CPRC: Murders Committed With “Glock Switches” Are Very Rare

Summary

Research by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), published May 27, 2026, found that murders committed with "Glock switches" are extremely rare, with only 20 incidents resulting in 43 deaths between 2021 and May 2026. This data is presented to counter perceived attempts to create a crisis around these already illegal devices to justify further gun control, potentially targeting ordinary Glock pistols.
