I bought my G19 Gen5 from a Blue Label dealer in Maryland a little over a year and a half ago. The shipped it to an FFL in my home state of Delaware, I did the transfer there and all was good. The purchase price at that time was in line with what what I saw on the GT Distributors website.
I stopped in the same dealer this past Friday as I was in that area doing some business and asked if they had a Blue Label G19X in stock, which they did. I asked the price. The guy said $635 if I paid cash, $665 if I paid with a credit card. I was pretty shocked by the price, as I saw on GT Distibutors the price for a BL 19X was $533.50. For reference the retail 19X at the store was priced at $719, which is about $30 higher than at my local gun shop.
I figured that dealers could set selling prices, but that seems kinda way out of line. Any thoughts on this pricing? Has anyone ordered a BL direct from Glock? How did that process work for you?
I'm going to check a couple of the BL dealers in Delaware to see if they have any 19X's, if not I may just order it straight from Glock.
