Big Glock Changes!!!

[CTS Tactical]

No one is forcing Glock? I thought the lawsuits and California shenanigans was a big part of all this…

All that is just speculation. Why would Glock care about what is happening in California. Why for that matter would they care if someone figured out how to modify their guns? I can go on GB right now for $120 and buy everything I need to make an AR15 into a select fire weapon. All perfectly legal. Still not legal to install it.

It's possible that the California laws may have caused Glock to potentially bring forward the release of the new models.

What Glock will have to do to sell those guns in California (even if they have redesigned them to not be compatible with 'Glock Switches") is to submit the models they want included for California DOJ-certified laboratories for an extensive set of tests and evaluations, of every variant they want to sell. These tests are expensive and time-consuming to process (deliberately so) and once completed the reports are submitted to the California DOJ for approval and the payment of the appropriate fees in order to be "on-roster".

Life will become even more fun in 2028 when California's "microstamping' requirements are put in place. Some models of handguns look like they'll be grandfathered in, but some won't. Any new submissions for inclusion on the roster will need to meet these higher standards, presumably needing additional or more extensive tests by California DOJ-certified laboratories.

In any case, once those hoops have been jumped through and that model is on the roster it may be sold and transferred to residents of the State of California for as long as the model remains on the roster.

If the model is removed from the roster, at which point you can't sell it in a private transfer and may not under some circumstances even give it to a family member. You're pretty much limited to selling it out of state via an FFL or just selling it to an FFL (California FFLs are not subject to roster limitations when purchasing a firearm)

In short, Glock are going to have to spend some money and presumably lose some sales while they get their selected models on the Califonia roster. Presumably, California residents will eventually have the same kind of restricted choice in Glock models that they have today.

Possible sure. Very unlikely in my opinion.

When you speak it "The ODT" shall listen! Totally makes sense though

My guess is that it will be some variation of the Glock Performance Trigger.

 

[aFarewellToKings]

So, Glock is going from Gen 5 to Gen V?

Will the next be Gen VI or Gen W?

 

[Jamescg]

That didn’t take long!

 

[Gixxer]

Took about as long as expected.

This is why I still say that the switch had nothing to do with Glock's decision to replace earlier versions. That made no sense at all.

People will go full retard on ODT for absolutely no reason.
