See Page Reference Edition Th e G30SF Jo i n s t h e Just as the G21SF debuted last year and went on to become one of the most popular GLOCK pistols of 2007, this year GLOCK introduces the G30SF! The G30SF (Short Frame) combines all the attributes of the standard G30.45 ACP subcompact pistol with a reduced back strap to trigger dimension to better accommodate those of us with medium to small sized hands. GLOCK engineers worked their magic, and the result is a major-caliber pistol suitable for everyday carry, and with the same ammunition capacity as the standard G30. Many shooters have commented on how much this reduced reach contributes to increased trigger control and comfort. Reliability and accuracy remain top-notch, and no changes in maintenance, assembly, disassembly or other areas have been affected. GLOCK continues to listen to their customers and produce new models suitable for a wide range of use. Whether it s duty use for law enforcement customers, competition pistols for action shooting or self-defense handguns for the real world, GLOCK has models for every application, budget and taste. If you re looking for GLOCK Li n e your next new pistol, try a GLOCK G30SF! No other handgun is more reliable, durable, safe and just plain fun to shoot! Get a new G30SF and come out to a GSSF match sometime!

4 helping to set steel and paste targets. Welcome once again, and we ll see you at a GSSF match soon! For more information about GSSF, write or fax us at: GSSF P.O. Box 1254 Smyrna, GA Fax (770) Remember to visit our website, Safety Considerations 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 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 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 Please remember your firearm is your responsibility. Failure to follow safety rules will result in disqualification and removal from the range 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 Eye and Ear Protection Everyone must wear eye and ear protection at GSSF matches (glasses and ear plugs/muffs) Drugs and Alcohol At no time will anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol be allowed at a GSSF match 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 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 Negligent Discharge A negligent discharge is unsafe and will result in disqualification Advice for Beginners 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 Four GLOCK, 2008 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008

5 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) in a safe area to help you achieve this goal Only perform dry firing with an unloaded firearm. 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 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 A new shooter should concentrate on accuracy more than speed. Shoot at your own speed to the best of your ability and have fun! The Stock GLOCK and Modifications 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 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 Master- Unlimited division only 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 GLOCKproduced 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 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 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. The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Five

6 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.) Am m u n i t i o n 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 Auto (including applicable C models) G22, 23, 24, 27 or Auto (including applicable C models) G20 or 29 (including applicable C models) 10mm Auto G21, 30, or Auto (including applicable C models) G37, 38, G.A.P 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 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 Suggested Ammunition Amounts We recommend that you bring a minimum of 150 rounds for each division you intend to shoot GSSF matches are lost brass matches. You will not be allowed to pick up spent cases at any time Tr a n s p o r t o f Fi r e a r m s to a n d f r o m t h e Ra n g e 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 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 Carry this brochure with you as verification that you are on your way to a GSSF match Tr a n s p o r t o f Fi r e a r m s and Equipment at the Range 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. 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 unless it is inside one of the acceptable means of transport listed above. page Six GLOCK, 2008 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008

7 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 of drawing or reinserting the firearm without pointing the firearm in an unsafe direction in a match environment 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 Weather and Emergencies Weather and Emergencies In the case of severe weather and emergencies, GSSF reserves the right to suspend or cancel competitions at any time 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 and unbagged. Every effort will be made to ensure stages are run consistently 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 Membership and Registration GSSF Membership Your initial membership package includes a GLOCK decal, The GLOCK Report, The GLOCK Annual magazine, a GSSF cap and a personalized membership card.

