Im trying to purchase a Glock 17 Gen 4 but according to a local gunshop, that gun is only legal for LEOs. Since my son is a LEO can he buy it and transfer it to me legally ??

He can only buy it for himself.
If he buys it for you, then it would be a straw purchase and a Federal felony.

If at a later time period he no longer wants it, then he can sell/transfer it to another person.
The firearm can not include any large capacity magazines.

You can also find a place that will convert it to a single shot and then transfer it.

When does the "gift" provision kick in? E.g., LEO son is buying Gen4 Glock as a Father's day gift for dad..

Instructions from 11a on Page 4 of 4473:

Question 11.a. Actual Transferee/Buyer: For purposes of this form, you are the actual transferee/buyer if you are purchasing the firearm for yourself or otherwise acquiring the firearm for yourself (e.g., redeeming the firearm from pawn/retrieving it from consignment, firearm raffle winner). You are also the actual transferee/buyer if you are legitimately purchasing the firearm as a gift for a third party. ACTUAL TRANSFEREE/BUYER EXAMPLES: Mr. Smith asks Mr. Jones to purchase a firearm for Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith gives Mr. Jones the money for the firearm. Mr. Jones is NOT THE ACTUAL TRANSFEREE/ BUYER of the firearm and must answer "NO" to question 11.a. The licensee may not transfer the firearm to Mr. Jones. However, if Mr. Brown goes to buy a firearm with his own money to give to Mr. Black as a present, Mr. Brown is the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm and should answer "YES" to question 11.a.

Bold added by me and underline being the section where if it is planned as a gift from son to father this should be good to go in my non lawyer opinion.

For that to work, father can not give the son any money for the firearm.
OP's post indicated he wanted to purchase (pay for it), which would not be allowed under the gifting.

Have son give it to you. Then have him sell you a $600 candy bar.
