I Changed My Mind
Volume II, 2002
Pistol Giveaway Winner I
O
n June 1, 2002 my family and I traveled to Fulton,
NY for the GSSF Empire State Regional Classic IX.
This was our first shooting match and we were unsure
about what to expect. We were delightfully surprised
with our experience. All of the people we encountered
were friendly and knowledgeable. Pictured is our
daughter, 6 months old, at her first GLOCK match. The
first of many, we are hoping!
am a former Navy Seal. Through my experience in the
Navy and when abroad for my studies in the States, I
had the chance to use several kinds of handguns.
I used to be a great fan of Smith & Wesson and I
supported my choice very firmly. However, when I handled
my first GLOCK I changed my opinion completely.
Now at 34 years of age, I have won a G17, a G19, and
a G30. I want you to know that GLOCK is the best
choice I have ever made. I will never regret it! “Better
late than never!” They are my babies. Believe it or not,
I spend more time with them than with my girlfriend.

New GLOCK Recruit
purchased my very first GLOCK about five months
ago and am proud to have become a GSSF member. I
am a US Marine in North Carolina, and my commanding
officer believes in teaching his Marines to be proficient
with a pistol. And, of all the Marines he has introduced to
IPSC and the art of pistol shooting, I am proud that so
far I am the only Marine to never experience a jam or
malfunction. My G23 is a fine weapon, and after reading
your article in The GLOCK Report, “The GLOCK That
Rose Again,” it is reassuring that the G23 will be there for
me in any conditions and environments I am in. Thank
you for making such a fine weapon—I cannot wait for
my first GSSF match.
I
Prior to purchasing our GLOCKs we did extensive
research on the various handguns available. We not
only wanted a dependable handgun, we wanted a safe
one as well. In addition to purchasing our GLOCKs, we
also purchased a safe in which to store them as we
have 4 children in the house. It was our goal to take
great care in teaching our children about gun safety.
We both work together in teaching them the proper
ways in which to handle firearms. It is our firm belief
that it is a parent’s responsibility to educate their
children as well as keep their weapons locked away
out of harm’s way.
In the back of our minds is always the threat that we
might someday lose our right to bear arms. We hope to
never see that day so that we may continue to enjoy
our GLOCKs for many generations.
Our choice of firearm is GLOCK because it is not
only the most reliable gun on the market, but it is the
safest!

Starting Early
hooting the GSSF matches has surely become a
family affair. My husband began shooting them in
1996; I started when we began dating in 1999 and we
compete twice a year as a married couple at the Dallas
and San Antonio matches here in Texas. But recently
we’ve been bringing a new Junior Shooter with us to
pass on our commitment to the shooting sports. Thus
far, she’s attended 3 GSSF matches.
This may not seem too remarkable or that unusual,
since we certainly see many couples and families
enjoying the matches. But what is unique about our
circumstances is that our new Junior Shooter is only 7
months old! She began attending the matches while I
was still pregnant with her (though I didn’t shoot that
tournament, upon doctor’s recommendation only), and
she’s been going with us ever since. Her second match
was the wet and cold San Antonio December 2001 match
and her most recent was the 2002 Dallas match. We plan
to take her to the inaugural Schreveport match this year.
We’re certainly excited to introduce her to the shooting
sports, and look forward to her winning the Junior
Female category once she’s old enough to understand
and master all of the safety elements. Good shooting!

model for the model that I really wanted with very
little trouble. I’m now the proud owner of a G21 in .45
caliber. I love it and shoot it at every opportunity.
This past weekend in Spokane, Washington the CanAm Police/Fire Games were held. Since I am a
Canadian Customs officer, I entered the competition
and had a terrific weekend of shooting and talking to
other officers who are armed by GLOCK. In six events,
I won one bronze, two silver and two gold medals. Yes!
I was a happy shooter—two of those events—Duty
Pistol and Distinguished Semi-Auto earned one silver
and one gold respectively. That G21 is one heck of a
fine gun. Since I’ve owned it, I’ve not had one misfire,
failure to feed or eject. It eats everything that I feed it
and puts them right where I point it. As a matter of fact,
I have a sneaky feeling that my G21 is a whole lot more
accurate than I am.
Your product is a great one. It feels good in my hand;
points naturally; chambers and fires everything I put
into it and is accurate as all get-out. Thanks, GLOCK
folks—a silver and a gold medal are now hanging on
my wall because of your fine product.