This gets you out on the range as fast The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Seven

8 as possible and you do not have to stand in line for very long. You may do this by mail or fax. We will not accept pre-registration without proper payment. Mailed applications must include either a check or money order, VISA, Discover, or MasterCard credit card information for fees. Applications that are 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 GSSF does not issue confirmations for preregistered competitors. Please do not contact GSSF for confirmation 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 GSSF does not accept registrations over the telephone 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 Visit for current match information. Registration is conducted on a first come, first served basis. Pre-register to reserve your entry into the match Competitor Briefings 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 Arriving at the Stage 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 may return on Sunday. Those competitors who did not finish (DNF) will not be refunded or credited their registration fees. (Refer to Rule ) 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 onto scoresheets kept at each individual stage of fire set-up. 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. 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 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 page Eight GLOCK, 2008 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008

9 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 anytime 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 anytime. 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 set up, 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 they 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. 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. The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Nine

10 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 ). 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 ) Range officers have the authority to make reasonable alterations to the shooting order 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 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 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 Ho w l o n g w i l l it ta k e to shoot the match? GSSF matches are held on weekends throughout the country. Check out for a complete schedule. Members have the option to choose when they wish to compete, on either Saturday, Sunday or both days 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. There will be no refund of your match entry fee. If you were not able to finish all of your match stages on Saturday, you may return on Sunday to finish. Please plan your attendance accordingly 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 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! Stage Procedures 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 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 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO TOUCH YOUR FIREARM UNTIL EVERYONE page Ten GLOCK, 2008 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008

11 HAS RETURNED BEHIND THE FIRING LINE AND THE RANGE OFFICER DIRECTS YOU TO HANDLE YOUR FIREARM When you are the on deck competitor and the up competitor in front of you has finished shooting, has secured their 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 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 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 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 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 the ready position. 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. Finger(s) must be outside of the firearm s trigger guard 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 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 (See also Section ) 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! 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 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 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! The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Eleven

12 Side Events 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 warm-ups or one-onone competitions. Side events are subject to the availability of the necessary range space, equipment to conduct them and available range officers Ta r g e t s 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 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. The Target Barn P.O. Box Toledo, OH (419) (419) fax Speedwell Targets 136 Lincoln Blvd. Middlesex, NJ (800) (732) (732) fax 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. 8 Steel Plates 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 Sc o r i n g 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 Pepper Poppers Steel targets sometimes depend upon what the individual host club has available for use. Shapes and sizes of steel targets may vary. page Twelve GLOCK, 2008 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008

13 Steel Hit A or B Hit C Hit D Hit Miss = 0 seconds = 0 seconds (Hit in either zone is scored B. = +1 second = +3 seconds = +10 seconds Procedural = +10 seconds (Earned by the competitor if he or she commits course of fire infractions, 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 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 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 (See also Sections 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 If you do not initial your scoresheet, GSSF will assume you accept your scores as written Range officers may grant reshoots in the case a non-recoverable scoring error is detected at the time you review and initial your scoresheet 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 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 Co m p e t i t o r Divisions, Categories and Classes 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) 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 the 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 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, IDPA, 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 organizationsponsored shooting team. The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Thirteen

14 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 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 or Division, GSSF will issue the appropriate awards at its own discretion 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. 4. The competitor is classified master or above in NRA, PPC, IDPA, IPSC/USPSA, ICORE, Cowboy Action or similar shooting disciplines. 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 shooting team 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 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. Guardian competitors should be aware that this rule is a relic of an obsolete award distribution system whereby it was often to a Guardian s advantage to shoot in the Civilian category. This is no longer the case, and in most instances it is now to the advantage of an eligible Guardian competitor to remain in Guardian 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 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 GLOCKproduced 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 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. page Fourteen GLOCK, 2008 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008

15 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 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 major 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 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 Competitionpackage 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 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 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 Te a m s 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 $ 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 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 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. PRO-TECH 2411 East Illinois Kirksville, MO (660) Fax (660) Match Results and Awards Raw scores will be posted on GSSF s website, 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 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Fifteen

16 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 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 of both Performance and Random awards will directly coincide with the final number of valid match entries completed at that match. Be aware that the 149 entry low end break point has been established to roughly provide some, but not all, of the compensation to the host club and Range Officers for hosting the match, and for awards, especially 1st place awards, issued to that point. From that point, aditional entries directly provide for additional Performance and Random match awards as detailed below 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 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.

