I was a member in the 90's and shot lots of Glock sanctioned matches in the US. Back then membership was for a year.
Question:
Do all Glock products imported into Canada come in through PoliceOrdanance.com or not?
Because after reading their website, and seeing that they offer a discount to "anyone who was involved with LE/Mil/Paramedics/etc..." before they moved to Canada just pissed me off something FIERCE.
They get a discount because they worked for a day as an EMT in Romania, but I don't because I happen to have been born here? You're joking, right?
Screw them AND Glock if that's the case. I'll send my money elsewhere.

That's the problem. I have to pay $35 to get a discount, while that same discount is offered with zero stipulations and no upfront cost to anyone who just arrived in Canada and worked in the above occupations.
Evidently this is a "Glock" sponsored program, and I have a problem with that.
Easy now. I think they are mostly an authorized leo dealer and a Glock stocking dealer supplier. They also can give out good deals to officers and emt, it might because they are a LEO dealer. I don't think all glock products in Canada come through Police ordnanace. That's my take on it.
Negative.
As far as I understand it, Police Ordnance is the only importer and distributor of Glock in Canada.
There are at least two GLOCK distributors in Canada.
The second is sporteque.ca in Quebec, which also really pushes the GSSF discount.
Both it and Police Ordnance claim to be the top seller of GLOCK pistols to LE organizations.
The rules for discounts are made by GLOCK, not by the distributor.
Sporteque's price on the G22 gen 4 with the same trijicon night sights is $560.

I saw the sporteque site a month ago and contemplated going the GSSF route. Good find. Thanks for letting us know.
Last time I paid a visit to Sporteque they explained me that they're distributor and no one can beat their price. Other retailer keep crying about the fact that their price is too low so GLOCK requires them to sell GSSF membership for them to provide "LEO" pricing to the general public. This "workaround" increase their pricing by 35$ but they're still imo, the cheapest around. Even cheaper if you live outside "La belle province" and save the 7.5% TVQ...
That's where I got mine

The discounted price in Canada is the same as the regular retail price in the US.
Questar was bringing GLOCKs in from the US and undercutting all the regular retailers, but GLOCK threatened to cut off any US distributor who sold to Questar. Now Questar only sells baby GLOCKs, with aftermarket Canadian legal barrels, at high prices.
You have to wonder if GLOCK is charging more for the guns to the distributors in Canada or if the distributors or the retailers are just taking bigger profits.
A lot of guns like STI and Kimber sell close to the US MSRP in Canada. I wonder why GLOCKs are so much more expensive here than in the states.

If Glock is using a few unfair pricing policies, it isn't the end of the world. A lot of the products we use every day have pricing that seems to be pulled out of a hat.
Look at the car industry, if you want to really lose your cool. For decades the big three have been tagging the price of Canadian vehicles 10% to 20% higher than their US counterparts. They also made it difficult to buy from US distributors. Funny how that practise ended so quickly, when everyone caught on.
