| I ordered a Glock 19 using a GSSF coupon a few weeks back. Although they had Glock 19s in stock, I didn't realize they had to specifically order one if a coupon is used. How long does it typically take from ordering to delivery? I'm at a two week wait now. Thanks. |

If they're a Blue Label dealer they should have some guns in stock. In future years see if there's a Blue Label store in your area. It was my mistake for not asking, but I'd rather wait several months than give business to some of the other Blue Label dealers in my area. One charges an outrageous amount for transfers and the other was crooked with the whole gun panic a few years back. They would claim they never received magazines but then would list hundreds on Gunbroker. |

I posted this thread above. "I just don't see the great deal. Blue label comes two mags iirc. Red label has three. Just bought g19 -4 for $535 LGS. Save at most $50 and I would have to deal with blue label dealer I'd rather not." I think some blue label dealers play games. I would buy a red label elsewhere. |
| I just picked up blue label g19tb thru gssf program. Got a great deal plus it came with 3 mags. Yes the trick is to find blue label dealer that charges glock est prices. I will buy another next year when my coupon comes in. Saving money is saving money in my mind. If in florida. Several dealers in central florida that will take of you. |

I bought a Blue Label G19MOS for $540 out-the-door a few weeks ago, and that's after Texas sales tax. Sticker price was $499; Glock's suggested Blue Label price for that model is $489. And yeah, it had three mags, just like every Gen4 Glock ever sold. A non-MOS G19 was in the display with it, priced at $425. OTD would have been $460 after sales tax, and again, with three mags. Keep in mind that the coupon costs $20-$30 depending on which membership you buy. I think the key is, BEFORE you join GSSF, see if you have a Blue Label dealer you want to work with, who honors Blue Label prices (or close to it). If so, join GSSF and save $40-$80 on a Glock every year. |

One can always call Glock directly and ask who is an authorized Blue label dealer in your area? If I'm not mistaken, don't GSSF orders ship out directly from Glock? It's always good to know the going rates, Blue Label is Blue Label, it doesn't matter where your at, or what time of the year it is. Glock sets those prices themselves and they are not up to interpretation by dealers. I've seen several LGS that claim to be a "Blue Label" dealer, when they are in all actually just trying to rip off the customers. Place about an hour away from me tried that shit, even got me down to their store after a quick phone call, only to bait and switch, and swear up and down that $599.99 was the Blue Label price on a 21 (this was about 3 years ago). I called Glock and gave em a heads up. At that time, blue label pricing was only around $450.00 on a gen 4 Glock 21. |

They come with 3 mags (doesn't matter if it's Gen 3 or Gen 4). |

We don't because we're a little more expensive than most but service makes up for it. |

I'd love to know all of the accounting and cost/profit splits between Glock and retailers for Blue Label guns, compared to regular guns. Like, does my LGS owner wince when I walk in with a GSSF coupon because he's about to spend the same 10 minutes selling me a Blue Label gun as he'll spend selling the next customer a regular Glock, but he's only going to make $10 profit off of me instead of $50 off of the next guy? |

And then what? Mail it back to Glock? Sell it and send Glock $X of the proceeds? Wait for Glock to bill you an extra $X on your next order of Blue Label guns to account for it? Seems like a weird policy since Glock is making $20-$30 more on GSSF purchases than it does on regular Blue Label purchases.

Dealer disposes of it as they see fit, we choose to dispose of it with the customer. The cost for regular blue label and GSSF should be the same. Also Yes the dealer makes considerably less on a blue label gun than a reg/white label gun, about 1/2 the profit. We do it because volume makes up for it and you pretty much don't have to actually "sell" the gun. It's more like a fast food transaction than figuring out what gun they want(smith,glock,xd etc) |

I've never seen that policy or suggestion from Glock. In fact, every GSSF Blue Label transfer I've done (even those straight from Glock Inc) had three mags. |

I was wrong about the current policy from GSSF. I'll post the doc i was referencing later |