19 Random Awards For all matches 174 entries or less, a total of twenty (20) GLOCK Field Knives will be awarded at random Beginning with the 175th match entry, two cash awards of $50 will be randomly awarded across the entire match for every subsequent five match entries. At the 190th match entry, and at every 20th match entry thereafter, a GLOCK firearms certificate will be awarded at random across the entire match.

21 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 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 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. For the purposes of the GSSF season, this date is 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 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, 2009 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 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 Firearm Awards to California Residents Residents of California may only receive 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 you consult the California state internet website at state.ca.us. The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Twenty-One

22 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 8 weeks upon their arrival at GLOCK Professional. Please inquire about the status of an award firearm only after the 8-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 8-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 8 weeks 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. GSSF P.O. Box 1254 Smyrna, GA Ph. (770) Fax (770) Be safe, and have fun! page Twenty-Two GLOCK, 2008 The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008

23 Shooter Lingo 180 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 circumstance, 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.

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.

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 scheduled for June 14-15, 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.

59 Volume I, 2008 Pistol Giveaway Winner It s been a running joke between my dad and me since I was a teenager. Wanna see my new gun? he said one day, his face beaming. Sure, Dad. If you wanna see my new purse? I replied, thinking it would get me out of the lengthy presentation of his new GLOCK something or other. After about an hour of purse/gun show and tell we were even. The years went on, as did the gun/purse joke. Meanwhile, Dad built his GLOCK collection and became a member of GSSF. My younger brother also became interested and joined GSSF. He entered into the competitions with my dad, and even won a GLOCK last year. They both tried to convince me to compete, but I wasn t interested. Everything changed last year when my house was robbed in broad daylight. Recently divorced, I was living alone for the first time. My dad insisted on home protection for me, so he gave me his G26, and took me to the gun range for regular practice. In short order, I joined GSSF and tried my hand at competition. Using Dad s G19 I have competed in three matches already, and needless to say, I m sold. I really appreciate GSSF for providing a sport that my dad, brother and I can participate in together. We re still working on my mom. When I got the G26 I asked her, Wanna see my new gun? My dad just walked by shaking his head with a smirk. M. A. C. Florida Member s Corner Great People, Great Gun! As a member of the Armed Forces, I am relieved to own the reliable weapons that GLOCK has built to carry in combat, and for my own self-protection. (Berretta s M9 cannot compare to the GLOCK, when your life depends on it.) I have owned five GLOCK pistols over the past 10 years G22, G23, G27, G34 and G35 and I still own four. I am looking forward to purchasing more pistols and uppers; I ve purchased three pistols this year alone, and I regret trading away the one I no longer own. I believe in GLOCK pistols so much that I personally paid the fee to attend the Armorer s course. As an IPSC shooter, I m routinely told that I need to own one of the other pistols in order to be competitive in certain divisions. The 100% reliability that I enjoy has provided me with those extra seconds (or more) to finish ahead of my fellow competitors on numerous occasions; although I cannot say that about my fellow GSSF shooters. I run completely stock pistols in all divisions, and some shooters just shake their heads when they learn that I ve not tinkered with them at all. Who can argue with such reliability? At least once a week, I offer the opportunity to shoot my pistols to people who are not familiar with firearms and would like to learn, as well as to people who are not GLOCK owners. Some folks are intimidated by firearms, thinking that they are difficult to use, or that they aren t safe. Upon hearing this, I take my pistol apart, show them the three safeties, explain how they work, reassemble, show them the ease of operation and enjoy seeing their eyes light up. If we are on the range, they always accept my offer to fire them. My 16-year-old daughter, who had never before fired a handgun, enjoyed the no-nonsense operation of my G34. After a week of safety instruction, dry fire and one practice day on the range, she felt comfortable enough to compete in her first IPSC match, and she won. I look forward to her becoming a future GLOCK owner. My co-workers all know that I shoot often, and ask what firearm I think they should buy. I tell them to buy a GLOCK, of course. We then talk about which model would best suit them, based on their desires and its intended use. The Team GLOCK website comes in very handy to show them the various models, and to debunk GLOCK fallacies. I would like to extend my appreciation to all the GLOCK staff. Everyone is always eager to help when I need it, whether in person or on the phone. Thanks for great personnel, and a firearm second to none! W.

