A price increase is probably on the way with the new form. I paid $495 for mine awhile back, it's abit more now. ($515?) The 12rd mags are readily available from a couple different sources if your state allows them. I bought a couple online for 35 bucks a piece. The gun ships with 10rd magazines.

For those of you that have completed the FFDO training, what kind, or type of belt do you recommend that is good and sturdy for the holster?

I was finally approved and will be attending training in late September.

Get a riggers belt. You can pick one up at the exchange on the base when you get there. Try it on before you buy it... they run small.

Or you can try here: OfficerStore.com: Yates: Last Chance Belt This looks to be the kind that the FAMS instructors wear.

The tighter and wider your belt-the better while you're at the range.Good luck.

sorry for the stupid question, but for those in the know, the form states: Copy of a Federal Firearms License (FFL), signed in ink by license
holder, where you wish to have your HK USP40 Compact shipped
(usually a local gun shop or sporting goods store).

If you are not a FFDO and don't have a carrying permit, how does one have a FFL? and can the weapon not be shipped to your home?

thanks in advance for the help

You do not need to have a Federal Firearms License to own or carry a weapon, but you do have to have one to ship or receive modern firearms.

If you're looking to have a gun shipped to you, most local guns shops will accept shipments for a marginal ($20-30) fee.

The weapon CANNOT be shipped to your house ( see Lee Harvey Oswald ) and it must go thru a local shop. Most smaller shops will do this for a small fee, or gratis if they are law enforcement friendly. FFL -Federal Firearms License, is so you can sell to the general public.

thanks for the response. glad to see the gun shops and sporting good stores have their hand in the cookie jar for simply accepting the weapon on your behalf. still, a good deal with the discount HK is offering.

thanks for the info on the FFL as well. I'm up to speed, time to scrape up my meager regional FO wages and make the purchase.

Here's another tidbit I'm not sure has been mentioned in this thread: you can buy any Glock at the LEO price from any gun shop that does law enforcement sales...and all you have to do is show your Commercial or ATP certificate!

Here's a link to the form...

In their defense, the transfer of a firearm by an FFL holder requires some paperwork. Since gun shops are a business, I don't see anything wrong with charging a nominal fee for this service. You may be able to find an FFL holder that is willing to do it for free.

Personally I like the Glocks better, and they offer great deals to pilots.
