I am going to be attending an Glock armorers school soon and I was curious- has anyone here attended one and what glock parts do you get for on the cheap?

Also interested. Please let us know how it was. When are you scheduled to take the course?

They gave my class the orange back plate that you can use to inspect the contact between the trigger bar and firing pin, and a Glock Armorer's tool.

The instructor also bashed all of the "internet armorers" who recommend such things as polishing the internals to a mirror finish.

Class is in April.  When you took the class, did they tell you about getting Glock factory parts at 1/2 price?  I heard that was included with the certificate- getting factory parts at a discount.  If so, what parts are included?  Barrels, slides, mags???

I don't know about 1/2 price but I think we can get them at the list price directly from GLOCK.     They gave us an order form that we could use but I can't say what happened to mine.

I usually order parts from OMB express or Brownells, the prices weren't that much different IIRC.

i've been too 2 classes.the parts are quite a bit cheaper,but orderin from them is slow.pins and such are a buck plus tax and shippin.barrels 100 or so if i remember.i quit attendin when they went to 150 for the school.it's fun though,both times i had a delightful lady instructor who was fairly easy on the eyes and funny.most online parts vendors don't mark there stuff up too much,but it was fun class.

I also got a snazzy Glock ink pen.

Just buy the Ptooma manual ($30).  It will teach you more than the Glock "armorer" course.

I went to an armorers course yesterday...

The instructor was pretty good, and a lot of literature was given out. The prices that armorers can get parts for seems to be about the same as OMB Police Express, but I haven't done any side by side comparisons.

I also got the orange slide plate, and Glock punch, and a Glock pen. The pen didn't work.

Are you guys LEO and if so did your department have to sign a letter to let you go? Sorry to sound stupid but they are hosting one near my town soon, but, literature says you have to have a letter from your department

no, just a letter from you on a dept. letterhead when you fax the reg. form.

I guess the letter is to confirm you are actually a LEO

While there's nothin' like hands-on instruction from a factory rep, yes, I have that book and it's very informative and in-depth.  Seems to have alot more information than the Glock Armorers Manual I have.
