Glock is discontinuing all current Gen 3, 4, and 5 non-slimline models by November 30, 2024, replacing them with the 'V Series' (Generation 5.5) starting December 1, 2024. This change is driven by lawsuits alleging 'readily convertible' machine gun capabilities. The V Series features redesigned trigger bars and internal slide modifications to deter conversion, while maintaining frame compatibility for holsters and sights. New models include standard G17, G19, G19X, G45, G26, MOS variants for G20, G21, G23, and distributor exclusives like the G19C V.
The video explores Glock's potential 'V' models, likely introduced to comply with legal pressures, particularly California's ban on the cruciform trigger bar. These 'V' models may incorporate the Glock Performance Trigger, which lacks this component, allowing for easier compliance with state laws and potentially enabling re-introduction of newer generations to restricted markets. This modification also serves to prevent illegal full-auto conversions using aftermarket 'switches'.
