Glock to stop making glocks?

This video discusses a significant rumor circulating in the firearms community: Glock is reportedly discontinuing all existing models, including popular ones like the Glock 19 and 40, by November 30th. The only models expected to remain are the 43X, 48, 43, and 42. This move is speculated to be in preparation for a new 'V Series' of firearms, potentially designed to address concerns about easy conversion to machine guns, which has led to legal challenges in states like California, Illinois, Maryland, and New Jersey. Distributors are reportedly confirming these changes, adding weight to the rumor.

Glock is discontinuing over half of its handgun models, reportedly to prevent the use of 'Glock switches' that convert semi-automatic firearms to full-automatic. The company is transitioning to a new 'V series' line, which will feature updated technology. While existing Glock firearms will still be serviced, the move signifies a major shift in their product strategy, driven by regulatory pressure and the desire to mitigate legal issues.

This discussion delves into Glock's recent product line changes, focusing on the discontinuation of popular generations like Gen 3 and Gen 5, and the introduction of the V Series, which appears to be designed for California compliance. The speakers speculate on the reasons behind these decisions, including potential legal pressures and a strategic business move to access markets like California. They also explore the impact on the aftermarket industry and the potential future direction of Glock with the anticipated Gen 6.

Glock is introducing a new 'V' series of firearms, indicated by a 'V' on the slide and frame, to replace current generation designations. This update is reportedly influenced by the prevalence of Glock switches and pressure from states like California. The initial V series will include approximately 14 models, with specific examples like the G17V, G19V, and various existing models receiving the 'V' designation. Glock emphasizes innovation and reliability as the drivers for these changes, though they do not explicitly mention the switch issue.

This YouTube video's title, "The Glock Switch - Not On THIS Gun..", suggests a discussion or demonstration related to Glock firearms and potentially the controversial "Glock switch" modification, which enables automatic fire. The "Not On THIS Gun.." implies the video might be showcasing a specific Glock firearm that does NOT have this modification, perhaps focusing on its standard features, a particular model, or a contrast with modified firearms. The content likely appeals to firearm enthusiasts interested in Glock pistols, modifications, and discussions surrounding firearm legality or functionality.

Leaked images reveal Glock's new V Series, featuring modified slide internals aimed at addressing legal challenges, particularly concerning the breach area. These changes include raised edges not present on the Gen 5, making it more difficult to install aftermarket 'switches' or auto sears. The video speculates on future attempts to bypass these modifications.