ou are the highlight of my shooting life. A couple
of years ago I won a GLOCK at a PPC match on
Vancouver Island, after shooting the Duty Pistol event
with a borrowed G22 that a kind member of the RCMP
loaned to me—the first time I had fired one of your
fine pistols.
You could say that I was impressed. I talked with
your wonderful and accommodating Customer Service
Department who allowed me to exchange the prize

be joining a family. There are things to do all year

This Says It All
hey say a picture is worth a thousand words, so
instead of telling you my opinion of GLOCKs, I’ll
show you a picture of what became of my two Sigs,
Browning HiPower, Kahr, and Mauser M2.
T
I don’t understand why every army in the world isn’t
equipped with GLOCKs.
They may not be pretty—neither is the Jeep or
Humvee—but, they take a licking and keep on ticking,
as that old commercial said.
I’ve never won anything, but please enter me in your
next drawing for another GLOCK pistol.
on a reduced B-27 target. I would also like to note that
one of our biggest opponents, the State Police, and the
MDNR, who employ great shooters, did not place in the
top three with their new Sig Arms .40. I would also like
you to know that my fellow officer who had a score of
274 had the second highest overall score. Also, it bears
mention that we all backed up our team competition
with good scores in the Open class.
Although these scores were not with GLOCK pistols
(because you could use any gun), there is no reason to
believe that the same scores could not be achieved
with the GLOCK. In the Open I took honors with a
284-9X. One of my fellow officers backed me up in
second place with a 283-5X, and the other finished in
5th place overall with a 279. All in all, it was a good
day, and it was very rewarding to place so well
against the best law enforcement shooters across the
Upper Peninsula. I wanted you to know how admirably
the GLOCK performed. I also wanted you to know that
we have so much confidence in the GLOCK guns
that we also carry them personally for protection, not
just for work.

Winning with GLOCK
nclosed please find a photo of my teammates and
me after the annual Michigan Upper Peninsula
Law Enforcement Shoot. It was held on Thursday,
June 20, 2002. This shoot is the championship for law
enforcement officers in the U.P. every year, and attracts
officers from across the U.P. ranging from small police
departments to large ones such as the Michigan State
Police, Department of Natural Resources, and our
Michigan Department of Corrections. Our team—
MDOC-Alger Maximum Security Correctional Facility,
took the team honors this year. We converted from the
S&W Model 15 .38 Special to the G22 .40 early last year.
This particular competition requires that you use your
duty weapon. We were able to take this competition with
our “out of the box” 8lb trigger G22s. We also posted
respectable scores to do so. The team consisted of two
of my fellow officers (scores were 262 and 274), and me
(251). Our team total was 787, and we beat our nearest
competitor by 19 points. All shooting is done at 20 yards

We are now beginning to prepare for the State
Championships, commonly referred to as the “Governor’s
Cup.” This is for all law enforcement personnel statewide.
It is a different format—bullseye all at 25 yards. There is a
strong marketing atmosphere at the competition as Smith
and Wesson awards several guns to winners, and there are
many dealers there selling guns and accessories. Shooting
the G22 is not really feasible at this championship
competition because there are no “duty” requirements, so
most shooters use either their 1911s or Model 52 Smith
for bullseye. As I said previously, we all personally own
GLOCKs. Together we own two G22s, two G23s, and one
G27. We have the utmost confidence in the guns.

In the GLOCK Annuals I have read about GSSF, and
I wondered if I could join GSSF here in the Netherlands
too? So I started writing. Great was my surprise when
you sent me the membership card, the GLOCK Report
and the GSSF hat. The boys and girls of our gun club
will be jealous now.
I look forward to the next GLOCK Report and I
proudly promote my GLOCKs here in the Netherlands!
Lots of Greetings, from a happy Dutch GLOCKer.

Something Borrowed,

Something GLOCK???
y husband and I are avid GLOCK shooters. We
always go to our local GLOCK shoot and we
have even travelled to Florida for one.
When I first met my husband I already knew GLOCK
was the gun for me. My husband didn’t care for them at
first. After my first GLOCK purchase he tried it and
loved it. He bought one after another and couldn’t get
enough of them.
When it came time for our wedding, I bought him
the 10th Anniversary Commemorative pistol. He was
thrilled that I bought him a wedding gift like that. Since
we love our GLOCKs so much, I thought it would be
fitting to surprise my husband and our guests with a
G27 hidden in my garter. What a surprise it was!

Like GLOCKwork
ost of my military career I carried the 1911 45
caliber as my sidearm. The 45 has and always
will be my favorite handgun. My first impression of the
GLOCK was that it looked like a toy gun. Still not trusting
a gun without a side safety or hammer, I bought many
handguns and fired many different ones.
One day a friend and I went to a range to shoot with
his G22 and my Sig. After the first volley we traded guns
just to see the difference in shooting. To my amazement
his was much lighter and fit my hand quite well.
Like a Swiss watch, the GLOCK is a well-made, easy to
handle, easy to clean handgun. I recently purchased a G21
which I am well pleased with, so much so that I would
recommend a GLOCK to anyone for an all-purpose handgun.

Greetings
from the Netherlands
n the Netherlands, it is not as easy to get a firearm
permit as in the USA. So if you get a permit you
want to have a gun that is one of the best that is available. After some testing I found GLOCK is very good
for me. The more I shoot the gun, the more I like it.
Now I have won a G17 and a G21.

