Why The Change To The V Models?

Regulators and lawmakers have been focused on devices and modifications (so-called “Glock switches”) that can convert semi-autos into full auto. Some new state rules and laws have made manufacturers rethink parts and internal geometries. The V Models are being billed as a baseline, simplified platform with internal changes intended to reduce convertibility and align the product line with “future innovations.” Reports also say many V models will launch without MOS (optic cut) variants at first.

Glock has quietly pulled a bunch of models from its commercial catalog and is rolling out a new “V Models” to take their place. Glock’s discontinued list (every Gen-3/Gen-4 and some Gen-5 entries) is published on their site, and Glock will begin shipping V Model pistols in December 2025.

It’s to the civilian market. The government’s contracts are always the bread and butter for the manufacturers and we get the left overs from that. Every manufacturer like Glock, S&W, SA, CZ, and SIG does this because they know where the money is. Yes “we” have a fraction of the market but don’t buy “bulk” like the government contracts do.
