I bought a SA 1911 through the program and saved a good bit of money. I went through South Dakota Arms Co. For the purchase and they are good people to deal with.

Are RN's part of Firstline? As and RN and gun owner I was wondering if we qualify as well.

I wish I could but I don’t. For been a member of the MCL (associate member) it disqualifies me still.

It's a shame Nurses aren't considered. Where do all of those trauma victims that EMT's bring in go? ER and OR Nurses see some serious stuff and I've known a few attacked coming in on call for drugs. That's why my wife carries a 1911 Ronin

I do qualify but cannot find anyone here locally that has the program. For that matter when I look online for a dealer most of the time the Firstline guns are out of stock.

I don't have a Firstline dealer in my area either. If you call SA customer service they will put you on to a Firstline dealer. That's how I ended up with South Dakota Arms. They shipped to my LGS and I had it within a week.

Have you tried ordering it? Good LGS will do that for you (not like what happened to me).

I’ll have to see what they have.

Only Firstline dealers in the program

Only Firstline dealers in the program

I understand that. Each manufacturer does it and only a select LGS does for each manufacturer. I can participate in Glock blue label program but the last LGS kinda screwed stuff up (they were a blue label dealer).

Also my LGS participates in the S&W American Guardian Program on which is the same as SA program.

I do encourage people that do qualify to participate in this program if possible. I try to tell anyone I know in person the same thing. If help is needed please let me know.

It appears we're left out, we were heroes during the Pandemic then cast aside when it ended.

For those that are interested (or can) in purchasing FirstLine product online, Primary Arms usually has a pretty good selection unless looking for the most popular items (and they seem to restock them along the way). They also have a first responder program that might save you just as much on other guns.

As a school administrator, I go through the occasional thought exercise about educators carrying a gun. I have my CCL outside of work and respect a law abiding citizenry. In the work we do and my wonderings keeping our children as safe as possible, I go back and forth for whether educators (with training) should be able to access their firearms at work. I give my vote to them being able to participate in this program as a nod to the positions they put themselves in daily and in some cases the sacrifices they make without the ability to truly defend.

I bought a Firstline. Springfield Echelon Compact for $590. It included 3 magazines and a nice loader and came in a paper box. Some you who got the Gear Up models probably did just as well.