60 Member s Corner Introducing the GLOCKOMETER You ve finally done it. You ve saved your money over the years, and you ve finally achieved your goal. You now have one of each of the six calibers made by GLOCK. Quite an achievement, and you feel justifiably proud of your collection. But now you have a whole new problem. When you go to the shooting range today, which GLOCK do you take with you? Quite a dilemma. Each and every caliber has its own advantages, but it s cumbersome to take several guns at once. What to do? Enter the GLOCKOMETER. Now, with one simple motion, you can put an end to such grueling decisions once and for all. With just a simple spin of the dial, you can decide, right on the spot, which GLOCK will earn the privilege of being fired today? No more waffling between ten millimeters and 45 G.A. P., or between 40 caliber and 357 caliber. A quick spin settles the decision and sends you on your way. The GLOCKOMETER is ambidextrous (can be spun with either the left or right hand), and is bi-directional (can be spun either clockwise or counter-clockwise). Get your GLOCKOMETER today. Available wherever tough-decision-making-tools are sold. J. F. Ohio A New GSSF Fan Forty years ago, as a kid, I did a lot of hunting on our farm with my grandfather on summer evenings after the day s work was done. One day, for no particular reason, I decided to stop by the New Albany Shooting Range (NASR). One visit to the range was all it took. Within a month, I had purchased a range membership, bought a pistol and signed up for a bulls-eye league, and began practicing nearly every day. One Saturday, when I walked into the range to practice, I saw that there were shooters everywhere. One of the NASR guys said that it was a GSSF match, and he explained the structure and scoring method. Since there weren t any lanes available, I grabbed a seat and watched the match. I was amazed at the small groups some of the shooters achieved at the seventy-five foot mark. By the time a lane was available, a couple of hours later, I had a pretty good understanding of GSSF, and I was hooked. The next Monday, I sent in my GSSF membership application and started studying the various GLOCK models. Within a couple of weeks I settled on a G17, and soon purchased my first GLOCK. I added the G17 to my regular practice time, but I found that it was a lot more gun than my rim-fire bulls-eye pistol. In those first weeks of practice, seventy feet looked more like a hundred yards. I hated retrieving my target after ten shots only to find six scattered holes on a big D-1 target. When it was time for the next GSSF match at NASR, I was there when the doors opened. My results in that first match weren t pretty, but it was a lot of fun. The experienced GSSF shooters have been a big help to me. With practice, my scores have improved with each match. I just participated in the first GSSF match of 2008, at the Black Wing Shooting Center in Delaware, Ohio, my third GSSF series. Later this month, I will start the GSSF series at NASR. With all the good shooters we have here in central Ohio, I doubt that I ll ever win a match or a series, but it s a great personal challenge for me to try to improve from match to match. Last Saturday in the GSSF match, I stood on the line between an experienced shooter who regularly shoots 500 s, and a fifteen-year-old boy shooting his first match The boy was struggling to keep his shots on the target at times. What a great sport! It brings together experts and beginners old and young, men and women for a few hours of affordable recreation, competition and fellowship. B. C.

