one Master, through some combination of first, second, or other place finishes, may be awarded more than one “Performance” firearm award per match. If the Master-rated competitor is the top finisher in more than one division, he or she will receive the firearm awarded under one of the divisions (at GSSF’s sole option), and the next available cash award, if any, in the other division(s). Generally, the “priority” order of such firearms awards will be “MatchMeister,” then “MasterStock,” then “Unlimited,” then equally “Competition or Subcompact or Majorsub” (upgraded awards). “Random” firearms awards are not subject to this rule.

190.130 Bond Awards to Junior Competitors Due to federal law, firearms may not be awarded to competitors who will not reach their 21st birthday within the GLOCK Professional then-current fiscal year. GLOCK Professional’s fiscal year always closes as of March 31.

Where permitted by State law it may be possible for a GSSF competitor who has reached the age of 18, but who is less than 21 years of age to transfer his or her legal interest in a firearms

page Twenty-Three© GLOCK, 2010The GLOCK Report® / Volume I, 2010

award to a parent or legal guardian. If this is the case, contact GSSF to explore the matter.

For any other competitor who wins a firearm award but whose 21st birthday will fall on any date on or after April 1, 2010 the competitor will instead be awarded a $500 (maturity value) savings bond in lieu of any firearms award.

The issuance of any Bond award requires that GSSF obtain the Social Security number of the Bond recipient.

190.140 Bond awards to competitors residing outside the United States of America or in states with laws or regulations that preclude the award of firearms to their residents In recent years some state governments have created laws, regulations or other conditions whereby GLOCK, Inc. may not deliver firearms to winning GSSF members who reside in those states. It is also not practical to award firearms across international borders, the Canadian border in particular. In such instances, GSSF will award the above-described savings bonds in lieu of firearms awards. If and when such obstructions are lifted and/or the situation changes so that firearms are once again deliverable, deliveries to eligible GSSF winners residing in those states will resume. For those recipients who are U.S. residents, the issuance of any Bond award requires that GSSF obtain the Social Security number of the Bond recipient.

190.150 Firearm Awards to California Residents Residents of California may receive only GLOCK firearms that have been “approved” by the state. As of November, 2005, California has approved all models of GLOCK firearms that GSSF makes available as firearm awards including the G37, G38 and G39. Such approval is subject to periodic renewal. If such approval has expired at the time any such awards are to be issued, GSSF, at its sole option, may issue the above-described Bond awards in lieu of the normal Firearms Certificate. For the latest information concerning such certifications we suggest that you consult the California state internet website at www.caag.state.ca.us. California residents should also be aware that Federally Licensed dealers within California must also be licensed as a “California Firearms Dealer.” When submitting an award certificate for redemption in accordance with Section 190.160 below, the Dealer must include both a copy of his Federal Firearms License as well as a copy of his letter from the California Department of Justice acknowledging his status as a California Firearms Dealer. (CFD)

190.160 Firearm Award Deliveries Competitors receiving firearm award certificates must redeem their certificates by mail. Please follow the detailed instructions included with the certificate. In order to process award certificates, GLOCK, Inc must be mailed a current Federal Firearms License (FFL) with the original ink signature of the FFL holder to whom the competitor wishes the GLOCK firearm award be sent. FFL copies without the original signature will not be accepted regardless of whether an FFL holder has an FFL, or even multiple FFLs on file with GLOCK, Inc or not. If the FFL holder is hesitant to release a copy of the FFL, complete the award certificate and bring an envelope with appropriate postage to the FFL holder and request that the FFL holder mail the certificate to GLOCK, Inc. along with their FFL copy.

Most award certificates will be processed within 12 weeks upon their arrival at GLOCK Professional. Please inquire about the status of an award firearm only after the 12-week processing period has lapsed.

GLOCK produces particular models of GLOCK firearms based upon the number of orders that are in hand for that particular model. The less demand there is for a particular model, the longer it will be between production runs for that model. Therefore, the 12-week processing period should be considered as an approximation ONLY and NOT as a commitment as to a specific delivery period. The actual delivery time for any given model may actually be in excess of 12 weeks.

190.170 Taxes We are required to report to the Internal Revenue Service any competitor who wins the aggregate cash equivalent of $600 or more per calendar year in firearms, cash and/or bonds at GSSF matches. We are also required to provide a 1099 statement to these competitors. For reporting purposes, we will therefore require the Social Security numbers of any competitors who participate in GSSF matches who exceed $600 in winnings in a calendar year. Social Security numbers will be kept confidential.

Shooter LingoShooter Lingo180 or “One Eighty” Imagine a line between the shooter and the center of the target array the shooter is to engage. The “180” is an invisible line or plane perpendicular to that center line running directly through the shooter’s outstretched hands. It is generally parallel to the back of the range. Under no circumstances, is the muzzle of the firearm to pass that line or plane for safety reasons.

Ammo Ammunition

Armorer Person certified by GLOCK to inspect and perform maintenance and repairs on GLOCK pistols. Usually present at every outdoor GSSF match. His presence cannot be guaranteed.

Bagged /Unbagged Targets covered or uncovered with clear plastic bags in wet conditions.

Barrel Component of the GLOCK pistol that fits into the slide.

Brass Cartridge case ejected from the firearm.

Calibrate Test, performed by the Range Master, on steel targets to ensure that they will fall when hit by 9x19 factory ammunition.

Category Special recognition within a division at GSSF matches.

Chamber Refers to the area of barrel where loaded rounds are fed and are to be fired.

Christmas Tree An assemblage of cardboard, “binder” clamps and target stands used to hold the scoresheets of an established “squad” in the proper shooting order for all to see.

