Glocks are falling further behind...

[tanks]

in competition use.

Latest Production division survey from USPSA Iron Sight Nations in 2017.

1) 37% CZ
2) 21% Tanfoglio
3) 12% Glock
4) 9% Sig Sauer
5) 6% Springfield
6) 6% Walther

A year earlier Glock was at 25% (http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/us...production.pdf) and Walther was not even on the map. For Sig and Walther the P320 and PPQ are the reasons for the increased preference I think.

In before the first glock fanboy comments!

Funny, I got the same report in my e-mail and was noticing the exact same thing - steel DA/SA are dominating, with CZ/TZ at 65%.

I was actually surprised by how far Glocks have fallen given that many newer shooters prefer "constant pull" and are scared of the initial double action shot.

Your crazy for posting this, This thread is going to break Calguns every Glop fan girl is going to reply to this bringing every excuse in the book.

Glocks have their upsides

Not sure why a striker fired pistol with a polymer frame would be used in competition.


The nature of the striker fired system, competition triggers just don’t work as well as a metal frame


But meh


It’s a tool... any gun




Shooting is all about the person.....


Some folks will buy the same guitar as eddy Van Halen.... but it is the musician that makes the music.


So focus on your shooting skills not the brand of gun

More expensive than the first two

Newer shooters don't go to the Nationals and won't be part of this survey. These are people trying to get the most out of their game and the best way to do that is with a steel hammer fired pistol.

But, but, all you need is a Glock 19.

What are the figures if you exclude California competitors?

No doubt competitors are fed up with:
(A) Fancy-smachie over priced 1911s gunsmith alterations that repeatedly fail.
(B) The krapp trigger systems intrinsic on any polyplastico striker fired pistol.

And while I still have your attention, what is the makeup of the pistols used in the top 10% of the Nations USPSA iron sight competitors?

Last time I shot at an indoor range I noticed there were actually more CZs being shot. The Glocks that we’re on the line were rentals. I was there with a 1911 and a revolver.

In Production for 2017 Nats, looking at the top 10 finishers, a majority are shooting EAA/Tangfolio.

No idea about CA shooters and I don't think the roster comes into play much if at all for serious competition shooters. The ammo, travel and training costs are a lot more for most than firearm costs, so paying off-roster prices for a one time purchase of competition firearms most likely is not an issue.

1911s are NOT allowed in Production division so your comment in regards to those do not apply.

It's not the gun at all. All Glock guns are the same as last years. It's the game and rule to make one gun be more used than the other. If USPSA allow's 22lr or even air pistol with only paper targets, then maybe other brands will win out of these CZ/TZ.

What??

1911s not allowed?? Is this some sort of competition for young boys and beginners?
