WIN A GLOCK!WIN A GLOCK!

See Page 25

GLOCK has recently introduced new models in the Gen4 format, as the new

design technology continues to move into the GLOCK pistol product line. To review the next generation of GLOCK pistols, the fourth or “Gen4” has a number of notable improvements. These include a new three hundred sixty degree gripping surface on the exterior of the frame, a reversible magazine catch, a dual spring recoil spring assembly (DRSA), and other internal improvements.

Taking the models in numerical order, we’ll examine the Gen4 G21 first. Readers will recall that the GLOCK Model 21 in .45 Auto was introduced in the early 1990’s with the full-size GLOCK Model 20 in 10mm. Pistol magazines, especially in .45 Auto, had generally been reduced in capacity, and the 13 round capacity of the G21 magazine was an instant hit. Interestingly, the large frame GLOCK was developed for the 10mm cartridge adopted by the FBI at the time and as a birthday present for Mr. Glock. The .45 Auto cartridge could fit easily into the big envelope (that was not the case with the standard sized G17 frame) and was added to

the line. It quickly became a hot seller.Americans liked the .45 Auto cartridge, developed for US

military use early in the 20th century. Texas Rangers and tough big city detectives used it. And the progenitor of the SWAT team concept, LAPD, had adopted the cartridge; FBI HRT followed suit. The United States

Marine Corps tested an early G21, and recommended

its adoption if a new pistol

was to be procured. The G21, having been introduced in a “second” generation format, was upgraded to third generation receiver with finger grooves and accessory rail. It was the only GLOCK model to be produced with a Picatinny rail and ambidextrous mag catch (in the US at the time) in response to draft proposals from the US military. At present, the G21SF (for Short Frame), with a reduced

trigger reach and a standard magazine catch has been very popular.

And the popularity seems destined to increase with the Gen4. In addition to the aforementioned qualities, the Multiple Backstrap System (MBS) gives adaptability for different hand sizes to the big GLOCK. The Dual Spring DRSA changes the recoil impulse for the better, resulting in flatter and faster shooting. And, the new dot (‘.’) connector gives a notable trigger pull right at 5 pounds.

GSSF has expanded the ‘Major Sub’ Division to ‘Heavy Metal’, which allows the large frame guns to compete. The Gen4 21 seems perfect for it, as well as IDPA and 3 Gun competitions. Other famous GLOCK attributes, such as near-diamond hard rust resistant (Continued on page 3)

A nother historical milestone in the GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation was achieved over

the Memorial Day weekend this year, when GSSF and B.E.L.T. Training, LLC, ran the first ever “Ladies

Only” GSSF match outside of Charleston, SC. There were 105 entries with pink the predominant choice of color amongst the dozens of competitors.

It was a chance for the ladies to show what they were made of and shine in the sunlight without the haze of testosterone interfering!

The group of competitors were from all walks of life: homemakers, business owners, single mothers and law enforcement officers. Local Sheriff (Charleston County) Al Cannon, paid the entry fee for any female deputy competing. Fathers, husbands, brothers and sons were on hand to lend support and tote the gear and ammo. The women came from all across the region: North and South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee being the most common home bases.

South Carolina can be warm in May, but the volunteers and GSSF staff rose to the occasion, providing a safe and fun venue. And the usual GSSF socializing and networking

provided a pleasant experience. After the scores were tallied, Wei Young of North Carolina was the Match Meister for this first-of-its-kind event. It’s believed there will be others in the years to come. Ladies got to experience competition in a friendly and support-ive atmosphere. One novice competitor with a well-used and borrowed G19, had it basically rebuilt by the factory Armorer.

Special thanks to East Coast Guns, Josh “Lumpy” Cooper of Country Boy Enterprises for the BBQ, Melissa Pollutta of “Trash Gurl, LLC” for the support facilities (vital purple portable potties”!), and last, but certainly not least, Lisa Marie and Tommy Judy of B.E.L.T. Training for the idea, and the dedication to making it happen.

