This very much feels like one of those “If you have to ask, you’re out of your depth” kind of questions, but I’ll ask anyway because I’m all about biting off more than I can chew.

If a police department wants, say 100+ Glock COA pistols, where are you guys getting them to fulfill that contract? Does a shop become a certain size that they purchase from Glock direct, instead of the yearly purchase program contracted through a distributor? Do you just call your Glock rep up, or deal with a law enforcement distributor?

This is besides the fact that these guns are deeply allocated, of course. When people say that these guns are all going to contracts instead of going through places like RSR and Sporths South: Where are those guns actually going? Glock to PD direct?

You need a Glock LE distributor.

I use Amchar, Sports South, RSR, etc. for regular stuff. I guess I was assuming there was another level upwards for larger purchases like this.

There’s no way any of my reps would be able to get me 100+ COAs, for example. And with those distributors, I can’t supply a PD with the blue label pistols with night sights already installed.

You need to be a Glock LE dealer, and getting that can be difficult depending on dealer density. DE has 4 LE dealers already and Glock sells direct.  Definitely reach out to Glock to see what they say.

We are a Blue Label Dealer any direct Department purchases not individual officer Glock sales has to be sold directly through Regional LE distributors ie (GT, Kieslers) unfortunately Glock wants Departments to order as close to direct as possible no small dealers :(

This.
If you call Glock and tell them you have a pending order of a hundred pistols, they will ask "for who?".....then they'll steal your buyer.
