Nur für bestimmte Disziplinen wie Großkaliberschießen und Zentralfeuer-Patronenschießen wird sie auch in Schützenvereinen verwandt.

Pistols of the Glock-brand (see picture) are on the market for twelve years now and are a favorite off LEOs.

The ammunition for the Glock is called „9 Millimeter Parabellum“, which is especially strong and penetrating. From the double-stacked magazin up to 18 rounds can be fired.