GSSF salutes the ladies!

finish and triple safety Safe Action fire control com-plete the package.

The GLOCK Model 34 in 9x19mm, developed specifically for the competition arena (and winning most every title possible) is perhaps the quintessential example of a competitive GLOCK. The Gen4 version with the MBS system makes it usable for almost everyone. It, along with its bigger brother the G35 in .40 caliber, will again be in the winners circle. In addition to competitive events, a number of law enforcement agencies have fielded the pistols and are very pleased with the results.

As with the earlier G17/22 Gen4s, the dual spring RSA affords increased longevity and control. The Practical/Tactical Models have had enhancements, e.g., an extended slide stop lever, and this remains true with the Gen4 models. The reversible magazine catch offers more catch area in the Gen4 models, and this definitely helps the new G34s. Other competition enhancements

include GLOCK adjustable sights and the competiton trigger assembly with ‘minus’ connector.

These new GLOCKs are the next step ahead for GLOCK and the shooting world!

Hitting the TargetBy Randi Rogers

In my opinion, one of the most satisfying things in life is taking your GLOCK pistol, aiming at a target and

hitting it square on. There are few sounds as wonderful as the ding you hear when a bullet hits a steel plate. While hitting the target sounds simple, it can sometimes be surprisingly and frustratingly difficult. Here are a few tips on hitting the target I would recommend to all shooters.

First, grip. If you hold the pistol incorrectly it can make it difficult to hit the target. The strong hand should grip the pistol straight on from the back with the back strap secured squarely in the web of your hand. This will put the pistol in line with the bones of your arm. Your strong hand needs to be as high on the pistol as possible with no space between the web of your hand and the beavertail. You need to be able to easily pull the trigger with the meaty part of the end

of your trigger finger, approximately half way between the first knuckle and the end of your finger. Very small hands or extremely large hands may have to shift the grip slightly one way or the other to reach the trigger

comfortably. Your support hand should be as high on the side of the pistol as possible sitting directly under the thumb of your strong hand. Both hands should be touching with no space between your thumbs. Grip the pistol firmly with both hands. Do not strangle the pistol because it will put a lot of tension in your arms and hands; however, you must grip firmly in order for the pistol to operate properly.

With a good grip it will be easier to line up the sights, which is the next important step to hitting the target. The correct sight picture has the front post placed squarely in the rear notch. There should be equal light on both sides of the post and the top of the post should be level across with the top of the rear notch. The most important thing about lining up the sights is that you must keep them lined up throughout the shot. Many new shooters will line up the sights then look at the target. When they shift their focus the sights move and they miss. You want to watch the sights all the way through the trigger pull seeing them rise with the recoil as the shot breaks.

The last step to hitting the target is trigger pull. This is probably the hardest skill to learn. When you pull the trigger squeeze straight back. Many new shooters tend to jerk the trigger because they are trying to counter act the expected recoil. Don’t be afraid of the recoil. When you pull the trigger you want to squeeze gently adding additional pressure slowly until the trigger breaks. It is very important that your finger move straight back. Don’t curl your finger because the sideways action will pull you off target. Be patient! As you gain more experience you will be able to shoot faster but in the beginning take your time and squeeze slowly allowing the shot to surprise you.

To recap: grip the pistol firmly straight on with both your hands as high as possible, line up the sights with the post positioned squarely in the notch and watch the sight picture throughout the whole shot. Finally, pull the trigger with the meaty part of your finger pulling straight back with a squeezing motion until the shot breaks. Just imagine, a beautiful sunny day, the smell of gun powder in the air and “DING”— the sound of a well placed shot hitting a piece of steel. Sounds like GLOCK perfection.

Meet our friends, Dan Johnson, Don Dyer and Pete Straub. These guys are members of a group of shooters that we see all over the southeast and sometimes as far west as Las Vegas, Nevada. You

see them at GSSF matches in their team colors. There is always a dinner arranged somewhere for Friday and Saturday night after the match. Everyone is invited and you can usually find the information out on one of the forums dedicated to GLOCK or GSSF.

