Here's a link to the form...

Thanks for the form. I couldn't find it in the form where pilots would qualify?

Look into what it takes to get a FFL. It's not that simple and the record keeping is fairly strict. They also have to run the background check before they transfer the gun. I thought about getting mine, but in the long run, it is not worth it. Much cheaper to pay the occasional $20-25 for the transfer.

It doesn't actually say that on the form, but if you call Glock's service department they'll confirm it.

I know a few folks who have ordered theirs via this form and a copy of their pilot certificate, and others who made the purchase at a Glock LEO dealer in person.

If I didn't already have a P229 and a G19, I'd be all over this...

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

Riggers belt is great for training, but not very good for uniform wear. If you only plan to buy one gun belt, I would suggest putting the money for a riggers belt towards something along the lines of Galco Dress Gun Belt... It's just a super reinforced belt designed to handle the extra weight of a firearm, but otherwise just a normal looking belt that doesn't scream shoot me first. Here is a linky to a my favorite belt on Galco's website, but I ordered mine from MidwayUSA for about $60. It's well worth the money either way and you probably need a new dress belt anyway.

Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

HK shipped the gun directly to the Cabelas store, charged my credit card, notified me that it was shipped to Cabelas.

I went to the store and picked it up - no extra charge from Cabelas.

Sweet deal - almost a $400 discount off Cabelas price!

I like the HK better. Machining is better and no stamped parts never had a feed problem. Easy to break down and clean. Trigger design is the same just better executed on the HK. Magazine has a floor plate design problem which can show up if your not carefull, base displaces and doesn't allow the magazine to lock in place.