Class/Classification Designates the ability level of the competitor (amateur or master).

Cold Describes the status of the range and means that loaded firearms are not permitted on the range.

Courses of Fire GLOCK ’M, Five to GLOCK and GLOCK the Plates.

D-1’s “Tombstone” shaped paper targets with scoring rings used at GSSF matches.

Division Civilian, Guardian, Subcompact, MajorSub, Competition, Master-Stock and Unlimited. Amateurs may compete in up to six divisions at GSSF matches. Master class shooters may compete in up to five divisions. Within certain divisions, amateurs and masters may be competing for different prize “sets” so that one is not taking prizes away from the other.

Double Tap Two shots fired on one target consecutively without reacquiring a separate sight picture before the second shot. Generally a VERY close range tactic that is not recommended for GSSF matches as the target distances are too far for it to be sufficiently accurate, especially for Amateur-rated competitors.

DNF Did Not Finish. A competitor who did not finish all three required courses of fire per entry.

Draw When a firearm is removed from a holster. To be done with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times.

Engage To fire a shot(s) at a target.

Entry Payment and registration for one division at GSSF matches.

Eject Refers to the action of spent cases or loaded ammunition. Spent cases are “ejected” from the side of the GLOCK pistol after being fired.

“Eyes and Ears” Range command indicating that live fire is about to commence or recommence, and that all in the vicinity should don or already be wearing proper eye and ear protection.

Freestyle Method of shooting where it is the shooter’s preference as to which hand(s) to use. Usually means to shoot using both hands to hold the handgun.

Factory Ammunition Ammunition produced commercially using virgin components.

Feed Refers to the action of bullets pushed up from the magazine and into the chamber of the barrel before being fired.

“Finger” Warning to remove your finger from the trigger.

“Frag” Fragment of a bullet after it has struck a hard, usually steel, surface. It can fly with surprising energy and distance. They are a primary reason why eye protection must be worn by all present, at all times while shooting is in progress, even if the shooting is taking place in a nearby shooting bay.

Frame Lower grip portion of the GLOCK pistol.

“Hot” Describes the status of the range. It means that there is, or soon will be, a loaded firearm on the range. It usually further means that firing is imminent, and that all present should ensure that their eye and ear protections are in place.

“In the hole” As in baseball, the shooter third in line to shoot the stage.

Low Ready Start position for every stage where muzzle is pointed in the direction of the targets, at or parallel to the ground with both arms tucked in so that the forearms touch the torso.

Mag Magazine

Mike Miss on a target

“Muzzle” Warning, usually shouted by the range officer, to watch the direction your muzzle is pointed in; that your muzzle is approaching the “180.”

Negligent Discharge Unintended, and inherently unsafe, discharge of the firearm. It is grounds for ejection from the match.

“On deck” As in baseball, the shooter second in line to shoot the stage.

Overhand Method Support hand used to pull the slide to the rear by pulling back on the rear slide serrations.

Pasters Tan colored stickers used to cover holes made by shots fired on target.

Plates Steel discs used in GLOCK the Plates. Usually 8" in diameter, but can vary from club to club.

Pepper Popper See “Popper”

Popper Steel target used in the GLOCK ’M.

Procedural Earned by the competitor if he or she commits course of fire infractions, or causes unnecessary delay. It adds 10 seconds to total stage time per occurrence.

Pre-registered Competitor who has registered for the match in advance by fax, mail or online at www.gssfonline.com

Range Master GSSF employee in charge who oversees range officers and all procedural and safety issues on the range.

Range Officer Host club person who immediately supervises range safety and the competitor as he or she shoots the stage.

Raw Scores Interim scores posted without awards.

“Ready?” Question asked by range officer before “standby” command.

Registration Where you pay, receive your scoresheet labels and join or renew at GSSF matches. Any scoring issues that cannot be resolved at the shooting bay where they occurred should be reported to Registration.

Reload Remove magazine from firearm and insert a loaded or “fresh” magazine into the firearm. If the chamber is empty, retract the slide so as to chamber a round.

Reloads Non-factory ammunition that reuses a cartridge case that has been fired before.

Reshoot When a competitor’s score cannot be recorded, or a non-shooter-induced malfunction occurs, a range officer or the Range Master will allow the competitor to shoot the stage again for score.

Rounds Ammunition.

Safety Zone Designated area where firearms can be handled. NO AMMUNITION HANDLING ALLOWED.

Scoresheet Paper used at the stage location to record your scores at each stage. At GSSF matches, usually a 2-part carbonless form allowing the competitor to retain a copy of his or her performance.

Seat (Magazine) Inserting magazine fully into a GLOCK pistol until it locks into place.

Shoot Thru’s A shooter not having to wait his or her turn on the sign-in sheet. Usually a range officer who must finish shooting in order to return to manning a stage.

Support Hand Often referred to as “weak” hand, non-primary shooting hand.

Tap/Rack Method used to recharge your pistol, usually to remedy a malfunction. This usually happens when a competitor fails to seat the magazine fully and thus, a round is not chambered. Competitor, with his/her finger off the trigger, “taps” the bottom of the magazine to seat it and pulls/ “racks” the slide to the rear to successfully chamber a round.

“Tapers” Request for competitors to assist with taping the targets AFTER they have been scored.

Timer Electronic device. Records elapsed time of a “String.” Sounds a buzzer when activated, and shows the elapsed time of the last shot of a string.

Tombstone Shape description of NRA D-1 target.

