Diablos. Mi sueño de un día adquirir una Glock se van desvaneciendo 🥲
GLOCK-GATE
Glock just discontinued their entire commercial lineup—Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 models and announced a new V series.
The only survivors? Their Slimline series (43, 43X, 48).
Everything else stops shipping November 30th—including the 17 and 19 that have been the backbone of law enforcement for decades, plus the 22, 23, 26, 34, and 35.
They're calling it "streamlining the portfolio"—but it's happening right as lawsuits pile up over conversion risks.
The "Glock switch" is real: a tiny illegal device—that can be 3D printed in a home setup—converts a semi-auto Glock into a fully-automatic machine pistol. ATF demos show it in action.
How the Glock switch works:

Legal pressure is mounting—states and cities have sued, bans are spreading. California just banned NEW Glock sales (existing owners grandfathered).
Glock will continue to service discontinued models, but won't sell them new.
Stock is disappearing quickly. If you want a battle-tested legacy Glock, now is the time.

No, they're coming out with the V, and then after that should be the Gen 6, but that means a reworking of internal parts they say are improvements, but it seems the urgency is more to prevent them from being "readily converted" into a machine pistol. I think it's a losing battle—conversions will always happen, but according to sources you still have ~30 days to get a new dependable battle-tested model. Also, they're not being recalled, so there's always the used market.
Hmm ok. Vi el video y entiendo la preocupación por las modificaciones. Gracias por la información intentaré hacerme con una pronto. 👌🏼
