So, the new Glock V series has been “leaked”…

Looks like all they have done is place a block to keep a switch from engaging the disconnect.

I'm amused by all the people who seem to think it's gonna be impossible to buy a prior generation Glock going forward.

It’s not going to be impossible. They are just going to be a bit more expensive. People aren’t going to cut loose of them as often. They have already quit production on G34’s. You can’t find in stock. I have a Gen3 but would like a Gen5 MOS but not going to pay $850 for it.

I'd love a g43x

Slim frame Glocks aren’t changing. The 43x and 48 will stay the same.

Out of all the guns I have, never owned a Glock. Closest thing I have is a shadow system.

This is me too.

I own a 2001 Glock 19.
She’s a nice one boys!

I bought a new Glock 19 in 2002. Added a trigger kit and some A-Grip. It is my best shooting centerfire handgun.

I own a Glock 26 as my main CCW. Relatively inexpensive (blue label gun), tough, simple, reliable, and only requires a bare minimum of maintenance. Only changes I have made are the OEM extended slide release and OEM tritium sights.

“Glock:the best $300 pistol that $600 can buy”

Might be cheaper than $300.
I can’t find my book about Gaston Glock but it’s a fascinating story.Glock had never owned a firearm in his life when he decided to design a pistol to hopefully sell to the Austrian army.
He bought every brand of pistol he could find,took them apart,determined how they worked,etc.
Designed his own pistol,he was an engineer with extensive experience with polymers,hence the Glock 17.
A big time firearms dealer,sold military weapons all over the world got a G17,was fascinated with it,met with Glock and worked a deal with him to market his pistols.
Glock didn’t realize what he had but the firearms dealer did.Glock was going to sell them significantly cheaper because they were so cheap to manufacture.The FA dealer convinced him to sell them at a significantly higher price because he felt they wouldn’t be taken seriously if they were sold for what Glock was thinking,they would’ve been considered Sat.night special,throw away pistols.

The dealer did a stellar job promoting the G17 all over the world.The FA dealer dropped all his other weapons and promoted Glocks only.The rest is history.

Glock turned out to be a real A-hole.He got perturbed that the dealer was making so much money on commission(he became a millionaire).
He revoked the contract because”he didn’t design the pistol to make the FA dealer a millionaire”.(Glock himself became a billionaire).
Thing is if it hadn’t been for the dealer Glock likely would never have been as successful as he was.

Side story- I remember when Glocks hit the market.Dumbass news media was having a major meltdown over the “plastic” pistol.Airplane hijackings were the thing then and the media was just sure Glocks wouldn’t be detectable with metal detectors or X-rays.

Say what you want, people spend way more for less reliability.
