Terp Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Even as a certified armorer, non-LEO clowns like myself can't order minus connectors from the mothership (and doubt the Chief of Police is going to sign-off on it, either). So does everyone just suck it up and pay the 526% markup (or use aftermarket parts), or is there a source that sells them for a more reasonable, say, 3x the price on the price sheet? I like to stay stock and like the '-' connector, but don't want to scrounge from the G34 to drop one in the G45 I plan to use for CO. edit: ...and somewhat refuse to pay $25.99 for a $3.99 part.

JD45 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I wish I knew. I need a few. There are stock connectors and the + online for like $5.25, but the - 3.5 is $25 or more. Why?? Its the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's because they, too, need to jump through hoops to acquire them, so they mark them up....but 500%+ is absurd. People pay it, so they continue to do it (like drop-in triggers that cost 50% of what a whole new gun costs). I might call down to the Sheriff's department and see what I can do; maybe they'll understand and help me out before they are dissolved by the defund wackos.

OdinIII Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Could they refund themselves with the 526% markup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Good Luck if you expect to get an OEM minus connector for $5 which slightly more than the cost of shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 The cheapest I ever got one for was 19.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwards30 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I typically buy any I find on other forums when people go aftermarket. So far I haven’t bought any for $20 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Some guy on Glocktalk sells them for $18 shipped. I've never purchased from him so don't take this as an endorsement, but seems like a bunch of other people have purchased from him in this thread: https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/new-factory-glock-3-5-pound-connectors.1661590/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18111811 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 those prices are nuts. my agency sent me to the armorer course at the beginning of this year, and the armorer price list has It listed as a 3 dollar part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 those prices are nuts. my agency sent me to the armorer course at the beginning of this year, and the armorer price list has It listed as a 3 dollar part.You should order 100 of them. I doubt you’ll have any trouble selling them very quickly at $10.99 each...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most on this forum know that already and many on here are Glock Armorers. . Like Cuz said order 100 and see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. $3 each. Don't forget about this lovely statement though... "LE agency ONLY (Chief or Sheriff Authorization & Signature required)". ONLY. This is why other folks have mentioned trying to have a Sheriff sign for em. It's also why they run about $20-$25 to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
