The Gunny Challenge: A History.
The GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation began in 1991. The goal was to introduce new GLOCK shooters to sport shooting and the use of stock GLOCK
firearms.

The idea was to introduce an exciting contest which might appeal to the Gunny’s at home audience. At the same time, demonstrate what the latest GLOCK
product could do in the hands of a skilled GLOCK shooter, but still someone
with whom the Gunny’s viewers could identify. GSSF devised all-steel target
versions of its three standard match stages and invited its growing collection of
Matchmeisters to shoot for the Gunny Challenge Champion title as well as cash
prizes.
It was decided to conduct the Gunny Challenge the Continental Divide, proved problematic, even in

Hunting, and Outdoor Trades (SHOT) show held in
Las Vegas, Nevada that year.
The first Gunny Challenge was won by Mr. Bobby
Carver who has since become well known for his
“Carver Mounts” devices to add optical sights to
handguns.
For 2007, it was decided to move the Gunny Challenge closer to GLOCK’s US home in Smyrna,
Georgia and reinstitute the original all-steel target
match format introduced two years prior.
In 2006, the Gunny Challenge was again held in
conjunction with the SHOT Show using the newest .45 GAP models, the models G-38 and G-39.
The standard “all paper” GSSF stages were used
rather than the steel target format. The Matchmeister competitors used the G-37, G-38, and G-39 .45
GAP models on the three standard paper match
stages.
When the results were totaled, the winner was Mr.
Dennis Kirchhoff.
The Gunny Challenge had again proven to be a
great success and has since become a GSSF tradition. However, the logistics of transporting targets

Since the Gunny’s support of the US Military is well
known, it was decided to hold the Gunny Challenge
in conjunction with the annual GSSF match, then
held at the US Army Ft. Benning training base in
Columbus, Georgia and hosted by the Army Marksmanship Unit.
GSSF staff encountered a slight obstacle in attempting to pry Gunny away from the Army’s Public
Information Officers, who recognized a good thing
when they saw it and lured him away from GSSF for
morale boosting talks among the soldiers in various
training battalions across the sprawling complex.
The Gunny Challenge itself went off without a hitch.
It was won by Matt Kartozian.
After the Challenge was complete, only a single

as did the Gunny Challenge named in his honor.
Butch Barton defended his title, reclaimed in 2010,
securing his position as the “winningest” Gunny

He was followed by Justin Shurley, who took home
$2,000. Third place went to Jay Shebuski who was
awarded $1,000. Coming in fourth, David Knight

The format was changed to an exciting Matchmeister versus Matchmeister elimination competition. Two Matchmeisters had to hit 7 individual steel targets and then a designated “stop”
target before their opponent. Each Matchmeister had to shoot both sides of the setup using
a GLOCK-supplied firearm in turn to win. The
shooter who achieved the best score in 2 out

GSSF “Shooter Lingo” Glossary
Welcome to the GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation!
10.00 Introduction
Congratulations on taking aim at becoming a better
shooter and a more knowledgeable, safer firearm
owner. In GSSF you will have a blast with firearm
owners who share your same interests. We are
happy to have you as a member of a group dedicated to the basic principles of firearm handling skills
and safety. GSSF members have an active role in
the future of sport shooting and firearm ownership.
Your comments and suggestions will help us keep
our goals and direction on target.
GSSF members are eligible to compete in any
GSSF match throughout the country. Regardless
of your ability, you can compete for prizes and cash
at every match. You may choose to shoot on either
Saturday, Sunday or both days. Matches consist
of three “stages of fire” with both paper and steel
targets. (Please see stage description section.)
Competitors can usually complete all stages of
page 6

