Glock blue label open for honorable discharge Vets
FYI if you have a Dd214 with honorable discharge you can pick up a Glock at basically wholesale pricing. Since it’s the blue label program there are actually some in stock.

Unless I read the GT distributor website wrong, just being a veteran isn’t enough. Have to be active duty or retired for the Blue Label program - unfortunately.

“ To purchase Glock 17 Gen 5 9mm FS MOS AMERIGLO Bold SIGHT BLUE LABEL PROGRAM (GLOCK-PA175S302MOSAB) you must meet both a territory and role restrictions from the lists below:
• You must live in one of the following states: AL, FL, GA, KS, MO, NE, NM, OK, TN, TX

The last option I see is:

“Military (Active, Retired, and DD 214 honorable)”

Until 11/11/20 it’s open to all vets.

It's real. They are now offering it to all Vets for a limited time each year.

Yes it’s open to all honorably discharged veterans. They did the same thing last year from Memorial Day to Veterans Day.

That's cool but the only Glock worth having is a Gen3 or 3.5 RTF2 with da gills

It’s real. They did it last year too. I’ve gotten 2 guns like that. They usually run it between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. After that you gotta be active duty or retired.

Good luck getting a blue label right now.

Last year I couldn't find a blue-label authorized purchase center.

Called around a bit, the one that was listed 180 miles away wasn't going to participate. I gave up. I've got plenty of P80's anyway. All I typically use glocks for is as cheap part suppliers for P80's

That program is what was used to get me a Gen5 G19 MOS last year.

Feeling even better about having 3 Glocks in my battery. Having evil thoughts about adding a 4th... where in the hell did I put my dd214?

I'm right there with you... This seems to be my year for new guns. Haven't bought any in probably 6-8 years, and this year I'm stocking up. Now if only I can find ammo before I run out of my stash.

Different models have a different price but I think my gen 5 g19 was 430 ish and meh g20 was I believe 480. Can’t remember exactly but it’s def. a bit cheaper

This isn't "basically wholesale", it's cheaper than wholesale. Blue label prices have been the same for at least the last 17 years.

I only looked up a few but two were within $10 of wholesale, the G26 is $50 less than wholesale. I posted this from work yesterday so I didn’t have the time to run through every one and compare exactly to wholesale pricing, geeze, give me a break. The point is that they are about half of what they are selling for on gunbroker and some are actually in stock and I though I would pass it on.

I need another gun like I need another hole in my head, but I've always wondered about a Glock in .45acp.

Hmmmmmmmmm...

Best call before you go- as limblessbiff said, most Glock Blue Label/Veteran Salute dealers are out or restricting sales due to low inventory. Markl Supply Company (Pittsburgh local LEO/Glock) stopped selling both pistols and mags thru this program about a month and a half ago. NC Lawman told my brother in the Tar Heel State about three weeks ago they only had a few Glock models left in stock.
Heavy demand.

Don’t need another either. I ordered a Glock 42 two weeks ago from a ‘blue label’ dealer. The price was $385 after taxes & background check, WI.

Of course there is nothing in stock, said it could be 1 week, or 9 months. They didn’t ask for any $$ down, just a DD-214 copy.

Should be open until Veteran’s Day. Use the Glock site to find the ‘blue label’ dealer. I went in person after calling.
