Just when I thought I was out...Glock pulls me back in.
Fortunately for my wallet the local Ace Hardware only has a very limited current stock of blue label guns: one 9mm of which I already have, a G36 (pass), and a bunch of G22's, G23's, and a G27 (pass on all). |

Don't forget, you can order directly from Glock and have it shipped to your local dealer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not for a vet. Only for GSSF and regular blue label qualifications. I emailed Glock my DD214 and they pretty much told me to fuck off and find a local dealer with inventory. Well, that's fucked up. |

That's fine. There really is no benefit going through Glock over a local dealer/distributor. Glock's estimated timeline for getting a Blue Label gun delivered to your dealer is approximately 180 days regardless of model. Depending on model, i can normally get blue label guns to the store in 3-5 days. Maybe 20-30 days at the most for something out of stock. Quick note: That is pretty much what it says on Glocks website.  Attached File |

That is not my experience at all, I have bought blue label Glocks while active duty Mil and now retired for years. I have numerous friends who have done the same thing in North Carolina and Florida. Maybe your dealer had some wrong information on selling and I participate in GSS events over the years and have never heard that before. Just my and friends experience

Just my and friends experience Standard blue label requirements for Mil. year round are active duty, or retired from military. Only the active duty guys at my shop can get Blue Label, until they do this little allowance every year. The guys who sign up, do their enlistment, and then get out, do not qualify year round. Basically, honorably discharged is different than retiring for blue label. This allows someone honorably discharged who didn't spend their career in to get the price break. |

As stated above, when going direct through Glock, it can take up to 6 months to get the gun. He can contact his Blue Label dealer, and they can order him what he wants and have it in shop in days, maybe weeks depending on Covid shipping and inventory at the warehouse. We do it all the time for guys who want something we don't usually keep in stock. Glock telling him no, is because he is not normally eligible for this program, so if he qualifies during this time period, he has to find the dealer with what he wants, or can get. |

If you order a blue label from Glock, you have to meet the regular qualifications for purchasing a Blue label firearm. Salute to Veterans purchases need to be done through a blue label dealer or distributor. |

There's not a blue label dealer within 2 counties in either direction of me.

Pretty much any Glock can be purchased through Blue Label but I know the price is the same for Glock 44 22 LR as red label. GT Distributing is a good source for Blue Label info and pricing.

G44s are normally white label since they have 10rnd mags. |

While the local Ace Hardware has a limited supply/selection of blue label Glocks there is a regular Glock LE dealer in Columbia (Craig's Firearm Supply). Sooner or later I'll get over there DD214 in hand.

I made the drive over to GT Distributing's Rossville, GA / Chattanooga, TN store today and grabbed a G17 Gen 5 to go with my other Glocks.

If I purchase online do I have to send it to a local blue label dealer or can I use my regular FFL dealer?

Quote HistoryQuoted: If I purchase online do I have to send it to a local blue label dealer or can I use my regular FFL dealer? If purchased from an online blue label retailer, I don't see why a standard non BL FFL couldn't handle the transfer. I'd call the company you plan on ordering from first to verify though. |