Dan, Don and Pete are Members Emeritus, but there are more of them in other parts of the country, like multi-Gunny Challenge winner Butch Barton, and Dwight Parker from Minnesota, Ed Ellison from Ohio and down in San Antonio Texas, Donna and Tony Clemens. Bobby Carver, for whom the team is named, doesn’t get out to matches like he used to, mostly because he is busy back at Carver Mounts.

These guys bring out some other regulars, like Bobby Gross and Jim Mark. They come driving up in a big SUV and are always willing to help. You will find them on our RO crews at many of the matches here in the Southeast, like the GLOCK Annual Shoot. It is always a pleasure to have them at any of the matches they attend and they are great am-bassadors for the GSSF program and shooting in general. Thank you to Team Carver Mounts from all of us here in GSSF!

Iave been shooting GSSF matches since last year with my dad. Since shooting GSSF, I have won the

Junior High Female category for Amateur Civilian division three times. The first in Pensacola, the second in Griffin and the third in Knoxville. I know that I have to practice harder in order to better myself. My dad and mother keep encouraging me to study hard in school and practice in order to achieve my goals in GSSF. I want to be able to reduce my times during competition, and hope to shoot for Team GLOCK.

I also shot two entries at River Bend Ballistic Challenge this year. Plus, I helped RO, keep score and signed up squads. I am having a great time shooting and working the GSSF matches. My dad is having a great time too— seeing his shooting buddies, and working and shooting the matches. I also got to see some of my favorite GSSF folks again. I want to encourage other kids to come out and shoot with their parents; it is one of the fun ways to hang out with mom and dad.

I look forward to shooting and working many other matches in the future. See you there.

Before & AfterBefore

First of all, I just wanted to thank GLOCK, Inc and their staff for manufacturing (in my opinion), the most

reliable semi-automatic handgun ever manufactured (or what I like to call the AK of auto pistols).

As I write this, it’s two days before my first GSSF competition (or any competition for that matter), and I’m a little nervous but still looking forward to the event. Although I purchased my G21 in January 2011, I have yet to put any rounds through the gun for break-in purposes or practice, even though I have been meaning to for awhile now. While I have field-stripped and cleaned the gun, I have put in some time dry-firing it to get used to the trigger and sights. I have complete confidence that the gun will serve me well during the match.

After:Well, it turns out that I shot the Canton/Dawsonville River Bend Ballistic Challenge IV, and my confidence in this gun was confirmed. My G21 ran flawlessly, without any malfunction of any kind while firing approximately 130 rounds during the match. I wish I could say the same for my own performance! I should have gotten around to practicing, but, all in all, I believe I shot pretty well for my very first match AND the first time shooting my gun.

Thanks, GSSFThank you for my award(s) at the Table Rock

Challenge IV in Morganton, NC. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good!

GLOCK and GSSF have been very, very good to me! The guys at my office think there is a conspiracy between me and GSSF/GLOCK. I tell them that all they need to do is go to the range, practice and then give the competition a try.

Some good news for GLOCK is that we have begun changing out our 10-year-old GLOCKs for new Gen4 G17’s.

Thanks for all your hard work— on the range, in the office and with the corporate folks that may see these matches as liabilities or cost centers rather than great advertisements for GLOCK! After all, where else can an old, arthritic, myopic deputy sheriff win an occasional $50 random award for just showing up and having fun?

Member’s CornerMember’s CornerFirst-Time WinnerToday I shot for the first time in a competition. My

husband and I bought my G26 on June 4 of this year. I had previously only rented one, on the recommendation of a gun shop. I shot about 10 rounds in the rental G26. It felt much better than the ones I had tried in the past. We decided to wait for the local gun show to purchase one (or at least find out how much they cost). I was telling a friend about how I had rented a GLOCK, and was planning on purchasing one. He encouraged me greatly. His encouragement sold me on the G26. After the purchase, my friend also told me about GSSF (which I never thought I would participate in). I saw my friend again on Friday evening—he mentioned that there was a GSSF match the next day. I called my husband and told him about it. When I got home we went online and checked it out. I had looked at the GSSF info included with my GLOCK purchase, but didn’t know when the next event was being held; and wasn’t really thinking about joining until later in the year.

