Well it's now March 2008 and the military/homeland security discount is still going strong after three years! Thanks to GLOCK for rewarding America's heroes! To get the REAL DISCOUNT and not get lied to from local dealers CLAIMING to be Law Enforcement dealers (only L.E. dealers can or will sell at the super discount price) call GLOCK in Smyrna, GA at 770-432-1202. There are very few L.E. dealers in each state so you may have to travel some or order directly from GLOCK and have the gun delivered to your local FFL. Below is my original post from 2005.
I noticed in the new 2005 Glock Autopistols magazine (page 19) that Glock is offering discounted Glock pistols (entire Glock lineup) to active duty and reserve military personnel. The only trick is that you have to buy from a "Glock Law Enforcement Dealer." I would imagine that these will be the blue label guns that were formerly only sold to Law Enforcement (with a dept. letter) at a steep discount (about $100 less than normal sticker price). Get 'em while this deal lasts, guys! If you have bought one with the discount please post details about what model you got and where.
Kudos to Glock for this program.
***************EDITED TO ADD*******************
Glocktalk Member "Blitzer" reports:
"I just spoke with Doug at GLOCK’s Military/LEO/EMT sales department. If you have an ID card identifying you as a retired, disabled or active duty Military/LEO/EMT you qualify for the discount though your LEO dealers!"
************************************************
Glocktalk member "TED" reports:
"I don't know if someone mentioned this or not but the program has been expanded to include most public safety employees, for example, firefighters, EMT's, EMS, Paramedics and more."
***********************************************
Glocktalk member "AggiePhil" reports:
"I just called GLOCK at (770) 432-1202 and found out that EMS personnel are in fact being offered the $100 off Military/LE discount. The Customer Service rep whom I spoke with said "it falls under Homeland Security", whatever that means. He was then able to provide me with a list of GLOCK Law Enforcement Dealers in my state. I called one up and he said I just needed to bring my EMT certification card with me to buy it."

Another Glock first, and a nice one. :)

So now the obvious question...is there an "easy" way to find a list of Glock Law Enforcement Dealers? I did a quick check of the Glock web site but I don't see anything there.

This sounds like great news. I have been looking for a G26 to backup my G17.
Now the question is...how do I find a Glock Law Enforcement Dealer in the Detroit area? Furthermore, I am not familiar with Glock Autopistols magazine...so will these LEO dealers know about this military deal?
Link?
Yeah, what about us poor, old ;Q retired guys?

The GLOCK LE dealer in SC is Lawmens Safety Supply on Broad River Road in Columbia
(803) 798-2253
You must reside in SC to buy from them.
If you're looking for your state's LE dealer I'd suggest posting something in "Cop Talk" forum.
For you "walk-ins" I'd suggest taking that publication with you. Good chance the dealer may not even be aware of Glock's new sales policy.
I got a G26 from B&H in Cocoa Fl. I called them because I seen one on guntrader for $435 and could save the FFL fees if I drove over there from Orlando to pick it up . So, I went over there one day to check them out and I just happen to be in uniform. Once I got there, the guy said he could not honor the $435 price (I seen online) but he could sell it to me for $398.20.
So that's was what my GF got me for xmas. =) Now I'm thinking about a G20 =)

Actually, Glock has been offering these discounted prices for some time now. But you do have to purchase from your State's distributor. The discounted price list I have is as follows:
G17,19,26 $398.20
G22,23,27 $398.20
G31,32,33 $398.20
G21,30,36 $464.20
G20,29 $464.20
G34,35 $480.70
G37 $414.70
These prices are with the stock fixed Glock sights. They also offer Glock Night Sights, Meprolight, and Trijicon at a discounted rate.

Anyone know if they honor Retired Military for this?
Guy said it was active duty and reserve personnel which of course I would assume would have to be active reserve as well...I wouldn't get your hopes up about getting the discount if you use to be said personnel...

Just my luck. I just purchased my G37 for $550 :( Well, I reckon I could add to the collection.....
The way I understand it, this discount has been in place for well over a year for active law enforcement officers. Retired officers are not included (so as I was told). All the FFL needs is your agency I.D., no letter head needed. It works, I have several receipts to prove it.
I have heard they were going to include active military personnel but the price sheet I have says "Law Enforcement Sales Only". They list prices for departmental purchases and separate prices for individual officer purchases. For example, the department can buy a Glock 17 for $362.00, but the individual officer would pay $398.20. The G17 also comes with 3 hi-cap mags included.
I'm sure if you called Glock they could give you their state distributor in your area.

I am the LE/Military rep at Dave’s guns.
To get the LE discount on Glocks a letterhead is required except on models: 26,27,30,29,36, for those models I just need credentials. This is not a Dave’s guns requirement, this is a Glock requirement.
I can give you a LE/Military discount on all other guns with nothing more than credentials.
If you have any questions call me at work: 303-337-9494

Hmmm....makes me wonder how Glock is getting the word out to their LE distributors about the new program. Sounds like there's a disconnect already. Are military members going to need something on letterhead, too? Or will an active military ID be enough?
Inquiring minds want to know...
All I had to do was show my Military ID.

Hmmmmm....
Not to say you are incorrect but I have experienced just the opposite. I personally know of four Glock 17's, two Glock 21's, two Glock 22's, and some of the model numbers you mentioned, being purchased on the Law Enforcement discount with only the officers identification. Those purchases were not from the same state distributor either. As a matter of fact, I have in my possession right now, a Glock Law Enforcement Price sheet that list discounted prices for the Glock 17,19,21,22,23,26,27,29,30,31,32,33,34,35, and 37. I have never heard of anyone being limited to certain models for the L.E. discount. Contact your local distributor and see what they say.

lBritt,
Any Glock LE distributor that sells anything other than the models I listed without letterhead risks loosing their Glock contract. I am not saying it doesn’t happen, just that when Glock audits the dealer they are going to be in a world of hurt.
If there were no letterhead required Glock would have no way of knowing if the dealer was selling LE Glocks to the general public. Not even our Glock rep can buy a blue label gun.
I didnt say any models were limited, I can even get you a Green LE Glock. I just said that the models 26,27,29,30,36, were exempted from the letterhead requirement.

as far as i know, the only state glock distrbutor in NC is Arringtons. i could be totally wrong. last i checked, they required credentials and department letterhead signed by the chief in order to get the discounted prices. i have not verified this info. their website is just an info page.

hope this helps someone.

