The video discusses the controversial 'Glock V' model, highlighting how gun control advocates are shifting tactics to pressure manufacturers directly rather than relying solely on legislation. It details how design changes intended to prevent illegal modifications are quickly circumvented, creating a 'liability trap' for manufacturers. The speaker, identified as Hegshot87, draws parallels to historical firearm regulation and calls for industry unity against what he views as illogical pressure.
Brandon Herrera critically examines Glock's V Model, designed to prevent full-auto conversion, revealing it has already been bypassed. He discusses the legal and political motivations behind such designs, particularly appeasing anti-gun groups and avoiding lawsuits. The video also touches on the ATF's regulation of auto sears and the broader trend of advocacy groups targeting other firearm manufacturers like Ruger.
The new Glock V Model shares many similarities with the Gen 5 but features distinct internal slide modifications, including a smaller striker lug and narrower firing pin channel. While visually similar, slide cover plates are not interchangeable. The trigger pull weight remains consistent at 4.25-4.5 lbs. Importantly, the V Model slide can be custom milled for RMR optics, despite lacking a factory MOS version.
Glock is discontinuing most current production models, including the double-stack line, by late November to simplify its catalog and focus on innovation. The 'slim boys' (43, 43X, 48) will remain, while others like the 17, 19, 47, and 49 are phased out. A new 'V Series' will replace discontinued models, featuring internal slide and trigger improvements. Speculation suggests regulatory compliance, such as preventing switch conversions, may be a driving factor.
Glock is reportedly discontinuing all Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 models, excluding slimlines, by November 30th, 2025. These will be replaced by a new 'V' model, primarily designed to prevent full-auto switch installations. Initial 'V' models will be non-MOS, with variations like 19V, 19CV, and 19XV expected soon. The transition is anticipated to begin within 30 days.
