Glock is reportedly ceasing shipments of most of its firearm lines by the end of the month due to ongoing lawsuits concerning the ease of attaching auto sears ('switches'). While compact models like the 43, 43X, and 48 are expected to continue shipping, other models will be affected. Glock is anticipated to implement internal modifications, potentially including the cruciform and striker fire system, to address these legal challenges. Initial post-change batches may not feature MOS (Modular Optic System) compatibility.

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 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.
