Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Glock discontinuing its popular double-stack pistol models?

Glock is discontinuing most double-stack models like Gen 3, 4, and 5 due to significant legal pressure, particularly from California's AB 1127, which bans firearms easily convertible to machine guns. This forces a product redesign to avoid lawsuits and potential bankruptcy.

What is the new Glock V-Series?

The Glock V-Series is a redesigned line of pistols intended to replace discontinued double-stack models. Its primary feature is an engineering modification that prevents the installation of 'switch' devices, thus making it impossible to convert the firearm into a machine pistol.

What is California Assembly Bill 1127?

California Assembly Bill 1127, set to take effect in 2026, prohibits the sale or manufacture of pistols that can be readily converted into machine guns. This legislation is a key driver behind Glock's decision to redesign its product line.

What are the legal challenges facing Glock?

Glock faces numerous lawsuits across states like California, Illinois (Chicago), Minnesota, and New Jersey, primarily related to allegations that their firearms are used in crimes due to modifications, especially the use of 'switches' to create machine pistols.
