Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Glock discontinuing the Gen 5 series?

Glock is phasing out the Gen 5 series to introduce the upcoming V series. This transition is partly driven by the need to incorporate new features like anti-switch mechanisms to address legal concerns regarding firearm modifications.

What are the key features of the new Glock V series?

The Glock V series will include mechanisms designed to prevent the insertion of full-auto switches. It is expected to feature metal blocking points for enhanced modification resistance, making illegal conversions more difficult.

Will the Glock V series look very different from the Gen 5?

The Glock V series is expected to be very similar in appearance and function to the Gen 5. A more distinct 'Gen 6' model is planned for release at a later date, suggesting the V series is an evolutionary step.

What is the impact of the Gen 5 discontinuation on its price?

As Glock Gen 5 models are phased out and become less available, they are already seeing price increases in the market. This is a common trend for firearms when production ceases and demand remains.