“Unload and show clear” Range command to remove the magazine from the firearm and lock the slide to the rear, thereby ejecting any chambered round—proving to the range officer that the firearm is unloaded. The unloaded firearm is then holstered with the slide back, or stored in a transport container of some sort.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct Inappropriate, gross behavior that will not be tolerated at GSSF matches. Defined as any behavior the Range Master deems to be “unsportsmanlike.”

“Up” As in baseball, the shooter called to the line to shoot the stage.

Walk-up Competitor who is not pre-registered in the match.

W e here at GSSF have noticed something that we do not understand.

Master-ranked competitors are eligible to compete against other Master competitors in the “Master- Competition” division. Their scores in this division are always eligible to win the “Match Meister” award no matter the size of the match nor the number of Masters who choose to shoot in that division. If a Master does not happen to own a longslide GLOCK, they can always shoot whatever stock GLOCK they shot in the “MasterStock” division.

Despite this, we notice that at no fewer than 24 of the first 35 GSSF matches during the 2009-2010 match season, there were more Masters who shot in the “MasterStock” division than shot in “Master-Competition.”In other words, those Masters who did not shoot in “Master-Competition” passed up a chance at winning another—MatchMeister—GLOCK firearm at

those 24 matches.Moreover, in 13 of those 24 matches there were more

than 10 Masters who DID shoot Master-Competition. So the 1st Place Master Award was upgraded to a GLOCK firearm. So at those matches, those Masters who did shoot “MasterStock” and who did not shoot “Master Competition” passed up two chances to win one of the two GLOCKs available for that one additional match entry!

In addition, in 4 other of these 24 matches a total of 8 or 9 Masters shot “Master Competition.” Another one or two Masters shooting in that Division, who were present at the match judging from the number who shot MasterStock, could have upped the 1st prize to a firearms award at those matches as well.

We are curious, Masters. Why are you passing up these opportunities to win GLOCKs when you are present at the match anyway?

If shooter has a second such malfunction shooter is to remove the faulty equipment and ammunition from the line and allow the match to proceed. Competitor should consult the Armorer or change ammunition or otherwise take whatever steps are necessary to correct the problem. Once corrected, shooter is allowed to reshoot the Course of Fire to obtain a “clean” run for final score.

When competitors complete the course of fire, have them unload and show clear. All firearms must be secured in a GLOCK box, bag or suitable container before anyone is allowed downrange. Unloaded firearms secured in holsters will have the slide locked to the rear.

Stages To Be Fired:

staGe procedure

4 Strings of Fire:At the signal, engage each of six (6) D-1 targets in any order with one round only. No stacking allowed.

All firearms may be loaded to division capacity.

Competitor will be instructed to reload their GLOCK firearm between each string. Competitor may not reload during a string of fire. Firearm will be loaded with no more than 11 rounds, 7 rounds for MajorSub. However, there is little point in loading more than 6 or 7 rounds per string for any division entry, including MajorSub, since ONLY six rounds may be fired per string.

Glock scorinG Scoring: 24 scored rounds

Targets: 6 NRA D-1 Targets (or other comparable target)

Scored Hits: Any A, B or C hit: 0 seconds Any D hit or complete miss: +

10 seconds

Start-Stop: Audible – Last shot

Penalties: Procedural: + 10 seconds Extra shot: + 10 seconds Miss: + 10 seconds

Note: Scoring for each round will be either a hit or miss. A hit touching on or inside the “C” ring = hit. Not touching and outside the “C” ring = miss.

setup notesEstablish a centerline on the range and a start position. Set targets at appropriate distances from the start position and centerline.

Targets are set one (1) foot edge to edge. Targets 1, 3 and 5 are set on an even plane. Targets 2, 4 and 6 are set 15" lower than targets 1, 3 and 5.

Note: Firing point is at the center of the target array (centerline runs between targets 3 and 4).

Distances and heights may vary at the discretion of the Range Master due to range conditions and safety.

ro notes

Hits must only touch the “C” scoring line to be scored as a hit. Benefit of the doubt is awarded to the competitor.

Firearm will be loaded with no more than 11 rounds, 7 rounds for MajorSub. Competitors will be assessed extra shot penalties for each extra shot fired. Competitors will not be assessed any extra hit penalties for any extra hits on a target. Only the extra shot penalty will apply.

Re-shoots can be awarded to the competitor in the case of range equipment malfunction or failure or due to scoring errors or omissions. If competitor has an equipment or ammu-nition failure, competitor may have one re-shoot attempt at a “clean” run. If shooter has a second such malfunction shooter is to remove the faulty equipment and ammunition from the line and allow the match to proceed. Competitor should consult the Armorer or change ammunition or otherwise take whatever steps are necessary to correct the problem. Once corrected, shooter is allowed to reshoot the Course of Fire to obtain a “clean” run for final score.

Map not to scale

Registration opens approximately 9AM both days and closes at

3PM on Saturday and 2PM on Sunday.

Match begins approximately 9AM both days.

Our current understanding of the new New Jersey law concerning ammunition is that GSSF members who are not residents of New Jersey will NOT be required to possess a State of New Jersey Firearms ID card, or any other document or license issued by the State of New Jersey, to transport either firearms or ammunition to or from the Jackson, New Jersey GSSF match.

However, without the appropriate New Jersey licenses GSSF members will NOT be able to purchase handgun ammunition while in the State of New Jersey.

Ammunition will NOT be sold at the match. Effectively, members also may not “borrow” or “lend” ammo to any other member while at the match.

So, be sure to bring enough ammunition to shoot all of the division entries you intend to shoot, plus enough extras for possible reshoots or warm-up events.

Take home any leftover ammunition.

