Austrian gun company Glock is making waves after it was revealed that the company plans to discontinue a large portion of its pistols starting in November.
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.

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....
