Can someone tell me how long it takes to get your membership after turning in your form?

Also, I think it was Ed's Public Safety where you could sign up and purchase a discounted Glock at the same time. Is this unique to Ed's, or are other dealers cool about doing this too?

Thanks,
MF

My membership only took about 8 or 10 days... but I have heard of it taking up to 4-6 weeks.

AFAIK Ed's in the only dealer doing that.

Took me 5 weeks. I think they do membership in batches every month or so.

sent my check 1/12;
check cashed 1/31;
got GSSF card 2/12.

only got the card, but nothing else.  they're out of hats, glock report, and whatever else they send you.  but, i can go buy one now.

What do they do when you buy with GSSF?  punch your card, or just record your membership number?

Good to know, thanks for the info.

So you can mail in or fax the form to them, right? Can't do it online?

Your moral compass should stop you. You can buy one gun per calendar year. I got my membership last October? I bought a gun then and I can buy one again now. If you time it correctly you can get 3 guns in just over 2 years.

First will be a Gen4 17 for EDC. Maybe a 19 and a .45 SF, Model 30 right?

There is a short frame 30, which has a shorter length of pull. There is also a single stack 45, the 36, which is thinner.

I talked to Donna @ GSSF just the other day.  They are back up but started processing new members last week.  

Mine was there for a couple weeks, but I think the pile is starting to move...   ;-)

Let's see, I purchased 21SF from Ed's in October 2010 and have yet to get anything. I don't really care too much per say as I got the discount and the additional mag.

Yes, hopefully soon! The card came with a nice letter from Donna. As noted above, they are out of hats and other items, so they will send a full membership packet when they are stocked up again, but wanted to get the cards out.  I will be buying a Gen4 17.

It is a great organization that really is a model to be followed by other gun manufacturers.

Got my card and letter from Donna...  I can wait for the hat... I wanted the G-35...  A LE G-35, 3 HiCaps, w/ night sights for $507.00.    Isn't smoking, but is the best deal I could get so I'm very happy....

Up Next - Lone Wolf 9mm Conversion, 3.5 connector, Ameriglow Hack front sight, more mags...  

Aaahhhh...... Finally...  Thanks GSSF....  :-)

I got my card in the mail, but nothing else. I thought I was waiting for some sort of certificate to buy my discounted gun..

So I can just take my card in to the local GSSF dealer (yes, I have one nearby) and show them my card to buy my new G26?
Cool thing is, they gave me a GSSF discount on some G-19 mags last week when I mentioned the program. Not sure if that is just their deal or all dealers to that.

Yes Sir.  You can.  Yeah I'd take all the discounts you can get these days.

Cool. Enjoy!

It took 3 weeks for them to withdrawl 35.00 fee and the next day they deposited it back into my account waiting to hear back from them to find out whats up!
