In addition to a driver’s license, the qualified purchaser is required to provide an authorized photo ID from their agency or department, this is a key Blue Label requirement.
This authorized photo ID should come from one of the authorized entities on the eligibility list or an original official use letter from the department if they are a sworn law enforcement officer. As for Military personnel, there is a need to complete a GLOCK military verification form, while federal law enforcement personnel on the other hand use their official business cards for verification of their service.
Therefore, law enforcement officers can purchase their private duty weapons; with the permission of their agencies, directly from GLOCK on a prepayment basis. These weapons after purchase must be shipped to law enforcement officers and cannot be resold to members of the general public. It is also key to keep in mind that individual officer sales are subject to federal excise tax as well as local sales tax.
To fulfill this program effectively, GLOCK has partnered with several firearm stores that must comply with the requirements and needs of this program. Local stores participating in this program can be located by the eligible purchaser through a locator on the official website of GLOCK.
This can direct you to the closest store to you. The Blue Label Program has a wide availability of BLUE LABEL GLOCK models, ranging from GLOCK 17 Gen 5 full-size pistol, to the ultra-concealable GLOCK 43X MOS. The products present a comprehensive selection of the latest GLOCK pistols such as GLOCK 5th Generation pistols, the GLOCK 45 and GLOCK 48. Many Models are compatible with the Glock Performance Trigger, which makes for a smoother and lighter pull that is makes recreational shooting much more enjoyable.
It is important to note that not any GLOCK firearm can be considered or sold as a BLUE LABEL GLOCK, it is a special designation that originates from the GLOCK Manufacture. So while you can certainly get any model of GLOCK as a Blue Label, it must come from the factory as a Blue Label, you cannot pick up a normal GLOCK and sell it at Blue Label discounted price.
GLOCK Blue label also only applies to GLOCKs that come in the standard Black color - no OD Green, No FDE, no Grey, as these colors are only available in the commercial line of GLOCK products.
