“The G36 is incredibly controllable, even given its small size,” said Chris Edwards,
GLOCK’s Director of Training. “It’s notably accurate and should be especially easy to
conceal under any condition.” Edwards went on to remark that the gun has the inherent

Designed with a barrel length of 3.78 inches, an overall length of 6.77 inches and an
overall height (including magazine) of 4.76 inches, the G36 is identical in profile to the

 Match and Awards Policy Changes
Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen here at the beginning
of our season an unprecedented expansion of the number
of competitor entries at GSSF matches. As some of you
are aware, this has caused some waiting and we would
like to attempt to alleviate some of that so GSSF is as
much fun as it can be. The following policy therefore will
immediately go into effect:
COMPETITOR ENTRIES AND SCORESHEET HANDLING POLICY:
In an effort to be as fair as possible to all competitors,
and to increase efficiency at GSSF matches, competitors
entering in more than two classes, (e.g., Amateur Civilian,
Subcompact, Unlimited and Competition) will be required
to compete with only two classes of GLOCKS per call to the
firing position. In other words, only two sets of scoresheets
FAMILY
page Two
© GLOCK, 1999
will be accepted by the Range Officer in the interest of
fairness and efficiency. If a competitor wishes to compete
in more than two classes, they are welcome to do so, but a
competitor should complete only two “passes” at any one
stage at one time. The Rangemaster will be responsible for
any decisions regarding exceptions to this policy.
CLARIFICATION OF “JUNIOR” CATAGORY AWARDS
In order that there is no misunderstanding or unfortunate
consequences for a Junior competitor who finishes first in
any class where a GLOCK is awarded in GSSF matches,
Junior competitors will receive a $250 Savings Bond should
they place first in the general prize schedule in any class.
GSSF thanks you in advance for your support, under-
standing and cooperation in these areas. Safe shooting!

Pistol Giveaway Winner
At Home in GSSF
completed my second GSSF match in Anderson,
I South Carolina this past year. I had only shot a few
times before the match, and was not sure what to
expect. I was very nervous. When my friend and I
showed up, there were a lot of men and very few
women or young girls. I just knew I was going to
embarrass myself, but my friend assured me that
everything would be all right. When I shot the first
stage the Range Officer was very friendly and helpful.
He went out of his way to make a nervous girl feel right
at home.
I found the plates to be my greatest challenge, and
literally beat myself up mentally before this particular
stage. However, I found the GSSF staff to be encourag-
ing and helpful. They were supportive and gave me the
confidence I needed to keep going. In addition, had it
not been for my friend patiently working countless
hours with me. I would never have known how much
fun the GSSF matches are.
Thank you, GLOCK, for sponsoring such enjoyable
and encouraging events in which anyone can partici-
pate.

Neighborly Rivalry
n September, 1998, the first annual police department
I competition match between bordering towns
Bedford and Lexington, Massachusetts was held. Both
departments are armed with GLOCK .40 caliber safe-
action pistols. The officers shot at both paper targets and
metal plates.
When the results were tallied at the conclusion of the
match, the Lexington Police Department was declared
the winner. The Lewis System was used to allow every-
one a chance of winning. Through the generosity of a
Waltham, MA company, prizes were given to each team
and the winning department was awarded a team trophy.
After the match a cookout was held—these matches
were begun to give members of the neighboring depart-
ments the opportunity to get to know one another.
Enclosed please find a photograph of the match
officers. Armorers for both agencies are GLOCK
armorer school graduates.
We are looking forward to our next match, scheduled
for June, 1999.

Better Informed
ravo! The GSSF 1999 Reference Edition may be
B the best GLOCK Report yet. The increased detail
about how the stages and matches should be run will
make GSSF events run more smoothly and quickly for
everyone. I know I received conflicting advice on
stages last year while at the same event. As long as
folks read the published stage directions, there should
be no more confusion.
I know it takes an extra effort to be this thorough,
but I’m sure it will make events more consistently and
universally fun. Now, if only there were a way to get
the results the same day…
Thanks for putting on a great event!

have constructed a range in the woods behind my house D. R.

