Question about GT Distributors in Austin

[Armybrat]

Can a non-LEO purchase a handgun in their store?

I've "heard" that as long as it is not a LEO-type issue weapon, a civilian can. Is that correct or not?

I'm looking for a Kahr .45, and don't believe those are ussued by any kind of law enforcement agency.

 

[SIG_Fiend]

That's correct. As far as I remember, there are certain brands they won't sell to non LEO/Mil/First responders. I believe these are S&W, Springfield, Colt, Glock, Sig Sauer, and one or 2 others. They usually have lots of used stuff there that they will sell though.

I know Ruger, S&W and Kahr are available to anyone. Glock, Sig, Springfield and others are not. All used guns are available to anyone. Their website tells beside each gun if they are restricted. If it doesn't say, it isn't.

 

[Armybrat]

Thanks for the quick replies, guys.

GT is selling Glock to civilians now. You don't get the LEO/Dept price but I wanna say it is around $525 for your standard models. Sig etc. are still off limits though.

You are correct

This might have more to do with FET than GT Distributors.

The best thing at GT's is the used counter, and they sell all their used to stuff to everyone.

How are their prices for new and used weapons available for purchase to civilians?

A glock 19 or 26 was $519, and I think anything else is what the site says it is. When I was in there last week, they were helping a civilian purchaser fill out the paperwork (G-something club that offers near law enforcement pricing) and honored it on the spot.

I believe that if you join the GSSF (Glock Shooting Sports Foundation) you can buy 1 glock a year at a discount....I dont stay up on GSSF stuff anymore

GT's is having Glocktoberfest next weekend. Not sure if open to the public on sale stuff or not. Check their website. GT Distributors

GT is a great place for used arms. As the salesman said to me when I bought my stripped lower 2 weeks ago, they have a ton of deals on Gen3 Glocks. Departments are trading them in for Gen4s. I think there were some Gen2s somewhere north of $200. Don't quote me on that though. They might have been snatched up during Glocktoberfest.

Gen 2 22s were $289 last time I was in the shop.

 

[SteveSpread]

most of the deals on used guns go quick there. hard to get a $150 scattergun unless you get there right when they are put out for sale.

 

[Texan2]

I got a retired LE shotty for $129

 

[robin303]

I bought 2 Glocks from GT. The 1st was a 23 at $398 and then my 17 at $425. You can only get one per year at that price if your a GSSF member for only $35 per year. Takes about 6 weeks to get the packet. The money you save can buy a lot of ammo.

I dropped by today for some BenchMade knife deals. The place was crazy busy...I wonder if it is always like that(3PM Friday). They have some nice GWP deals on boots, lights, apparel, firearms, darned near every category.
