Northwest Sport Divers (NWSD Dive Center - 425-487-0624) in Kenmore, just north of Seattle, has them, almost always in stock. Your profile says "PNW", so I assume that's reasonably close.
Otherwise, you can find them online. They're "Deep See Dry Comfort Gloves". See here: Deep See: Part of the Aqua Lung Family of Brands If you search around online,
you can find them in the $30-$40 range.
Stay away from the Diving Concepts neoprene gloves...heavy, bulky, no dexterity, and they fail often at the seams, which is why I went to smurf gloves in the first place. The Deep See gloves, on the other hand, are much more form fitting, very warm, and seem very rugged. Much happier, and a lot sturdier than the smurfs I was using.

How would using the dry comfort gloves compare to using a standard wet glove like my 7mil henderson gold core? I'm using smurfs now, but am thinking about moving back to my wet gloves when the water temps get above 50deg.
Dry Comfort gloves are warmer than regular neoprene gloves because there is no water exchange. Once you move up to a drysuit, they slip right on.
I have smurf gloves, too, and use the Dry Comforts all the time.

Josh,
I am a DC dealer and I have them in stock.

Is there any other neoprene glove (except the DC) that one can actually mount on the DC rings to use as a traditional dryglove?

XS Scubab makes a dry 5mm neo glove as well 
Used it all weekend in 42-47 degree water(depended on depth) and was absolutely warm and comfortable...they are made with a pyrostretch(extremely stretchy) neoprene so dexterity is superb.

No matter what glove you get, when putting them off and on, make sure to grab both pieces of material. If you just grab the neo that sticks out further and keeps dry, you will rip it at the seems...just make sure you always grab both pieces and you will have no issues
