Any opinion on the Glock Armorer's Course (1-day, $195)?

 

There's one coming up so I'm wondering if it's worth it?

If you want to know how to completely tear down a Glock and put it back together, yes. You will also learn a considerable amount about how the pistols work, and be able to buy (almost all) parts for Glock pistols direct from Glock at a reduced price.

 

I never regretted taking it, and I'll renew when it's time.

Any other details? I have been thinking about doing this as well.

Where? Everytime I looked one up it was law enforcement only....

Glock's training website has a class listed at RTSP.  Does not say LE Only.  

I'm looking at these as open to GSSF membership.

 

To be eligible to take the Armorers Course you must be an active law enforcement or military officer, private security, GLOCK Stocking Dealer/Range Program Employee or current GSSF member.

I think you can learn the same stuff through videos on you tube and save the money. I have torn down my Glocks to parts and put new parts in. Unless you want to be able to buy parts cheaper from Glock why bother?

 

For $195 you could buy ammo and get better use out of the money. Working on Glock pistols is as easy as putting together an AR lower.

True but the RTSP or Facebook page (forget which) said LE Only

I should have said in my first post that you MUST be either LE, or a member of the GSSF. I am. Forgot about that detail.

 

But joining the GSSF for at least two years brings its own rewards: one coupon per calendar year to purchase a Blue Label gun with the appropriate discount. Note: you must be a member for over a year, or a multi-year member, before you get your first coupon.

I knew back when I'd have more than one Glock, so GSSF and the Armorer's Course made sense for me.

Classes of any kind are always worth it

It was worth it when as an armorer you were able to buy a blue label gun at le pricing. That was a savings. The fact that you could also buy magazines straight from Glock was an added bonus.

 

They have disco's that without even notifying armorers. That was over a year ago. I'm not sure I'm renew unless I absolutely have to. Otherwise, I'll keep my $$.

Honestly you don't need to be am armorer for a glock anyone can take it down and fix anything in it with basic knowledge! The bonus is getting glock prices that's about it