the match in one day. Registration opens at about
9:00AM each day and closes at either 2:00PM or
3:00PM depending on the time of year. Shooting
begins after 9:00AM and continues until all registered entries have completed their stages or we run
out of daylight, whichever happens first.
GSSF membership is required of all competitors.
Initial annual memberships remain $35, renewals
are $25, and lifetime memberships are $350. We
also have one, two, three and five year membership options as well. Join GSSF as a family and
save even more! There are also discounted Law
Enforcement memberships available for multiple
members of the same Law Enforcement agency.
You may join GSSF by mail or at a match by paying with cash, check, money order or credit card
(Visa, MasterCard, or Discover). You also have the
option to fax your membership application, paying
with one of the credit cards listed above.
Your initial membership package includes a GLOCK
decal, The GLOCK Annual magazine, a GSSF cap
and a personalized membership card. You will also
receive information about GSSF matches in this and
future editions of The GLOCK Report. The GLOCK
Report is issued periodically to keep you up to date
on upcoming GSSF events and to provide you with
the latest news and information for GLOCK owners.
You must be a current member in order to compete
in GSSF matches.
GLOCK Firearms may also be available to members at better than normal retail prices through
GLOCK’s network of Subdistributors.
GSSF members are also eligible to attend GLOCK
Armorers schools formerly available only to Law
Enforcement officers and professional Gunsmiths.
This edition, volume II of The GLOCK Report, details the GSSF program for the match season beginning January and extending to December. Even
if you are a long-time GSSF member, you will want
to read this edition closely to stay informed of new
changes to the GSSF program. Please be aware
that this edition of The GLOCK Report may be the
only “match announcement” you will receive by mail
for the upcoming season. Be sure to mark your calendar for great GSSF matches and keep this edition handy for future reference. If you happen to
misplace your GLOCK Report, please write or fax
us with your name and current address. We will be
happy to send you another copy. We ask that you
read this edition carefully before contacting GSSF
with any questions you may have. If you find that
you still cannot find the answers you need, please
feel free to write, e-mail or fax us.
The latest information on GSSF can always be
found at www.gssfonline.com. There you can find
previous and current editions of The GLOCK Report, get match information and registration forms
for upcoming matches. Check it out!
We hope you will want to participate in our matches. Remember you do not need to be a competitive
shooter to belong to GSSF. GSSF matches are a
great place to safely shoot and have fun with your
GLOCK pistol. At most matches, a factory certified GLOCK armorer will be glad to examine your
firearm and perform free field maintenance work.
You are welcome to come and watch a match at no
charge. Family members and friends are always
encouraged as well. All spectators and competitors
will be required to sign a simple liability waiver and
wear proper eye and ear protection.
20.00 Safety Considerations
20.05 The fundamental mission of GSSF is to introduce new shooters into the world of competitive
shooting. The rules and procedures necessary for
everyone to safely and enjoyably attend a competitive shooting event may be somewhat different from
what you are used to at your local shooting range,
local shooting club, or the back pasture back home
where you plink tin cans. We therefore must insist
that you follow the safety and match rules and procedures detailed here and not those that you may
be used to elsewhere.
20.10 As a firearms owner and user, you must take
responsibility for the safe handling and storage of
your firearms. WE DO NOT ALLOW MEMBERS
WHO DO NOT FOLLOW PROPER SAFETY PROCEDURES TO COMPETE IN GSSF MATCHES.
Anyone not following safety rules will be required to
leave the range. GSSF stresses the following basic
rules of firearm safety.
20.20 Safety Rules
1. Handle all firearms as if they were loaded.
2. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction.
3. Keep your finger out of the firearm’s trigger

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.
30.00 Advice for Beginners
30.10 If you are a new shooter it is best to seek
the advice and instruction of a professional firearms
instructor in your area. The type of class or classes
you attend depends upon your intended use of your
firearm.
30.20 Once you have learned the basics of safely
handling and firing your firearm you can improve
your firearm skills before shooting any match by
setting goals for yourself and practicing. Practice
dry firing (manipulating the firearm with no ammunition) to help you achieve this goal.
20.30 Please remember your firearm is your responsibility. Failure to follow safety rules will result
in disqualification and removal from the range.
30.30 Only perform dry firing with an unloaded firearm. You should not have any magazines with am20.40 Competitors who are not able to safely han- munition in the same room with you. Stand in a

both accurately and quickly are always the same.
20.80 Unsportsmanlike Conduct. It is GSSF’s mission to ensure all have a safe and fun time at GSSF
matches. At no time will the GSSF staff, Range
Officers and Range Master tolerate gross, unsportsmanlike conduct by anyone attending GSSF
matches. Anyone acting in such a manner will be
required to leave the range.
20.90 Negligent Discharge. A negligent discharge
is unsafe and will result in disqualification.

40.0 The Stock GLOCK and Modifications
40.10 Stock GLOCK Philosophy. It is our intention
to keep Amateur-Stock and Master-Stock divisions
on a “level playing field” by ensuring the use of
stock GLOCK firearms in all divisions except for the

90.60 For competitors who have pre-registered for
a match but were unable to attend, GSSF will issue
credit vouchers. Credit vouchers may be used for
membership fees and/or registration fees at future
matches. Only original vouchers will be accepted. GSSF will not accept faxes or copies of credit
vouchers.
90.30 Registration/Membership forms for the current GSSF season may be found in this and other
current editions of The GLOCK Report and on our
website, www.gssfonline.com. Do not use forms
published in prior years as the information and fees
listed on them may be obsolete.
90.80 At registration you will register (pre-registered or walk-up registration), sign a liability release,
obtain your scoresheet labels and read or receive a
competitor briefing. Be sure to tell the registration
personnel if you are pre-registered for the match.
Confirm the accuracy of registration information for
the division and any special categories you are eligible for.
90.40 We strongly recommend our pre-registration
option. This allows us to have processed all of
your paperwork and data entry before you arrive
and allows us to have pre-printed your scoresheet
labels so they are ready for you when you arrive.
This gets you out on the range as fast as possible
and you do not have to stand in line for very long.
You may do this by mail, e-mail, or fax. We will
not accept pre-registration without proper payment.