Having a friend buy a pistol for you is called a straw purchase and is illegal.

Maybe I should rephrase then; My friend can buy one for himself and if he decides to can sell it to me!
How's that????
If your friend is smart, he will get a signed receipt from you, along with a copy of your driver's license, so as to protect his butt.

Actually, its not. If the intended recipient is otherwise legally allowed to purchase the firearm, then the buyer is not violating any federal laws. So, a gift of a firearm is legal.
Can't speak for them, but I'd bet that Streicher's in Minneapolis and Milwaukee would be the place to go for MN and WI.
This is a good thing and consistent with the previous move to incorporate our military into GSSF's "Guardian" division (versus just Law Enforcement). I would imagine this includes credentialed National Guard as well, as they're certainly subject to the same rigors nowadays.

Anyone know where the LE/Military Dealer for Arizona is located or have a list of all of them?
Only a Google-guess, but try Arizona Gun Runners (http://www.arizonagunrunners.com/index.html). If they're not, they surely know who is.
Outkast42
02-01-2005, 17:25
Arizona Gunrunners is a law enforcement dealer, but individuals can only buy from them at gun shows unless you want to make an appointment and drive to Pine.
Arizona Tactical/Shooter's World (602-728-0900) is a Glock Law Enforcement Dealer in Phoenix but they are unaware of this discount to this point. I'm going to call the manager tomorrow and let him know about it though.

Cool sounds good, let me know what he has to say. Where is shooters world by the way, I have heard about it a few times before from friends. I usually go to Sportsmans Warehouse and Lonewolf.
I called Glock Customer Service today and asked if the military discount applies to retired military. She said it does as long as you have a retired military ID.

Most interesting, because this would have a huge impact in my sphere anyway. Sure would like to see this one sorted out.

EDIT: So I called just now to get a tie-breaker. Active military, reserve component military (US or Nat'l Guard) but they must be ON ACTIVE DUTY at time of purchase. Retired: Nope.

Yeah saving the money would have been nice, but it won't deter me from getting my first Glock when my permit comes back. NJ sucks for getting permits
FWIW, I just called Streicher's up in Minneapolis, fine folks who have a store there and also in Milwaukee. As far as they're concerned this is nothing new. The gentleman there advised me they're aware of it, but that it has always been their policy to offer individual officer pricing to Soldiers of all kinds. All you need is something on your unit letterhead stating who you are & your ID card. They consider the military our Guardians too. Hmmm... sounds familiar.

I think there is still some confusion. A lot of people don't understand the definition of "active" reservists and guardsmen.
I am in the Active Guard which drills once a month and two weeks a year. Same goes for the Reserves the people that drill once a month are Active Reservists. However, there is another group of reservists called the IRR (inactive reservists).
Next, you also have Reservists and Guardsmen that have been activated for more than 30 days in the defense of the nation and are now on Active Duty.
As far as I understand it I (and other Active Reservists) would qualify but a friend of mine in the IRR won't. I can't see this deal pertaining only to Reservists that have been "called" to active duty. These people won't have the opportunity to even buy a weapon while deployed.

John I noticed in the new 2005 Glock Autopistols magazine (page 19)
You can print all the stuff you want off the internet, but I wouldn't consider that proof. Go buy the magazine then you'll have your proof. Tell the dealer to call GLOCK customer service as well.

I called Glock and was given the name of the nearest LEO distributor (based upon ZIP code). Unfortunately, the ad in the magazine is misleading. The discounts are only offered to ACTIVE DUTY personnel and Reservists who are on ACTIVE DUTY. This doesn't really help most reservists, as when they are on active duty they are on their way overseas with no time to go and buy a new Glock (I had 3 days notice to report to a mobilization station over 6 hours away in 2003). Reservists should keep this in mind so when they come home on R&R or are on terminal leave prior to demobilization they can pick themselves up a new Glock at a nice discount!

Remember, too, that when you are drilling you are active duty. Just go down there when you're drilling, and in uniform, and see if they deny you.
I know for me, in the Navy, since I am SELRES I am considered "Active Reserve" therefor I would qualify. Thankfully our ID cards no longer say "Reserve" or "Active" on them anymore.
Falling Crow
02-24-2005, 16:26
In the Army, our IDs are all the same color, but they still say "Active Duty" or "Reserve". Alos, when we are at montly drills, we are legally in an IDT status, or "Inactive Duty for Training." However, if you go to the Glock store while you are in an AT (Annual Training), ADT (Active Duty for Training), or ADSW (Active Duty for Special Work)status, you should be okay, ecause legally you are considered on Active Duty. I wish Glock would make it simple and just say all reservists/guardsmen qualified! :cool:

Well the exact wording of the ad in the Glock Annual states: "...available to all active duty personnel and reservists...".
I don't interpret that as reservists ordered to active duty since if that's the case then simply saying "active duty personnel" would be sufficient. Neither does my LEO dealer that told me I was eligible. I am in the Michigan National Guard actively drilling. Not the IRR.
Falling Crow
02-24-2005, 16:46
I hear you guy, because that is the way I (an Active Reservist-not IRR) interpreted it. However, when I called Glock they specificaly asked me (at least three times) if, since I was a reservist, was I Active Duty? Now, if your LE dealer reads that differently and will let you purchase one as a drilling reservist or guardsman, then by all means don't walk, RUN down there and scarf up one (or two)!

