Overview

  • An Instagram story from retailer GlockStore claimed most Glock pistols would end on November 30, leaving the 43, 43X and 48X and introducing anti‑conversion “V Models.”
  • Glock has issued no public announcement confirming a sweeping discontinuation or any details about the alleged “V Models.”
  • The company’s website lists several legacy Gen3 and Gen4 pistols, and some Gen5 SKUs, as discontinued with a stated plan to streamline the commercial portfolio.
  • Newsweek reported it could not verify third‑party claims of internal confirmation and said Glock had not responded to requests for comment.
  • California’s newly signed AB 1127 will prohibit sales of Glock models readily modified with “switches” starting July 1, 2026, a legal backdrop referenced in coverage of the rumors.
