Glock’s David Sevigny, Julie Goloski Achieve USPSA “Grand Slam”
SMYRNA, Geo., – Known worldwide as awesome competitors with service pistols, David Sevigny and Julie Goloski of Smyrna took home all the marbles at the USPSA Handgun Nationals in Barry, Ill this fall. Carrying their tried-and-true Glock 34’s in 9mm, the two took home the men’s and ladies’ titles in both Limited-10 and Production divisions. Brand-level competition was intense this year, with shooters from Sig, HK, CZ USA, and Beretta lining up to eliminate the champions.
Team Glock has a long history in Practical Shooting, but their direct support of Sevigny and Goloski is unprecedented for Glock. The pair work full-time for Glock, with competition as their No. 1 priority. The expense has paid off. Sevigny has landed numerous International Defensive Pistol Association titles, has won the USPSA “Production” event two years in a row (first man in history to do that), and has a matching World Shoot title in Production. He very nearly picked off the the World Production title as well, taking second to Adam Tyc in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Teammate Julie Goloski’s wins make her the second person in history to win a division title in all four of USPSA’s autopistol divisions. She already had one U.S. “Production” title and one World “Production” title into the Glock trophy case – and these last were all won with the same off-the-shelf gun.
“The Glock 34 is just so fast, and so reliable, it’s the one I’m going with,” says Goloski. “I could earn better points in Standard with a larger-caliber “racegun.” but I’ve timed it out, and the Glock 34 is faster.”
