What is the difference with them? Are they worth less/same? From what I understand blue labels are LEO. I know someone who bought a bunch of new glocks from a shop that are blue label, but they are not LEO.  Is the shop ripping someone off (them or the distributor)? Not complaining about the price, but what's the deal?

LEO sales.   The full and mid sized come with an extra magazine, and the "competition" guns don't come with a 3.5lb connector, IIRC.



I don't know how your friend got them, as they are specially priced to the dealers specifically for LEO sales, as I understand it.

Blue labels "should" only be sold to LEO's, firefighters, medics and a few others.  There's nothing overtly special about them other than they are sold for a reduced price.

That's also correct, it's more of a "public safety" thing rather than a law enforcement thing.

The shop does have special pricing for mill/LEO but sells the blue labels to regular people at normal prices and without the extra mag (just 2 10 rounders for us non LEOs).

If Glock Inc. finds out, that gun store won't be selling any more blue lable Glocks.  True Glock blue label LEO dealers must take copies of ID and use it as proof that the gun was sold to an eligible person.  Are you sure they aren't lightly used guns?  Anyone can buy a blue label gun used but you must have the proper affiliation or be in that GSSF club to get a new one.

Heck, they shut Mark over at Summit Gun Broker out for selling the red label Glocks too cheaply.  He wouldn't raise his prices closer to MSRP and Glock got pissed.  I can only imagine what they would do when they find this out.

My 23 is a blue label.  It is a regular old 23 with three magazines.  The retail price was lower since it was originally purchased by an LEO.

I spoke to GLOCK and they told me that the Blue Label is going to end. Too many dealers are selling Blue Labels to folks that don't qualify for it. Now the discount will be a rebate.

employment in the corrections field also qualifies you to purchase these "blue label" Glocks at the discounted LEO price. all my Glocks were bought this way - discounted price with an extra mag, why not?

Blue Label guns are sold to Police, EMS, Fire Fighters, Military active or retired. They are also sold to Glock Armorers and GSSF members

Does anyone know the restrictions on how many blue label glocks can be bought in a certain amount of time? What about selling a blue label glock, I have seen a few on the EE.

Ed's Public Safety in Georgia is very well known for selling Blue Label Glocks. To my knowledge there is no restriction on how many can be purchased in any period of time so long as purchased with the proper credentials. And there is not an issue with selling Blue Label Glocks by individuals or owning them if not LE or public safety personnel.

And a whole host of other people as well. Look up the Glock Law Enforcement Discount Price Sheet.

You can buy as many as you want.  I have bought 10 over the last 4-5 years or so.  There is no issue with selling them but it would not be right to turn it into a money making venture.  Something like that springing up could endanger the program I would think.

I have sold one blue label gun (G-23).  Had one box of shells though it.  Sold it to another firefighter for the same price I paid for it and gave him the holster I had picked up for it.

There is no limit.  Other than money.