I hear you right back... :)
It seems that there is a lot of confusion about this one. I think it all comes down to how the semantics of what "active" means is interpreted. I mean you and I know that if you're drilling we are active reservists but as I mentioned in a previous post many outside the military don't understand the different status.

I am the general public and have purchased a blue lable gun. This was a new gun, not a trade-in or rebuild. The guy in front of me purchased the same thing, a blue label G36. He too was the general public.

Just tell the guy to call Glock:
770 - 432 1202
or bring in a copy of the 2005 Glock Annual (page 19)
I called Glock to ask them why Active Duty were allowed to buy guns at a discount but not Retired. I am not aware of any active service permitting their personnel to provide their own guns for anything. At the very least on a large significant scale. Besides, why does everyone Active Duty qualify? So, as I said I called Glock and was told I did not qualify. After I hung up the phone I went to the garage and about five minutes later my phone rings. I answer it and a guy on the other end asks if I'm the guy who called Glock. I answered yes and he identifed himself as a marketing rep and asked me what I was interested in. He told me what to send to Glock and gave me a price and told me he would take care of it. Apparently it became a topic of discussion in the office and he got my number from the caller ID. So how do you like those apples?:cool:

Cool, maybe I will call them and ask if them if they can include those of us that just got in the last six months. I actually still have an ID but it is only good for medical benefits. It still says USMC and Sergeant on it. I think the beard will throw them for a loop though.

Thank god I am active duty 24/7.....the ad in the Autopistols mag says all active duty/reserve.....maybe they should put a disclaimer on it so they wouldn't get bombarded with questions
That is a great thing to offer military a discount like that. I am active duty and just stumbled upon this thread...does anyone know the LE dealer for florida? i currently have one G23 which I acquired through a private party sale, but in september i turn 21 and will definately want a new one...
and another question i have...what exactly does "blue label gun" mean? I know it's got something to do with the weapon being LE only but why is it called "blue label?"
thanks guys!

The blue label guns have a light blue label instead of the regular white label on the end of the box. It helps dealers keep their LE/standard guns seperate. The dealers have special requirements from Glock for keeping purchaser I.D. paperwork for most of the blue label guns (subcompact models seem to have some kind of paperwork exclusion as metioned in an above post by an LE dealer).

02-25-2005, 05:41
L4zy,
Shooters in Jacksonville (on University) claims that they are an LE dealer, however, Glock thinks otherwise. Either way, they quoted me $440 for any "standard" Glock (I'm looking for a G19). I haven't decided if I want it for that price yet or not. If you go there and get one, or find one somewhere else in Jax, let me know what kind of deal you get.....
Thanks,
Greg

Depends on where you are...
"The Range" in Stafford (northern VA)is a stocking dealer. I think the Superior Pawn Shop on W. Little Creek Blvd in Norfolk is also a stocking dealer. I'm not sure about the other Superior locations (Va Beach, Hampton).
Check out the Glockers of the Old Dominion Club here on Glock Talk -- you'd probably get more of a response there.

This is a good thing and consistent with the previous move to incorporate our military into GSSF's "Guardian" division (versus just Law Enforcement). I would imagine this includes credentialed National Guard as well, as they're certainly subject to the same rigors nowadays.
;?
Streicher's in Butler/Milwaukee offers Glocks (other than .45/10mm)to individual officers for $440. These are the standard-sight versions. .45's & 10's are $510 for individual officers. The only requirement is present credentials, no letterhead needed. They also sell for LE price to private security, and this is with Glock's blessing. Streicher's is the gun supplier for our armored car company, and we get LE prices for our officers. I was also allowed to attend a Glock armorer's course through my company. Glock has been very very good to us.

Any Glock LE distributor that sells anything other than the models I listed without letterhead risks loosing their Glock contract. I am not saying it doesn’t happen, just that when Glock audits the dealer they are going to be in a world of hurt.
If there were no letterhead required Glock would have no way of knowing if the dealer was selling LE Glocks to the general public. Not even our Glock rep can buy a blue label gun.
I didnt say any models were limited, I can even get you a Green LE Glock. I just said that the models 26,27,29,30,36, were exempted from the letterhead requirement. .
Streicher's in Butler/Milwaukee has no letterhead requirement, just I.D. And during last year's Glock Days (a yearly event, usually a single day which in 2004 ran for the month of July due to computer upgrade issues) Glock had reps on site who were there when individual purchases were occurring, and no mention was made of having to provide letterhead.

I think the reason that they don't require credentials is because those are not LE prices. At least not for standard sights. Are you sure those prices are not for night sighted guns?

Hi folks,
Glock is offering their discount to anyone with a Military ID. That goes for active, retired, The Guard, etc. All you have to do is call Glock to find a Law Enforcement Distributor. They will answer your questions and direct you.
Call Glock: 1-770-432-1202 and ask for Customer Service.

Just called and this time they told me that Retired personnel get the discount too. And he gave me the name and number of the LEO dealer near me...so everyone should jump on this.
I am retired military, and I just purchased today a brand new Glock 23, and it came with 3 Hi cap Magazines(Blue label box) $393.00 at the Scottsdale Gun Club. Great deal!!

Just to backup what some are saying on this matter... the "Reserve" question that keeps going around (and was addressed in a previous post), if you are an Active Reservist (not activated, but active vs. inactive... ie. attending UTAs/drills and doing ur ATs) you are eligible. When I called Glock they confirmed this and the place I purchased from obviously sold it to me.
This thread is a little old but maybe it helps.
For those looking in Florida and are too lazy to call Glock :). I picked mine up at Central Public Safety Equip. in Tampa, FL. I don't recall the name, but there is a LE dealer in Miami/Hollywood, FL also.