61 When Only the Best Will Do In 1991 I was working for a southern California aerospace firm involved in supporting U.S. military units in Saudi Arabia, before the invasion of Kuwait. We had about a dozen employees in Saudi Arabia, and we knew that an invasion of Kuwait was imminent. We received authorization to establish a forward logistics base to facilitate support in theater, and I received orders to head overseas to set it up. Civilians were authorized to carry personally owned side arms in that conflict, so I had to decide which handgun to take with me. I knew I would be camping out for an indefinite time under conditions that would be VERY hot and VERY dusty. I didn t think that any of my Colt, S&W or Sig Sauer.45 handguns would hold up under those conditions without an inordinate amount of cleaning and pampering and, quite frankly, I did not anticipate having the free time for that. For several years I had been reading about that plastic pistol, the GLOCK. Everything I read extolled its virtues, especially its ruggedness and reliability. I guess at the time I was snobbish about what I would shoot, and plastic was a no on my list. But now that I would be in harm s way, I recognized that ruggedness and reliability were the most important qualities I wanted in the pistol I would use to defend myself. A pistol that you could freeze solid, bury in mud, drive over with a car, throw across a concrete floor and then shoot with no problems was the kind of reliability I needed. I decided the very day my orders came in that I would have to deploy with a GLOCK. I rushed down to my local gun store and bought a G23 in.40 caliber. It was small enough to conceal well, more powerful than a 9mm, and still held 13 rounds in the magazine. It was the ideal choice at the time, and still remains so for many people. Well, after picking up my GLOCK, holster and ammo, I packed my bags and prepared to deploy. Two days before I was scheduled to depart on a military flight, my deployment was cancelled. It seems that General Schwarzkopf had needed only 100 hours to destroy the Iraqi military units in Kuwait and win the war! While I never did deploy for Gulf War 1, I know that I had the very best pistol in the world to take with me, had I gone. I still shoot that G23 today, and find it just as durable and accurate as when I bought it. Several other GLOCKS have joined it in my gun safe, including a G22, and finally, that.45 caliber GLOCK I always wished for a G21. The G21 I bought is more accurate than any of the Colt, S&W or Sigs I owned, while it is also more rugged and reliable. And it holds 13 rounds! It is so accurate and reliable that I sold my other.45 s to make room for the best the GLOCK. I guess that I am still a handgun snob; only now all my semi-autos have GLOCK on the slide. There is nothing better than a GLOCK! T. B California In the Pink Almost two years ago I was talked into shooting in the GSSF match at the local club, Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club. Having never actually fired a GLOCK before, I didn t do very well. However, about six weeks later I received a congratulatory letter stating that, as a new member, I had won a pistol, a G17. The G17 was the one for me! I shot the next match in my area, and competed in steel plate and USPSA matches at my local club. Being a lady shooter, I was a bit upset at the lack of ladies shooting apparel. So I made up my own with GLOCK patches and pink dye. But, as you can see from the enclosed picture, the apparel wasn t enough. I had to take it one step further. I took my slide to be powder-coated pink. But I couldn t stop there. Now I also own a G21 and a G30, with the slides painted pink! I just want to say thanks to GLOCK and GSSF for my newfound passion for the shooting sports! C. B. New Jersey The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Sixty-One

62 Member s Corner My gun of choice is my G19, duracoated pink, my signature color. My boyfriend surprised me with the color treatment what a hoot! It draws attention at the range, but shoots just as affectively as its more masculine counterparts. I have been exposed to the whole range of handguns: revolver to semi-auto; 22 caliber to 45; and all models of GLOCK (my boyfriend has an extensive collection), but my absolute favorite is the G19. I hope to participate in GSSF sponsored shoots long into the future. I do have one request, though. I have searched GLOCK merchandise websites for feminine hats and apparel to no avail. Would you consider producing a pink GLOCK hat for women? L. B. Kentucky In the Pink, Part II I love my GLOCK! Although I have been shooting for only a little over one year, I consider shooting to be a true passion. As a single lady, I feel that self-defense is paramount in this unpredictable, often dangerous world. Fortunately I have had very good instruction from my boyfriend, (a certified handgun instructor) and other sources. I took a three-day handgun course at the Tactical Defense Institute (TDI) in southern Ohio, and I have just completed the required class for my carry permit. This training, as well as dry-fire practice at home, has given me confidence in my competence in shooting. I also love shooting competition. I have had the opportunity to participate in a few IDPA matches in Arkansas at the Benton and Pine Bluff outdoor ranges in I recently competed in my first GSSF match in Louisville, Kentucky, and I loved it. To me, it is a test to determine what I do well, and what I need to refine. I love the challenge, and I am truly hooked. If you want something that shoots like a GLOCK I live in a small town with only one gun shop. I had been looking at a G17, and I decided that I wanted it, so last summer I took a temporary part time job to make some extra money so that I could buy it. When it was time to make the purchase, the dealer tried to convince me to buy the Smith and Wesson 9mm. I knew exactly what I wanted, so I purchased the G17. I have a friend who shops at the same gun shop, and the dealer had talked him into buying the Smith and Wesson. Several months later, we went to the shooting range. He offered to let me try his gun, so he made it ready and handed it to me. I kept pulling the trigger, but it was a long, hard pull. I lowered the gun and asked him if he had the safety on. He replied that he did not. I kept pulling the trigger until it finally fired. I was so happy that I had not allowed the dealer to talk me out of my GLOCK. One day, I went back into the gun shop and found that the dealer was angry with me. He told me that our mutual friend had brought his Smith and Wesson back after shooting with me, and told him to do something with it. He stormed past me and said, If your friends want something that shoots like a GLOCK, tell them to spend the extra money and get a GLOCK! He walked past me and out the door, leaving me with an employee who was just as surprised as I was. Thanks for building a great product. And thanks for having an organization like GSSF to help people develop skills and make friends who enjoy GLOCK shooting as much as I do. J. P.

