Colion Noir, an attorney and firearms expert, details how legal pressure, particularly from California's AB 1127, has forced Glock to redesign its popular double-stack pistol lineup.

This strategic move aims to mitigate mounting lawsuits and avoid bankruptcy.
This entry details how legal pressures, particularly California's AB 1127 and multi-state lawsuits, are forcing Glock to discontinue popular double-stack models (Gen 3, 4, 5) and replace them with a new 'V Series'.