I have wanted a Glock G35 since they first became available on the market and now I may actually be able to get one along with the LE/Military discount. I want to start shooting in local matches,but wanted a well made,competitive and RELIABLE pistol.
I called Glock customer service today and they are sending me the forms.
I was informed that what was needed was a "copy of my valid military I.D." and a "signed(inked sig)copy of my dealers FFL. and that when the forms were returned with all the copies/payment that Glock would send the pistol to my dealer.
The price quoted for the G35 and 3 hi-cap mags was in fact the $480.70 + 10.00 shipping.
This should save me even with dealer transfer fees around $75 to $80 bucks over the gun store price plus I get 3 hi-cap mags instead of the normal 2 if bought straight off the shelf.
Not a bad deal in my book for a gun that will be kept for a long time and used 95% of the time for competition/practice for competition. The money saved will go a long way towards extra mags,mag pouches,holster etc.
I see it as a win-win situation for Glock and I. Glock gets a new customer and I get a gun that that is pretty much competitive out of the box(now I wont be able to blame any poor performances on the pistol).;)

Why do you have to do all that and deal with Glock? Isn't there a LEO dealer in your area. Just walk in with your permit to purchase (or in my case CPL), driver's license, and military ID.
That's what I did last Tuesday (finally). Picked up a G26 for $398. I was in and out in 20 minutes.

That's the thing. Not everyone has a readily local LEO dealer. And if they do, they aren't neccessarily admitting up to the discount. I know our local guy knows about the discount but I have seen them sell a G30 to a Marine at what I am sure was regular price. I didn't ask the kid what he paid but he was being handed his credit/debit card back as I was walking into the store, so the damage was already done.

I can see all this if there isn't a dealer in the area. If a LEO dealer just isn't honoring the discount I don't see why Glock can't just step in and make the phone call.

This discount is what pushed me over the top in purchasing my glock 26. I was not disappointed. It was on my list. The military discount just bumbed it in front of a few things.

Just got home with my brand spankin' new G23 with three std. cap mags. I paid a bit less than $400.
I offered up my Dept. of Defense Geneva Conventions Identity Card and my last active duty 'green' card.
I was going to buy one anyway...but having saved slightly more than a hundred bucks was most excellent.
That brings the GLOCK tally to three in my safe. Prolly more to come.

Standard Capacity. As in they hold the number of rounds that the engineers originally specified as standard. I got a blue label gun.

I seriously doubt it. You don't technically have a military ID. You have a US Government identification card which is sponsored by your active duty military father. The color of the card and the wording on it makes it clear that you are a dependant not actually serving in the military.
Many other government entities have a card similar to yours but they are not considered military.
Can't you have your father get one at the military discount then gift it to you?

Can a LEO dealer ship across state lines or is it a state by state thing?
Reason I'm asking is We have a 10% tax rate in TN, so If I order it out of state and have it shipped to my FFL here I would save $40 (or so)
Any dealers out there ship?

By the time you pay shipping and FFL transfer fee, I am willing to bet that $40 will seem insignificant to you.

FFL fee is free and shipping should only be $10-$15 dollars or so, now if I can find one that will use my UPS account number it woul dbe even cheaper.
So there is still a savings there.

Not being a smartass or anything but Glock LE Dealers have always done the military discount,active duty and retired.They also do discounts to leo's for their private collection.At least the Glock LE Dealer here has always this.:)

I found out this is true...mostly.
I believe the reason you are seeing a lot of discussion about it is because it was finally advertised by Glock. Many people didn't know about it until the latest Glock Annual came out.
However, it's not true that all LEO dealers were doing this. What we are also finding out is that they wouldn't do it until the ad was brought in. Whether they just didn't want to or they were unaware Glock finally cleared it up once they advertised it.

I'll tell you who is getting over on the troops. The PX on Camp Lejeune. I haven't been there in a while. But when I was shopping for guns, with the supposed tax free advantage that we are supposed to have on base, their Glocks, and other brands, were priced the same as, or more than, the Glocks out in town with tax. I was even saving close to a hundred dollars going through TopGlock and such when compared to the PX.
I even asked if they would match internet prices if I included shipping and transfer fee, just so I wouldn't have to wait for the gun, and they refused.
Is there a LEO Glock dealer near Killeen or Austin. Wanting to get a new glock under the military discount. Thanks

Not a good idea. That is a "Straw Purchase", if he takes your money and buys the gun, or if you pay him back, or he buys it with intentions of selling it to you. Punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fine.

I never paid attention but someone pointed out that there is a spot on the back of the yellow form so you can in fact purchase a gun for someone else as a gift. It is my understanding that a "straw purchase" is when you knowingly buy a gun for someone that can not legally own one.
You can buy the gun as a gift, but the dealer has to know thats what it is for. Also, if you give the person money and they get it for you, it is no longer a gift, it is a straw purchase. It isn't limited to just the folks who can't legally own one. Having someone else to get it for you because they are qualified to get a special discount is the same thing.
Another "straw purchase" situation, is say you and your friend go to a gun show, and you find this Glock you want. You and your friend are both law-bidin' citizens, and both have CCW's. Just turns out you dont have a second form of ID, and your friend does. So then you just have your friend do the paper work and pay for the gun. Thats a straw purchase. We see these things a LOT at gun shows. Thats why a FFL holder has the right to refuse any sale if he/she isn't comfortable with whats going on, without any worries of discrimination suits etc etc.
The next show that the ATF is on hand, I will get a more clear definition.