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 lay-out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Range Officers or the Range
Master. Be advised, there may be several duplicate set-up’s for each stage of fire.
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.
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 signin sheet so the Range Officers knows 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
he or she is present when it is time to squad competitors.
•
The scorekeeping Range Officer will manage the sign-in area and distribute scoresheets for
the next eight priority based entries.
•
Competitors should assist the Range Officer’s in pasting targets and resetting steel until being squadded.

exception is for range officials who need to shoot
through and return to work their stage set-up.
4. Once your name has been called for inclusion
on a squad, have the Range Officer place your
labels on the appropriate scoresheet(s), or place
your label(s) on the scoresheet(s) provided by the
Range Officer as the case may be and return the
scoresheet(s) to the Range Officer to be placed in
the squad shooting order. At no time is anyone to be
provided with 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 and administered by the Range Officers to enable them to control the proper shooting order.
110.60 In order to accommodate all competitors
and to finish as quickly as possible for our volunteers, we ask that competitors not take excessive
delays to begin shooting. This applies to those not
making themselves available when there are no
competitors waiting at a stage. We understand that
GSSF matches are fun, social events but please
begin shooting when the opportunity presents itself as soon as possible. Once you have finished

like.

a safe direction (towards the targets) at all times
especially when reloading and unloading. Failure
to do so will disqualify you from the match.
130.80 When you have completed shooting your
entry, the Range Officer will instruct you to unload
and show clear. Regardless of whether you plan to
shoot another entry, your firearm must be holstered
or secured in a suitable container (see Transport

130.82 When you have finished shooting your immediate entry or entries at a given stage, it is “good
manners” to pack up and remove all of your equipment and paraphenalia from the shooting position,
or at least place it off to one side and out of the way,
so that the next shooter may begin laying out his or
her magazines or otherwise prepare to shoot. Do
not let your paraphernalia to “just sit” at the shooting
position while the scoring and stage reset process
is going on unless you are going to shoot another
entry immediately.
You may initial your scoresheet after it has been
scored. The specific purpose of initialing your
scoresheet is to allow you the time and opportunity to review your scoresheet and confirm that it is
complete and correct 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 unless the Range Officer(s) agrees
with a correction.
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 Range Officers at the stage setup where
you shot that stage, and/or the GSSF Personnel in
attendance as the case may be, and discuss it with
them so that proper action may be taken.

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.
GSSF reserves the right to change the respective
competitor’s entries to another appropriate Division
as can best be done at the time. Any such entries
that cannot be properly reclassified will be declared
“DNF” and the competitor’s entry fee(s) will be credited appropriately.
170.45 Under no circumstances of match scheduling or attendance, or the timing of the issuance of
match awards, or any other factor or combination of
factors, will any competitor be awarded more than
three (3) GLOCK pistols as an Amateur. Should a
competitor win his or her third such GLOCK pistol
within a match wherein he or she also would have
“won” another firearm or other awards in another
Division or Subdivision, GSSF will award the appropriate awards at its own discretion.
170.65 If you have competed as a “Master” in the
past under GSSF’s then existent rules and believe
you no longer qualify as a “Master” in GSSF as now
defined above, make your case to GSSF for return
to “Amateur” status and it will be considered on an
individual basis. If you reached “Master” status by
means of winning three GLOCK firearms awards,
reversions to “Amateur” status will not be considered.
170.50 Definition of “Master”
1. The competitor is a professional shooter.
2. The competitor has won three (3) GLOCK firearms as “high overall” in any division at previous
GSSF matches.
3. The competitor has finished in the top 25 percentile of a non- GSSF major shooting competition (State-level championship or above. At
least three Master or above shooters must have
shot the same competition against whom the
GSSF member’s relative performance can be
compared).
4. The competitor is classified “Master” or above
in NRA, PPC, ICORE, IPSC/USPSA, Cowboy
Action or similar shooting disciplines.
5. “Master” ranking in IDPA shall no longer count
towards “Master” status in GSSF.
6. The competitor is a member of an armed forces
pistol shooting team.
7. The competitor is a member of a (non-GSSF)
law enforcement organization-sponsored pistol
shooting team.
8. Some shooting disciplines do not have a formal
“Master” or similar ranking system. GSSF reserves the authority to adjudge the relative Amateur versus Master skill level of any shooter in
question and classify them accordingly.
170.70 Guardian to Civilian “Cross over”. 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 GSSF Award distribution system whereby it was often to a Guardian’s
advantage to shoot in the Civilian category instead.
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.
170.80 Definition of Guardian
Generally speaking, those who are in a “hazardous
public service” position, their equivalents in private
industry, or eligible retirees thereof.
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 firearm
instructor.

the competitor to carry arms while on duty and
authorizes the competitor to perform the same
law enforcement functions and duties as fulltime officers of the agency. (Unarmed auxiliary
members of law enforcement agencies are not
included.)
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.
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.
The competitor is a full-time or volunteer firefighter or paramedic.
The competitor is retired from any of the above
positions and receiving benefits from the organization.
170.90 Firearms used in the Civilian, Guardian,
and Master-Stock divisions. Adult competitors
may use stock noncompensated G17, 19, 20, 21,
22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 37, 38 and 39
GLOCK firearms. If G38 or G39 firearms are used
it is recommended that G37 magazines be used. If
a competitor possesses a compensated model of
one of the above (G17C, 19C, 20C, 21C, 22C, 23C,
31C, or 32C) and a GLOCK-produced non-compensated barrel for that firearm model, the competitor may use their “C” model firearm combined with
the GLOCK-produced non-compensated barrel
to shoot their Civilian, Guardian, or Master-Stock
entries. Junior 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.
BOTH COMPETITORS AND RANGE OFFICERS
SHOULD NOTE THAT A GREAT DEAL OF CONFUSION ARISES BETWEEN THE SUBCOMPACT,
HEAVY METAL, AND MAJOR SUBCOMPACT DIVISIONS. BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND BOTH
THE SIMILARITIES AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM ESPECIALLY IF YOU
ARE ACTING AS A RANGE OFFICER AND/OR
INTEND TO SHOOT THESE DIVISIONS AT THE
SAME MATCH.
MAJOR SUBCOMPACT
170.110 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 only load 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.
HEAVY METAL
170.111 This Division is for all competitors, both
Amateur and Master, who wish to compete with their

