from champion shooters like David Sevigny, Julie Goloski (now Julie
Golob), GSSF whiz Bobby Carver (of Carver Mounts), engineer Mark
Passamaneck, GSSF National Match Champion Dale Rhea, top female

grand old man of competition shooting with the Glock, the
incomparable Armando Valdes.
Compiled by our own Robin Taylor (Gungames
Magazine, Front Sight, Fishing & Hunting News), The Glock in
Competition "cherry-picks" the experiences of America's finest shooters to
create a soup-to-nuts how-to book for the new competitor and anyone else
who's serious about Glocks.
The chapter on why Glocks blow up when
fed too many lead bullets is worth the cover price. Lawyers wishing to sue
Glock, Inc. retained engineer Mark Passamaneck to explore the issues the
particulars of this odd phenomena. Sure enough, Glock's warnings to not
use lead in their barrels are well-founded. Mark (in a controlled
experiment) shot Glocks with lead bullets until they blew.
Law
enforcement, defensive, and casual users will all find invaluable pieces
of information on curing jams, tuning the gun, and fixing the Achilles'
heels of the Glock before they bite.
Action photography shows examples of how
you can accidentally shear off your front sight, why you should never
sacrifice reliability for "performance," and other real-world issues.
