We are bringing you Part Two of the interviews we recorded at the 2009 IDPA Nationals. This episode we feature interviews with four very different female shooters. First we talk to Joyce Wilson, the Executive Director of IDPA. Second we talk to Nikki Pinto a 16 year old high school student, shooting her first national match and she did a great job, remember her name because she’s going to go far. Our third interview is with Randi Rogers of Team Glock (also known as Holy Terror) who we caught a brief interview with between stages. Finally we talk with Cyndi Dalena of the First Shots Program.

How We and Our Industry Look to Outside Eyes
Paul Barrett visited our group twice in the course of putting together his cover story on the rise of the Glock pistol for Business Week magazine. We found him to be that rare reporter who seemed to truly be neutral on the explosive “gun control issue.” He even came with us to a couple of IDPA matches, and “got into the spirit” enough that he shot the second one with us! Used a Glock…and didn’t finish last, either.
Never owning a firearm himself and having fired one only on rare occasions in conjunction with writing assignments on the firearms industry for Wall Street Journal and now, Business Week, he has no ego invested that we can detect on either side of the gun control issue. Thus, he gives us an uncommon perspective: a “non-gun,” “non-gun-politics” person who is knowledgeable about the firearms industry…and striving to learn more.
His impressions after shooting…and his perspectives on the whole, intensely hot firearms debate…make fascinating listening, all the more timely since his current cover story in Business Week is the talk of the industry.

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.
