Frequently Asked Questions

How has the Glock V Model, designed to be unconvertible, been bypassed?

Despite Glock's design changes to the trigger housing and slide, the aftermarket community has developed modifications, often 3D-printed switches, that successfully bypass these anti-conversion features, allowing for full-auto capability.

What is the ATF's stance on auto sears and 'switches'?

The ATF classifies auto sears and 'switches' as machine guns themselves. This means that possessing or manufacturing these devices can fall under the National Firearms Act (NFA) regulations, requiring proper registration and taxation.

Why did Glock introduce the V Model series?

The Glock V Model series was reportedly introduced to appease anti-gun advocacy groups and mitigate legal challenges, particularly in states like California, where firearms perceived as easily convertible to full-auto are targeted.

Are other firearms besides the Glock V Model being targeted for conversion concerns?

Yes, organizations like Everytown for Gun Safety are also targeting firearms such as the Ruger RXM pistol, a 9mm Glock-style clone, citing concerns about their potential for easy conversion into machine guns.
