Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Glock discontinue many of its firearm models?

Glock has discontinued several popular models, introducing the 'V series,' citing a need for 'necessary updates to our product line to align with upcoming offerings' and to 'simplify processes.' This move is widely seen as a response to increasing legal and regulatory pressure, particularly from California's new law banning handguns easily convertible to automatic fire.

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

The 'Glock switch,' also known as an auto sear, is an aftermarket device that allows a semi-automatic Glock pistol to fire in fully automatic mode. It is controversial because it enables illegal machine gun conversion, leading to regulatory scrutiny and lawsuits against manufacturers like Glock, even though Glock does not produce or sell these devices.

How does California's new handgun law affect firearm manufacturers?

California's law bans new sales of semi-automatic handguns that can be easily converted to fully automatic fire, specifically targeting firearms with a 'cruciform trigger bar.' This has prompted manufacturers like Glock to discontinue models that fall under this definition to comply with the ban and avoid legal challenges within the state.

What are the implications of ATF audits for FFLs?

Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) can expect unannounced audits from the ATF to review their bound books. While these audits are standard procedure, they can be disruptive. FFLs are typically given one to two days' notice to be present during these inspections.
