011 The Glock Pistol and Chris Edwards talks about GSSF

The ProArms Team takes a look at the ubiquitous Glock pistol in all its incarnations. Present for this Discussion are: John, Terri, Mas, Steve, Herman, Mike, Gail and Claudette the Rottweiler. Since its inception the Glock has proven itself to be a very popular pistol in the Military, Law Enforcement and civilian markets.

All the participants have not only “taught and shot” the Glocks extensively, but all have substantial experience carrying them. All likewise have considerable experience shooting matches (and frequently winning) with Glocks in calibers 9mm, .40, .45 ACP, and even .45 GAP. Two have carried them on police duty, and one has been involved in court cases that focused on shootings with Glock pistols.

We also go into the Glock Shooting Sports Foundation (GSSF) matches, and include an exclusive interview with The Man Himself, Chris Edwards, head of GSSF!

If all you know about Glock is what you hear in the movies like this quote from Die Hard 2: “That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me! You know what that is? It’s a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn’t show up on your airport X-ray machines, and it costs more than you make here in a month!” You definitely need to listen to this podcast.

There are lots of links for this episode so I’m just going to list them here:

010 Save the Blue Trail Range; A conversation with Bill Allard

The ProArms podcast is on the road again. This time we visit the Blue Trail Range in Connecticut. The range has been in existence for over 60 years and now they have been under siege by a developer who wants to shut down the range. Gail talks with range owner David Lyman about the problems they have been facing. If you would like to follow what’s happening there or can help them out in any way visit SaveBlueTrailRange.org.

Below is a photo of the Blue Trail Range with the mountain we talk about on the Podcast in the background.

In the second segment Massad and Gail talk to a living legend: Bill Allard. Bill was part of the well known New York City Stake-Out Squad, which was disbanded in the 1970’s. First we talk about the work he is doing now with American Defense Systems, Inc. Then he talks to us about some of his experiences and the mindset needed to survive a gunfight. You can read more about Bill Allard and his late partner in Paul Kirchner’s excellent book, “Jim Cirillo’s Tales of the Stakeout Squad.”