COMPETITION
170.120 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, Heavy Metal, or MasterStock divisions (G17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29,
30, 31, 32, 33, 37, 38 and 39), or any stock factory
compensated (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
170.130 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,
Heavy Metal, 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
170.140 This division is open to all competitors,
both Master and Amateur. The following applies:
1. There will be no differentiation between competitors who are Civilians or Guardians.
2. All competitors compete equally and there are
no special category awards.
180.00 Teams
page 22
©GLOCK, 2012
180.10 Teams may be formed from 3 competitors
in the following respective divisions only:
• Civilian Teams
• Within Civilian Division only, “Junior” Teams
• Guardian Teams
• Master Stock Teams
Cost per Team Entry is $10.00.
180.20 Team scores may not include scores from
the Subcompact, Competition, Heavy Metal, Major
Subcompact, or Unlimited divisions, nor may single
teams be made up of combinations of Civilian and
Guardian competitors. Competitors may register
for one such team per division per match only.
180.30 Team registration sheets must be complete
to be accepted. This includes contact information,
team name and entry numbers for all participants.
Team forms (with any changes) will only be accepted at Registration at the match. Team registration
is closed when registration closes for the match on
Sunday. Team forms mailed or faxed to GSSF will
not be accepted.
180.40 Team awards are 1st, 2nd and 3rd place
plaques (depending on the number of team entries). Only one plaque is normally awarded per
team. If you wish additional plaques, please contact our plaque vendor. The plaque vendor (current
as of February, 2011) is subject to change without
notice.

190.00 Match Results and Awards
190.10 “Raw” scores will be posted on GSSF’s
website, www.gssfonline.com following the match.
This initial posting will not include any prize distribution information. Competitors should check their
carbon scoresheet copies against the raw scores
for accuracy. If any apparent discrepancies are
found, competitors finding apparent errors should
report them to GSSF as soon as possible. The
best way to contact GSSF about scoring discrepancies is to via e-mail at [email protected]. The scoring will be reviewed, appropriate corrections made,
and corrected results reposted. Repostings may
not take place for several days after discrepancies
have been reported. When there have been no
further corrections for a reasonable time the prize
information will be added, results and awards posted, and awards issued. Any discrepancies found
after that time will not be corrected. Hard copies
of match results will only be mailed to those match
participants who specifically request by mail or fax
that a hard copy be sent to them.
190.20 Prize Allocation. There will be two classes of awards. “Performance” awards based upon
each individual competitor’s winning performance
within each Division he or she shoots and “Random” awards based upon the overall size of the
match. Random awards will be distributed across
the entire match and will not be Division-specific.
The number and types of both “Performance” and
“Random” awards will directly coincide with the final number of valid match entries completed at that
match.
190.22 CHECKS ISSUED FOR CASH AWARDS
MUST BE CASHED WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF
THE DATE OF THE CHECK. THERE WILL BE NO
“GRACE PERIOD” ONCE THE SIX MONTH PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. CHECKS NOT CASHED
WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME WILL BE VOID
AND WILL NOT BE REPLACED.
190.24 FIREARMS AWARD, MATCH COMPENSATION, AND RANGE OFFICER FIREARMS
CERTIFICATES MUST BE REDEEMED WITHIN
ONE YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE MATCH FOR
WHICH THEY WERE ISSUED. THERE WILL BE
NO “GRACE PERIOD” ONCE THE ONE YEAR
PERIOD HAS EXPIRED.
190.25 MatchMeister. The MatchMeister award will
be awarded to the single best performance among
the Civilian, Guardian, Subcompact, Competition,
Heavy Metal, or MasterStock divisions by either an
Amateur or Master competitor. The prize will be a
GLOCK firearms certificate.
190.30 Special Category Performance Awards.

Gunny Challenge VII
Charity Donation
At the 2012 Annual Shoot in Conyers, GSSF held a charity raffle with the winner
gaining the opportunity to directly compete against the Gunny. The raffle raised
$500 on site, which was later matched by GLOCK Professional, Inc. for a $1000
total contribution. Proceeds were donated to the Fisher House Foundation, Inc. The
donations were made in the names of R. Lee “Gunny” Ermey and raffle winner Cale
Barton.
The Fisher House Foundation, Inc. provides supportive, comfortable lodging near
military and VA medical facilities. These lodgings allow military families to be near
their loved ones during injuries or illness. For more information on this organization,
visit www.fisherhouse.org
The staff of GSSF and GLOCK Professional, Inc. would like to thank Gunny and
Cale for selecting Fisher House Foundation, Inc. as the recipient of the proceeds.
We would also like to congratulate Cale in his victory over Gunny, who graciously
accepted defeat. The real winner was the Fisher House Foundation.

