How to Buy a Glock Online — Complete FFL Guide 2026

Buying a Glock online is legal, simple and secure when done correctly. This complete guide explains exactly how to buy a Glock online through GlockStore19 using our nationwide FFL transfer network.

What is an FFL and Why Do You Need One?

An FFL (Federal Firearms License) is a federal license issued by the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) that authorizes a dealer to sell and transfer firearms. Federal law requires that handguns purchased online must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer in the buyer's state of residence. The FFL dealer is responsible for conducting the NICS background check before releasing the firearm to the buyer.

Finding Your Local FFL Dealer

Most gun shops, sporting goods stores and pawn shops that sell firearms hold an FFL license. Ask your local gun store if they accept transfers from online dealers. Most charge a transfer fee of $20–50. You can also use the ATF's online FFL search tool or call GlockStore19 for help finding a dealer near you.

Background Check — What to Expect

The NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) check is conducted by your FFL dealer through the FBI. Most checks are completed instantly. Some are delayed 3 business days if additional research is needed. By law, if no decision is made within 3 business days, the FFL dealer may proceed with the transfer at their discretion. Prohibited persons under 18 USC 922 will not pass a background check.