63 Lucky New GLOCKster I want to tell you about my new G19, and how it came into my possession. I had been wanting a GLOCK for some time, but I didn t have the funds to procure one. Last August, my girlfriend and I went to a Friends of the NRA banquet here in the high desert. We bought three raffle tickets. We didn t expect to win, since many of the guests bought wads of tickets, and we had only three, so we ate dinner and patiently waiting for the drawing. When they called the number of the winning ticket for the Smith and Wesson.36 Airweight, I said, Rats! Missed it by ONE! My girlfriend checked the other two numbers and, sure enough, we had the winning ticket. Next came the live auction. I figured we had done all the damage we could do. Boy, was I wrong! They were selling four chances on a new G19. The first two chances went for around $400 each. When the winning buyer of the third chance realized it was only a chance, and not the gun, he gave it back. For some reason, the bidding stalled at $200. The auctioneer was just about to hammer it down when I saw my girlfriend s hand go up. I said, Are you out of your mind? We can t afford that! As luck would have it, she won the bid. The fourth bid went for over $400. So there we were, with a bid almost $200 under anyone else s, and it was our turn to try for the gun. I went up to try the lock the first two bidders tried, but the lock wouldn t even turn. Now it was my turn. The key turned, but nothing happened. Dejected, I relinquished the lock to the last bidder, the local fire chief. His key wouldn t turn, either. My hopes rose when he said Try it again I think you ve got it. When I tried the key in the gunlock again, someone shouted, Pull on the lock! The staff member pulled on the lock, and the new G19 was MINE! I have taken the G19 out only once since I got it. After a few minutes to get used to the trigger within a trigger (I had never fired one before), and the square grip, I began to like it. My S&W 9mm and the S&W.38 are now stored away, and the G19 is what I plan to carry the next time I go down to the border. Thanks, GLOCK, for making such a beautiful weapon! J. C. California Bitten by the GLOCK Bug I was first introduced to GLOCK handguns after graduating from the police academy in I could have gotten a G19 for a steal, but that would have meant another week in the academy for training. So I stuck with my service revolver for my entire career. What a mistake! Now retired, I have been enjoying target shooting. For the last five years I have been wanting a G21, but I couldn t find one for a good price. I only buy guns if they re great deals, so that I can buy more guns. I finally convinced my wife to obtain a CCW. In order to do so, she needed a carry gun, so I purchased five guns for her to try. I got all the guns for good prices. While gun-hunting, I came across a G21C. I bought it for my wife, knowing that if she didn t like it, I would keep it. Well, I got it, I shot it, and I fell in love with it, and now it is my daily carry gun. It is a nice shooting gun, and it has no recoil whatsoever. I have been bitten by the GLOCK bug. I have joined GSSF, and hope to compete this year. I have purchased a G21, G30, and G26, in addition to the G21C. I originally bought the G26 for my wife, but she wants to stick with wheel guns. Now, I am training my ten-year-old daughter to shoot the G26, so that she can enter the GSSF matches with me. With my discount certificate, I am going to purchase a G19 for her to train on as well. As my wife becomes more confident in her gun handling skills, I think that she will see the light. I wish I had sooner. But it s better late than never! D. F. New York State Outstanding Service! I purchased my GLOCK, a G17, in January of 1992, and shot it until I retired in My night sights were getting dim in late 2007, so I contacted the GLOCK service department about replacing them at my expense. The service department completely checked out the gun under warranty at no charge. GLOCK inspected the gun, installed night sights, replaced the recoil spring, the firing pin assembly, the EDP assembly, the extractor, the firing safety, the trigger assembly, the locking block, the slide lock spring and the slide stop; and upgraded the three older magazines. Did I say there was no charge? Yes! The gun was test fired six times handheld at 15 yards resulting in one hole about the size of a quarter. Outstanding service! R. F Florida Traditional Favorite I have a friend with two sons, both living out-ofstate. In the past three years we have established a Christmas Tradition. When his sons come home for the holidays, we go to the range to shoot handguns. We take several brands and calibers with us, but the pistols that get shot the most are my GLOCKS. The favorite gun is the G19. Thanks, GLOCK! J. J. Georgia The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2008 GLOCK, 2008 page Sixty-Three

