About the GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation

The GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) is the competitive shooting organization created by GLOCK in 1991 to encourage people to get involved in the shooting sports while promoting the safe, responsible use of firearms. Based at GLOCK’s U.S. headquarters in Smyrna, Georgia, GSSF runs outdoor matches across the country along with an Indoor League hosted at local ranges. Matches are built for ordinary pistol owners: a shooter needs a GLOCK pistol, at least two magazines and about 100 rounds, and every match offers free armorer service. Competitors are grouped into Amateur, Master and Guardian divisions, the last for military, law enforcement and public safety personnel, and division winners typically take home a new GLOCK pistol.

Membership is open to the public and includes access to the GLOCK Armorer’s Course. By its 25th anniversary in 2016, GSSF counted more than 120,000 members, over 200,000 match entries and more than 700 outdoor events, with 55 outdoor matches and over 500 Indoor League matches planned that year. In October 2014 it held its first official match outside North America, in Montevideo, Uruguay. For new competitors, GSSF remains one of the most approachable entry points into pistol competition.