GSSF Armorer’s Service
A valuable service offered at GSSF matches
is the presence of a GLOCK armorer. At every outdoor match GSSF hosts, GLOCK provides a factory
trained and certified technician to work on competitors’ firearms. This service is not offered by anyone
else and is available free of charge to GLOCK owners.
The armorer is a GLOCK employee who has
been trained and certified by GLOCK to inspect,
maintain, and repair GLOCK pistols. This person
may be one of the GSSF Range Staff, a Commercial Manager, or District Manager. This service is
offered to accommodate people who may not otherwise be able to access factory armorers for maintenance on their firearms. The same service is offered at the factory in Smyrna, GA. However, some
people live too far to make it to Smyrna and can be
better served with armorer work at a match near
where they live.
At GSSF matches, competitors and spectators can have their guns inspected by an armorer.
Services include replacing out of date or broken
parts, diagnosing problems, or a simple armorer’s
check to ensure proper reliability and functioning. If
parts are in need of replacement the armorer can
replace them for the shooter with new factory parts
at the match. This can include changing sights and
swapping factory parts such as extended magazine
releases. These parts are made available for replacement at no charge.
Both the armorers’ time and the replacement
parts are made available as a service to GSSF
members by GLOCK. As with any standard warranty repairs, this service is offered by GLOCK free
of charge.

THE NEW RIVER GLOCK
A friend of mine wrote a short article that was published in the January 2011 issue of the GLOCK
Annual Magazine about a GLOCK 22 that was
being carried by a white water rafter on the New
River in West Virginia and was lost in the water
and later found about nine months later. He wrote
that someone found it and his friend later bought
the pistol and it would still fire with no problems.
I finally had a chance to see the pistol at the Coalfields Classic Match that was held at the Beckley
Gun Club on August 11th and 12th, 2012. The
new owner was a range officer at the GLOCK ‘M
stage and he showed it to me. When he removed
it from his range bag the darn thing looked like a
ticked off, soon to be ex-wife took a dremel tool to
the slide. The lower frame had numerous nicks
and cuts and he said “It still fires”. He then removed the slide and I saw the recoil spring and
rod and was a little shocked because both ends
of the rod were broken off and the spring’s ends
were coiled up like Freddie Kruger’s claws.
er been white water rafting and if that is on your
bucket list you may want to take a float trip on
the New River and maybe even parachute off of
the bridge. I have done a lot of stupid things in
my time but my kahunas will not allow me to do
either. The Indians used to call the New River
“The River of Death.” That helps to explain why
the pistol looks like it was tortured by a ticked off
soon to be ex-wife.
After the pistol was gutted, John replaced every
part in the frame and slide except the barrel. I’ve
known John for a while now and I know if he had
a spare barrel he would have replaced the old
one.
After the pistol had been literally rebuilt, the original owner, current owner, and I went to the plate
rack and I was able to run a few rounds through
it and I had no problems with the pistol cycling. I
have shot, owned, and traded a lot of handguns
in my time and I know for sure if it was a 1911 or
any other type of steel framed pistol it would not

walked with him to see John.
When John saw the pistol he
had the most shocked, horrific look on his face. Once
John heard the story he went
to work replacing parts. A lot
of parts.
Spanning across the New
River is one of the highest and
longest bridges in the world
and it sets eight hundred senenty six feet high, called
the New River Gorge Bridge.

GSSF Indoor League Range of the Year 2012
The award for GSSF Indoor League Range of the Year will be given to our top participating range. The
Range receiving the award will be featured as the Top Indoor GSSF Range in an article in the Vol. 1
GLOCK Report 2013. Also, the Range will receive a beautiful award plaque to proudly display their accomplishment.
This award will be determined by GSSF Member attendance, recruiting of new and renewal memberships and by Member nominations. Nominating Members must have participated in a Series at the
Range they are nominating for this prestigious award from January 2012 to December 2012. Nominations will not be counted beyond January 31, 2013. Only one nomination per GSSF Member will be
accepted. Please email your choice for Range of the Year to [email protected] stating all
reasons you feel that your Range is especially deserving of this award. All Member input will be carefully considered and is greatly appreciated. Make sure that your favorite Range gets the recognition that
they deserve, all of them work very hard to provide a terrific, safe and fun event for all who attend.
Thank you to all of you who host GSSF Indoor League Series, your hard work and time spent is so
valued by all of us here at the GSSF; I wish that I could award every range. We are having such a great
year and I enjoy working with each and every one of you. Keep up the good work; you never know who
may be GSSF Range of the Year.
Shoot well!

Pistol Giveaway Winner
In 1996 I purchased my first GLOCK, a G-27. I had
done a lot of studying, first about buying a GLOCK
because they were still fairly new on the market.
Naturally some shooting buddies laughed at me for
considering a “plastic” piece of junk. The friends
who owned a GLOCK all said they were perfection. None of them had anything to say against the
GLOCK. I tried every one I could get my hands on,
and liked them all.
The next problem was the caliber, since I had always preferred 45, going to the 40 was a problem.
The 40 won me over. Although I was doing a lot of
tournament shooting, I continued to use my 45’s.
On a dreary tournament weekend I decided to use
my baby GLOCK. My scores were better than usual. So it had to be a fluke so I bought a GLOCK 21,
a full size GLOCK 45. My scores stayed the same
as with my baby GLOCK.
I am still carrying the GLOCK 27, every time I leave
my home. In all these years the baby GLOCK has
not missed a beat! Nothing has broken, I have not
had to replace any springs, and I have not even had
one misfire. Gaston GLOCK has me a happy man,
and a very satisfied customer.
After all these 16 years, I am going to buy another
GLOCK 27. In fact the gun shop is getting it ready
for me now. I will pick it up this afternoon or tomorrow.
I will write again in 16 years to let you know how
good this one is!

