The Gen 6 Glock's development is presented not as a simple product refresh, but as a strategic response to legal pressures concerning illegal auto sear conversions. The preceding V-model served as a transitional phase, incorporating internal changes to address these concerns, while the Gen 6 introduces significant ergonomic and functional upgrades that were long-requested by shooters. This sequence suggests that legal challenges are increasingly influencing firearm design mandates.
This video analyzes the Gen 6 Glock's release in the context of recent lawsuits targeting Glock for its pistols' ease of conversion to full-auto. The speaker argues that the V-series was a transitional model, primarily designed to address legal pressure by making internal changes to hinder auto sear conversions, rather than a significant shooter-focused upgrade. The Gen 6, with its ergonomic enhancements, is presented as the true generational update, but its development is framed as a response to legal challenges and a potential preview of how lawsuits can drive product mandates across the firearm industry.
The Gen 6 Glock's redesign is presented not as a response to shooter demand, but as a direct consequence of mounting lawsuits from cities and state attorneys general. These legal actions, particularly concerning the ease of converting Glocks to full-auto with aftermarket 'switches,' have pressured Glock to alter firearm designs. The preceding 'V' models are characterized as a transitional phase, incorporating internal changes to address conversion risks while the Gen 6 introduces significant ergonomic and feature upgrades, suggesting a strategic response to legal challenges rather than organic product evolution.
The American gun market is shifting away from semi-automatic dominance towards manual action firearms like revolvers and lever guns. This trend is driven by legislative pressures targeting semi-autos, a desire for a lower social profile, market saturation leading to better resale value in manual actions, and global ammo price fluctuations. Additionally, changing demographics, simpler operation, and a focus on homestead defense are contributing factors. Modern manual actions are also seeing significant upgrades, closing the feature gap with semi-automatics.

This strategic move aims to mitigate mounting lawsuits and avoid bankruptcy.
