I came across this information from Cristy – thanks! The original email came from Steve of the Laguna Seca Sport Shooters Association.

Fellow shooters,
This probably does not apply to most of you, but for those whom it does, it’s a great deal. Glock has changed their rules again for extending Law Enforcement discounts to some other groups. Bottom line is that you may purchase a brand new Glock pistol for $425.00 + tax and DROS if you are in one of the following groups:
Sworn Law Enforcement Officers or Federal Agents, Retired Law Enforcement Officers or Retired Federal Agents with “retired” credentials, Corrections Officers, including Parole & Probation Officers, State licensed Security Companies, State licensed Armed Security Officers, Active Military, National Guard, or Military Reserve personnel (all branches), including Retired Military with “retired” credentials only, Licensed Para- Medics or EMTs, Fire Fighters (including volunteers) with appropriate I.D., Court Judges, District Attorneys and Deputy District Attorneys, LE Academy Cadets with enrollment documentation from the academy.
If you are one of these people you can purchase a “blue label” pistol at either Markley’s in Watsonville or LC Action in San Jose. These are the only Glock “blue label” dealers I’m aware of in our area. I bought my Glock 17 a few years ago through this program.
Happy shooting,
Steve
If you belong to one of these groups, you may want to check into finding a Blue Label Glock dealer and get a nice discount. After all, you can always have another firearm.
I ordered up some of those Covert Tactical 5.11 pants, in 30×32. As one reviewer stated, the length is about 1/2-3/4″ longer than their standard tactical pants. However, the waist is probably 2″ larger! Bummer. May have to look into having pleats sewn into the front to gather up the waist a bit. They have a much better expanding waist design than the standard pants do, and it looks better. If I had known, I would have gone for the 28″ waist, since it seems it would be more comfortable if slightly undersize, than the original pants are. ‘Course, that is predicated on this batch of pants being correctly marked. Possible they are missmarked 32″. Anyone have some info on this problem? I’m guessing that doublestack .45 mags won’t fit in the hidden mag pockets. I can get .40 s&w Glock, and .45acp 1911 mags into them, but it’s a snug fit. So snug, that the mag bases keep them from going deeper, which is good, since I use short mags.That hidden thigh pocket is mighty small, might keep a cell phone in it, or a folder, but not anything much wider. Really well hidden. If you loose the zipper tab you won’t be using it, or finding it, for that matter. Just tried a full size 1911 mag, and it fits with wiggle room, but a Beretta 950 won’t.