GLOCK— An Eye-Opener
n the mid-1980s I was the senior firearms instructor
for the Louisville Division of Police. I was introduced
to the GLOCK pistol for law enforcement by Mr. Gary
Wade of GLOCK. I told him that I did not feel the GLOCK
was suitable for law enforcement because it had no
external safety. Gary stated “This is a pure combat
handgun.” Boy, was he right. I started shooting GLOCKs
even before my agency started using them. I am a GSSF
member and I enjoy the GLOCK matches along with
shooting IPSC. As you can tell by the picture of my
personal GLOCK cabinet I am sold on the GLOCK pistol.
“First they fired us, then they hired us.”

I am humbled by the performance of the G19 and
recommend it to other shooters on the range. Thanks
again, Gaston, for GLOCK perfection and a great little 9mm.

We Love Our GLOCKs
am enclosing a photograph that shows the GLOCKs
that I, my boyfriend and his brother have collected
over the past three months. I purchased the G19 last
winter for personal protection, but sport shooting has
turned out to be a very fun hobby for all three of us. We
have four GLOCKs among us, including my original
G19, a G17, and two G34s. We are constantly trying to
decide which model we want next. We go out shooting
with our GLOCKs weekly — that has completely
replaced the past hobby of trap shooting for the guys.
I recently received my GSSF membership packet and
am so pleased with all of the information that came with it.

G19— A Great Teacher
fter serving in Viet Nam, I promised myself I
would never fire a weapon again unless out of
necessity. For 33 years I kept my promise until 9/11/01.
At that point, I made a visit to my local gun shop and
bought a new G19. I was now visiting my local range a
few times a week, with a pistol that in time would
teach me how to shoot. With over 20,000 rounds of
flawless effort, I can now fire 50 rounds at 13 yards and
get a nice group.

(Continued from page 1)
“I thought if I was going to carry a gun, I ought to be
going to the range and making sure I knew how to use
it,” he said.
“I remember when I used to go to the range and take
a single bag,” he said ruefully. “Now I have to take a
truckload.”
World Shoot XIII was held outside Johannesburg in
the town of Pietersburg. The match consisted of 35 stages
of fire, spread over more than a week of shooting. The
stages included everything from arm’s length and fast to
long shots requiring precision accuracy. There was also a
100-yard field course, essentially a hundred-yard dash
with lots of targets. “You don’t see that in the U.S.,”
Sevigny said. “Thankfully.”
“We started early and shot late,” Sevigny told me.
“This was by far the hardest match I’ve ever shot.”
That sentiment was echoed by Sharon Zaffiro, who, in
essence, “found her mojo” on the plains of Africa.
Sharon Zaffiro dominated the women’s side of the
practical shooting sports throughout the 1990s.
Whether it was USPSA Open or Limited (World and
years of pushing a 1911 Colt racegun, Sharon found
herself with one of Mr. GLOCK’s plastic marvels. And she
began to get the urge to start competing again.
Unfortunately, her job as Range Program Administrator
for GLOCK, Inc. involves a lot of travel, which is never good
for establishing that so-necessary practice routine.
“You don’t want to know how much I ‘practiced’ this
year,” she said. “If you want to call it practice.”
With only three matches under her belt prior to the
World Shoot, she resolved herself to making a serious
effort in Africa.
“I believe it’s like riding a bicycle,” she said. “You never
forget how to do it, you just have to work on finesse.”
Shooting a stock GLOCK 17 9x19 from a Safariland
competition holster, she smoked through the 35 stages.
“The stages were great,” she said. “I really got into
them, and I really enjoyed the shooting.”
The third G17 was in the hands of yet another
veteran, Debbie Keehart-Ross, who had not been
having a great year. Keehart went to Africa too with the
specific goal of ending her season on a positive note.
She did that in spades, capturing the Production Gun
title for women. Production guns are held to an even
higher standard of “stock” than Standard, and once
again, the G17 in the hands of a master performed.
“We absolutely want to congratulate our three World
Champions,” said Chris Edwards, founder of the GLOCK
Shooting Sports Foundation and the company’s competition coordinator. “At this match, you saw every gun
you’re likely to encounter…Berettas, CZs, Tangfolios,
H&Ks…from around the world, and we came out on
top in really hard fought races.”
Of course, Edwards added, GLOCK never had any doubts
about the G17. “It’s an oldie,” he said, “but a goodie.”

National championships), the multiplicity of The
Masters, the accuracy challenges of the Bianchi Cup or
such diverse matches like the Sportsmen Team
Challenge or the Three-Gun Championships, Zaffiro
was at the top.
Then a whole series of events conspired to take her
out of the winners circle and out of sight. One major
event was the deflation of Colt Firearms, her longtime
sponsor. With Colt no longer in the running, Zaffiro found
herself in the same position as a NASCAR driver who’d
lost “the ride.” A couple of years ago, Zaffiro made a
career change and began working for GLOCK. After
