Glock is reportedly discontinuing non-compact pistol models due to lawsuits. These lawsuits hold Glock responsible for the illegal modification of their firearms, specifically the use of 'switches' that convert semi-automatic pistols into fully automatic ones.

What is the 'Glock Switch' and why is it controversial?

A 'Glock Switch' is an aftermarket device that replaces the backplate on a semi-automatic Glock pistol, enabling it to fire in fully automatic mode. It's controversial because it facilitates illegal firearm modifications, leading to legal pressure on Glock.

What changes can be expected in the new Glock V series?

The new Glock V series is expected to undergo a redesign to prevent easy conversion using switches. This will likely involve changes to the backplate and trigger mechanism. Initial versions may also omit MOS optic cuts.

Will the new Glock V models have MOS optic cuts?

According to preliminary information, the initial release of the Glock V series may not include MOS (Modular Optic System) options. The speaker speculates that they will likely be iron sights only at first, with MOS versions potentially following later.