Okay, so the going price under this discount seems to about $400 for a G23 or G27. However, my local Glock LE Dealer in TN is telling me $450. He says that I "have to pay an extra $50 in some kind of tax - the $400 price only applies for an agency or govt purchase for duty use". Is this $50 a federal excise tax or something like that, or is this guy just jacking up prices? (by the way, TN state sales tax is IN ADDITION to this $50)
This is my first post, but I've been looking at G-talk for while and love the forum. Thanks for any input
Well my closest Glock LE dealer quoted a Glock for $398 plus taxes. They said the final price would end up around $480. Gonna get a G23 after I take my vacation. Heard too many stories about the 9mm in Iraq.
As for that reservist comment. When I called Glock they ask me if I was active duty so I'm assuming you have to be active duty to buy it at the discount. Plus Glock isn't gonna care anyway since it doesn't cost them much to make the gun.

He's full of it. The $398 includes the Pittman-Roberts excise tax. Police/military agencies can get an even lower non-excise tax price.

It's been in place for damn near forever for law enforcement. Usually no letterhead is necessary, as lbritt notes, just your credentials. Also, know that individuals, whether cops or military, must pay all applicable taxes. This is where a lot of folks get confused. If you call your LE dealer, ask them for the "out the door" price for you, and explain your situation. Prior to the sunset of the Brady bill, "law enforcement" glocks were guns that shipped from the factory with LE/Gov't mags only, and were earmarked (and marked on the box) for LE sales. Factory to area LE distributor to LE gun store.
Originally posted by lbritt
The way I understand it, this discount has been in place for well over a year for active law enforcement officers. Retired officers are not included (so as I was told). All the FFL needs is your agency I.D., no letter head needed. It works, I have several receipts to prove it.
I have heard they were going to include active military personnel but the price sheet I have says "Law Enforcement Sales Only". They list prices for departmental purchases and separate prices for individual officer purchases. For example, the department can buy a Glock 17 for $362.00, but the individual officer would pay $398.20. The G17 also comes with 3 hi-cap mags included.
I'm sure if you called Glock they could give you their state distributor in your area.

Military discount works! Last week, purchased G22 (my second Glock, first being G19) from Ed's Pawn and Gun, Stockbridge, GA. Dealer also informed me that discount program has been recently opened to certified EMTs and Fire Fighters, with TSA coming soon.
G22 is sweet! Have had my G19 since 1991 and still love it.
EMT's ?! WTF? When your emergency response folks have to start packing, then you have some issues in your neighborhood...lol

This discount is supposed to be for LEO's and Active Duty/Reservist Activated only. My dealer gave me the discount anyway. I am retired military and I saved a lot. I paid $503.00 out the door for a G19 with three hicaps and Trijicon night sights. I feel honored that he did it for me. The LEO's and soldiers, sailors, Marines, Airmen and Coast Guardsmen deserve this and more.

You are right. The MCX on Quantico charges $569 out the door for a G17. Their Sigs are the cheapest but why not the Glocks?

I agree 100%. If I was in charge of pricing, and not just helping at a shop, Military folks would pay cost and nothing more. Maybe I wouldnt stay in business long like that, but someone thats willing to go put their @$$ on the line, to keep me free deserves all the perks they can get.

Just received an "official reply" from a Glock LE dealer here in Minnesota (Streicher's in Minneapolis). The reply was from Dave Hansson and he said "Unfortunately our contract with Glock allows us to only sell to active law enforcement and military." "Sorry about the inconvenience." Guess this terrific opportunity doesn't include equality, since it obviously works at some places but not others. Can't say I didn't try.

There are others, but I live north of Dallas. I just called glock and they ask you for what city. You can also order direct/pay and have them ship to a nearby FFL. I emailed one of the gunshops listed and told them I was looking for the military discount and they quoted me $100 more than what glock said I should pay.
I am trying to get it done before I deploy next month. Stay cool, stay safe.

I am active duty military for the next 75 days(terminal leave). Title 10 USC no longer distinguishes between AD/RD personnel, and in fact goes so far as to say that the reserve is no longer a reserve, but is in fact a "force fully engaged in the global war on terror (GWOT)." Don't take my word for it, look it up in that catalogue called Title 10 USC.
ID cards no longer (because of OPSEC) will say Active Duty or Reserve they will say "Army", "Navy", "Air Force" and "USMC". There will be no distinction, between AC and RC, so essentially you will have to rely on the honesty of the guy accross the counter. I won't insult you and say 'principle' when $$$ is involved...
Recommendation: Being that 60% of all forces deployed to the CENTCOM AOR are Reserve or National Guard, why don't you increase your market share, get the jump on your competition and give everybody who carries an ID card (AC, RC, NG, retired) and give them the discount. The goodwill alone endgendered by this will be worth, not hundreds, but millions (think about 30 FREE seconds on the evening news on at least 2 of the 3 gun hating national news plus cable {think FOX, CNN, MSNBC}) and you will need to add another shift. Make it 17s and 19s or limit it however you can best support logistically, and watch them fly out of the stores.
See this for what it is: a great product in trained, loyal and (usually) safe hands. A whole generation of pistols (think 1911) getting passed down to sons and grandsons and the goodwill, which you cannot fail to underestimate.
Not to mention, this will will avoid some uncomfortable cross counter exchanges by some tight ass NG guy on weekend drill at lunch or at 1730 on a saturday after his last formation (which his drill just paid for the pistol he is paying for) and being told "**** you, you non active duty scum sucking sack, no discount for you no count reserve bastard". Believe me, they get that enough....Be a hero, be a good corporate citizen, and you won't believe the payoff in loyalty (and mags) for years to come.

I thougt the general opinion here is that Glock is indeed doing this. I know that I, a traditional M-Day Guard soldier, got it as well several others I know including retirees.
There are discounts available to all Law enforcement/Military and recently, security guards. You will have to ask your delaer if they will try to obtain a "blue label" for retired or prior service individuals. If you go to InterstateArms.com, you will find information on how to obtain the discounted pricing if you are active duty, and in the specific territory.

In case anyone is interested the Alabama Glock distributor is in Montgomery.