She has also become a “GLOCK Certified Armorer”. I think the most unique thing my wife does is
draw a GLOCK Logo on her trigger finger for all the
matches. “Thank You” to GLOCK for your support

I bought my first GLOCK in 1992 in Savannah, GA.
I was on summer leave from the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was a GLOCK 23
in .40 caliber. After shooting it on leave, I left it with
my brother in Georgia. I would get it from him when
I was on leave for concealed carry.

chance to attend the GLOCK Armorer’s Course that
had previously been open to law enforcement officers only. I saw there was an upcoming armorer’s
course across the river in Portland, OR. I submitted
my application to the GSSF and after receiving my
credentials, signed up for the armorer’s course. I
felt the course would add to my technical knowledge of firearms and would compliment my NRA
Certified Instructor credentials.
It was kind of weird being the only civilian in a
classroom of 29 law enforcement officers, but the
instructor and the facilitator/LEO sale rep made me
feel welcome. In all, it was a great class. Everyone
in the class learned something, even the previously
certified armorers who were back for re-certification
(and there were some springs lost in the disassembly, however, I was not guilty of such an offense).
I passed all the practical demonstrations and the
written test and got my certification.
Also, now that I live in Vancouver, there is a GSSF
match close to where I live. I am planning to attend
the Beaver State Ballistic Challenge in JUNE 2012.
I thought that this would be great for the newsletter.
We took our daughter to the range and she insisted
on wearing her GSSF hat and carrying one of our
guns. It was a precious moment for us. She had
a great time hanging out with Mom, Dad and their
friends.

I just wanted to say thank you to GLOCK and to
all the volunteers who made my first GSSF experience such a thrill. My son and I attended the 5th
Table Rock Challenge in Morganton, NC on April
21. It was my first competitive shooting event of
any kind. I shot in the Civilian division with my
G19, in the Sub-Compact division with my G26,
and Heavy Metal with my G21. Despite threats of
rain, turnout was great. Everyone was very friendly
and the volunteers and vendors simply could not
have been nicer. My nerves were obvious at my
first course, GLOCK the Plates, but the RO was like
an old friend. I’d never met him before, but it was
like we’d shot together for years. As he put it, “as
long as there’s lead in the air, it’s going to be a good
day”, and it really was.
My son, age 12, is proudly wearing the Team
GLOCK hat he bought that day. He also got a
GLOCK Shooting Sports t-shirt that I think he’s
worn just about every day since.

Here it is, January 2012 and there is a GSSF indoor
league match at Total Firearms in Mason Michigan.
A place I had never been. Shot the match in January, then February, then March. Oh, and I shot a
500 in February. On March 23, I received a call
that I was the Winner of the match so made arrangements to stop over on 3/24/12 to pick up the
plaque and the 500 patch. Made the comment to
my wife that as long as we were there I wanted to
just take a quick look to see what the store had on

convinced myself that they were simply too expensive for a cop retired since 1988, who’s retirement
was the same today as it was 24 years ago. My wife
could tell by the look on my face, and she told me to
get it. (I’ve told everyone the store would not let me
leave without buying it, and, they gave me a 10%
discount!). By the way, I turn 72 in July.

In the picture is my father-in-law. He died this
March 19th. This picture is of him shooting at this
past GLOCK match in Topton, Pa, the last one he
will ever compete at. All his life he shot, from little
on up, he was an avid IPSC shooter and was in
the master class. He was a member of USPSA and
would travel the country going to different matches.
All this stopped in the early 2000’s when he was
diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and was unable to breathe or run to get around the courses of
fire. The annual GLOCK match in Topton, PA kept
him able to shoot.
The match was a godsend, he had participated in it
from its start at Topton and even RO’d many of the
matches, and the fact that the match is stationary
kept him able to shoot it. He had recently started
his grandson down the path of competitive shooting, where my son claimed best junior male shooter
in the Keystone State Ballistics Challenge the past
two years running. His death has taken a large toll
on the entire family especially my son who he was
closest to.
My son is now starting to get very serious with
shooting due to his grandfather’s death and has expressed that he wanted a new GLOCK to compete
with at the match in August for a great last hoorah for his grandfather. The gentleman who runs
the match at Topton has been a great family friend
for years now and has already expressed that he
would, being a retired state policeman and an avid
shooter, be more than happy to train my son some
more and pick up where my father-in-law left off.

the level of commitment my son has shown and I
would love to get him a new GLOCK for his upcomThe GLOCK Report® / Volume II, 2012

