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.
This video discusses significant news regarding potential changes at Glock, including rumors of discontinuing most models by November 30th, except for the slimline 43, 43X, and 48X. The primary driver appears to be preventing 'switch' conversions, with new 'V' models intended to address this. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, analyzes the implications for firearm compatibility, aftermarket parts, and the company's business strategy amidst potential lawsuits and regulatory pressures.
