Dave Sevigny at Glock No More!

This is straight from his FB page:

"Hello All. I wanted to inform you that I am no longer representing Glock. I plan to continue competing and to promote competition shooting. Thank you all for your support!"

All I can say is WOW! 

It would not surprise me to see him wind up at SA....As most of you know he won the Single Stack Classic, which Michael failed to cover  , and he was shooting a custom SA 1911. I guess Gaston did not want to give him a raise so he decided to take his talent down the street...

My vote for why he's no longer with Glock.

More like this is the reason.   Glock is......uh,  frugal.            So I've heard around town.

Not saying I'd turn down something over there.  But you're not going to get rich.

Why shouldn't they be? Its not like this is NASCAR or the NFL. There's always going to be some hot young talent who is just thrilled to get paid to shoot. Hell, most of us would do it if they'd pay expenses, travel, ammo and equipment. There really is only so much you can ask for before you are underbid. Unless of course, you are Jessie Abbate. Then, you might possibly have a slightly stronger bargaining position. I expect she names her own price and the sponsors sign the checks.

I'd also imagine that Glock has a rather restrictive contract as well.  If you work for them, I'm wondering if they let you compete with anything other than Glock?   Would rule out Cowboy shooting, maybe even trap and skeet.   If you're with Ruger you have a full range of guns available to shoot.

I'm never going to win a minor tournament, much less a major one, so my hope is to work part time for GSSF or another manufacturer primarily as a trade show representative.   I've actually sent a brief resume to one company offering to work part time at trade shows and events.   As soon as I get my Distinguish Marksman using a .44mag and my NRA pistol Instructor, then I may pursue this dream more earnestly.

I've jumped MB about lack of coverage of many of these events.  He explained the pain of dealing with some other media type that are always there.  I have dealt with the same clowns, and I don't blame him for not wanting to be in the same "kitchen" with them.

Given the two reasons listed by non-authorities to this point I would go with the cash.  Glock does not offer a single stack gun qualifying gun that I am aware of, so using brand SA wouldn't cost him his job.  And while I have noooooooooooooooooo problem hanging around Jessie, Robbie can be a barrel of monkeys at the party all by himself    My chance to meet and spend time with Phil Strader was interrupted by a walking party, or as Phil called him "a 250# kindergartner."

Imagine if you will...  A tenifer coated single action .45 Colt with Glock's threading in a 4.5" barrel and modern sights.  Ewwwwww, I WANT ONE!!!  

OR, or a tenifer coated, titanium, .44mag., SP101 with glock threading in the barrel and a thumb rest grip!  PUT ME DOWN FOR TWO!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is "Glock Threading"?

Are you referring to polygonal rifling? (Hint: Glock wasn't the first)

[Badgersmilk]

Actually pardon MY ignorance!  I honestly have no idea what proper terminology is for it.  It looks different than anything I've seen before.  But has proven exceptionally effective.  Accurate, Shoots clean, and what little fouling might accumulate is SUPER easy to remove.  I like it!     Under any name.

I love cleaning my Glock, too.  So fast, so easy.
