I want to give GSSF a try. I want to shoot in as many categories as I can using one stock gun. My main Glock is a G38. Would I be better off getting a G17, or something like that, with a higher capacity? I have read the rules, I just am unclear and I would like some real life advice.

Thank you

You may use your G38 but you will need G37 magazines to be able to shoot the stages. You may enter wither your G38 or a G37 in the following categories:

1. Amateur Civilian
2. Amateur Competition
3. Master Stock*
4. Masters/Unlimited*

* You will be shooting against Masters in this category.

You may enter a category only one time.

The G38 is plenty accurate for GSSF. It's what I shoot. Since the stages require you to shoot 10 round strings, the G37 magazines are necessary.

The 3 models that can be used in every GSSF class are the G-29, G-30, and G-39.

Of the three, given ammo availability the best is probably the G-30SF.

The G-17 is probably the most overall competitive in the most popular division, though; Civilian.

"Bring what you got". I would not buy any guns specifically for GSSF until I had shot a few matches and saw what specific divisions I wanted to pursue more than others.

For what it's worth, the most popular divisions in order of average participation are:

Civilian
Competition
Subcompact
Guardian
MasterStock
Unlimited
MajorSub

I use a G17 in Master Stock, Comp., and Gaurdian.
