New Exclusive Davidson’s Gunsite GLOCK Service Pistol
GLOCK is very pleased to collaborate with Gunsite and Davidson’s to provide the Gunsite GLOCK Service Pistol to meet the needs of those that prefer an optic-equipped, high capacity, striker-fired pistol”, said Bob Radecki, National Sales Manager for GLOCK. “Gunsite, GLOCK, and Davidson’s are leaders in their fields of endeavor and the features chosen for this pistol reflect that leadership and insight.
The Davidson’s Exclusive Gunsite GLOCK Service Pistol will be officially released on January 16th during the opening days of SHOT Show 2023 and will be made available exclusively through Davidson’s, the Gunsite Academy Pro Shop, and of course GalleryofGuns.com. Davidson’s has released this special Glock pistol with an MSRP of $1274.99 but according to the press release, customers are likely to get a much better price when shopping through either Davidson’s website or in-person at the Gunsite Academy ProShop.

The Davidson’s Exclusive GGSP adds several custom features to the very popular GLOCK 45. Directly mounted to the slide is arguably one of the most popular pistol red-dot sights on the market today – the Holosun HE509T-RD X2. The slide is milled to accept the optic (versus using a plate) which was previously done by GLOCK only for LE and the military. Features of the HE509T-RD X2 include a titanium housing, Holosun’s Super LED with up to 50k hours battery life, multi-reticle system, solar failsafe, and shake-awake technology. Holosun’s HE509T-RD X2 retails by itself for $505.87.
In addition, the GGSP is fitted with Ameriglo suppressor-height sights which allow co-witnessing with the Holosun, FBI rounded mag release, and lanyard loop. The GGSP also includes the GLOCK factory “minus connector” which reduces the trigger pull weight to approximately 4.5 pounds. The top of the slide is engraved with the Gunsite logo and iconic Gunsite raven image. This exclusive also comes with three 17-round magazines.
Gunsite Academy, located in Paulden, Arizona, is considered one of the world’s premier firearms training facilities. Gunsite Academy trains thousands of law enforcement and military personnel, as well as responsible private citizen gun owners, each year. It was founded by Lt. Colonel Jeff Cooper in 1976 as the American Pistol Institute. In honor of the Academy’s founding, the GGSP serial numbers all begin with the prefix “API”.
Ken Campbell, CEO of Gunsite Academy, said “The Gunsite Glock Service Pistol is, in the Gunsite tradition, a fighting pistol. It is robust, reliable, accurate, and affordable. It is like the Timex watch – it just keeps running and running.”
“The Davidsons team is honored to have such great partners in Glock and Gunsite and we are excited to deliver such a great gun”, said Mike Massimo, VP of Sales for Davidson’s, Inc. “We hope you all enjoy shooting it as much as we do.”
