Does anyone know of a good online dealer that supplies blue label to veterans? I don't have an authorized Glock dealer in my area anymore, so I would need to order it and ship it to my LGS. Also, from my understanding Veterans are eligible for blue label, is this correct?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, veterans are eligible for Blue Label pricing. If you don’t have a Blue Label dealer in your area, contact GLOCK and they may be able to help you secure a gun. Keep in mind, GLOCK is fairly liberal in what it considers “in your area.” I don’t know of any dealers that handle Blue Label transactions online without an in-store pickup. Perhaps the program has changed and some dealers will do it now, but it used to be against the program rules.
 
Check out GT Distributors. They are blue label but you must reside in a certain geographical area to order with the blue label discount. They are based in Texas and serve the Southeast GT Distributors | Tactical Gear and Police Equipment
I’m fortunate enough to live near a GT Distributor location. I was hoping the G30.5 would be released before year end. Since it wasn’t, I had to buy a G26.5 last month. They are a first class operation, I always enjoy a visit. In Texas you can have veteran verified and branded on your DL and LTC. They told me either one was fine.
 
There is a dealer look up on the Glock site to find stocking dealers that handle Blue Label sells.
In my case it was about 30 miles away but I was able to order one and pick it up when it came in so I didn't have to go but one time. That was several years ago so I think more have been added.
 
DD214 gets you two a year. Take a drive to a dealer in your State, it's worth it.

If you're retired, you can order direct.

GLOCK Blue Label Program
Retired Vets can not order direct from Glock. I've learned that Glock does not sell all the models direct to eligible LE either. My LGS go axed from the program. Still a stocking Glock dealer, just can't Blue Label anymore.

I don’t know where you got your information. Glock sells Blue Label Glocks direct to retired Veterans. Read the link I posted from the Glock BL program. An yes I have ordered direct.

link again.

Not all models are Blue Label and some States have different requirements.

Retired with credentials, they can get direct sale. Selling to veterans, it has to go through an FFL. Those of us who weren't lifers have to use an FFL.

The following are eligible for purchases at Local Blue Label Dealers but are not eligible for direct purchases from GLOCK Inc

  • Veterans with an Honorably Discharged DD214 or NGB-22 and Driver’s License. Eligible for purchase at a local blue label supplier found on the GLOCK dealer locator. These sales are not eligible for direct purchases from GLOCK Inc.

Now, you can be what you are. But read the entire link and look at the table. RETIRED MILITARY can order direct from Glock! If you're not retired, sucks to be you.

This table! 6th line, READ IT.

OP,
I've heard of others who are just too far away from a Blue Label dealer.
While I live near to two Blue Label dealers, I even drove ~90 miles round trip today just to go to a 3rd to buy a used-revolver.

This 3rd Blue Label dealer doesn't keep any stock on Blue Label inventory (too expensive to invest in Blue Label inventory for them, apparently) but will order anything. I don't know if they'd require a qualified person to be present or if they'd accept a deposit with copies of required documents to be faxed/emailed/texted or not. Perhaps each Glock Blue Label ffl might be different as to how business is done especially if the desired Glock model may not be in-stock anyway.

The problem, I suppose, is compounded if a person lives in a state with a mandatory waiting period before receiving a firearm (I don't anymore thank goodness).

Got to go right now. Bye.

I am retired military. Glock told me that because there is a Blue Label dealer near me I have to wait for them to receive the Blue Label model I want.

Also, it seems there is confusion in this thread. “Direct from Glock” does not mean Glock will ship a new gun to anyone’s door regardless of credential status. (Unless they hold an 01/07/etc. FFL)