I hope to pick my G27 up this week for only $396. :cool:
I got mine for 485 after taxes. Wow I love my 23. I got 4 months left in the army thinking about getting a G36 in a few months. (Can only buy one pistol per month in CA). Well even though my ID said active, they still needed my orders.
Hey Linh40,
Where did you buy yours? I am in the Coronado area. So far I have called a few places. One of them tells me to call back on Monday to talk about it and the other place (Turners) told me it has to be directly with Glock so I guess they do not need my business. I am looking for a 34 and 26 and at those prices they are a steal, plus I do not want to drive to my homestate just to get the discount; I would prefer to wait.

The problem with this program, is that not all dealers know about it, and it is a hassel for the dealer to find who is the LE distributer in the area. GLOCK is very strict on who sells where. I am authorised to sell in the 6 New England states along with NY, VA, WV, DE, MD, NJ. If a dealer in these states wants more information on how to provide GLOCKS to their customers at the LE discount, call me and I will be happy to give all the help/information I can.

I can only service the dealer, so if you do not have an FFL, please contact your favorite FFL dealer and have them contact me.
Thanks

I don't know if someone mentioned this or not but the program has been expanded to include most publis safety employees, for example, firefighters, EMT's, EMS, Paramedics and more.

I just called GLOCK at (770) 432-1202 and found out that EMS personnel are in fact being offered the $100 off Military/LE discount. The Customer Service rep whom I spoke with said "it falls under Homeland Security", whatever that means. He was then able to provide me with a list of GLOCK Law Enforcement Dealers in my state. I called one up and he said I just needed to bring my EMT certification card with me to buy it. So woohoo...I'll be buying a new GLOCK 19 in a few days! ;f

Anyone know if you can take advantage of this offer through an out-of-state GLOCK Law Enforcement Dealer, in order to avoid the sales tax?
I just wanted to say how happy I am with this discount that glock is offering for the military. Their discounts entitled me to my G39 for $425!!!!!! I love it!!!!
Any of you guys know if this is a good price for a model 34 in CA with the discount? The manager of the place told me $579. out the door (with the 10 day period).
The only thing that made me a bit mad was some bull sh** about charging me an extra $5 per mag. (switch the hi-cap with the 10 round). I bet you they could sell the high caps to law enforcement without any problems and unfortunately I end up with the bill.
On the other hand, I can just wait till I get out of CA...

What part of CA are you in? If in northern CA try LC Action in San Jose. www.lcaction.com, But I'm guessing you're in San Diego, I'm from san diego but stationed in northern cali so I didn't get my gun in san diego. You should call Glock and ask them for the closest Law Enforcement Dealer.
I got my G23 for $485 after tax.

Tell that shop to kiss your behind. Call Glock and order it direct from them and they will tell you where to pick it up. You should come out about $100 cheaper than the price that shop quoted you.

I would call Glock and ask them to set you up. Are these shops you are calling your local law enforcement dealers? If they aren't, all they are telling you is that yes, they are offering you a military discount. So If they normally charge $650 for a G30, then yes, they are getting a military discount from them. But, they are not giving you THE military discount that Glock is offering. At least it doesn't sound like they are. Just look at some of the prices other people have been paying in this thread and you can see what I am talking about. Someone may correct me if I am wrong, but like I said before, you should be making out about another $100 cheaper with the real Glock military discount.

I contacted Montana Hawk in Cotati, CA and they do in-fact sell GLOCKS with the Law Enforcement / Military discount. I am active Law Enforcement.
I purchased a GLOCK 26 for $480.00 + TAX + DROS fees, total was $542.00 out the door with two magazines. Please note that at Montana Hawk they will not give me Law Enforcement (high-capacity) magazines without a Chiefs letter; Where as most gun shops in the area will.
I did not, however, need a Chiefs note to purchase the firearm at the Law Enforcement discount w/ regular 10 round magazines, all I needed to provide was my Drivers License and Police I.D.
Contact Information for Montana Hawk:
http://www.montanahawk.com/
707-795-4295
7950 Redwood Drive, Cotati CA 94931
It should be noted that the location listed above, in San Jose, was in-fact cheaper at $430 -- but being 2 hours away I did not elect to drive there and purchase from them.
As another note, for those interested, Marchels (spelling?) does not offer the LE/Military discount but it sells its firearms at wholesale to anyone who walks in the door.
His price was $489 for a GLOCK 26 -- merely $9.00 more than my LE discount at Montana Hawk, and you didn't need to be Law Enforcement to get that price. For reference, he also sells a GLOCK 19 for $475.00
Marchels does NOT require a Chiefs note to get Law Enforcement magazines, as an FYI.

You got ripped. I am sorry to tell you. When I lived in California, I bought a new G27 for $488 plus tax and DROS. No kind of discount at all.
An LEO discount should be getting you in the neighborhood of $400, before taxes, with 3 magazines, if not 2 magazines with +2 extenders on them.

That's not what they're going for these days, at least not what I could find.
The best I could find was about $550 locally without an L.E. discount -- although, Marchels (as I said) does sell them for about $490 *without* an L.E. discount, but they were the exception.
I've, including on this thread, yet to find GLOCKS going for sub $400 with the L.E. discount.
Nonetheless, I'm pretty pleased with paying $480 even if that's what the "average joe" can get from a wholesaler or not, because I was unable to find it any cheaper anywhere else.
Don't forget, LCAction in San Jose did offer me one for $430 with the LE discount. The problem is, San Jose is a solid 2 hour drive for me so I went for the local shop that sold it for $480 with the L.E. discount.
I don't think the "discount" is a set price for every dealer, I think it's a set discount -- but that discount comes off whatever price that dealer is paying for the firearm in the first place, and that is dependent on how many firearms they sell and their price structure with their supplier; So some are going to be more or less than others.
Spending $50.00 more to not travel 120 miles in California traffic was more than worth it to me.