The award for GSSF Indoor League Range of the Year will be given to one of our participating ranges voted #1 by our members. The range receiving the award will be featured as the Top Indoor GSSF Range in an article

in the Vol. 1 GLOCK Report 2011. Also, the range will receive a beautiful award plaque to proudly display their accomplishment.

This award will be determined by GSSF Member attendance, recruiting of new and renewal memberships and by member nominations. Nominating members must have participated in a match series at the range they are nominating for this prestigious award between January, 2010 and December, 2010. Nominations will not be counted beyond December 31, 2010. Only one nomination per GSSF member will be accepted. Please email your choice for Range of the Year to melanie.maness@glock.us stating all of the reasons that you feel that your range is especially deserving of this award. All member input will be carefully considered, and is greatly appreciated. Make sure that your favorite range gets the recognition that they deserve—all of them work very hard to provide a terrific, safe and fun event for all who attend.

Thank you to all of you who host GSSF Indoor League Series. Your hard work and time spent is so valued by all of us here at GSSF. I wish that I could award each and every one of you. We are having such a great year, and I enjoy working with everyone. Keep up the good work! You never know which range may be the GSSF Range of the Year.

Shoot well!

Melanie C. ManessGSSF Indoor League Coordinator

(Continued on page 58)

While there are many locations of exceptional quality participating as host ranges for the GSSF Indoor League, Palmetto Indoor

Range was voted “Range of the Year” by our Members. The GSSF crew would like to thank Mr. Soto and his whole staff for their excellent representation of the Indoor League program.

Excellent service, friendly atmosphere, exceptional safety measures, fair prices and fun are just some of the qualities that have made Palmetto Indoor Range in Hardeeville, South Carolina, the GSSF Indoor League Range of the Year.

Palmetto Indoor Range has 10 bays for shooting anything from .22 handguns to machine guns. Besides being a family-oriented facility, its computer-driven, timed and turning target system has led several local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to utilize Palmetto Indoor Range as their primary training center.

According to Mr. Soto “We are so happy that the GLOCK match participants liked our range and our volunteers so much that they voted for us as the GLOCK Range of the Year! We are truly honored!”

“I want to vote for Ed Soto’s Palmetto Indoor Range in SC. He runs a tight ship in that rules are explained from the beginning and followed. Safety first! Ed and his staff take the time to teach, answer questions and just to chat. It is a very friendly and pleasant environment. I have been going to Ed’s range for about a year and have enjoyed the experience and have improved my shooting skills. The range is clean and neat. Thumbs-up for Palmetto Indoor Range!!”

“I would like to nominate Palmetto Indoor Range, Hardeeville, SC for this honor. My reasons are:• Most important, Ed Soto (owner) schedules at least two GSSF matches every year. We don’t have a whole

lot of ranges that are reasonably close to this area and the opportunity to shoot twice is much appreciated.• The range is very friendly and welcoming to all shooters, regardless of whether they are members or not. Prices

for ammunition, etc. are reasonable.• The match environment is excellent and the computer-controlled targets are a pleasure to use vs. the voice-

controlled targets at other ranges I have used.• Safety is always foremost, and the emphasis Ed and his staff put on it gives me great comfort.• Last but not least, Beretta, Ed’s black lab mix is always on hand to amuse.”

— Joe Zimmerman

“Palmetto Indoor Range rocks! I really love to shoot at Ed’s range! He really treats me with respect and is a great teacher when it comes to shooting. He treats me like a daughter when I come in and I really appreciate that so much! I hope to shoot in one of your matches in the spring at Ed’s range. It’s great to be able to try a gun before you buy it, and I love the 9mm Glock. Ed really deserves this award. He has worked very hard to make his range the best in the region. And I think that he has succeeded!”

Glock Gen4 pistols out-of-the-boxour purposes here, each consists of five steel targets. You draw, fire and hit 4 targets in any sequence and then hit a fifth designated stop plate to stop the time. There are five strings per stage. The worst time of the five is thrown out, so your score for a stage is the elapsed time of your four best strings for that stage. The elapsed time on each stage is added to arrive at your final match time or score.

For local monthly matches, Griffin uses five of the eight standard stages. Therefore, your score consists of elapsed time necessary for 20 individual “draws” engaging five targets each time, for a total of 100 targets.

I was issued a new in-the-box .40 Auto GLOCK G22 Gen4 shortly before the January, 2010 Griffin Steel Challenge match. The timing was such that I did not have time to shoot it to even check the sight settings. However, I was curious as to how it would perform in a match environment “cold,” straight out of the box with standard GLOCK sights.

I subsequently took third place out of 11 shooters in the “Production” division, with a total elapsed time of 87.27 seconds. An average of 4.36 seconds to draw, fire and hit 5 separate targets, repeated 20 times. The functioning of the out-of-the-box G22 Gen4 was flawless!

Prior to the February, 2010 match, I was again issued a new in-the-box 9mm GLOCK G17 Gen4. I decided to again shoot the match with this brand new GLOCK “cold,” straight out-of-the-box, again without even checking the settings of the standard GLOCK sights. What made this more interesting was that this time, one of my squadmates was fellow GLOCK Employee Dave Sevigny.

For those of you who do not know Dave, in recent years he has won approximately 150 state, area, national, and World Champion titles in USPSA/IPSC, IDPA and Steel Challenge Competitions. He is currently the Steel Challenge Limited National Champion—among the many other titles that he holds.

To shoot against him in a local monthly match is a privilege. In this case, it also allowed for a direct comparison between the average competitive shooter, me, using an out-of-the-box GLOCK G17 Gen4 with stock

sights against him and his match-tuned and sighted GLOCK G34, with which he has won numerous championship titles.

