Glock Upheaval: Rumors Fly on Discontinued Models, New info on V Series Guns

Hi,



The "black sheep", that's funny. ;) I, too, have only one Glock in my little stash. In a dull way, it's one of their most garish and unique. C'mon! A 6.02 inch barrel! That's kinda ridiculous. I think that's why I'm infatuated with my G17L. Glockers don't bother me. I can see the appeal. They just don't appeal all that much to me. I am a fanboy of the SA products, with eight in my cabinet. But I also like to play the field a little. Variety adds a little spice. But I digress.

It's going to be interesting. But I have a feeling that "Meet the new Glock, same as the old Glock" will be the outcome for the end user. Hopefully it's enough to stave off lawsuits and legislation.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

As long as you like what you like. I’m more of a M&P fan but do like some SA & CZ. My G23 was one that I found and couldn’t resist because I thought it was going away. Now I see it’s not but happy I got it because I don’t see to many .40 out in my area.

It is basically the king slide 17L version but in 10mm for hunters wanting an extra inch. Which I believe Lone Wolf mad a 6” drop in barrel in 10mm for the Glocl 20

Perhaps in general appearance, but the G40 has notable dimensional differences than the 17L to account for the larger cartridge.

I used a Lone Wolf 6" 10mm barrel to build my Lone Wolf long-slide 10mm before Glock came up with the G40 idea.

Usually the 10MM goes with a .45 frame design across the manufacturers. I’m happy that they strengthened up the G23 Gen5 from the 9MM platform and decided to keep it. Too bad they don’t do the long slides anymore but even SA got rid of them.

Yea, I was really disappointed that SA dropped the long-slide 10mm XDMs.

I was speaking solely of overall length.

Girth…:well that’s a more personal Issue and we don’t want to trigger any bore envy now so we???
 
Glock is being sued by the People's Democratic Republic of California, with likely copycat lawsuits to follow from New York, Illinois, and other states.

Frankly, it's not their fault that "hackers" have figured out how to turn their semi-auto firearms into machine pistols with a 3D printer and five cents of plastic. However, I'm not that upset that they are making a change that will put drug dealers and gang bangers back on their heels for a bit.

Unfortunately it doesn't do a damn thing about the hundreds of thousands of pistols that are already in circulation, but of course if any of the state lawsuits are successful, we all know what comes next...the confiscation of those same weapons.

Haters gonna hate but here are a couple short videos by 2 attorneys that deal with firearms. While I generally avoid YouTube these are 2 of the better channels to get factual informational from
