Frequently Asked Questions

Which Glock handgun models have been discontinued?

Glock has discontinued 25 handgun models, including various generations of the Glock 20, 29, 40, 21, 30, 36, 41, and specific models in .45 GAP, .380 ACP, and .357 SIG calibers. This impacts models like the Glock 20 Gen 4, Glock 29 SF, Glock 40 Gen 4 MOS, Glock 21 Gen 4, Glock 30 S, Glock 36, Glock 41 Gen 4, and all .45 GAP variants (37, 38, 39).

Why is the discontinuation of Glock models significant for states like California?

In states like California with strict magazine capacity limits, the discontinuation of larger caliber firearms is significant. When limited to fewer rounds, owners often prefer more powerful calibers like 10mm or .45 ACP to maximize effectiveness, making the loss of these options impactful for self-defense and utility.

What are the implications of Glock discontinuing .45 GAP models?

The discontinuation of all .45 GAP models (Glock 37, 38, 39) means these firearms will no longer be produced by Glock. This makes existing .45 GAP Glocks potentially valuable collector's items, as Glock has indicated no plans to reintroduce this caliber in future generations.

What calibers are most affected by Glock's recent discontinuation?

The discontinuation primarily affects larger caliber handguns, including 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, .45 GAP, .380 ACP, and .357 SIG. This move shifts focus towards smaller calibers and potentially new generation releases from Glock.
