What could be better than perfection? How about reasonably priced perfection at the big box you hate to love? :-X I got a flyer in the mail. All Glocks are $499. Yes, I'd rather buy from a local, and yes I can do better over the net. But, factor in shipping and transfer? $500 out the door NIB is a pretty solid deal. I think it runs for two weeks. If you are in the market I'd look now. FWIW.

Got to read the fine print: IN STORE ONLY until 4/2
So you will definitely save on shipping, if there is one in your state.
And they only seem to have (at least on-line) 4 models available. Maybe more in some stores.
I don't know how good this link will be, but if not just go to Gander Mountain and click on the "sales flyer". The Sale Fliyer Link is zip code dependent.

If those are Gen 3 Glocks that's what my local pusher sells them for. If those are Gen 4 then that IS a good deal.If you have to have a Glock that is.

That is a good price for Gander Mountain. They are still high on ammunition though.

Waiting for the tax refund to come so I can get my Gen4 G23 for $425.
-
At BAC, I would like to get them at the price but cannot find any dealer in Indiana that honors a GSSF or Armorer discount. :(
Contacted Glock Inc. a couple of times in reference to this. Still waiting on a call back as to whether to deal with them directly. That was over six weeks ago.

Ping,
Try OMB Guns in Lenexa, KS. I found an older GSSF dealer list and is says they have agreed to be the distributor for those states without one. They are listed for IN. 866-509-1299.

$500 out the door, you don't have sales tax in Palm Beach County? I've found it's usually about the same for tax on a local sale as it is on shipping on an internet sale. ($35 for 7% on $500 where shipping is normally about $25 and transfers cost me $10-$25). I know a couple Florida based shops, Florida Gun Exchange for one, that are priced as good or better than $499. I don't mind Gander though, when it comes to the big box places they're one of the better ones to do business with.

BAC, Glock did not renew their contract with OMB which led me to trying to find another dealer. Really liked the folks at OMB and got my G30SF in just two days. Wanted a G35 at first and they were out, other than the OD Green and I did not want one of them. (Funny how everyone is trying to snatch them up lately since they are discontinued.)
They also have done away with the certificate program and you have to use your GSSF Card to make the purchase.
I have still not heard back from Glock Inc. ???

That's suckish.

Yes, it sucks. Looks like my next purchase may be something other than a Glock. Have my eyes set on another AR-15... :)

Cabela's runs a lot of Glock sales as well. Sometimes if you catch it right you can double up. They'll offer $50.00 off any model Glock in the store, (they stock most all the models), then they will send out additional $50.00 off coupons on purchases of $200.00 or more. Melanie used this tactic when she bought me a Beretta 92 FS there a couple of years ago. Wound up getting $100.00 off.
I stay away from using a Cabela's credit card with their stupid "points". I had a lot of problems with them sneaking in finance charges, even if you paid the bill the day you got it. That whole routine falls under the, "You don't get something for nothing", header. IMHO Cabela's "points" are a come on. They wouldn't be doing it if they weren't making money on it. They are also their own bank, which is why they push their credit card so much. If you watch for the sales, and go in there armed with cash, you'll do OK. Bill T.

I just read in The Glock Report that they're changing the purchase program effective May 1. Now you need to be an annual member for at least a year before you're allowed to participate in the purchase program. They are going to have 2 membership cards: 1 for the club and 1 for purchase. New multi-year members will get the dual-card membership right away.
I guess too many people joined for one year just to get the discount (like me). Too bad I probably won't be in a financial situation that would allow me to purchase before May 1. Looks like that was money down the drain. Didn't even get a hat. :(
-
If you were a GSSF member prior than May 1 you will be grandfathered in. There is a ton of discussion on this topic on Glocktalk.
I am not happy I cannot find a dealer to make another purchase.
Good idea billt. Unfortunately we do not have a Cabella's in our area. :(

I called GSSF and they told me the same thing. You just need to call them to get a purchase card.