I just called Montana Hawk to get a LE price on the G30 (glock is already closed so I thought I would just see what they said until I can get ahold of Glock tomorrow). Anyways....They told me that they are NOT a LE dealer, and they have never given discounts to LEO or Military. Dont know who you talked to but thats what they told me. That would be awsome if they had a good price too because I work in Novato so Montana Hawk is right up the road!!!
Oh well, glock is getting a call tomorrow.

M1, call and speak with Jay - he comes in next week, Tuesday. He wasn't sure either and had to contact his dealer -- but he knocked the price down from $599 to $480.
Jay is the man you want to speak to. It's worth the wait, you know? But hey, post what GLOCK says after you speak to them -- I'm interested.
And worst case, LCAction in San Jose offered it to me with LEO/Mil discount for $430, and Marchels in Santa Rosa (# listed above) sells without a discount for right around $480 as well.
I called B&H Gunrack in Merritt Island, Fl. they quoted me a price for a G38 with the LE discount $415 before tax. That's a hell of a deal, I'm driving five hours this weekend to pick it up. If the guy isn't lying to me I will be a very happy camper.:cool:

I just got off the phone with glock and they said the price of the G30 with military discount is $464.20 + tax and FFL costs (about $510 out the door). Thats about 60 bucks less than all the places around here have quoted me. I guess im just gonna have to order mine directly from glock.

Somebody had posted this earlyer in this thread but I just thought I would do it again and say that when I called glock I had these varified and they are all the correct prices. Thes prices are all BEFORE tax and other fees are added!!!!

Not if you buy the gun directly from a "GLOCK Law Enforcement Dealer" that GLOCK tells you about! No mail order required. Just call the phone number for GLOCK that is listed on this page and get the name of the "GLOCK LE Dealers" in your area. Pay one of them a visit. No FFL fee.
Well I just purchased a new Glock 19 with the discount. It DOES APPLY to all LE/Military/Fire/Medic/EMT etc. My cost before taxes was $398. If you fit in any of the categories, you do get the discount.
For all you Las Vegas shooters, there are two Glock LE dealers, American Shooter Supply and Discount Firearms. DO NOT go to American Shooter Supply. They tried to scam me and say that unless you are LE you only get $25 off. I am Air Force, and I called Glock 5 minutes before walking into the store to make sure I qualified. I then called Glock again while sitting in the store and they then confirmed that Shooters was trying to scam me. They even advised me to go to Discount Firearms as they had these complaints against Shooters in the past.
Discount Firearms was another story. Friendly the minute I walked in. They assured me that I do qualify for the discount. All they needed was ID. They even showed me the price sheet.
So make sure you are getting your discount if you qualify. Don't let a gun store scam you. Just call Glock up right there in the store, and the Glock representive will ask to speak with the manager.
If you're retired military, talk to those LE guys. Probably won't get the 398 discount, but they will work with you. G19, nib, ,nite sights, 3 mags, box of ammo, out the door,,,$500.

What are do you mean? You got ripped off also. Glock has already stated that they are including retired military in their deal. You should have gotten the full discount. Unless, you bought it earlier in the promotion. At first Glock had not included retired personnel, but they changed their minds after a few phone calls. But, that was more than a couple of months ago.

Pretty narrow minded if you are referring to other parts of the US. Some states have some additional requirements for purchasing firearms and dealers are required by law to do them.
Dealers have little choice to comply with the law.

09-02-2005, 10:54
OK....called Glock again to clarify some stuff because some of what everybody is saying didnt sound right.
If you order directly from glock. You will pay the price of the gun, plus you will pay a $10 dollar shipping charge to a FFL, of course you will pay sales tax for your state, and YOU WILL have to pay an FFL charge to whatever store the weapon is shipped to whether it is LE dealer or not.
The lady also informed me that if you buy a gun directly from an LE dealer the price will probobly be 10-50 dollars higher simply bacause the business has to make a little money out of the deal.
So again...dont expect to walk out the door with a new glock for only $398....you are gonna pay a few charges/taxes/etc....and every situation is different, so I think everybody can quit jumping to the "YOU GOT RIPPED OFF" bit so quickly.
AggiePhil
09-02-2005, 11:06
Of course you will pay FFL fees if you order the GLOCK from an out of state dealer. I thought we already established that.
As for the other fees and inflations you refer to, well....I guess it just sucks living in Kalifornia. I knew that already. Here in Texas, the "GLOCK Law Enforcement Dealers" sell the guns at prices that are fixed by GLOCK. GLOCK calls the shots on these deals. Then gun you get will be a "blue label" LE package with 3 full capacity magazines. Obviously, the dealers would probably LIKE to inflate the price so they can get a little more cut on the deal, but with only about five "GLOCK LE Dealers" in the state, they obviously aren't allowed to do this because they don't (I got my GLOCK 19 for $399!).

I paid $422.09 total for a G26. $398.20 + 6% MI sales tax. No FFL fee or anything.
Regardless, the actual price of the weapon before taxes should not be different than you previously listed if dealing with a true LEO dealer. If the actual price is more than that you may not be dealing with a LEO dealer.
There are many dealers out there that say things like "yeah I sell to LEOs" and they do indeed give a discount. However, this is rarely as cheap as you would get it if you went to a real LEO dealer.

well I dont know about every other state but I know good old gun hating California makes you pay $22 bucks to register a gun...and I highly doubt the dealer is gonna be nice enough to pick up that tab for you. So when you said no FFL or other fees i was thinking of CA law and was thinking hell no....but like I said, every situations (state, store, person, etc...) is gonna be different.