on which I have accurately reproduced the 5-7-9 and Texas
GLOCK the Plates stages. I simply photocopied 8'' black
circles to use as the targets—since that is the 10 ring
size, if I hit the black I am shooting a perfect score.
Anyway, I have been practicing all winter, snowshoe-
ing the half mile out to the range almost every day to
shoot one string of each stage. Many times, the
temperatures were well below freezing, and sometimes
below zero. When I came inside, my G17L would become
compltely wet with condensation. In all those sessions it
never failed to work flawlessly, although I can’t say the
same for my often frozen hands and timer! Further, no
harm to my GLOCK has ever resulted from the radical
temperature changes and soaking condensation. In addi-
tion to the range practices, I dry fire indoors 200 times
daily, and not once have I had a problem with the gun
I have to say that I am saddened to hear that you have
dropped the G17L from your product line. I am glad I
have one, and would buy another in a second if the
opportunity presented itself.
I look forward to putting all this off-season training to
the test at the Topton, Pennsylvania GSSF match. Now if I
can only shoot my practice times under match pressure…

Hooked On GSSF
nclosed please find my registration form and fee
E for the match in Carrollton, Texas. I joined GSSF
too late last year to make that match, but I did manage
to get to San Antonio in December for my first-ever
GSSF competition. What fun! Due to a slight case of
nerves, I finished 92 out of 102 in the Amateur Civilian
class. Now that I have done it and understand how it
works, I hope to do better on my next try. I’ve got a lot
of room for improvement.
I have read several letters in the GLOCK Report
about how friendly and helpful everyone, staff and vol-
unteer alike, is at the GSSF events, and the writers
weren’t kidding. The case of nerves I spoke of above
would have been worse had it not been for the help and
interest the Range Officers running the match showed
to me and the other participants.
Now that I’ve done this once and seen what fun it is,
I’m hooked. I would encourage everyone who, like me
for awhile, just reads the results in the GLOCK Report
and thinks they would be in over their head or
My Baby and Me
his 10-shot imprint of my “Baby 26,” shot standing
T double-handed at 10 yards convinced me to join
my first-ever handgun competition—the GSSF/ISI
Ballistic Challenge held last October in Piru, California.
Not surprisingly, I showed my inexperience in one of
the stages—the GLOCK “M,” where I failed to fully seat
my magazine after chambering one round from a strip-
per. Needless to say, “we” did not win anything, but
“we” had so much fun that it was well worth the trip.
With the new Amateur Subcompact category in
“our” sights, expect to see “us,” my baby and me, in this
year’s match. After a year together, “we” hope to do
much better this time. Thank you, and more power to
your great organization.

 try my best to compete in the Desert Showdown in

takes me out of town over the weekend. Last year I
even prepaid and still had to miss it at the last minute!
I purchased my factory remanufactured G17 in 1995
here in Phoenix, Arizona. I promptly went through my
concealed carry course training—I’m happy to report
that I haven’t had to shoot my pistol for anything other
than pleasure in the last four years.
I’m enclosing a newspaper article about a local

Appreciates GSSF
irst, let me say that I thoroughly enjoy shooting in
F GSSF competition. I have attended matches in
Indianapolis and Lexington, and found your staff and
the hosts to have the impeccable manners to go along
with their impeccable safety records. In addition to the
GLOCK matches, I also shoot in the IDPA using a stock
G19 with factory sights. I was able to place second in
the sharpshooter division in the Illinois state finals.
Much of that is due to the reliability and shootability of
your pistol.
I am looking forward to this summer, when I hope to
have the opportunity to participate in several GSSF
matches.

Beware of
THE GLOCK VIRUS!
wo friends of mine and I shoot in local combat,
T PPC and bowling pin matches. We also have
concealed carry permits. At first, we weren’t interested
TM
The GLOCK Report / Volume II, 1999 © GLOCK, 1999
in what we called “plastic guns.” We had no idea we
would soon be infected with THE GLOCK VIRUS!
I was the first to become infected after shooting the
Range Officer’s G23 at a local combat competition. I
liked the feel, reliability and accuracy of the GLOCK. I
now own a G19, G20 and G24C, and shot in the GSSF
Bluegrass Regional Classic last year.
It wasn’t long before my shooting buddies caught
the virus from me! One now owns a G21 and G26, and
is going to buy a G19 shortly. The other owns a G17 and
G24C, and says his next gun purchase will be a G26.
You never know when or where THE GLOCK
VIRUS will strike! By the way…if you’re reading this,
you’re probably already infected!!!

