Reports circulating across the global firearms community suggest that Glock, one of the world's most recognisable handgun manufacturers, may be preparing to discontinue much of its current pistol range by late 2025. The Austrian company is reportedly developing a new 'V Model' series designed to curb illegal firearm modifications, though it has yet to issue an official statement or confirmation.
The rumour first appeared on gun forums and social media, in posts attributed to GlockStore, claiming that nearly all existing models, except the Glock 43, 43X and 48X, would be replaced with redesigned pistols intended to prevent illegal switch conversions. These small devices, known as 'Glock switches', can turn semi-automatic pistols into fully automatic weapons, prompting growing concern among US law enforcement agencies and regulators.
