Gunsite Glock Service Pistol Debuts

In an unprecedented move, Gunsite Academy has teamed up with firearms manufacturer GLOCK Inc., firearms distributor Davidson’s Gallery of Guns, and Holosun Technology) to produce the new Gunsite Glock Service Pistol (GGSP). After months of design and testing the GGSP is a 9mm Glock 45 model with these specific modifications: Ameriglo Suppressor Sights, FBI Mag Release (a bit larger than the standard release with rounded edges), Lanyard Loop in the tradition of the original Gunsite Service Pistol, and a minus connector for better trigger press. In addition, the GGSP features a Holosun 509T reflex optical sight directly mounted to the slide, an API (American Pistol Institute) serial number, Raven & Gunsite logo (“Bird and the Word”) on the slide, and a retro Raven Back Plate (available only through the Gunsite Pro Shop).

“Gunsite continues to evolve as Jeff Cooper envisioned it, and that means both training and equipment have evolved,” says Gunsite CEO Ken Campbell. “As with the original Gunsite Service Pistol (GSP), the Gunsite Glock Service Pistol (GGSP) is a robust, reliable, and affordable fighting person’s pistol.”  

Gunsite Academy owner Owen “Buz” Mills agrees with this assessment.  “Glock is the right design, at the right time, with the right price,” he says.

According to GLOCK national sales manager Bob Radecki, GLOCK was an eager participant in this project. “GLOCK is very pleased to collaborate with Gunsite and Davidson’s to provide the Gunsite GLOCK Service Pistol to meet the needs of those that prefer an optic-equipped, high-capacity, striker-fired pistol,” he said. “Gunsite, GLOCK, and Davidson’s are leaders in their fields of endeavor, and the features chosen for this pistol reflect that leadership and insight.” 

The GGSP will be sold exclusively through Davidson’s Gallery of Guns and the Gunsite Academy Pro Shop, SRP: $1,274.99. The new gun is available now.

The original ‘American Pistol Institute’ (API), now known as Gunsite Academy, offers firearms training in multiple levels of instruction in handgun, carbine, shotgun, bolt-action rifle, and precision rifle. Founded in 1976 by Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper, Gunsite Academy goes beyond the shooting fundamentals, teaching the principles of gun-handling and mind-set.