On Saturday my husband and I decided to drive up to River Bend Gun Club and just look around to see what a match was like.

The two women at the registration table were very encouraging and said to walk around and look at everything, which is what we did.Everyone we talked to was wonderful, helpful, interesting, etc. We decided to join GSSF right then, and sign up for the match.

On Sunday we drove up to River Bend, this time with the equipment we needed to participate in our very first match. I was nervous the night before, and hardly slept.

On the drive up I was also nervous. I have never done any shooting like this before. Neither had my husband.

We got there at 2:45 and asked where was the best place to start. We started with “5 to GLOCK.” I was scared and shaky, but I remembered what everyone kept saying. “It’s not about time, it’s about accuracy. Take your time and shoot. Don’t rush it.” I did take my time. I didn’t do too badly. I didn’t shoot fast, but that’s OK. Everyone says that will come with time.

Next we did “GLOCK ’M.” Again, I was slow but managed to knock the Pepper Poppers down. Finally, we did “GLOCK the Plates.” In first round I got 4 and missed 2, in my second round I hit 4 and missed 2 and in my third round I hit 5 and missed 1. In my last round I hit all 6 plates in 6 shots! I was so happy—I did it—I got them all. Yay for me! The Range Masters all clapped!

What a day we had! My husband shot all his plates in each round. Yay for him!

All in all, we had a great time and plan to attend the GSSF match in Conyers.

I just wanted to tell you all what a great bunch of people you have associated with GSSF. I was never made to feel like I couldn’t do it. Everyone was encouraging. River Bend Gun Club is a very nice facility.

Thank you all for providing an opportunity to shoot like this. I had such fun! By the way, I shot as a Senior Female (I am 61 years old). Thanks again to all of you at GLOCK and GSSF.

A Great Day!Ishot my first GSSF match last October in Tucson. I

had been competing in local action pistol matches for some time and heard about GSSF from a fellow shooter who was also the match director in Tucson. During the month prior to the match, I dedicated my dry fire practice to simulating the three GSSF stages as best as I could.

When match day arrived, I was impressed with both the administration of the match, and the pleasant folks working and shooting. Couples and families were very evident, along with many enthusiastic supporters of GSSF and other action shooting disciplines. The dry fire ended up paying off, as I ended up in second place in the Amateur Guardian division. The place prize was $100. The winner of the Amateur Guardian beat me by over 20 seconds, which was actually good, as it prevented me from second-guessing every part of the match as I would have if I’d been beaten by a small margin.

Not long before the match, I had traded for a barely-used 2nd Generation G17 which the GLOCK armorers

© GLOCK, 2011The GLOCK Report® / Volume II, 2011 page Fifteen

were able to look over and install a couple of upgrades the previous owner had somehow missed.

After the match, the preliminary results were posted quickly, but the final results took a month, which seemed like a very long time to wait. However, the timing couldn’t have been better. On November 18th, our third child (and first son) was born. After he was born, I went home to retrieve some items for my wife. I couldn’t help taking a quick glance at the GSSF website and the results were finally up. In addition to the $100 place prize, I had won a random drawing for a pistol with the new member promotion. What a day! I selected a Gen4 G17, and our little guy will likely inherit that pistol one day. I was already sold on GLOCKs as the best service pistol platform, and now I’m convinced that GSSF is a ton of fun!

Attack of the Plates…The 2010 GSSF “Remember the Alamo” Ballistic

Challenge was held in seventy-degree tempera-tures. The Texas sun was bright, and no cloud dared show itself during the match. Apparently this is Decem-ber in Texas. I was not about to complain.

The “GLOCK the Plates” stage was running well de-spite the large turnout of shooters. In Texas the stage is run with an earthen berm surrounding the firing line. Plate racks are located deep in the bay to safely capture stray bullets and other flying objects, or so I thought.