Match Box
henever I’m at a GLOCK match, I receive
W positve comments on my “GSSF Match Box.” I
thought I’d send you this letter and a photo. There may
be others doing this, but I have not seen any like mine
during the past three years.
It provides a comfortable seat wherever I am, and
has room enough inside to carry ammo, magazines,
sunscreen, First Aid kit, snacks, towels, etc.
With carriage bolts, I attached two lengths of PVC
pipe to the underside. These serve as water bottle car-
riers. I just freeze the bottles overnight before a match.
The box itself shades the bottles, keeping them from
melting too quickly. This provides ice water all day.
It’s another Pistol People idea worth sharing.

Welcome to Colorado
received Volume I, 1999, of the GLOCK Report
I today. I enjoy it very much, had hope you will give
some thought to putting it out monthly, or even
bi-monthly.
The letter “I Sold My GLOCK!” struck a chord with
me, as I have had other semi-autos that would not fire
an entire box of shells without a jam, or hold up to
repeated firing on the range. I believe in Masaad
Ayoob’s recommendation that you not trust a pistol
until you can fire 200 rounds through it without a
misfire of any kind.
I am happy to say that I have now put over 600
rounds through my G22 without one failure! And this is
with many different brands and styles of bullets. I think
next on my list will be the G30. I have read many glow-
ing reports of this pistol, and I can’t wait to try one.
I was surprised and pleased to see that the Rocky
Mountain Regional Classic V will be held here in

Colorado. My wife and I expect to attend and extend a
welcome to all of you who can be here.
To those of you who can attend, please pay close
attention to the map printed on page 25 of Volume I of
the GLOCK Report, because at the top of the map it
gives an address of Weld County Fish & Wildlife Range,
Fort Collins, CO. However, Fort Collins is in Larimer
County, and the Weld County F&W Range is actually in
Weld County, and a good 30-35 miles east of Fort
Collins (the instructions on the map itself are correct).
The closest motels for those of you who plan to attend
are in Greeley, about 10 miles from the range. For
those of you who wish to stay in Fort Collins, there are
also many fine motels, and you will be only 30-35 miles
away.
If any of you is able to spend a few days in our
lovely state, you may wish to contact the Greeley
Chamber of Commerce, 902 7th Avenue, Greeley, CO
80631, (970) 352-3566, for information on area
attractions and names of motels. The address for the
Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce is: 225 S. Meldrum,
Fort Collins, CO 80521, (970) 482-3746.

Kudos to the GSSF Folks
his is a short note of thanks for the jobs the
T people of GSSF are doing for its members. I
participated in my first GSSF match in April, 1993 in
Southern California. Since then, I have been able to
attend seven matches and have always had a positive
experience. This due in no small part to the staff and
volunteers of GSSF.
First, let me thank the volunteers who run the
stations. These folks are always friendly and helpful. If
you take heed of the shooting tips they offer, any of
you shooters can improve your performance.
Second, the armorers are a GLOCK owner’s best
friend. I always see them before I shoot a match. If
parts are worn out, they replace them. If upgrades have
been recommended, they install them. If your firearm
is dirty, they clean it. If you need cleaning, lubrication
or GLOCK care advice, you will get what you need with
a smile.
Lastly, thanks to the staff for putting on these
events. A second place finish in class B in 1994 paid my
entry fees for my next five GSSF matches.

