This video discusses the impact of California's 'Glock ban' (AB1127) and Glock's decision to discontinue most models, including roster-approved Gen 3s. It highlights the potential for Glock's new V series to be introduced to the California market due to a specific provision in AB1127 that allows previously rostered firearms to reapply with design modifications. The video also touches on the James V. Bont lawsuit challenging the ban and the ongoing importance of the California Roster of Handguns.

Quick Summary

California's AB1127, termed the 'Glock ban,' targets a specific trigger bar feature, not Glock by name, leading to model removals from the state's handgun roster. Glock is discontinuing many models, including Gen 3s, for a new V series. A provision in AB1127 might allow the V series to be re-added to the roster if modifications are solely for compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is California's 'Glock ban' (AB1127) actually banning?

California's AB1127, often called the 'Glock ban,' doesn't prohibit Glocks by name. Instead, it targets a specific feature: a particular type of trigger bar. This legislation is causing many firearm models to be removed from the state's Roster of Handguns.

Why is Glock discontinuing most of its models, including Gen 3s?

Glock is discontinuing most current models, including roster-approved Gen 3s, in response to upcoming regulations like AB1127. They are reportedly replacing these with a new 'V series' that may not feature certain mandated safety components.

Can Glock's new V series still be sold in California despite the ban?

There's a possibility. AB1127 includes a provision allowing firearms previously on the roster to reapply for certification if they make necessary design changes to comply with the bill. If Glock's V series modifications are solely for compliance, it might be eligible for the California Roster.

What is the California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale?

The California Roster is a list of handgun models that manufacturers have certified as safe and compliant with specific safety features, such as microstamping and loaded chamber indicators. It significantly limits the types of handguns that can be legally sold in California.