The previous summer’s growth of weeds and native plants essentially hid the berm behind the plates. After the signal I began shooting the plates from right to left with my trusty G17. My second round went high and flew into a mini-forest behind the rack. Suddenly, an object from behind the rack was flying end over end towards me! The cylinder-shaped UFO was shiny and about a foot in length. It cleared the plate rack, and onward it came. It was an empty aerosol paint can discarded in the weeds which had been hit with my stray round. How my 9mm bullet managed to reverse launch a spray can I will never know. Luckily, the can lost steam and landed short of my firing position. I had somehow managed to keep firing and clean the rack in a reasonable time. There was, of course, chuckling and giggles from the range officers and bystanders. In hindsight, I believe I was never in any real danger. Wear your safety glasses folks, you never know about them UFOs.

I have shot a few GSSF matches in my time, but I have never been attacked by the plates before. Yet again, another fun time at a GSSF match! I can’t recom-mend them enough.

GSSF, A Family AffairIfirst joined GSSF in 1997 or 1998. After attending my first

match in Richmond, VA in May 1999, I had so much fun I became a lifetime member the following month. I’ve been promoting GSSF as a family sport ever since.

When my wife and I were dating in 2004, I took her to a GSSF match in Richmond—just to watch. After a few hours she was not only hooked, but called her daugh-ter in northern Virginia to explain the competitions to her. Four weeks later, she joined me at the Waldorf, MD match. She had never held a pistol before that day, but after 30 minutes of instruction she shot the match. Just a few months later we were shooting the Statesville, NC match as a family. Hopefully, my ladies will be able to join me at the new match in Beckley, WV.

A Big League FanIave been shooting for many years but recently

purchased several GLOCKs and started shooting in the GSSF matches.

In Michigan we can shoot at Duncan’s Outdoor in Bay City, a very nice facility with an exceptional Range Master. He goes above and beyond to make the GSSF matches fun and challenging.

I also shoot at Total Firearms in Mason, MI. I asked the Range Master about sponsoring a GSSF Indoor League shoot at Total Firearms in 2011. We put together the three match dates for January, February and March 2011. We had a record turnout of shooters at our first League match, which ran very smoothly!

Naturally, this was work as our match dates were both Saturday and Sunday, but, what an enjoyable experience!

Of course, we received a lot of help, advice and support from Melanie at GLOCK in Smyrna. Melanie was invaluable in helping us to host our first League match!

I recommend that more clubs get involved with the GSSF Indoor League matches and host them.

Member’s CornerMember’s CornerTwenty Years with GSSFIbought my first GLOCK in 1991…a G21. That was to

be the first of many GLOCKs that I would own over the next 20 years. I shot it at my first GSSF match on June 27, 1992, in the Atlanta area (before the match was moved to Conyers). According to the “Women of GSSF” cover article by Cindy Noyes in the Volume 1, 2011 GLOCK Report, that was the first GSSF match open to the public. I still have my printout of the match results. Cindy shot the match, as well as Scott Gilbertson…a few years before they became GLOCK employees. Several others at that match are still shooting GSSF matches today.

The largest division was, of course, Civilian Amateur Class (as it was called then) with 160 entries. There

was also a Civilian-L Class (for the 17L, or “longslide”), an Out-of-Region Class and an Unlimited Class. These three classes had 3, 11 and 12 entries, respectively. The last 2 classes allowed civilian or law enforcement shooters. There were no G34s or subcompacts then, and no .40 caliber GLOCKs at all! As today, some shooters had more than one entry, so the actual number of shooters was fewer than the total of these entries. At the 1992 GSSF match, I became aware of USPSA and began competing in those matches in 1993.

I served as a GSSF range officer from 1995 to 2005 at two different locations each year, shooting only one entry at each match. Since then, I have been a “paying customer” and shoot in four divisions at several matches a year. The accompanying photo, showing all the range officers, was made at South River Gun Club during the 1996 GSSF match (The GLOCK Annual Shoot III). Notice that there were only 28 of us; I am the first from

the left in the second row (standing). You will likely see faces you recognize. Also in the second row is one of the “Women of GSSF,” as well as the woman mentioned in that same article as Cindy’s “rival” (with her dog, Rue). A great bunch of folks!