64 Member s Corner 17,000 Perfect Rounds I have been shooting GLOCKS for about nine years. During that time I have been counting rounds in all of my GLOCKS. I have a G17 that I owned at the 10th anniversary of GSSF. With this G17, serial number 266 of 1000, I have surpassed the 17,000 round mark. I record rounds shot, as well as any malfunctions with the gun. It has been GLOCK perfection from day one, and it has never had a stoppage of any kind. This gun is 100% stock, as it came from GLOCK. The only thing I have replaced is the recoil spring. It was replaced at about 16,000 rounds by the GLOCK armorer at a GSSF match. The original recoil spring was still working fine, but I figured 16,000 rounds were enough for the original. I am totally pleased with GLOCK and all of their products. I believe GLOCK makes the best handgun on the market today. With the kind of reliability I have had with mine, I would argue that the GLOCK is the most reliable pistol ever made. I will be a GLOCK fan for life. B. C. Washington State Shooting Heaven At the age of 16, I began shooting with friends in the Florida Everglades. I still remember that first day, and the double-barrel Remington side-byside. When I was in the U.S. Marine Corps, I fired the awesome M-16A, as well as its under-barrel grenade launcher. I had my first handgun experience with a Colt Commander.45 caliber. Later, I was privileged to hold a G3, and I actually fired the Czechoslovakian version of the AK-47. I ve owned a five-shot nickel-plated S&W.38 cal revolver, and shot a.41 caliber magnum while testing my own.357 silver-plated S & W. But it wasn t until I recently purchased my first GLOCK a G17, 9x19, that I finally experienced true firearm supremacy. I was pleasantly surprised to feel how agile, lightweight and accurate this pistol is. The saying (USMC) Peace Through Fire Superiority, applies to my GLOCK with 17 rounds in the clip, plus one in the chamber. The firepower of this black beauty is unsurpassed by any other handgun I ve ever shot. I have discovered a new way of holding my G17. In movies I ve seen shooters grasp their pistols sideways with the palm of the hand up, and sights facing left (the pistol is parallel to the floor) for a right handed shooter, instead of the standard grip with sights up and palm facing outward. I found this technique to be more natural for the arm. It is a flexible, convenient way to fire a weapon. It is much more comfortable, relieving strain on the elbow, because you don t have to twist the forearm to align the eye, sights and target. I found that it also reduces arm fatigue, which is useful for long shooting times, or when you are using a heavier firearm. The best feature of the G17, besides the previously stated accuracy, weight and agility, is how easy it is to clean. I thought I d have to struggle for a long time to get the slide off, as with other pistols. But the G17 is simple to disassemble; get the barrel out, along with the other parts of the slide, clean and reassemble. I would not trade my G17 for any other pistol. As you can see, I ve fired many guns, but this G17 is definitely shooting heaven. J.
