Want To Buy Glock 17, Rem 870 and police gear

[Larry68GMC]

I got selected to attend a reserve police academy. I’m looking to buy a G17, 870 and right handed belt, holsters...etc. Thought I check here first before buying new. Thanks

If you have been hired by a department and they issued you a commission and credentials, you should be eligible for the Glock Blue Label program.

H&H is a Glock LE distributor and the last I heard, the 17 was $425.00 plus local tax.

AIM Surplus has used G17 Gen 3 for $380 with one full capacity mag.

As stated above, if you have been selected to attend a reserve academy, you can use your commission card with GT distributors and buy a blue label Glock for under 400 new; shipping was $20 the last time I purchased from them. I'm surprised they want you to provide a shotgun. CLEET has stopped training new cadets the art of the shotgun.

He might be able to save a few dollars avoiding the local taxes, but the addition of transfer fees at his local FFL may run it back up again. The Aim surplus deal sounds a little more cost effective.

There’s a young pup who is a member of my gun club and shoots competition with us. He started the reserve academy last year and when he came to me with his list of class supplies and equipment, an 870 was on it. My preference would be my Benelli M-1 semi-auto which I qualified with and carried I’m my final years.


I think I still have some belts (don’t know your size) and Bianchi mag pouches and maybe some cuff cases, but my holsters are left handed. PM me and we can talk about it.

Possibly, unless he knows an FFL, he will save money. I do think the AIM surplus is a good route though, but I'd rather pay a few bucks more for a new pistol.

We haven't helped with a reserve academy in a few years, but as of the last year or so, CLEET has gotten rid of the shotgun completely. Of course, us firearms instructors were against it, but CLEET didn't care what we thought. I don't see CLEET having shotgun in their curriculum anymore with reserves, though I'm probably wrong. CLEET has given that responsibility to the sponsoring department to teach shotgun if they want.

I also think I have some items somewhere in storage. I might even have a light bearing 6360.. I'll look and if I can find anything, will PM you.

Last time I checked with them, mags were $20 or so new. That gun comes with one and has night sites.

I’m always in favor of as much training as possible in LE. The shotgun still has its uses if the user knows how and when to use it. I know the rifle has become very popular since I retired, but as the old saying goes, “better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it”. I’d have both.

I'll bet you the Kiesler guns are our old guns we traded in when we moved to the 17M. If so, we sold them to Kieslers with three mags each, and they got about 1700 of them. Funny thing is, they wanted 400, if we wanted to buy our old individually-issued gun.

ETA: apparently I don't read so gud. We traded in G22 Gen 4's.
