Handguns Descriptions
Glock 23
The G17 Gen5 features a no finger grooved, multiple backstrapped, rough textured frame with hundreds of miniature spikes which results in remarkable traction for extreme environments and gloved operators. The frame also features a smooth trigger, reversible mag release, and ambidextrous slide stop. The magazine comes with a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change, and a orange follower, while the flared mag-well makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the mag-well. Glock\'s nDLC finish provides a tougher, more durable protection against corrosion and scratching. The Glock Marksman barrel features a barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy. his Glock Gen5 model has AmeriGlo night sights (green with orange outline front and green rear) and a 10-round capacity.

Walther 1936 Olympia
Back when I was involved in education I came to the opinion that all secondary school students should learn and practice the Olympic Modern Pentathlon: not the one that is currently performed at the Olympic Games where the real pistols have been replaced with dinky little laser pointers, but the original one. In order to successfully participate in this event a student would need to learn how to swim well, run with endurance, fence with an épée, ride a horse over obstacles, and shoot a pistol. This was an event that did far more than just build physical fitness, it taught mental discipline, it taught how to stand your ground, how to build a relationship with and control an animal that has a mind of its own and is stronger than you, and the fine coordination that all accurate shooting requires. This was one of the Olympic disciplines for which the Walther Olympia pistol was created.
