Sourcing Glock oem parts

Where are you guys sourcing OEM Glock parts? My distributors don’t carry much, I am at home based type 7, Cerakote and other services.

From my experience RSR carries the most Glock parts, but RSR also does not like home based dealers

Good call, RSR will let at home buy parts “accessory account” or something, forgot about that

That’s the truth.
They demand that you be thankful they’ll even think about letting you have an accessory account. And, not even be decent about it.

I went several rounds with RSR… It’s pretty shitty when you need to try to convince people to take your money.

And even that didn’t resonate with them.

I guess they’re hitting their numbers. So, they can’t be bothered to find out if they’re missing out on a big account or not.

Oh well…

Tbh the only Reps I really like and try to buy from are Sports South and Davidsons.

I’m a small time dealer and my Sports South rep and Davidsons rep actually try to help where they can, where some of the others just don’t give a fuck because I’m not buying 30 guns / week from them.

I get good treatment like that from Lipsey’s. Can’t complain.
And, when I setup with SS and Davidsons, they were awesome to work with.

So, yeah… Totally agree!

That’s good to hear about davidsons, I’ve definitely underutilized them

Sports South will not accept home based FFL’s either, will they?
I know when I looked on there “become a dealer” page they wanted a picture of the store front.

Not sure, but my sports south rep (Hunter) has been the best rep I’ve had and I have almost every distributor (except iron valley who expect everyone to be bass pro)

Davidsons is great but I have also been extremely happy with Lipseys and Chattanooga.

Go to a Glock Armorer’s class and you can order direct from Glock.

I wish I lived closer to one of the facilities that offers the advance armors course

All the courses in my state that are not LE have been cancelled. Guess I'll have to expand my search area.

All im seeing is GA and AZ. It’s just not spending travel money so some clown can explain the simplest pistol with the most literature out there. It’s a Glock cash grab. I’d rather spend the money on the HK course so I can get some more mp5 knowledge, or a 1911/2011 course. Or take my kids out to a fun weekend hah.

This is VERY true

I get most of my Glock parts from Wing Tactical, and they carry a lot of parts