After getting up “WHEN?!?”, as my wife said, to
drive to the match, we shot the match, then went to
Lone Star Steakhouse for dinner, and drove home.
After unpacking the car, we went for a turtle sundae at a local ice cream parlor. Yep, GSSF match,
steak, followed by ice cream. It was a good day,
indeed!
My wife was using “her gun”, which used to be my
gun, a Gen3 GLOCK 19.On her very first stage,
GLOCK ‘M, she had zero misses, and shot in a
pretty good time! On the 2nd stage, 5-to-GLOCK,

This story actually starts in 2005. I decided it was
we had to wait a long time for our turn to shoot (2+
hours), and she ended up with 2 misses, but still
shot ok. She would have had three, but I noticed
an edge hit after the RO had scored it as a miss. I
got her back! I pasted a bunch to make things go
faster, but the RO’s were running the 3 lanes one
at a time, due to not setting the timers sensitivity
correctly. They also stopped (understandably so,)
every time a train passed on the tracks above and
just beyond the stage, which was pretty often. A
lot of people were getting frustrated because things
were so slow. Between pasting, we just enjoyed
talking to some of the master class shooters who
are always so helpful to newbies.
On the 1st plate rack, she hit her 1st & 2nd plates
with the first 2 bullets, and ended up getting 5 of 6
knocked down. On her 2nd she only got 3/6. On
her 3rd she somehow managed to knock down 2
plates with just one shot! I’d never seen that before, nor had anyone else at the match – and she
got 5/6 down. She kept putting her hands on her
hips and smiling, all proud of the fact that she could
knock down two plates with just one bullet when it
takes everyone else two. On her last plate rack,
she got all 6 down! I was very proud of her!
I managed to shoot my best match ever with my
new Gen4 34 that I won last year, and was able
to get thanks to you changing my certificate for
me. My raw time was 79.97 seconds (a personal
best) with just 8 seconds added, two +3s, and two
+1s (another personal best.) I shot the GLOCK ‘M
stage nearly perfectly, with just +1 stupid second
added time. It was only in the +1 ring by about 1/8”,
too. Grrr!
I struggled a bit on the plates. Not nearly as fast
as my three sub-5 second runs last fall at Brighton,
MI, and a couple of empty gun slide locks, but no
misses at least. Whew!
We’ll see in a couple of weeks when scores come
online how we placed at the match, and if we won
anything. There were about 125-150 competitors
there, I would guess. My scores were low enough
that I’m hoping for my 1st top ten ever. Fingers
crossed! We remembered to sign up for the new
member drawing. Fingers crossed there, too!
time to purchase a new carry pistol since my everyday carry that I used in conjunction with my
concealed pistol license was getting heavy (1911).
Honestly, I had a preexisting bias against “plastic”
guns. However, as hard as it was, I put that bias
aside and researched all of the major brands including GLOCK pistols. I finally went to my local
gun store and held all of the pistols that were in my
consideration set. My choice even surprised me, it
was a GLOCK 23. That pistol fit my hand the best
and felt perfectly balanced. Its size was perfect for
an everyday carry pistol. I purchased that pistol
and never looked back.
Fast forward to 2012. In addition to my faithful
GLOCK 23, I now own a GLOCK 17 (RTF2), GLOCK
21, and finally, on order, a new Gen4 GLOCK 34
(because of the 2nd part of this story below).
With the price of ammo and reloading components
rising, I have been telling my cousin he should get
a pistol in 9mm because this caliber is very affordable and fun to shoot. Additionally, we ran across
a once in a lifetime deal on reloading components
that was comprised of 90% 9mm components. That
deal was the spark that lit the fire for him. He had
some of the preexisting biases as I did but figured
if GLOCK pistols have survived for 25 years they
must be good! After many conversations with him
about the benefits of GLOCK pistols, one evening
I received a text from him that included a picture of
his new Gen4 GLOCK 34.
Since purchasing his new GLOCK 34 pistol, we
have been to the shooting range many times and it
has performed flawlessly. Now, every time we go
to the range he gives me a hard time about how I
should have told him sooner about GLOCK pistols.
I just shake my head and smile.
Last night, he called me and asked if I would bring
my GLOCK 23 to the range the next time we went
shooting because he would like to try a GLOCK in
.40 caliber as he was considering another GLOCK
purchase. I replied simply, “don’t worry, I’ll have it”.
PS: I’ve recently become a GSSF Lifetime Member because of my belief in shooting sports and the
GLOCK family of products.

