Not all are worked over - Every organization has areas where you can, and they have areas where you can not.  His guns are no more and no less modified than the average shooter or competitor could or would do to them.

Bottom line is that shooters move from time to time.  Jerry left DPMS for S&W, Julie G. moved, Jessie A. moved, Tom Knapp moved ... This is a business, and shooters are employees.

From my own experience it tells me something about the company when you see 1 person leave DPMS, 1 person leaves Para, one person leaves another company, but 3 leave Glock.
In the good companies I've worked for you lose one now and then to retirement or better offers. when half the crew go it's a sign that something has gone down hill.

Please note that the "company" that makes the product will be organized with different management and goals than the "company" that runs the shooting team.

I believe that you are looking at S&W coming out with their own AR and bringing their shooters completely under their umbrella; You get people leaving a company for another that offers more opportunity (broader product line) like Glock not having revolvers or  single stacks; you get good recruiting by team managers and other shooters; and then there is Benelli brining in the new young pup and Tom Knapp jumping to Winchester for .

As far as the different management between production and competition - That is true at the grunt level, but every department opperates to benefit the whole, and they all answer to the same board.  PR personality number one and performance success number two are what matters to everyone at all level of management.

As far as spokesmanship and endorsements - A pro shooter is going to bed with whoever pays the bills.  They are like used car salesmen - The best car is the one the are peddling at this moment.

That sounds correct, but if the manufacturing/technical/development component do not feel the company has the expertise to produce revolvers or ARs (There are Glock single stacks, they just might not be suited for competition) and "management" doesn't think the investment in gaining that expertise benefit the company, (let's stick to doing what we do best and not try to be your one stop supper mall of firearms) then the Shooting Team cannot answer all the needs of today's competitive shooters.

This might be the very reason GSSF was created..to highlight the products they produce (exclusively is noted).

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

....isn't this the custom 1911 he was shooting?.....  

[MikeBjerum]

Damn!  I admit to not following Glock, but when did they come with a 1911?  Woulda thunk that would have been big enough that I wouldn't have missed it

Gaston Glock making a 1911 would be like JMB making a revolver. Not going to happen, and for the same damn reason.
