Frequently Asked Questions

Why was the Glock 25 discontinued?

The Glock 25, chambered in .380 ACP, was discontinued likely due to market strategy and potentially its previous import restrictions into the US. While popular in South America, it faced regulatory hurdles in the US. Glock may have perceived less market need for a .380 ACP variant of the Glock 19's size, especially with the 9mm Glock 19 readily available.

What are the key differences between the Glock 25 and Glock 19?

The primary difference is caliber: the Glock 25 is chambered in .380 ACP, while the Glock 19 is in 9mm. Physically, they share a similar size, shape, and feel, with the Glock 25 often featuring distinct grip textures. The .380 ACP round offers less recoil than 9mm, making the Glock 25 a softer-shooting option for some.

Who is the Glock 25 .380 ACP best suited for?

The Glock 25 in .380 ACP is well-suited for shooters who find 9mm recoil uncomfortable or excessive. This includes beginners, individuals with less hand strength, older shooters, or anyone seeking a more manageable and comfortable shooting experience in a compact pistol platform similar to the popular Glock 19.

When was the Glock 25 briefly available in the United States?

The Glock 25 was briefly made legal and available for ownership in the United States around December 2023. This availability was short-lived, as the firearm was subsequently discontinued by Glock, making it a rare find for US consumers.
