Where does everyone go for these? I haven't purchased any in a few years and the guy I used to buy from is out of business. I need 2 of each item in the title, as well as an armorers tool, and a few recoil, extractor and firing pin springs. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Midway has OEM slide stops and mag releases, probably springs too. I got my dad an OEM 3.5 connector from GlockParts.com (http://glockparts.com/Products.aspx?CAT=705) so he could keep his Gen 1 G17 all OEM parts. Right now they're back ordered.

thats what I found too on the connectors, it appears that no one has the OEM glock ones for a reasonable price.

Because Glock doesn't sell them like they used to anymore. I believe Glock Armorers can order them only as replacement parts for G34/35s or LEOs with a department letterhead.

I don't know if it's true and don't even remember where I read this, but the reason OEM Glock 3.5 connectors are still being found online is because G34s and G35s are being parted out in Europe. Possible bullshit, so don't quote me on that.

For Glock OEM ( - ) connectors, this is a great source.

I have bought form this seller before and I would buy again, without hesitation. They are a little expensive but that's what happens with these things.

I've purchased all my 3.5lb connectors from smittywee and his prices are good and he's a good guy to deal with.

I just picked up 2 through eBay. Unfortunately he charges shipping for each one you buy.

No problem. His prices were better than anyone else I found, most other sources charge $25 for the connector.

I ordered three last night, and learned that the hard way too. I sent a note with my order, so he called today and explained the shipping issue. Basically, he wants $20 a pop for 'em, which is still OK for OEM connectors w/o proving G34/35 ownership or having agency letterhead. Not as good as $15 though.....

Kind of off topic, but where can I get Vickers Extended Slipe Stop.
Ive looked pretty much everywhere.

he gave me discounted shipping for ordering 2. It was like $39 for both shipped.

Mine came to $57.47 for three, so I was wrong, it's $19 a copy. He threw in a little blister pack of TW25B for good will, and also gave me some helpful suggestions. No complaints really, I was just surprised at the shipping until it was explained to me. I wanted three connectors, so it is what it is.

Just got a long voicemail from him explaining the process on how they come up with the price. It all makes sense, and it's still a good price. I would've paid for the $5.00 shipping a piece at the price he is selling them, I just thought I would ask as $5.00 shipping a piece seemed high based on the weight. In reality its not the shipping your paying for at $5.00 a part, but it is all built into the individual price. I hope that makes sense. I don't think he needed to explain himself at length as he did, two full voicemails to get it all in, but I appreciate the effort. I would definitely purchase from him again.

He explained the same thing to me while I was on the phone with him for 15 minutes discussing all things Glock. My thoughts on the weight of the part, and how many could be stuffed into an envelope were the same as yours. He's basically trying to minimize the Ebay fee, and I can't blame him.