I have made many friends because of GSSF; some are employees of GLOCK, and many are fellow competitors. I am grateful to GLOCK, Inc. for giving all of us the opportunity to participate in this great sport.

The G29: a Hiker’s Best Friend!

As an avid hiker and holder of a concealed carry

permit, the question of what gun to carry was not one I approached without serious consideration. In the woods one is likely to encounter any number of dangerous animals and sadly not all are of the four-legged variety. Finding a gun comfortable enough to carry concealed that also provided adequate protection narrowed my search down to one model: the G29 subcompact 10mm.

The G29 is chambered for the powerful 10mm cartridge, which also offers outstanding versatility depending on the

type of load used. The 10mm can be loaded with a variety of bullet types—some ideal for hunting and/or woods carry, some more suited to everyday carry in urban environments. It can be loaded hot, rivaling the .41 magnum in performance, or on the lighter end so itis more in line with .40 caliber loads.

The G29 also carries with it all of the advantages GLOCKs are known for: reliability, simplicity (a must for a gun that may need field servicing!), and durability. It also has the advantage over more traditional trails guns in that it is an autoloader, packing more rounds in the gun and allowing for quick reloads should that be needed.

All in all, I am more than pleased with my choice—the G29 has proven to be a friend I can count on both in and out of the woods. Thanks for such a great gun!

Thanks to RandiIwant to thank Randi Rogers of Team GLOCK for

taking the time for a Meet & Greet at a shooting range in Roswell, GA during its Thursday Ladies’ Night earlier this year. She served as an inspiration to me, and I’d imagine also to others who attended.

It was the second time I had been to that range, and perhaps maybe the fifth or sixth time in my life to any range (I am 50 years old). As a teen though, I had enjoyed shooting BB guns and I had always gravitated to shooting games in arcades and fairs. I’ve not pursued shooting beyond that. Over the years, my younger brother has suggested that I take up shooting as a hobby, but I didn’t see myself getting involved in it like he has. I’m very proud of him. He is quite the marksman! He’s earned, among other things, the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s Distinguished Pistol Shots 2010 Badge.

It wasn’t till I met Randi at the Meet & Greet that I began to feel inspired. It was something about the look in her eyes when she spoke of the sport, combined with her words of encouragement.

After the Meet & Greet with Randi, I called my brother to get his opinion of GLOCK pistols. He highly recommended them. He suggested that I rent different models and calibers at the range before deciding which one to ultimately buy. I’ve since gone to the range and tried several. I’m leaning toward the Gen4 G17 9mm.

Today I found out about a gun show taking place this weekend in Atlanta. I’ll be going tomorrow. While on the phone with my brother he looked at your site and realized there is a GSSF match next weekend in Griffin, GA. Somebody is trying to tell me something! So, even though I don’t know whose GLOCK I will be using, I am sending in my membership and registration form. I look forward to new and rewarding experiences for myself, as well as for friends I’m hoping will join me as we explore the world of shooting and matches.

Ladies Belong in the Indoor LeagueWhen I Started Shooting the GSSF Indoor League: April, 2011, just a few months after my husband and I purchased a G17. My husband saw a notice about an upcoming GSSF League match at our local shooting range, and I decided I would give it a try.

What I Enjoy the Most: Everything! I love shooting! I love competing! I enjoy meeting all the great people who are at the matches, and I love pushing myself to meet my personal target shooting goals. And, of course, who doesn’t love the chance to win a prize and/or a free GLOCK!

Favorite Match: I just started shooting this year, so I’ve only competed at Lynchburg Arms, but the staff and facilities are great. That’s what keeps me coming back for every GSSF League match.

