The Newsletter of the GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation® Volume III, 2001 GLOCK Introduces Commemorative GSSF G17!

The GSSF Engraved Commemorative GLOCK InsideInside s long time GSSF members know (and Commemorative Anew members,too, if you’ve been keeping GSSF G17 page 1 up!), this year marks the 10th Anniversary of the GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation. And what years they have been! We’ve had 50,000+ GSSF League Results/ people involved over the years with the Schedule page 2 program, thousands shooting safely every year. GSSF has grown from a handful of matches per Match Results year, to a recognized shooting “discipline,” with pages 5-9 over two dozen matches a year, people from GLOCK Wins other countries involved, and competitors of all at USPSA pages 10-11 descriptions participating. All of this has made all of us at GLOCK very pleased and grateful for our customers. To commemorate this year, GLOCK has manufactured a G17 with a rarely seen “extra” Double Champion for on GLOCK pistols: engraving. That’s right, as the highlighted (artificially enhanced) the 21st Century photographs show, this G17 is specially marked.* pages 11-12 That’s the good news. The little bit of bad news is that this was a limited production run, with Member’s Corner serial numbers beginning with “GSSF.” So, if pages 13-17 you’re interested in a piece of shooting history, get your order form in now! There is a special price of www.gssfonline.com only $398.00 US. Thanks again for your loyalty and support. See Page 3 for Order Information. *The pistol engraving is artificially enhanced to show detail.

In Memory of September11, 2001; “Remember, Do Not Forget.” n September 11th of this year, GLOCK employees around the world were first horrified, Othen deeply angered over the attacks on the United States. Truly, this day “the world changed.” As this goes to press, recovery and reconstruction work continue, and the United States Armed Forces and our allies are seeking and bringing to justice those responsible, and those who would assist evil. WIN A We would like to note here with sadness, but also pride, that one GSSF member made the GLOCK! ultimate sacrifice for his fellow citizens. New York City Police Officer Jerome Dominguez See Page 18 responded to the World Trade Center with hundreds of other emergency services personnel the morning of September 11th. He did not return. Your thoughts and prayers are requested for him, his fellow responders, the victims themselves and their loved ones.

shooters from all over the globe USPSA/IPSC shooting pits a shooter’s speed and GLOCK rolled into PASA Park in accuracy against a series of “stages” involving Barry, Ill., for the USPSA Limited Championships anywhere from three to 36 shots. Shooters must draw September 16-19, 2001. Like a family reunion, the from a holster and move safely through the course, GLOCK “tribe” within USPSA/IPSC spent three full negotiating obstacles, reloading, and shooting at a days sharing notes and shooting their GLOCKS to win wide range of paper and steel targets on the way—all positions all over the leader board. under pressure from the clock. There are no alibi’s for gun malfunctions, and every second counts. To do well here, you need a reliable, accurate gun. As you might expect, for many shooters, that gun is a GLOCK! Knock-down steel targets, moving targets, disappearing targets, and targets as far away as 40 yards tested the competitors’ skills. The physical challenges involved negotiating false-fronted buildings, plywood cars, lawn chairs, haybales, even a bed! All shooting is done outdoors, rain or shine, putting even greater demands on the shooter and their equipment. This year’s match involved 20 stages, consuming more than 300 rounds. GLOCK has been a part of practical shooting for years and is a big supporter of both Limited Division and the new Production Division (where only out-of- the-box double-action and safe-action handguns may be used). Shooters like Armando Valdes and Debbie

GSSF shooter David Sevigny won USPSA’s new “Production Division” outright with his G34. Sharon Zaffiro from GLOCK,Inc. took high lady in Production, and seventh lady overall in the main match—a grand achievement given the “Production Division’s” strict requirements. (Zaffiro was competing with a stock G34, 10-round magazines, and lower-scoring ammunition against women with custom guns and high-capacity magazines carrying up to 20 rounds each!) Debbie Ross used her custom G35 to place sixth in the main match. GSSF Benefit/Demo: GSSF had planned to run a demonstration match conjointly with the USPSA nationals as part of a promotional effort. Following the tragedy of Sept. 11, USPSA’s match was nearly canceled. When the decision to proceed was made, GSSF coordinators Chris Edwards and Scott Gilbertson converted their demonstration match into a benefit match for the families of police and firefighters who lost their lives in the World Trade Center. USPSA shooters queued up to help bereaved New Yorkers, and experienced GSSF shooting at the same time.

G. H. New York A Surprised Winner n July 22, I attended the GSSF match at Coeur Od’Alene, Idaho. Having little experience with timed matches, I planned to just shoot my best and learn from the experience. The GLOCK staff were helpful and provided some good tips on shooting, as well as a safety review. Then I remembered the trusty GLOCK entrenching After shooting the match I went to see the armorers. tool that I carry in my pickup for emergencies—it They checked out my G19, informed me it had an 8 lb was perfect for this situation!

When I narrowed it down to the two handguns that were affordable, the choices were semi-autos, and I knew that the best defense weapon for my inexperienced wife would probably still be a durable 38 Special revolver. After several months of going to the range every week, she really started to enjoy herself. I was amazed at her natural ability. From the start she actually shot 12" to 14" groups, which made working with her very easy. My wife says “One of the nice parts about shooting is that even when you make mistakes, if you are consistent, someone can always help you get better.” I got tired of watching her have all the fun and decided to purchase my first G22, one of my original choices. I was amazed at the accuracy, low recoil and ease of maintenance. I fell in love with it immediately. Marines do like their weapons, you know!

Again, thanks GLOCK and GSSF, for a superior gun and a great sport shooting organization. B. C. Washington State Dad Got His GLOCK recently obtained my concealed carry permit and I joined a pistol club. My oldest son is an explorer scout and in the criminal justice program at his high school. He and I took the basic class together, and since he was going to work in law enforcement he said, “Dad, get a GLOCK!” After examining firearms in gun stores and reading article after article, I had to agree with him. We now shoot a G17 and my youngest wants to join the club as well—we will need more GLOCKs in the family. You folks at GLOCK would be proud of the glow of Welcome to GLOCK enthusiasm on my son’s face when he shoots the am a happy G17 owner.