Not surprisingly, Dave won the “Production” division with a total elapsed time of 53.52 seconds, or a smoking average of 2.68 seconds to draw, fire and hit five separate targets repeated 20 times!

Whereas, the average shooter, me, took 4th place out of 14 shooters with a total time of 81.09 seconds, or an average of 4.05 seconds to draw and hit those 5 targets 20 times. The functioning of the brand-new, out-of-the-box GLOCK G17 Gen4 was again, flawless.

So, Dave’s 2.68 seconds subtracted from my 4.05 second average works out to a difference of 1.37 seconds between us for each of those 20 draws.

Any day that I can be within 1.37 seconds for twenty draws and 100 targets of a world beater like Dave, using an out-of-the-box 9mm G17 Gen4, is a good day for me.

It also tells me that my gun handling skills just might suffice, if I ever need them!

Lastly, remember my January average of 4.36 per draw with the harder-recoiling .40 Auto GLOCK G22 Gen4, versus the February average of 4.05 per draw using the lighter-recoiling 9mm GLOCK G17 Gen 4? A measley average difference of 3/10s of a second over 20 draws!

These times indicate, to me, the basic “shootability” of these latest GLOCK firearms right out-of-the- box.

Pistol Giveaway WinnerVolume I, 2010

Pistol Giveaway WinnerI had the opportunity to attend a GLOCK Armorer’s

course last month. It was truly one of the highlights of my GSSF membership. Joel Hodges was an outstanding instructor. His teaching was entertaining, as well as educating. Joel made sure everyone in the class understood every aspect of the functions of the GLOCK pistol. He offered a great deal of personal real-life experience that added greatly to my knowledge of the GLOCK.

I now truly understand how my GLOCK “Safe Action” pistols work. The elegant simplicity of the design is amazing. I now have the confidence to completely disassemble and reassemble my GLOCKs. I know how to do safety and function checks, and trouble-shoot problems if I ever need to. I have owned GLOCKs since the late 1980’s or early 1990’s, and have never experienced a pistol-related malfunction. We also got to meet Tory Neilson, the GLOCK District Manager for the area. I want to thank GLOCK for making the Armorer’s Courses available to GSSF members. I highly recommend the course to all. It will greatly increase your enjoyment of your GLOCK.

She Had a (GLOCK) Blast!I am continually amazed at how well the GLOCK pistols

perform and how easy they are to shoot. In August, 2009, I took a friend of mine to a local GSSF match. She had never shot a pistol before that day, and had planned to just watch me shoot that day. Because the match happened to not be too crowded, I thought that she would have more fun if she was participating rather than just watching. She signed up for the match and was entered, with no previous shooting experience.

I let her borrow my G17 for the day, and one of the range officers was kind enough to pull her aside and give her some initial instructions. He spent about 10 minutes with her—giving her some basic safety instructions, as well as telling her how to hold the G17, load it, aim and fire it. He told her how to properly place the firearm in her hand, and how to push the gun forward with the trigger hand and pull back with the other hand to steady the gun. He loaded one cartridge in the pistol for her first shot and instructed her to shoot a 6 inch plate about 20-25 yards away. Her first shot was a bulls-eye! He repeated this a few more times, and she repeated hitting the plate near the center.

She eventually missed a few shots when she ap-parently started to try to compensate for the recoil. I suggested that she dry fire the pistol at that point so we could see if that was the case. She removed the magazine and unloaded the pistol. She then pulled the slide back to reset the trigger with the pistol unload-ed and aimed it at the same target. When she pulled the trigger she was amazed that she pushed the pistol forward and down to attempt to compensate for the recoil she expected. Upon learning this basic human response to shooting a handgun, she again took a few more practice shots with the pistol loaded and began to hit the target again. I was amazed at how quickly she learned how to shoot the GLOCK and how well she performed from the start. She took only about 10 prac-tice shots in all before she entered the match.

She did an absolutely incredible job of shooting that day. She wasn’t the fastest out there, but she learned a lot and her accuracy was incredible. With just a little bit of instruction, the GLOCK handguns are really very easy to shoot. On “GLOCK the Plates,” for instance, she initially missed a few of the plates on her first string, but on her second, third and fourth strings she took out all 18 plates. In “GLOCK ’M she didn’t miss any of the targets at all, with most of her shots falling in the center and first ring of the target. In the “5 to GLOCK” she missed only 3 of her 30 shots.

For the first time shooting a handgun, she did amazingly well. She had a blast that day, and is looking forward to the next match. I want to thank the range officer who helped us out, and thank GLOCK for making such incredibly accurate and easy-to-shoot handguns.

Say It with a GLOCKBeing a senior citizen, my personal choice and

recommended weapon is a GLOCK, for sure. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, easy to handle and above all, easy to shoot. And you don’t have to worry if you have the safety on or not. For all these reasons I have a GLOCK for home defense.

I am a firm believer in the Second Amendment right to own and bear arms (my GLOCK) to protect what’s mine. I hope and pray that I never have to use force to protect my family, but if I do, GLOCK will be there for me. Remember—say it with a GLOCK.

God bless America and God bless our troops.

Improving His Skills

On July 25 & 26, 2009, I had the pleasure of competing in the annual GSSF Match at the Oakdale Gun

Club (OGC) located in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Lake Elmo is located a few miles east of St. Paul. GLOCK’s annual GSSF matches at the OGC are highly anticipated by me and many others. You couldn’t have asked for better weather at this year’s match.