Advice to Other Women: If you’ve never been to a match, I suggest you talk to or email someone who has competed in a League match so you can get an understanding of how it’s run and what’s expected of you. You can also learn a lot through various groups on Facebook and videos on YouTube. Honestly, if you enjoy shooting, I am sure that you’ll enjoy competing in a GSSF League match. It doesn’t take much time to compete, and it helps to keep your skills sharp. So, why not give it try? Guns are for girls too, and so are GSSF Indoor matches!

Newbie GLOCK EnthusiastIrecently got my first G22 Gen4 and I love it. I have

tried G17, G34 and G35 and love them all. My next purchase is going to be the G35 Gen4. I am also planning on taking the Armorer’s class to get more familiar with my GLOCKs.

So far, I have fired over 500 rounds through my G22 and it has performed as promised—flawlessly. It is a pleasure to shoot, and all my friends are clamoring to try it out.

I am hoping to get some formal training, and then compete in a GSSF match soon. Watch out everyone, I am going to win all the prizes!

Be safe, and happy GLOCKing.

Member’s CornerMember’s CornerHe’s Come “Full Circle”My dad was a Master Sergeant when he retired in

1960 after 20 years in the United States Marine Corps. He was a top-ranked marksman, and had accumulated many, many trophies from pistol matches all over the country. He taught young Marines the finer points of shooting pistols and was the rifle/pistol coach for several years while in the Corps. I learned at an early age how to hold a pistol (the grip), acquire the target (importance of the front sight), breathe, relax and trigger pull (squeeze). Gun safety was always first, foremost and ever-present in my ongoing education in the sport of shooting. The second most important as-pect of my training was to properly take care of and maintain the pistols. Good gun cleaning was a must in our house. We had a lot of practice.

When I purchased a pistol for conceal and carry, I chose a 9mm Sig Sauer. I carried that pistol for 20 years and never shot in a pistol match, or, thank goodness, never had to use it for home protection. A couple of years ago, my forty-something year-old son purchased a G19. He took me out to a range near him and was showing me some of the tactical shooting techniques he had recently learned from a friend who was a Senior Firearms Instructor. I was amazed at the changes in technique over the past thirty-something years. After shooting two magazines with my gun, I started to shoot in a tactical mode and, low and behold, the unthinkable happened. My gun jammed. My son said, “Dad, is that

really the gun of choice you want in your hand if you need one for home protection? You will only have one chance. Can you count on it?”

After my gun jammed several more times, he said, “Here, try my GLOCK.” Wow! I was blown away by the grip, the action, the accuracy and how comfortable it was. Two weeks later, my son’s friend invited us down to North Carolina to shoot in a GSSF match. I was handed a G17 to use that I had never shot before. The pistol had been used in training classes, with over 10,000 rounds fired down range. I shot in three divisions at the match and fired approximately 300 rounds without a jam. In fact, during the entire match, I never witnessed a single jam with anyone shooting a Glock.

On the way home from the match, I told my son that I had come full circle from my father’s son to my son. I had learned from my son some of the same things my dad had taught me. I traded my Sig for a new G17 the following week.

My son and I have grown closer together—shooting, practicing and improving our father-son relationship as well as our shooting skills. We have entered another GSSF match, and are looking forward to entering yet another one this year.

Thanks, GLOCK/GSSF, for helping an older guy find his way to better health, better shooting and better fellowship with his middle-aged son.

Unforgettable Day!

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in firearms—especially GLOCK pistols. I’m 16 now,

and this year my mom purchased a G34 for me to shoot. So that I would be shooting safely and accurately, I’ve been working with a coach.

I joined GSSF, and the nice people there encouraged me to shoot the match in Griffin, GA. I was excited, but a little nervous. So, I diligently prepared. I learned the rules and regulations of gun safety. I also went online to the GSSF website to read about the upcoming match and what to expect. My coach and I decided that we would both shoot the match.

On the day of the match, we met early for the drive to the event. It was a perfect day for shooting—blue sky, sunshine and a light breeze. When we arrived, we visited the different stages and signed up for the ones we wanted to shoot. I was so excited to be there!

The people at the match, both range officers and participants, were very helpful to new shooters. I especially remember one stage that gave me trouble. “GLOCK the Plates!” I had hit them all in practice, but in the last stage of the match, they just wouldn’t fall. The range officer was very understanding. He told me to put the gun down, take some deep breaths and start again. That advice was very helpful, and I did much better.

It was a day I’ll never forget. I look forward to the next GSSF match, and meeting other Junior shooters.

Learning with the GLOCK

Istarted shooting at age 10 when my dad brought me to the local indoor range and

started teaching me the basic firearm safety rules. I started out with his 22LR until I learned how to grip properly and to familiarize myself with the sights. The first 9mm that my dad let me shoot was the G19, with which I did well at close targets. Then I started competing in the local club with the G17 until I ended up liking the G34, which is the one I’m been using up to now.

When I became a GSSF member, my parents brought me to my first GSSF Match in Georgia. I was nervous, but at the same time

excited. I managed to land 2nd place in the Junior Male division and our Junior team made it to the top!

The best part was having the opportunity to meet R. Lee Ermey and the Team GLOCK members who were practicing in a bay near the “GLOCK the Plates” stage. They were all very accommodating, and even allowed us to pose for a few pictures with them. I will treasure those photos forever.

The second GSSF match that I went to was in Oxford, North Carolina. It was fun meeting a few old friends and making new ones, and for sure we’ll be again at the next GSSF match nearby in our state. Thanks to GSSF for the wonderful opportunity.

P. D.South Carolina

Proud of the Juniors

“Ihear there is a pretty girl shooting without a team.” I heard this from a friend who was

trying to put together a Junior team. He already had my son and a friend of his, so they needed just one more shooter to complete a Junior team.

Sure enough, he found the “pretty girl” and introduced her to my son and his friend—all three posed for a picture. Little did I know that this team would go on to win the Junior Civilian division in the GLOCK Annual Shoot XVII in Conyers, GA. Congratulations to all three of you, and may you win more GSSF matches in the future!

Cindy Noyes, Master of the Ranges (she’s on)C indy Noyes is no stranger to ranges. With her formal

training in the information technology world, Cindy, years ago, decided she wanted to protect herself on those late-night runs to fix servers. She took up the pistol, and be-ing a wise person, decided that she needed some training and experience. This realization led her to the sport of practical shooting (IPSC/USPSA), and her multiple talents brought her into major match administration. She has run international and national level championships for years on her home range in Georgia.

As a matter of fact, Cindy was the first Range Officer at the very first GSSF match in Cobb County, GA, in 1991—she brought her crew with her and saved the day!

She continues to compete, and is always a contender for the Ladies’ Shootoff at the US National Championship. When not on the road, she works hard at keeping the GSSF program straight (well, as straight as it can be…) and also devotes time to bringing other women along in the shooting sports at Ladies’ Training camps across the coun-try. A certified NRA Instructor, she also writes in her spare time and finds time for family and friends.

Her positive, cheerful attitude is a plus for any range and GSSF is proud to have her as a “Range Master.”

Thanks for all the help!GLOCK has a program to hire local students wanting jobs during school breaks. This summer GSSF had an

awesome bunch assisting the full-time staff with all our office duties. We had 3 fantastic interns working hard to get those membership packages mailed out and they all did a great job!

You might know Stephanie Njau, since she’s been with us for 3 years now. Stephanie always works hard, gets a lot done and can handle almost any GSSF task imaginable. Stephanie is a pleasure to work with, as she’s always positive and smiling. She will be going to college this year in preparation for medical school. GSSF staff look forward to her coming back each year.

Brandon Monroig also spent part of his summer working in both GSSF and Training. He helped us tremendously in multiple areas and we hope he comes back again next year.

T’Keyah Duke also worked in GSSF and Training. She did a super job in both of them and we will definitely ask her to come back again.

Our summer interns were very capable and we owe them a big “Thank You” for all their efforts. We were lucky to have them with us and appreciated their support this year. While they worked hard (see right), we also hope they had some fun. Bright, personable and respon-sible young people like Stephanie, Brandon and T’Keyah are our future and our future looks good!
