The match included the same three events as 2006 GSSF Glock Match Tucson, AZ. The first was Glock the Plates. This is a more difficult one than you might think. Knock down all the plates as fast as you can. I did the worst at this stage. I'm glad rows of metal plates don't attack me very often
|
|
|
Next is the 5 to Glock stage. Five targets at various distances, you need to put two rounds into each target as fast as you can.
|
|
|
The targets are perforated cardboard so you need to aim well to get a bulls eye on these at any distance
|
|
|
The Glock the M stage is four paper targets and three popper style metal targets. Shooters will shoot this stage three times (three strings). Shoot two rounds into each paper target, and knock down one popper each string.
|
|
|
The popper style steel reactive target is designed to fall down when it's hit. I've seen these get hit multiple times with a 9mm before falling. just one .40 S&W or .45 ACP will do the trick however

The Glock Armorer was there again to help diagnose any troubles. I had two issues this year. One was I failed to check if my Glock 27 had one in the chamber during one string, which cost me some time I suppose. And I noticed one of my magazines is starting to fail. The plastic around the lip is being cut. UI think it might be from inserting that Glock 22 mag into the smaller Glock 23 and Glock 27. I'll look into that. So I didn't need his services this year. see last years review.. now I use only glock factory magazines.

The people in yellow Glock shirts are the volunteers. Very nice and helpful people who took care of running the ranges, calling the commands and running timers, recording scores and even taping targets. I think they are all volunteers, I didn't ask

The Pima Pistol Club was the location for the 2007 GSSF Glock Pistol Match. They were here last year also and the turnout seemed just as large this year. Shooters come in from all over Arizona as this is the only GSSF event in Arizona each year. Shooters could fill out their forms at the table behind the first shooting bay. And once filed out pay and get their stickers in the office between the first two shooting bays. Shooters would use stickers to label their score cards, shoot the stage, and get a copy of their score cards to keep

This year I shot three glocks, The Glock 23, the Glock 35 and the Glock 27 all in .40 S&W they are standard glocks with no modifications. I brought along enough magazines to ensure I wouldn't need to reload during a stage
|
|
|
The Glock 35 is the long version of the Glock in .40 S&W. It's controls are larger and extended compared to the standard Glock parts. The Glock 27 is the sub compact frame Glock in .40 S&W It might be obvious but shooting these two is like night and day, they are very similar in many ways, but they shoot quite differently
|
|
|
The Glock 23 (in .40 S&W) may be the best gun of all time. Shoot one and let me know what you think. I shot the best with it, although I shoot it quite often.
|
|
|
I didn't score well, my shots were far enough away from the center to get time penalties. This was one of my worst targets. I missed a bunch of plates and a few shots off the paper target with the little Glock 27. I didn't get a chance to evaluate all my shots they were scored and tapped up pretty quick
