Chapter 1215: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Ninety-Eight: There are Benefits

It was getting late, yet during the demonstration shooting, Gao Yang said to the president, “I have already delayed everyone’s time significantly, now it’s time for the official competition, shall we proceed with the main event?”

Just at that moment, someone else raised another dissenting opinion.

“Mr. Gao, could you shoot with our gun once more?”

Gao Yang turned his head downwards and saw a person standing up, wearing clothes branded with SIG’s logo.

Glock monopolized the International Practical Shooting Confederation’s original gun group. Besides Glock 17, the only other guns visibly used were CZ75 and P226. To dethrone Glock looked unrealistic for now, but expanding market share was the determined goal for everyone at SIG Company.

A person resembling a team leader stepped onto the stage and addressed Gao Yang in a deep voice, “Hello, Mr. Gao, my name is Alaine Bessey, I’m an arms dealer and a distributor of SIG products, I’m here as a contestant.”

Alaine reached out his hand, and as Gao Yang shook it, he said in a deep voice, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Bessey.”

After Alaine nodded, he added solemnly, “Mr. Gao, I think you should use a SIG pistol for the same shooting demonstration to be fair, as you are not a spokesperson for Glock. After achieving outstanding results with Glock, I believe it’s unfair to other brands. Since you have begun shooting, why not try shooting with a SIG as well?”

Gao Yang felt somewhat helpless internally. It was just for fun, yet it ended up causing trouble.

Using the Glock 17, he significantly outperformed others who used Glock pistols, but also considerably surpassed the highest standards set by other brands. This made the sellers of Glock happy, but certainly not those selling other brands.

The CZ75 is a Czech brand and this brand does not organize shooting teams for the competition, at least not this time. However, SIG has its shooting teams and also arms dealers present. Gao Yang’s performance with Glock created a star effect, so would SIG’s sales be affected? This was a crucial concern for brand distributors like Alaine.

The president shrugged and said to Gao Yang, “You can continue shooting. It’s not easy for you to come out and shoot, and we enjoy watching your shooting, so don’t worry about time. Whether or not to use a SIG again, that’s your choice.”

Gao Yang liked SIG, and that’s why his backup gun in America was a P229.

There’s nothing wrong with that, if shooting then just shoot them all, consider it as doing a review. Gao Yang immediately smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll shoot with a P226.”

Alaine’s face immediately lit up with joy, and he exclaimed loudly, “That’s fantastic, I also have new guns, please hold on a moment.”

Alaine quickly ran down from the stage and then hurried back up. He brought two gun cases and opened one of them, then said to Gao Yang, “P226, a new gun, unmodified but finely tuned.”

Alaine’s action was actually quite risky because Gao Yang might be familiar with Glock 17 but not with P226. If Gao Yang performed poorly with the P226 during the shooting, it would make it seem like the P226 was inferior to the Glock 17.

But fortunately, Gao Yang was very familiar with the P226, as Cui Bo’s was also a P226, and Cui Bo was the person Gao Yang most frequently swapped guns with, possibly making Gao Yang’s familiarity with the P226 second only to the 1911.

Gao Yang picked up the gun and smiled, “Alright, no problem, I’ll use this one.”

The referee inspected the gun, and after the inspection, Gao Yang began shooting again.

The P226 is more expensive than the Glock and has a full metal body, which makes it significantly heavier than the Glock 17. This makes the P226 a bit too heavy for everyday carry, hence the Glock 17 is more popular in the civilian market. However, on the battlefield, Gao Yang prefers a heavier gun for its sense of security, even though the Glock 17 is no less reliable. But Gao Yang just likes the heavier feel of holding the solid handgun in his hand.

Being more familiar and easier to handle, Gao Yang’s performance with the P226 was naturally good. He ended up shooting a time of 49 seconds, which was one second faster than with the Glock.

When Gao Yang finished shooting, Alaine Bessey couldn’t close his mouth from smiling, and after taking back the gun from Gao Yang and putting it back in the gun case, he opened another case and took out a 1911 style handgun, laughing, “One P226, one GSR1911, these are gifts for you. Didn’t you say you liked the 1911? Please try our 1911, it’s definitely better than Colt’s, Mr. Gao. I hope you enjoy these two guns. Also, regarding the paperwork, we will handle it for you through mail order gun purchase.”

The handgun Alaine Bessey took out was all black, very finely made, with the model being the GSR, a popular 1911 version in America introduced by SIG. This model is a semi-handcrafted high-precision type, and being quite expensive, it counts as a high-end handgun.

Alaine Bessey was generous enough to give away two guns, and Gao Yang wasn’t one to refuse. Since they were given, he accepted them wholeheartedly; he had fun shooting and even got three guns for free, which was indeed a joy.

Gao Yang took the handguns and after looking at them, smiled at Alaine Bessey, “Thank you very much for your gifts, I really like them. I won’t hesitate to accept them.”

Amidst Alaine Bessey’s laughter, Gao Yang put the guns back in the gun case, and addressed the president and others, “I’m sorry, but I think it’s time for me to leave, my friends are waiting for me. I hope we’ll have another opportunity to have fun together.”

The president laughed, “Next time, don’t just do a demonstration, participate in the competition!”

Alaine Bessey handed Gao Yang a business card, smiling, “Mr. Gao, please call me when you have time and come over to visit.”

After storing the business card, with one gun case in each hand, Gao Yang stepped down from the stage. Yelena hugged him tightly, excitedly saying, “Dear, you were amazing!”

“Of course, I’m always the best,” Gao Yang replied.

After kissing Yelena on the face, Gao Yang handed the gun cases to Cui Bo to carry, waved to the surrounding crowd, expressed his thanks, and finally left the shooting range.

Cui Bo carried a gun case in each hand, and Li Jinfang also held a Glock gun case. As they walked to the car, Cui Bo spoke with a gloomy face, “I have to buy my own guns, but you shoot a few times and people give you guns for free. In just a short time, you got three guns. Ah, I don’t even know what to say. Carry your own guns, I feel depressed carrying them for you.”

Gao Yang, with his arm around Yelena, turned back and smiled, “We’re heading out to Colorado now. If you want to come, just carry the guns obediently, or else I won’t bring you. Are you coming? Will you carry them?”

“I will carry them, I’ll come!” (To be continued. If you enjoyed this story, please visit qidian.com to vote and support the author. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