The past two years we had temperatures in the 80’s and approaching the 90’s, which is considered very hot weather in Minnesota. This year, however, we enjoyed high 70’s to 80° with low humidity, which made shooting this year a very pleasant experience. To begin our weekend of GLOCK shooting, three stage setups were arranged on Friday, July 24th by GSSF Match Coordinator, Scott Gilbertson. It was a pleasure working with Scott in the setup effort. Scott and our OGC GSSF Match Director meticulously set up the three stages with a focus on the overall safety of the match. On Saturday morning, Scott provided a briefing to the range officers (ROs). Scott covered a number of topics, including the latest information on the recent successes at GLOCK, the purpose and objectives of the GSSF matches, RO duties and responsibilities and the safety rules to observe during the match.

I began my pistol shooting following the purchase of my G17 and have participated in 3 GSSF Matches at the OGC. Additionally, I participate in our summer weekly United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) shoots, which occur every Thursday evening. I have noted continued improvement in my shooting ability as a result of this shooting experience. In the photo I am doing my

best to tackle “GLOCK the Plates.” I started my shooting activities later in life following my retirement.

I retired from the Department of Defense — Inspector General (DoD-IG) in 1999, and am now employed with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) in Minneapolis. I decided to expand my law enforcement interests, and started taking law enforcement classes. It was at that time that I purchased my G17, just prior to attending classes at the Center for Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement (CCJLE). It is my hope to obtain a licensed peace officer position some time in the near future. I have developed an ability to get the majority of my shots in the center of the target. Shooting in GSSF matches is a good way to assess and improve individual proficiency.

A New 500 Club Member

While reading a gun magazine one evening I came across an article about GLOCKs. The article

mentioned the GLOCK Shooting Sports Foundation indoor league and gave the web address for GSSF. I checked out the website and liked what I saw about the league being for stock guns. Having shot in some local

competitions where the equipment was real high dollar, the fact that everyone at GSSF used basically the same gun looked good to me. There was a range listed that is close to my house, so I decided to give it a try. The only problem—I didn’t own a GLOCK!

This happened on a Wednesday night. On Thursday I was in my local gun store and bought a G17. The first shot through my new gun was at the league shoot. I placed somewhere in the middle of “B” class for the first league. Since then I have improved, and on the third anniversary of starting I shot my first 500. The really cool thing about shooting a 500 was that so many of the people I have met over the last sev-eral years were as happy for me as I was for myself. What a great group of people these GLOCK shooters are!

Thank you, Gaston Glock, for inventing the G17! And thank you to all of the wonderful people at GLOCK whose hard work makes all of our GSSF shooting fun and safe.

Member’s CornerMember’s CornerBetter Late Than Never

I have been involved in the shooting sports for 39 years. During that time I began competitive handgun

shooting, which evolved into USPSA practical shooting. I have used a number of handguns, including a Colt 1911, a Browning Hi-power, several CZ clones, Para and Smith and Wesson autos and revolvers.

During this same time frame, a friend of 30 years or more began shooting GLOCKs and competing in GSSF matches. He is an excellent shooter and has won many, many pistols and other awards. Despite his success, I had no interest in “plastic” pistols. This all began to change in 2008. I had been competing for years in USPSA and wanted to try production class. I decided to examine the options.

I learned that GLOCK dominates this sport with over half of the competitors using one. CZ (and their clones), Smith and Wesson and Springfield Armory each had a bit over 10% of the market. These were the guns I was going to look at. My CZ clone would work and I was very familiar with it, but I didn’t like the initial double action trigger pull and the need to lower the hammer on a loaded chamber. Besides, I wanted something new. I didn’t care for the Springfield—it just felt too top-heavy and awkward. I did, however, like the Smith M&P. I went to one of my favorite gunshops where I could closely examine both.When I left I still wasn’t sure and decided to sleep on it.

After much thought, I decided on a G34. It had the reputation, superior availability of parts and accessories and perhaps most of all, I thought of my friend’s success and advice. After bringing it home I noticed a pamphlet discussing the GSSF matches. I went online to discover more and learned that there was going to be a GSSF

match just 2 hours from my home, on my birthday! I decided to go. Soon, I ran across a reasonably priced G26 and then a used G17 2nd generation GLOCK. I was ready to compete in the match. I practiced every chance I got this spring, and it showed—I placed in 3 of the 4 events I entered—HAPPY BIRTHDAY! During the match my G17 malfunctioned, and the RO directed me to the armorer. After an hour or so, and many new parts later my 17-year old G17 was repaired…at no charge! That is an outstanding example of a company standing behind its product. I was hooked.

I used my G34 in our local USPSA matches and then in a USPSA Area match, where I finished 2nd C class in production. I competed in another GSSF match and did well again and will be traveling to one more this year. I even used my G17 in a Swiss bullseye pistol match.

While GSSF and USPSA are somewhat different, they compliment each other. I try to slow down a bit and emphasize accuracy at the GSSF matches, with good results. This has translated to better accuracy at USPSA even when I “hit the gas pedal.”

What has impressed me this summer is how accurate the GLOCKs are. A G30SF that I fired placed 8 of 10 rounds into a 1” group at 25 yards. I had grown to expect such accuracy from the G34 and G17, but how was this possible with a sub compact? It seems that no mat-ter what I shoot through them, they shoot well. I don’t waste time looking for the perfect load. One reason may be the sights. While they are not especially exotic, my aging eyes can pick them up better than anything else

I have tried and this includes the fiber optic sight on my Witness.