Well sure, lots of states have things like that but that is something you have to do to get ANY gun. I think many people here are addressing the amount that you will pay the dealer for a LEO priced Glock. Dealer transfer fees and local registration fees are, as you said, different for everyone.
The point is that if you walk into a LEO dealer then a G26 will be $398.20. When AggiePhil stated that there should be no other fees he is right. A LEO dealer will not charge any other fees but of course they can't control what you had to go through before lawfully being able to purchase a weapon.

Yeah, I think I'm about to be *forced* to buy a GLOCK 26 to be a little brother to the GLOCK 19 I just bought a couple weeks ago! ;i
I was in the market for a G38 and was prepared to pay $599.00 at the most, then I happened alond this thread. I now own a G38 and I only payed $439.26 after tax, that's a hell of a deal. I'm so glad I found GT.;a
In case this hasn't been confirmed (I haven't read every single post), I spoke to Glock and the discount applies to retired military. The rep gave me the address of a shop in my area (Drury's Gunshop in San Antonio, TX), and confirmed the discount price at $398.

I am a student in Navy ROTC which means I am also a reservist. Do I apply for this?
Well when I was in Air Force ROTC, I was actually issued a Military ID. As soon as you become a contracted cadet (meaning you go on scholarship) you will be eligible to get an ID. That is all you need and you should be good to go. Just present it to the dealer, and ask for the military discount. He should just make a copy of your ID. I wouldn't even bring up ROTC.

Hi Guys,
GREAT Info here- Can anybody point me in the right direction in finding a LE Glock Dealer in South Florida, or in the entire state of Florida for that matter that honors the LE/EMT discount.
I'm a state Licensed EMT and would like to find a place that actually honors the discount to emergency medical personnel.
Thanks guys for all the great info.

Call GLOCK at (770) 432-1202 and get a list of OFFICIAL "GLOCK Law Enforcement Dealers" in your state.

I really don't think that the policy is that specific. It's really just going to depend on the particular dealer you wind up going to. Basically, if you have a valid EMT cert that isn't expired, you'll be good to go. Just play it cool and don't ask a bunch of questions. ;)

Does anyone know if Glock will ship directly to a Gun and Rod club on a military installation? You can buy guns through them. I figure they would be safer than the local strealer?

I don't think so since they are not law enforcement dealer. But you can alway call them.

Yeah I am going to check into it tomorrow. You can only purchase a firearm through them if you have military id...active or retired. I figure the worst the can say is no.

I never joined the rod and gun club on base, but I can gaurantee you this. If they are a part of MCCS, or the other services equivelant, they are there to do one thing first. That is to make as much money as possible. They are not interested in your sport as much as they are in making money.

I just talked to Glock on the phone. They wont ship to these guys. Even if they did I would be waiting 10 weeks or so! My best bet is to go to LA and buy from "LA PD and Revolver Club". Any locals hear of em?

What about 'Civilians Accompanying the Armed Forces'? I'm a contractor with a full commissary/exchange privileges CAC card.
The LAPD Pistol and Rifle club is a good place. If you go in and talk to Charlie, he will set you up nice. Tell him Jake from Interstate sent ya!

I paid $503.27 each for a G17 and G19, after tax as I stated earlier in this thread (NIB 3 HiCaps with Trijicons). That was with the LEO/Military discount. If anyone in Virginia got a better deal, let me know. This gun was $477 before tax or $422 without Night Sights before tax. I am retired Army.
I checked with a local range/ dealer and the discount would add up to $465 +taxes. Their glocks started out at $625

Does anyone know a good dealer in clearwater, florida area that gives the discount?
Check out Kastle Keep in Largo. The managers name is Andy. I think they do LE Glock.

The guys from Quantico were selling them for $399 w/o night sights (and I think either $468 or $486 w/ night sights) for LEO/ Mil at the Hampton Gun Show last weekend.

picked up another weapon on this discount. G34 for $595. Got a G35 for that price as well. This time around (can't remember from last time) the guys didn't ask to see my mil id - though they know me well enough. my guess is glock isn't asking for copies of id like LMT appears to based on my experiences purchasing a LMT rifle.

Well when I was in Air Force ROTC, I was actually issued a Military ID. As soon as you become a contracted cadet (meaning you go on scholarship) you will be eligible to get an ID. That is all you need and you should be good to go. Just present it to the dealer, and ask for the military discount. He should just make a copy of your ID. I wouldn't even bring up ROTC.
Bringing this topic back from the dead kind of.....
I'm also a contracted cadet in AFROTC, with a military id. However I'm only 19. Is there any way I can still get the discount since I can own a handgun, but cannot purchase a handgun until I'm 21. Could I purchase the gun directly from glock have them ship it to my FFL and then have it put in my fathers name? OR if I cannot purchase one, would it be considered a straw purchase if I had another older cadet purchase it? Also what are the requirements for transfering the gun into my name if I can't technically purchase it?
Has anyone else been in this situation? If so what did you do?
Thanks in advance

+1 for Tom and Joe's!
Thanks for the heads up on the active duty military discount. I called Glock USA and they directed me to an authorized law enforcement retailer in Little Rock, Arkansas. Cruse Uniform only sells to certifed peace officers and active duty military. I paid $419 (Plus $31 tax) for my G19 and it came with three 15 round magazines, case etc. etc. The law enforcement kit always comes with three magazines they told me.
Locally, this handgun sells for $519 (retail) and can be bartered down to $500. It usually comes with only two magazines as well.
Thanks!

Hey guys. I read *most* of the posts in this thread and I see that the discound DOES apply to "retired" military/LEO/EMS/etc. My question is, does anyone know if it applies to merely "former" military LEOs? I was an MP, then CID agent for 10yrs...got out, but didn't "retire" with benifits. Do you think I could show a copy of my DD214? How about a copy of my old creds/badge (I have them in a shadowbox at home)?
Are disabled vets included, we would be a prime candidates for this offer?
I'll call Tuesday and ask nicely and yet firmly.
;) :cool:
