Let’s review some of the different championships, some GLOCKS to be used in them, and some of the hot shooters behind them!

This year, the U.S. organization, USPSA, has elected to run a Factory Gun See Page 14 Championship. GLOCK is proud to be a sponsor of this seminal event. There are two major classes competing, Limited 10 (referring to magazine capacity in usually (Continued on page 13) The GLOCK Report® / Volume II, 2002 © GLOCK, 2002 page One (Continued from page 1) In Dan’s own words: “I received the pistol, and noted that the slide was slightly out of battery (slightly open). Following standard safety precautions, I first removed the magazine, and then pulled the slide back to check the chamber of the barrel. It was empty, but I noticed that the trigger had reset, so I pointed it in a safe direction, and pulled the trigger. It seemed to release the firing pin in the normal manner. Because I knew some of the background of this particular gun, I was curious to see if it would fire. Retiring to the Warranty test range, I took all the proper safety precautions, loading one round and placing it behind a safety barrier before I attempted to fire. At the activation of the trigger, it fired! I observed no damage, so I loaded and shot around 50 rounds of factory ammunition with no problems. The pistol groups inside of 3" at 15 yards, within normal specifications.” So there you have it! While we by no means recommend or countenance this sort of abuse, it is amazing and gratifying to see that “you can’t keep a good GLOCK down (in the ground)!” Important Information from GSSF 1. The GSSF staff requests that, whenever possible, GSSF members bring their latest GSSF membership card to each match. It has been noted that the memberships of a number of members who do not pre-register for a match are later discovered to have expired prior to the date of the match. Without a membership card there is often no way to discover this and to collect the appropriate membership renewal fee at the match itself. It must therefore be collected after the match, thereby diverting the GSSF staff from processing the match results. 2. The primary purpose of the GSSF Match Pre-registration process is to cut down on the administrative tasks that must be performed at the registration desk at each match, and thereby speed up the registration process for all members who attend the match. Lately a significant number of individuals have been mailing or faxing their pre-registration forms to GSSF without including any provisions for the payment of the appropriate membership and/or match fees. These will usually include a note to the effect that “I will pay when I get to the match.” The effect of this is to slow down the registration process at the match itself, thereby defeating the primary purpose of the pre-registration process. Effective immediately, all pre-registration applications must be accompanied by the proper provisions for payments or they will not be accepted. Applications that are mailed must either include a check or money order or VISA, Discover, or MasterCard credit card information for the appropriate fees. Applications that are faxed must include the appropriate VISA, Discover, or MasterCard credit card information for the appropriate fees. If payment is by credit card but the applicant has incorrectly calculated the proper membership and/or match fees required, GSSF reserves the right to make the appropriate corrections and charge the appropriate amounts. Pre-registration applications received without provisions for payment will not be accepted. Members making such non-acceptable applications will be required to NEW register at the match itself and pay the appropriate at-the-match registration fees. 3. The “Volume 1, 2002 GLOCK Report,” page 11, includes the section “Definition of ‘Amateur’” to define those GSSF RULE!competitors who are “Amateur” class versus those considered to be “Master” class competitors. Item 2. under this section reads “As an individual competitor’s past performances at GSSF (matches) may dictate as determined by GSSF.” Although never published prior to now, the criteria historically used by GSSF under this section is that an “Amateur” competitor may win a total of three (3) GLOCK firearms as “high over all” in any or all combinations of the “Amateur Civilian,” “Amateur Law Enforcement,” “StockMeister,” “Subcompact,” “MajorSub,” “Competition,” “Unlimited/Master” category, and/or the “MatchMeister” award. Upon award of the third such firearm the competitor is thereafter considered to be a “Master” class competitor. “Master” class competitors are limited to competing in the “StockMeister” and “Unlimited/Master” categories only and are eligible for the “MatchMeister” award under the “StockMeister” category. (It should be noted that those Amateur competitors who win firearms awards under the “B,” “C” or other “non-A” class or “non-High Overall” categories at GSSF matches are not included in determining “Master” class status.”) There have been recent situations where an “Amateur” competitor has won one or two “High Overall” firearms at prior GSSF matches, and then at a single match places as “High Overall” in two or more competition categories at a single match. This raises the question whether that now “Master” class competitor should be awarded only one or two firearm or firearms from that match as the case may be, giving him/her his/hers total of three, or if he/she should be awarded all of the firearms he/she “won” at that match, giving him/her a total of four or more. In such cases it is hereby determined that each such individual will limited to three firearms only. The other firearms at that match will be awarded to the second-place finishers in those categories, at the discretion of GSSF. Such firearms awarded to second-place finishers will be included in the determination of those individual’s status as “Master” class competitors as well. In past years there were individuals who were awarded more than three such “Amateur” firearms before they were promoted to “Master” class status. This was because GSSF did not at that time have the necessary tools to properly track the respective status of individual members so as to “promote” them at the proper time and thereby prevent them from competing as “Amateurs” at subsequent matches. Now that GSSF does possess the necessary tools the “three gun” limit will be enforced. Past exceptions to this will not be considered to have set any precedent in this regard. page Two © GLOCK, 2002 The GLOCK Report® / Volume II, 2002 ATTENTION!ATTENTION!

  • Lethal Legacies: Illicit Firearms and Terrorism in France
    169 Lethal legacies: Illicit firearms and terrorism in France FRANCE Nicolas Florquin and André DesmaraisI This chapter analyses the illicit firearms market in France, the ways in which terror- ist networks have been able to access firearms, and the national policies that have been developed to combat (terrorist access to) the illicit gun market. Particularly since 2015, France has by far been the European country most affected by terrorist attacks involving the use of firearms. The use of fully automatic rifles in the January and November 2015 Paris attacks took an unprecedented human toll, with 147 deaths in those events alone.1 In 2015 the French authorities made 424 terrorism- related arrests, compared to 238 in 2014 and 225 in 2013.2 The recent attacks have created a push to reform the country’s intelligence and secu- rity forces in order to adapt to, anticipate and better respond to these threats.3 The gov- ernment has also identified a series of measures to tackle the issue of illicitly held fire- arms: the Ministry of the Interior’s National Action Plan was launched on 13 November 2015, just hours before the attack on the Bataclan theatre started.4 Yet these efforts can only rely on limited information on and analysis of the extent and nature of the illicit arms market in France, owing principally to the fact that levels of gun violence in France were previously moderate, if not low by international standards. This study constitutes an unprecedented effort to present and analyse data and information on illicit firearms and their acquisition by terrorist actors in France.

  • John Browning's BAR, the M1918 (Pennsylvania Military Museum, T
    PMM BLOG ARCHIVE June 23, 2020 John Browning's BAR, the M1918 (Pennsylvania Military Museum, T. Gum, Site Admin.) Few names in American manufacturing history garner attention like John Moses Browning. Father to countless firearm designs and cartridges standing the test of time and countless trials by through combat, hunting expeditions, and competitions. It was perhaps his early work in the industry that continues to draw praise from veterans and historians alike. Next to the M1911, the M1918 is a firearm that was utilized by brave Americans in two World Wars. Photo of M1918A2 (BAR), MM84.1.1A-C. Pictured here is an M1918A2 that is part of the permanent collection of the Pennsylvania Military Museum. The M1918, or rather, the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), first chambered for the 30.06 Springfield Cartridge, was designed by Browning in 1917 to meet the needs of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). When the AEF deployed, they relied heavily on British and French arms, which proved to be ineffective and unreliable for the most part when faced with the realities (weather and tactics) of trench warfare. One such example being the French Chauchat. Photo of M1918A2 (BAR), MM84.1.1A-C. The BAR weighs approximately fifteen to twenty pounds, depending on variant and cartridge load. Featuring a detachable box magazine, it was capable of having a twenty or forty-round magazine loaded. This gave the weapon a firing capacity of approximately 600 rounds per minute, and an effective range of 1,500 yards though the 30.06 cartridge could be fired over 4,000 yards.

  • Last of the Classic Lever Actions by Rob Kassab & Brad Dunbar
    Winchester Model 1895 - Last of The Classic Lever Actions By Rob Kassab & Brad Dunbar The title of this excellent new book by Kassab and Dunbar says it all; the Model 1895 Winchester was really the last of the classic lever-action rifles. The 1895 was indeed a “transition” firearm that saw big changes in the firearms world and had a successful career not only in America but all over the world. Chamberings in the Model ’95 ran the gamut from black-powder cartridges to smokeless, high-velocity rounds. If I’ve piqued your interest in learning more about the Winchester Model 1895, then you are in luck. This new book by Rob Kassab and Brad Dunbar will answer every question you could have about the rifle. I thought I was pretty well-versed on 1895s but found out that I merely knew enough to be dangerous. There is much more to the ’95 Winchester story than I would have imagined. Fortunately, Kassab and Dunbar have done an excellent job in telling that story. From the genius of John Browning and William Mason to standardized and custom production at Winchester, reloading tools, military contracts, accoutrements such as slings and bayonets, and of course, the Theodore Roosevelt connection . all are covered in this comprehensive book. My own interest in Model 1895s has always centered around the musket contract that was done with Russia for the first World War. The ’95 was one of the very few lever-action rifles to serve in a major conflict when the world had almost universally gone to bolt-action rifles for their armies.
