I believe they can however any case look for that dealer to have an FFL charge so depending on amount could invalidate the savings.
The standard rate here is 50 bucks (up from 30) per gun
Once small shop here charges 15 bucks so check a few as there could be some that are not in it to make money.

If I understand your question correctly you are asking if you buy a Firstline firearm on line, can you have it sent to an LGS who isn’t a Firstline dealer? I have bought a few Firstline firearms online and the receiving LGS doesn’t seem to even care…they just take the gun, register it in their system, then transfer to me.
They don’t even come up as a Springfield dealer on Springfield’s site, regular or Firstline.

Yes this has been my experience. The last Firstline pistol I bought from South Dakota Firearms and they shipped to my local FFL, who charged me $30 to do the transfer. Firstline dealers can be far and few between.
Without pointing blame as I just don’t know the inner board rooms of what a lot of manufacturers are thinking.
The availability of blue kine dealears and distributors Glock has as well as actual factory supported support on parts and training from armorer to shooting by actual company employees and not a 3rd party contractor is top notch.
Love or hate Glock all the other companies should probably take some notes from how they donut as that had a lot to do with theor brand of success.
S&W is attempting to Tw so the S&W academy but that is in its very early phase and I am not sure they will ever be as established as they were in the 80’s and 90’s

Glock's initial marketing strategy was to get as many guns as possible into the hands of LEO's as quickly as possible. Glock's thinking was, while there wasn't a lot of profit from LE sales, the big payoff would be when the much larger American civilian market jumped in to buy the guns the cops had. The strategy worked.
Yea, and it put them in a position they told the Military to get Bent in 2017 whem the Military told Glock what Sig provided. I believe Gaston’s comment was he is t in business to give away his product to Military’s. Glock released the Glock 19X and sold over 100K of time in less than 90 days….a 1/3 of the Military ordered on the initial contract.
In the early 80’s when Gkick decided to open for commercial sales he supposedly mentioned a price of 200 but his marketing convinced him it was still a bargain at 400 and that’s what they placed the MERP in the US and the rest is history

Every manufacturer is different. Each manufacturer has some sort of armor courses and with glock a person from GSSF can join in. Personally I think Glock isn’t what it used to be and the competition is passing them up. SIG in my book is in a bad spot and needs to figure stuff out. Yes I like the XD lineup of SA but it’s just a rebranded firearm. Germany went with CZ and I like CZ but getting anything over here in the states can be a struggle.
I would respectfully disagree all do not offer armor courses. And even those that do The issue is most don’t allow normal earth people to attend armor courses.
Gkick allows private citizens IF you are GSSF or have a sponsorship by working at a Glock dealer.
Most other places that do offer it like I said is through a third party.
HK has some offerings but you will be hard pressed to find some from Colt Beretta or S&W and most others in a scale Glock does.
Myotonic can probably find several classes a year from Glock withjn a majority being open to non LE/Military within a a 2 hour drive several times a year.