While my preference had been for steel-framed guns before 2008, I am changing. From time to time, friends ask me what kind of pistol should they get. I would mention a few, including GLOCK and tell them buy what feels best to them. Today I just tell them to buy a GLOCK. I was discussing pistols one day with another friend and he referred to me as a “GLOCK Person.” I tried to correct him, telling him that I still like my 3 CZ clones and all the others. But he quickly reminded me that I now have 5 GLOCKs and asked me what will be my next pistol. I replied a G17, so that I could use it in Unlimited class at the GSSF matches, or a G35 for USPSA limited class. Maybe I AM a GLOCK person, better late than never.

A GLOCK Family Affair

I just got back from the GSSF match in Creedmoor, NC, and I just wanted to drop a quick line and tell

you how much fun I had today. This was my second GSSF match, and it was the first shoot of any kind that my wife and daughter have been to. I can’t tell you how great it was seeing them going from “there is no way I will ever compete” to “maybe I will try the plates at the warm up pit.” Needless to say, I was blown away when both my wife and daughter shot steel for the first time—my only gripe is that my ammo cost just tripled, but hey, that’s what GSSF is all about, right?

I shot in Major Sub and Civilian, and my times have been almost cut in half since my first shoot. The RO’s spent a great deal of time giving me advice on how they train, and a lot of good information on how to improve even further. I can’t wait to hit the range and work on getting better! I also took advantage of the GLOCK armorer on site at the Creedmoor shoot—he gave my G19 and G30SF once-overs just to make sure that

everything was in top shape for the match—both weapons were in perfect shape for the shoot.

I just wanted to say thanks, again, for making a product that my family and I can rely on. Not only do we use our GLOCKs to shoot in GSSF matches, but these are also our CCW weapons. I use GSSF to help keep shooting skills sharp, and it is working like a charm. Now my wife and daughter are asking about joining! I can only say “WOW,”—from not wanting to even shoot to wanting to join GSSF and compete in less than a year! Thanks, GLOCK, I couldn’t have done it without you.

Here are a couple of pictures from the GSSF match in Creedmoor, NC, on the left is me shooting my G30SF at the plates, and the second is of my wife and daughter at the warm up plate pit.

Lots of GLOCK Fun

I wanted to take this opportunity to pass along my thanks to all of the GSSF staff and GLOCK. This year

I was a Range Officer each day of the River Bend Ballistic Challenge II in Dawsonville, GA. I also helped set up and tear down the stages. The most rewarding aspect of the match was the great sportsmanship demonstrated by all of the competitors who participated in the match. I have never received so many thanks in one day. The match was a great success for all of the GLOCK shooters, the Range Officers and the personnel at GSSF.

On September 26th, I competed in the GLOCK Annual Shoot XVI. The registration process was very efficient and fast. As soon as my daughter and I left the registration area, we were met by the Gunny—R. Lee Ermey. That was one of the highlights of the match. I also met and spoke with Team GLOCK shooters: Dave Sevigny, Jessie Abbate and Randi Rogers. These guys are great to talk with, and they can shoot. While at the match I saw many of the competitors and Range Officers who attended the River Bend Match. After I shot my stages, I thanked them for their time and the hospitality of their club.

My daughter participated in the fun matches that were set up—she shot the GLOCK laser match and won! She picked out her prize—her own set of hearing protectors with the GLOCK logo. That was HER highlight of the day. We also watched the Gunny Challenge V. It was exciting to see all of the Match Meisters from all over the United States compete for the grand prize.

Again, thanks to GSSF and GLOCK for putting on such a great match. It was fun and exciting for both my daughter and me. She and I certainly look forward to the 2010 matches.

Getting Better and BetterI just have to comment on the new GLOCK RTF2 grip

surface. I was able to handle one these at a GSSF match and it is amazing how “sticky” this grip feels in the hand—I really like it. I have always liked the GLOCK grip whether it was a second generation or third generation with the finger grooves, but this new RTF2 grip just improves on an already “perfect” handgun.

My only complaint is that GLOCK just makes me want to add one of these to my collection and that means I’ll need a bigger gun safe. I guess that will be good for GLOCK and the gun safe manufacturers, but bad for my wallet. Thankfully, GLOCK is still priced where the average American with a steady job can own more than one.

Thanks, GLOCK, for continuing to stay on the cutting edge of handgun technology and making a great gun even better. I look forward to the years to come and new offerings from the best handgun company operating today.

No More MalfunctionsOn the 17th of October our county conducted

its annual “Harvest Shoot.” This is the match for all law enforcement personnel in our county. This is the second year that Mark Williamson, a GLOCK representative, has sponsored the match by providing door prizes. This year he also supplied the targets and brought a G18 for demonstration.

As a retired deputy sheriff, I enjoy the trigger time with the guys. My old department has just adopted the G21SF as its duty gun.

We shot the “GLOCK ’M” course (paper option). I was shooting, and had some malfunctions with my .45 1911. The representative loaned me his G17 TRF2 and ammunition so that I could finish. I was amazed at how light the recoil was, and how quick my recovery was between shots. Being a paraplegic and firing from a wheelchair calls for some adapting, but the GLOCK folks always go beyond the call of duty to help the match participants.

I plan on getting a G17 RTF2 and practicing with it for next year’s match.

A GLOCK Survives Again!T his might interest you regarding the GLOCK

finish and corrosion. In 2006, my first G17 was taken from my house, and later recovered during a robbery

by the Key West Police Dept. This gun was thrown into a flooded street during a hurricane, then recovered by the responding police officers. This uncleaned/unoiled gun was then placed in a sealed plastic evidence bag and evidence locker pending arrest of the subjects.

Three years later, this weapon was returned to me—still in the sealed evidence bag, and opened by the owner of B&H Gun Rack, Merritt Island Fl. and me. The weapon was gray and appeared discolored, but was easily disassembled and then sprayed with oil. The GLOCK finish magically regained its original finish, with no signs of rust nor corrosion. It looks like a new gun, except for the skid mark on the grip where it landed in the salt- and rain-water flooded street!!

