Austrian gun company Glock revealed company plans to discontinue a large portion of its pistols starting in November.
Glock issued a statement on October 21, 2025, regarding the leak of the company’s plans. “Yesterday, a retailer NOT affiliated with GLOCK Inc. made premature statements concerning the availability of certain GLOCK pistols. The individuals making these representations are not authorized to speak for GLOCK.
As part of GLOCK’s commitment to future innovations, we are making necessary updates to our product line to align with upcoming offerings. Our dedication continues to be with maintaining the highest level of quality, reliability, and accessibility that you expect from GLOCK.
The GLOCK V Series is here to establish a baseline of products while simplifying our processes.”
According to the company, V models will be available December 2025 and will include the following models:
- G17 V
- G19 V
- G19X V
- G45 V
- G26 V
- G20 V MOS
- G23 V
- G23 V MOS
- G21 V MOS
- G44 V
Glock also said that distributor exclusive models will be available, including:
- G19C V
- G45C V
- G17C V
- G19X V MOS TB
Rumors on the New Lineup
Glock Store posted about Glock’s plans on social media, saying they’d received word that all Glocks will soon be discontinued except for the Glock 43, 43X, and 48X.
According to Glock Store, the discontinued models will be usurped by all new Glock models known as “V Models.”
The newer pistols will not come in MOS formats upon launch but will include features that prevent Glock pistols from being used along with switch conversion kits that make them full auto.
Pew Pew Tactical reached out to Glock for comment but received no word by the time of publishing. We confirmed with multiple sources close to the company, though, that they too have been informed that starting November 30, 2025, Glock will stop shipping the discontinued models.
That said, Glock’s own webpage lists popular models like the Glock 17, Glock 17 MOS, Glock 19 Gen 4, and more as discontinued. According to the page, the decision to cut models out of the lineup was a strategic one.

“In order to focus on the products that will drive future innovation and growth, we are making a strategic decision to reduce our current commercial portfolio,” the company said.
“This streamlined approach allows us to concentrate on continuing to deliver the highest-quality and most relevant solutions for the market.”
Though Glock says the move is to provide a more focused lineup for consumers, California just announced last week that it was banning the sale of pistols that could be converted to “machineguns” — effectively putting an end to sales on most Glock pistols and Glock clones in the state.

Though Glock appears to be discontinuing some pistols, it does say support will remain for owners of discontinued models.
Pew Pew Tactical is tracking this story and will update it as more info is available.

She ought to know…
One of the newest Glock patent ; WO2024152074A2
This would be a good time for Glock to correct many of it's short cummings like the ergonomics and shitty trigger. But Glock being with out any innovation at all you won't see it.
It is confusing (WTH, Glock?), because they call the newest pistols the "V" model, and we already have a Gen 5 series. What is the Roman numeral for 5? V! Why not just call them Gen 6?
I suspect this is ALL about making Glocks incompatible with full-auto switches (ie, illegal conversion). Maybe that will take the heat off them politically in some states?
Glock didn't confirm anything.
You saw a rumor go viral and wanted to try and grab some clicks, so you threw together a "story".
We received an email from Glock confirming that the Gen 4 and Gen 5 are out and they are pursuing the V series. We take sourcing seriously here.
Glocks are for girls
Are you waiting for an English teacher?
Is it, though? Virtually every other handgun manufacturer already can’t be converted with a switch. Glock was reasonably unique in being potentially able to. Yes, I’m disappointed they’re changing, but maybe we should be more angry at California (where our actual outrage belongs). Getting mad at Glock for having to adapt to the stupidity of a state with 30 million+ existing and potential customers (and the 7th largest economy in the world) is shortsighted and misplaced. Let’s focus on changing the laws so tyrants and anti-freedom politicians can’t find a job at a convenience store, let alone hold office.
Complying with the tyrants' demands is worthy of outrage as well. It empowers them.
So the “retailer NOT affiliated with GLOCK Inc.” (Lenny Magill) “made premature statements concerning the availability of certain GLOCK pistols”. But his “premature statements” yesterday were confirmed by GLOCK today LOL!
Oh man. I just wish we had 6+ other major manufacturers with various price points to choose from. Time of crack open a Miller Lite I guess.

Well just seen a G45 Gen5 for 480.00 wonder if that is good deal and just go get it.
4th largest economy in the world. Good luck with that, though I do share the sentiment.
Opportunity to clean up naming convention missed. Regardless it's a bending of the knee to anti rights minions.
V = VASECTOMY
Shove the woke glock V straight up your Gaston
Where has Glock made this statement that you are quoting? Link Please.
Hey Drew, as part of my reporting I reached out to Glock via email and asked about the rumors. A day later, Glock’s marketing team sent out an email with the direct quote featured in the article. There is no link since it came to my email but if there had been, I would have most definitely linked that as we take sourcing very seriously.
Enough of this bowing down to California crap. If they want to go full authoritarian that doesn't mean every other state is going to follow in their footsteps. Isolate them and force them to either accept products or do without.
Apparently the California market dictates what the manufacturer decides to produce.
Time to buy as many police trade-ins as possible (especially Gen 4s!), wait 10 years, and sell for 10x the price! No lowballers. I know what I have.
I've got a gen 4 model 20. 10mm never been shot. Lol. Maybe I will hang on to it. Been considering trading it.....
What cowards, remove 13% solve so many problems
We waiting....
