Hey guys, Johnny Glock here! Today, I want to discuss something that's been on my mind lately. But before we dive into the topic, let me just say that it feels great to be back after a well-deserved vacation. I took some time off to recharge and now I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. Speaking of which, let's start by talking about the Glock Armorer's Course. I want to address some misconceptions and shed light on why it's a course worth considering.

🏝️ Resuming Videos after Vacation

I know some of you might be wondering about the future of Functional Fridays, my popular series. While I can't say for sure if I'll be resuming it, I will definitely be shooting more videos. So, rest assured that there's plenty of content coming your way. But today, let's shift our focus to the Glock Armorer's Course and why it should be on your radar.

✨ Importance of Glock Armorer's Course

The Glock Armorer's Course is often overlooked or dismissed as a basic course. However, it is a fundamental and essential training for anyone who works with Glock firearms. The course covers all the basics, including field stripping, detailed slide assembly and disassembly, and familiarization with the frame. Additionally, participants will learn function tests and safety protocols.

🚫 Misconceptions about the Glock Armorer's Course

Now, let's address a common misconception about the Armorer's Course. Many people believe that it's a simple course that anyone can breeze through. While it's true that Glock pistols are known for their simplicity, the complexity arises when dealing with specific models or encountering unusual issues. For example, try diagnosing problems with a Glock 36 or a pre-EH G19. It requires a deeper understanding and the ability to identify and remedy issues effectively.

📚 Efficiency and Due Diligence

Completing the Glock Armorer's Course is not just a box to check. It's a matter of efficiency and due diligence. When you're working with firearms, especially ones as popular as Glocks, it's essential to have a thorough understanding of their inner workings. This knowledge allows you to offer prompt and accurate assistance to fellow gun enthusiasts or customers. It sets you apart as a reliable expert, ensuring customer satisfaction and safety.

💪 Benefits of the Glock Sports Shooting Foundation

For those of you who are not law enforcement or military personnel, there's still a way to access Glock training. The Glock Sports Shooting Foundation (GSSF) offers membership programs that allow you to participate in various courses. By becoming a member and opting for a three-year membership, you gain access to exclusive coupons, enabling you to purchase Glocks at blue label prices. The GSSF also provides ongoing education and support, bringing you closer to achieving proficiency.

🎓 Advanced Armorer's Class

Once you have gained experience as an armorer in the field for about three years, you can qualify for the Advanced Armorer's Class. This course takes your knowledge and skills to the next level. However, be prepared for a challenging and humbling experience. The class puts your proficiency to the test, requiring you to diagnose and resolve issues with a set of 30 guns within a limited time frame. It demands a high level of understanding and competence in handling various models and their unique characteristics.

🧩 The Importance of Proficiency in Glock Pistols

The Glock Armorer's Course and the Advanced Armorer's Class are not just training exercises; they are critical steps towards proficiency. Working with a wide range of Glock models exposes you to different mechanisms, variations in parts, and features. This firsthand experience gives you the confidence to troubleshoot and address common issues effectively. It is this level of expertise that armorer's, whether professional or hobbyists, should strive for.

✅ Quality Control of Glock Parts

One of the reasons Glock has earned a solid reputation in the firearms industry is its commitment to quality control. This applies not only to complete firearms but also to individual parts. Glock parts undergo rigorous testing and are designed to withstand adverse conditions. That's why even after 35 years, parts like firing pins and connectors remain in excellent condition. The longevity and reliability of these parts are a testament to Glock's dedication to manufacturing durable and dependable firearms.

🛠 Addressing the Parts Issue

Currently, the market is experiencing a parts shortage, making it challenging to source Glock parts. As a result, both customers and manufacturers face uncertainties and may resort to alternative options. However, I want to assure you that my commitment to quality has not wavered. Despite the scarcity, I have been sourcing genuine Glock parts whenever possible, ensuring that my customers receive the best products available. Though it may come at a slightly higher cost, it's a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with owning a Glock built with original components.

🙋‍♂️ Conclusion

In conclusion, I want to express my gratitude to all of you for your continued support. It's your trust and enthusiasm that motivates me to strive for excellence and to constantly improve. Whether you're a Glock owner, an enthusiast, or an armorer, remember that trigger control is control. Stay safe, stay informed, and keep shooting. Until next time!
