GSSF Related: What is the most typical model seen?

[chokeu2]

I did a search for this, but did not see anything related; so please forgive if I missed a thread.

Historically, I'm a 1911 guy, and have owned Glocks over the years; but never really picked them up much.

For some reason, recently, I really have taken a shine to this seminal piece of combat tupperware. It could have been because I shot my friends Gen 4 G19SF; and drilled some very tight groups after not having shot in about 4 months. Dunno, but does it really matter? It felt good.

With all of that said, is there a particular model Glock that shows up most often at GSSF events?

The reason that I ask is because I do intend to have a healthy sized pitcher of Glock cool-aid; and also have a little fun at the GSSF events held so frequently as my oh so righteous range.

I also ask because if there is a model that shows up most often, there must be a practical application reason for it.

Final question: Are G34's allowed at GSSF events? I've seen a few posts that seem to intimate that they are not. And I do like that model.

I would guess the most common is the G17. You can use it in every category except Am Sub and Heavy Metal.

As far as Am Sub goes I would say the G26 is the most popular.

If you want just one that can be used in every category it's the G30.

As far as the G34 goes, it is legal. It can be used in Unlimited and as far as I know Competition also.

I've been shooting GSSF now for about 7 years, indoor and outdoor. I really like it. Good fun and you get to meet some great people too.

Thanks for the response sigma.

You told me exactly what I wanted to know; and you even hit on a motivating factor that caused me to get curious in GSSF in the first place. the people. There was just a great group, seemingly having a ton of fun, at the range the other day when my buddy and I were there.

A far cry from a different group, from a different organization who seemed to take itself a bit too seriously.

Thanks again.

Which one? Inquiring minds want to know! I'm guessing you mean either IDPA or USPSA.

Not trying to start a flame war - just saying that if you leave it open "without naming any names" the offending group doesn't have any feedback on which to notice that they may be turning away new shooters, and the non-offending group is left wondering if you were really referring to them.

As long as its constructive criticism there really is nothing to be gained by leaving out the name of the offending group or company.
