Why Glock’s V-Series Could Change Everything for CA Gun Owners in 2025

Colion Noir, an attorney and firearms expert, details how legal pressure, particularly from California's AB 1127, has forced Glock to redesign its popular double-stack pistol lineup.

This strategic move aims to mitigate mounting lawsuits and avoid bankruptcy.
