GSSF’s final competition for 2022: El Dorado Security Service now official sponsor of Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation
– El Dorado is Guyana’s exclusive dealer for Grand Power Line firearms
The El Dorado Security Service has come on board as an official sponsor of the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation’s upcoming final competition for 2022.
Mrs Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon, Secretary of the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation, receiving sponsorship funds from Mr Alvin Holladar, Chief Security Officer of El Dorado Security Service
During a simple ceremony held at the headquarters of El Dorado Security Service in Young Street, Kingston, GSSF Secretary Ms Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon, in accepting the kind sponsorship, conveyed thanks to both Mr. Tamesh Jagmohan and the Management of El Dorado Security Service, and expressed her congratulations on the dealership and the CEO’s usual unhesitating support, as Mr Jagmohan continues to give towards building sport shooting in Guyana.
The upcoming Practical Shooting Match will feature four exciting stages to challenge local handgun practical shooters. Their knowledge of firearm safety will be foremost while competitors’ skills of marksmanship and handgun reliability will be put to the test in the fast-paced run-and-gun shooting that the sport of practical shooting is known for.
In this regard, the Grand Power X-Calibur’s 1mm wide fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight and long sight radius (over 8 1/2 inches) are ideal for accuracy-minded shooters. Left-handed shooters are particularly delighted, since the X-Claiber’s safety, magazine release and slide lock are on both sides of the pistol.
The Slovakian manufacturer, producer, and exporter of the Grand Power Line Firearms to more than 60 countries worldwide now has a presence in Guyana, with El Dorado Security Service of Lot 136 Young Street, Kingston, Georgetown having been given the exclusive dealership.
The X-Calibur is this company’s top-of-the-line “sport” pistol that is ‘aimed’ at the IPSC/USPSA and general practical shooter. Like many of the guns for this market, it’s a DA/SA full-frame 5? slide 9mm with a 15+1 capacity. It looks and feels like many of the High Powered/CZ-75 guns currently vying for the competitors’ trophies at sport shooting events.
A fun fact is that the older K100 pistol by Grand Power was imported by STI in Texas, with STI branding on it. STI is the maker of the familiar 2011 race guns, and the heritage of that manufacturing is present in the X-Calibur as well.
Remember: this is a “race” gun, not an everyday carry gun. As such, it is much anticipated to see the firearm in the hands of local sport-shooters.