about three years. We shoot 8 or 9 matches a year.
Watching my kids grow up and mature while participating in GSSF has made me realize that shooting
sports are much more than a pass-time. Teaching my kids to safely handle and use firearms gives
them skills that may come in use sometime later
in life. The basic skills that are needed for self defense are invaluable.
Along with this, participating in the shooting sports
with GSSF, teaches valuable lessons as well.
Sportsmanship, respect, confidence and responsibility are some things that are expected in the
sport. These traits seem to be common at GSSF
matches. These traits are also what makes GSSF
matches a safe place to be and makes the sport in
general safe.
We always look forward to the GSSF matches we
attend. Along with the competitiveness and actual
shooting, we enjoy seeing all our friends that attend
most of the same matches. There are things we
like about all of the matches we attend. There is always something a little bit different about each city
and range. It’s hard to decide which match is our
favorite. What started out as just family members
has grown to a group of 11. We all try to make as
many matches together as possible. As the group
gets bigger, it just makes it more fun.
I always encourage anyone who I talk to about firearms to first, buy a GLOCK, second get some training and third attend a GSSF match as soon as they
can. GLOCK and GSSF are the best!
So far, it was a perfect choice of sport to get me
back on track and it opened up new possibilities. Of
course GLOCK played an important part with providing excellent equipment, such as the pistol, and
also with GSSF in making the participation in the
shooting sport so much easier. When I attended the
Armorer’s Class I discovered even more of the simplicity and straight forward functionality of GLOCK
pistols. With the acquired knowledge I am now so
much more confident in shooting a GLOCK since a
feel absolutely safe with it. The class teacher was
so knowledgeable and what also impressed me
was the presence of the GLOCK District Manager
throughout the entire class which really showed me
how important GLOCK is taking their training. And
on top everybody was wonderful friendly and it was
a great atmosphere. One accomplishment leads to
another and I started participating in the GSSF Indoor League at my local range. Eventhough I am
not into competition I really enjoyed the participation. So, I am now considering participating on a
kind of regular basis at GSSF events just for the fun
of being there.

In 2005 I shot my first GLOCK Match and won 2
pistols. I gave one of them to our son to start shooting. He was only 9 at the time. We are members of
our local gun club and shoot off and on throughout
the summer. In July 2012, my son (now 16) shot
his first GLOCK Match in Missoula, MT. As parents,
my wife and I were excited and nervous for him as
he stepped up to the plate rack for the first time.
As the plates dropped one by one and the grin appeared on his face we knew he would do just fine.
The final results came out today and he did more
than just fine, he was top Junior shooter and 17th
out of 74 in Civilian Class. He is most proud of the
fact that he beat his Dad’s score in one round. He
is already planning our summer vacation next year
and which GLOCK Matches we can attend. We look
forward to many more matches as a family and we
may even get Mom talked into shooting next year.
Thank you for giving juniors the opportunity to enjoy
a sport with their parents.

I have been shooting GLOCKs now for about 14
years and they are the only center fire pistol I own.
I have owned other brands of pistols but sold them
and now I am all GLOCK. The reason for this is
simple, GLOCKs work and they keep on working.
The ease of maintenance and the consistent trigger pull among all the GLOCK pistols and calibers
makes operating this gun second nature.
Did I mention that they work? I am still trying to get

My father-in-law and I attended our first GSSF shoot
at Brighton, MI on August 4, 2012 and had a wonderful time! We were very impressed by S. Banks
and the armorer services he provided throughout
the day. He took the time to explain all of the different inspections he performed, and replaced a
number of worn out parts on my Model 22. We also
learned a lot from him just by waiting in line and listening to his discussion with other GSSF members
as he serviced their pistols.
It was great to meet other GSSF members while
waiting our turn at each of the stages. Once they
found out this was our first shoot they offered excellent tips and suggestions. We were amazed at
the level of camaraderie amongst the shooters.
The event was a “competition” but did not feel like
it since both shooters and Range Officers were extremely helpful towards each other.
We really appreciated GSSF members allowing us
to examine other GLOCK models and talking about
their differences. My father-in-law does not own
a pistol, and this gave him an opportunity to see
and hold a number of different models. As a result,
I believe he is leaning towards purchasing a Gen
4 Model 17, and I am excited to purchase a Gen 4

Thank you so much for a very safe, fun, and relaxed shooting experience – we cannot wait to do
it again next year! I have talked with friends and
family about it, and will hopefully bring other new
members in the future.
So, this past winter, my husband decided I should
take up shooting. I’m not sure how he did it, but
somehow he convinced me
to go with him to the shooting range. He hung up a
few targets and let me get
a feel for the empty gun as
he gave me a few pointers. Then, he loaded up his
GLOCK 19, with a .22 conversion kit on it, and told me
to give it a try. As I shot my
first couple rounds, I thought
“Huh...that was kind of fun”!
A little bit empowering, even.
I’m also afraid he caught me
cracking a grin! How embarrassing! A few months later,
he said that I should shoot
in the Dayton, OH GSSF
match. Personally, I thought
he was nuts because I had
only been shooting for a few

I am 13 years old and just participated in my first
GSSF match at Mid Carolina Rifle Club in Columbia, SC on August 23. It was a really good experience!
I felt a little bit worried when I first went up, but the
range officers were very helpful and explained how
everything goes, and made sure I wasn’t confused
before I started. After I got my first score sheet, I
had a little more confidence about the other courses
I was trying that day. I thought I did pretty well for
my first time! But, the only reason I did so well is
because I have the best coach, who is also a GSSF
member. He is my mom’s boyfriend and he told me
about the GSSF. I liked shooting with him out at Fort
Jackson, so I thought “Eh? Why not join, too?”
I participated in the GLOCK the Plates, 5 to GLOCK,
and GLOCK ‘M courses, but I enjoyed the GLOCK
the Plates course the most. My first course was a
little harder, but when I was shooting for the second
time, I did a little better. When it came to the plates,
I was on a roll. I missed one before I ran out of bullets, but still, it’s pretty good for a first try.
I am definitely going to participate in another match
soon, and thank you to GSSF for making it possible for me and other juniors to participate in sport