How it survived the brackish water rinse, then the sealed evidence bag treatment for 3 years speaks extremely well for the GLOCK finish. I wish that we had taken “before” and “after” photos, and kept the Key West Police Department’s evidence bag, but we were too dumbfounded by the condition of the gun. I might even shoot this gun at the next GSSF match in Florida!

Yet Another ConvertA few weeks ago I was selling some of my gun

collection (not my GLOCK!) as my wife and I had recently been laid off.

A gentleman responding to my ad was looking at a .38 Special I had for sale and he asked if I might possibly have a .45 ACP to sell. I said I had a G30, but it was not for sale.

He replied that there was no way he would buy a GLOCK, they were too ugly!

I told him that in my opinion GLOCKs have a clean and functional design and look great. Furthermore, what is most important to you in a handgun? He said accuracy and, of course, it must not jam!

I also told him of torture tests where GLOCKs have been frozen, buried in mud, soaked in salt water, ponds, run over by a truck, not cleaned for thousands of rounds and still fire without a jam and are accu-rate. In fact, I told him, there is a torture test online by Bigbore of Adco Firearms documenting torture tests of a GLOCK that has been fired for over 150,000 rounds and 15,000 rounds without cleaning or maintenance, and it still fires and is accurate!

He said that maybe his thinking has been wrong and he is going to take another look at GLOCKs. Hurray! Another convert!

Great GLOCK Discoveries

I have a friend who I knew was into shooting handguns, and asked if he knew about any plate

shoots for handguns. He said he didn’t, but that he owned his own plate rack. He invited me to join him the next time he was going to set it up for practice, and I accepted. To my surprise, he set up an entire GSSF match to practice for an upcoming event in Marietta, OH. At the time, I had no idea about GSSF. While we were shooting, he informed me that this was exactly the same setup as at the GSSF match in Marietta. The match was just 2 weeks from the day we were shooting. He told me I needed to own a GLOCK to shoot in the match (at the time I didn’t own one). He said that he would let me borrow one of his for the match, and again, I accepted. He then handed me his GLOCK to practice with. Needless to say, I instantly fell in love. Not only with the gun, but also with the sport.

That was on Sunday. On Monday, I called my gun dealer, and ordered my very own G17C. I picked up the gun on Friday, went to a gun range for practice on Saturday and showed up on Sunday in Marietta. I was greeted by a very friendly Chris Edwards, who informed me when I joined GSSF, that my gun put me in the competition class. He was kind enough to loan me a plain barrel so I could shoot in the civilian class. I have a slight disability, and the fact that I could stand in one position to shoot, really made it ideal for me. When I went to my third stage, I told the range officers to take it easy on me, because I was a first-match virgin. I shot my first round, only to reach my last target out of ammunition. I had only loaded it with 8 rounds. The range officers talked over my situation, and allowed me to shoot that round over. I shot slowly and methodically to ensure that I didn’t miss.

When I was finished shooting, I joked with the guy who had invited me, saying, “I hope you are happy, you just cost me a lot of money. I am completely hooked on GSSF.” That is the truth, and I can’t wait to shoot in my next match! I have spent lots of time at the gun range practicing, bought a timer, D1 targets and lots of ammunition to get ready for my next match. I have even signed up for an Armorer’s class. I am planning to bring my daughter and her boyfriend to the next match. I am sure that they will both be as hooked as I was after my first GSSF experience!

Keep up the good work, and I will do my best to share my awesome experience with all of my shooting friends.

Accessory Advice

M y opinion is that GLOCK makes a fine pistol. I have never had one jam with factory loads. I like

the way that it points and fires. I installed a Laser Max Laser sight on the one I own, a G26 in 9mm.

In the photo you can see that I have a Blackhawk Holster with a paddle. It works well on the left side with a tilt forward. I can reach it, if needed, in the car with my seat belt on.

I heated a small brass rod with a pointed tip and touched the release button on the Blackhawk Holster to give it a textured feel which I can identify without looking. This makes it easy to find the button to release the GLOCK.

The Laser Max does not come on as soon as you draw the weapon. You have to push the breakdown catch either left or right. You don’t light on the draw.

Family Knows Best

A few years ago, after our son had enlisted in the military he called to chat. During our conversation I asked

his opinion of GLOCK pistols, as I had been reading about them in various publications. I was surprised when he said he had bought a G21 and really wanted to show it to me when we visited. I was talking with my eldest son (also in the military) a few days later, and he said he had purchased a G19. With both of them being satisfied with their GLOCKs, I went to our dealer, found the one I wanted to start with and bought a G19.

I have put well over 2000 rounds through this great gun and love the way it shoots. I have since purchased a G26 as a carry gun and feel very comfortable at the range or wherever I go, knowing that it shoots where I point and is dependable. My eldest son retired from the service in 2007—we attended the GSSF match in Lexington, KY that fall and had a ball. We are planning to go to more matches this coming year to have some great fun. Thanks for a great product.

Chris Edwards has been with GSSF since the beginning. He started out volunteering for USPSA and became a

Rangemaster/Instructor under their NROI program, then GSSF stole him away! Chris is a multi-talented individual and is called upon not only for GSSF, but to teach various training classes and anything else that comes up. There is no one better to introduce visiting dignitaries to the GLOCK pistol along with a little history lesson about GLOCK, Inc. Most recently, Chris has been instrumental in assisting the local NRA office with gun safety training for local judges when he is not out on the range for GSSF or training.
