Sources reveal Glock plans to discontinue a large portion of popular pistols after November 30, 2025 - launching new models in their place.

Editor's Note: Article was updated at 9:48am ET with new info provided by Glock.

Austrian gun company Glock revealed company plans to discontinue a large portion of its pistols starting in November.

Glock issued a statement on October 21, 2025, regarding the leak of the company’s plans. “Yesterday, a retailer NOT affiliated with GLOCK Inc. made premature statements concerning the availability of certain GLOCK pistols. The individuals making these representations are not authorized to speak for GLOCK.

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.”

According to the company, V models will be available December 2025 and will include the following models:

G17 V G19 V G19X V G45 V G26 V G20 V MOS G23 V G23 V MOS G21 V MOS G44 V Glock also said that distributor exclusive models will be available, including:

G19C V G45C V G17C V G19X V MOS TB

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.

Likely the same bugger switch. My issue too.

Of course! Because they want you to be safe. It’ll re-engage after each shot, and you can unlock it using your 2FA app on your phone!

This is all about those models that accept the ghetto “glock switch”

Minimizing their liability for what the underclass does with their product.

“Glock Perfection” if Glocks are “perfect,” why all the releases and “gens”?. The first one was supposed to be “perfect.”

I’ll take my all STEEL Sig Sauers. 👍

Glock ‘switches’ have become too much of a liability.

The same tactic should be taken against those who allowed violent, illegal immigrants into our country and then they harmed citizens!

Yes, I believe that is the motivation.

Eliminate the entire product line capable of accepting the “Glock switch”.

Considering how many are already “out in the wild”, it’ll make little difference.

FGlock switches are a retarded downgrade. After the first shot you are shooting up everything but what you are shooting at. Watch some videos. How much ammo can you carry? You want a belt feed clock or a 3 ft mag?

That’s true, but from Glocks perspective, they’d like to be able to keep selling their firearms.

Ah, you do know this is regarding a certain group of people( Glock switch), and not the general population.

“You want a belt feed clock (sic)...”

Well, it’s been said that happiness is a belt fed weapon.
