In about two weeks, Glock will stop shipping numerous pistol variants that the company says are low-volume SKUs, others that need modernizing, and, perhaps, because some were too easily convertible to machine pistols.
New versions of the discontinued Glocks will be called Gen V and are expected to be available in December 2025.
Why is Glock discontinuing so many models? A company release said:
“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. This streamlined approach allows us to concentrate on continuing to deliver the highest-quality and most relevant solutions for the market.”

Glock said the discontinued models will still be supported through parts and service.
Because of the way Glocks are built, recent lawsuits from states like New Jersey and Minnesota accused the company of facilitating machine gun conversions via illegal Glock switches. Also, California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed AB1127 into law, banning FFLs from selling the now-discontinued Glocks.
Glock said, “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.
“V Models will be available on shelves and for media loan December 2025. Glock V Series pistols are marked on the slide and frame with a ‘V.'”