A Moving Experience
t is with deepest gratitude that I am writing this letter
I to you today. I have owned four GLOCK pistols, and
have competed in two GSSF matches in the past three
years. While attending Desert Showdown VII in Mesa,
Arizona, I had a unique and very special experience.
The day before the match, there had been an officer-
involved shooting in which a SWAT officer from a
neighboring city was killed. When I heard the story I
was saddened by the event. The following day at the
match, I discovered that the Range Officer on the
fungun stage was a SWAT officer who had been on the
entry team right behind the officer who was killed. As
I loaded magazines and prepared for the stage, I had
the privilege of hearing this officer recount the events
of the previous day. In those few minutes the story
became much more personal. He described seeing the
officer go down and trying to grab his flak vest to pull
TM
The GLOCK Report / Volume II, 1999
him back. As he did so, he saw a young girl hiding
behind the sofa, crying. Thinking of his own small
daughter, he wrapped his arms around the child and
sprinted for safety, fully expecting to be the gunman’s
next victim. Thankfully, the shots he expected never
came. The suspect was killed in the ensuing gun battle
and no one else was injured.
Not one of the reports on TV and in the newspapers
has been able to affect me as profoundly as the Range
Officer did that day. This experience has made the dan-
ger faced and courage displayed by law enforcement
personnel more of a reality to me than any reporter’s
words could ever do. Thanks to GSSF, I was given
something that the rest of the public missed out on.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to interact
with these officers in such a personal setting. Both the
staff and the competitors are some of the greatest
folks around. If more people were able to hear what I
heard, there might be less annoyance with a traffic
ticket and more appreciation for a dangerous job being
very well done.
As far as my GLOCKs go, I have sold my three
previous pistols to close friends who are shooting
companions. So far I have been unable to get them to
come to a match with me, but there is always next year!

hat a match! Just got back from my first GSSF
W match in Carrollton, TX and had a blast! Not
knowing what to expect at this first match, I was a
little apprehensive about driving the considerable
distance to the match. However, after this experience,
I am already making plans for future GSSF matches,
regardless of the distance involved.
I was very impressed with the range, GSSF staff and
number of competitors. The various courses were
both challenging and fun to shoot. The format of the
match resulted in minimal waiting between courses of
fire, and the staff was extremely helpful with each
competitor.
Once again, GLOCK has outdone itself with GSSF—
a unique and fun addition to the shooting sports! I can’t
wait for the next match.

 Welcome to the Era of
Regulation
through Litigation
A s you have no doubt read or heard by
now, approximately 20 cities and
counties have filed suit against the firearm
industry. Following the lead of the largest
dealer in used guns in all of Louisiana,
Mayor Mark Morial of New Orleans, the
mayors and county executives have
allowed themselves to become blinded by
dollar signs. They have been convinced
that these dollars await them at the end
of the litigation rainbow by big tobacco
attorneys who have taken their Sue-the-
Gunmakers travelling road show across
the country. In the past, this sort of begging
for clients was known as champery and
was an ethical offense for lawyers.
However, aided by the attorneys for the
Center to Prevent Handgun Violence,
formerly the Coalition to Ban Handguns,
they have unabashedly solicited clients in
most any city that has not been able to
address its financial and crime problems.
These city executives who have obviously
stretched their meager imaginations and
budgets to the max have thrown up their
collective hands and abdicated their cities
to criminals.
No, I do not believe that is too harsh a
characterization of what these politicians
are attempting to do. In effect, they are
absolving criminals of their actions and are
looking for a scapegoat. And, since there
are lawyers involved, they are looking for a
scapegoat with deep pockets.
Are the city and county executives look-
ing for money? You bet they are. Just fresh
from feeding at the trough of free tobacco
money, they cannot begin to control their
greed. However, there is another equally
page Ten
© GLOCK, 1999
compelling motivation for these mayors.
To a man and woman, they have been anti-
gun, anti-second amendment their whole
careers. Those who held seats in their state
legislatures before becoming mayors of the
particular cities in suit were always in
favor of new gun control laws. Others, like
Mayor Daley of Chicago and Mayor Ganim
of Bridgeport, practically froth at the
mouth when they speak on the subject. The
hate they harbor for an inanimate object
borders on the irrational. And, typical of
left-leaning politicians, they direct all their
venom at the inanimate object and absolve
the criminals. They no doubt feel that the
fault lies with society—we have somehow
failed these criminals, and therefore we
cannot hold them directly responsible.
And, woe is me, we cannot put them in jail
because the jails are too crowded and,
after all, it is not the criminal’s fault.
There are many difficult decisions that
must be made when crafting a workable
criminal justice system. Unfortunately for
us, it is crafted and voted upon by politi-
cians. And we know we can always count
on that particular breed to make all the
easy decisions. Such as suing the manufac-
turers of a product that is unpopular with
some constituencies.
