Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this SCARCE semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction; this is the Glock 17 Generation 2 Security Team Atlanta, GA Limited Edition.
The Glock 17 “Security Team Atlanta, GA” is a limited-edition run of approximately 2000 pistols produced by Glock to commemorate and support the private security forces contracted for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, a global event that demanded heightened security and standardized sidearms for both coordination and professionalism. Its unique slide marking reflects that role, tying the pistol directly to the real-world security efforts surrounding the Games—efforts that became historically significant following the tragic Centennial Olympic Park bombing, which brought national scrutiny to security operations in Atlanta. These events later inspired the acclaimed film Richard Jewell, which dramatizes the atmosphere and challenges of that period.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Glock 17 “Security Team Atlanta, GA” edition was produced in a limited run of approximately 2,000 pistols to commemorate Glock’s support of the private security forces contracted for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. As one of the largest sporting events ever hosted in the United States, the Games required a robust and well-coordinated security presence, and Glock created this special-marked edition to provide a modern, reliable, and uniform sidearm option for personnel. Its distinctive slide marking—“Security Team Atlanta, GA”—sets it apart from standard Glock 17s and links it directly to the Olympic security structure of that era. Mechanically identical to the Gen2 Glock 17, this commemorative model is distinguished not by design differences but by its purpose and its limited, event-specific production. While these pistols are often discussed in the broader context of the Olympics, they were not involved in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing, nor were they created in response to it. Instead, they represent the broader security landscape surrounding the Games, which required unprecedented levels of planning and manpower. The bombing itself became a watershed moment in modern event security, highlighting vulnerabilities and reshaping policies nationwide. In this historical frame, the Glock 17 Security Team edition stands as a symbol of the tools and preparation efforts that went into safeguarding attendees, and it provides collectors with a tangible connection to the real-world challenges faced during a global event of such magnitude.

The pistol’s historical and cultural profile was elevated further by the release of the acclaimed film Richard Jewell, which dramatizes the true events surrounding the bombing and the intense scrutiny placed on security personnel. Although this Glock variant does not appear in the film and was not tied to the investigation, the movie renewed public focus on the atmosphere and pressures of Olympic security during the 1996 Games. For collectors, this creates a compelling blend of appeal: the firearm is a rare Glock commemorative with only 2,000 produced, a meaningful artifact tied to a major international event, and an item indirectly connected to a significant piece of modern American history. As a boxed, high-condition example, it represents a unique opportunity to own a limited-edition Glock with both historical depth and collectible scarcity.
