Glock Discontinuing LOTS of Pistol Models - Is Something Coming?

[echo5charlie]

Got an email from one of the largest distributors in the US. The following models are discontinued and no longer fall under MAP so expect some discounts. Thee CA Gen3 pistols is surprising unless CA is going to kill the allowance on the roster.


While I have other info than that, I have some ideas as to why:

Gen 6 is coming at NRA (maybe)
COA will be standard on most models

Anyway, since this email was sent to many gunshops already, here you go (with the caveat that I have NOT confirmed this with Glock):

[HeavyDuty]

That looks like most of the catalog.

[wmu12071]

I know there are probably more left than I think but I feel like it would have been easier to say they are only going to keep 47s...

[Noah]

Eager to see more info.

the Gen 3 and 4 couldn’t last forever.

A little more surprised by the Gen 5 .40s and G30.

Note that most of the 9mm Gen 5s on the list are the GNS and Ameriglo sight options, but not the dovetail protectors.

[JSGlock34]

Right - not MOS guns for the most part.

[Borderland]

I remember when SIG discontinued most of the 2xx series a few years ago. Could be it's becoming too expensive to support more than 25 different models if they aren't selling. SIG now has about that number but that required ditching most of their P2xx models. That was a yuge disappointment for me as a SIG fan but then I'm not in charge of corporate profits.

Glock has about 50 according to a search. I don't own one nor do I follow models on the market so this is just a guess on my part.

[GJM]

It looks like the 26 MOS is safe. Maybe Glock has been reading pistol forum and decided that all they need to offer is the 47 and 26 MOS.

[JSGlock34]

I didn't even realize the .45 GAP guns were still in production. Not surprised to see .357 SIG go either.

[45dotACP]

If I had to throw out a WAG it looks to me like the plan is to pivot towards the modular options and concealed carry market, to stop catering to the CA roster and (perhaps) release a new series of modular guns not chambered in 9mm?

I'm not sure about the last bit tho

[Caballoflaco]

Does Glock manufacture all of the pistols they sell in the U.S. in the U.S. now or do we still get some Austrian imports?

[SwampDweller]

Looks to be mostly superfluous variants of models (such as with various sight options) rather than entire models themselves, although they do seem discontinuing some surprising ones.

They’re getting rid of the standard G30 Gen 5? Standard G49 MOS? Those just came out last year

PSA was selling new 49 MOS models for $470 today.

[steve]

Sounds like Gen 6 will meet the Calif Roster requirements and concentration is on 9mm. .40 and .45 sales are dismal.

[Salamander]

The vast majority of the CA compliant gen 3 Glock's I see while doing RSO duty here, like 90%+, are 19s, 17s, and 26s. I don't see any of those on the list above. The rest are older 40S&W variants that people bought when 40 was still a thing, and the occasional off-roster gen 4 or 5 being run by off-duty LE or by folks who paid the 100% markup to buy a used one. There are a few gen 3 20s, 21s, and 30s on LGS shelves but for some reason they rarely show up at the range. 34s and 35s are mostly at competition matches, and not as much since optics became common.

The 17 and 19 are the ones Glock is selling gen 3 MOS spare slides for, suggesting they plan to keep selling those here. There's a 34 spare slide in the catalog but not shipping yet as far as I can tell. (BTW I just ran 164 rounds through my recently acquired 17 MOS spare slide and it ran flawlessly).

So either they're going all in on a few 9mm gen 3 variants for the roster here and dropping a lot of other things, as a couple of competitors have already done; or else there will be something new that can qualify for the roster, also as a couple of others have done. Glock sells a lot of pistols in California, but it does seem less than efficient to keep all of the old gen 3 models. And the gen 3 on-roster line is made in Austria, so the tariff uncertainty may be a factor.

In general firearms sales are down here, perhaps a combination of cultural/political cycles and the 11% excise tax although that's putting a harder hit on the more expensive high end pistols. So at least regionally, there's pressure to streamline and maximize efficiency.

[irascible_joe]

Does Glock manufacture all of the pistols they sell in the U.S. in the U.S. now or do we still get some Austrian imports?

I believe the SKUs starting with P are Austrian and the ones starting with U are US.

[Caballoflaco]

I believe the SKUs starting with P are Austrian and the ones starting with U are US.

I was wondering if maybe they were going to stop or limit importing euro pistols so they don’t have to raise prices in an already slow market.

[SwampDweller]

Sounds like Gen 6 will meet the Calif Roster requirements and concentration is on 9mm. .40 and .45 sales are dismal.

Gen 5 was and is mostly concentrated on 9mm and for the first several years only consisted of 9mm. I know 9mm is considered just as good now, but damn is it disappointing and boring for everything to be 9mm.

I just don’t see Gen 6 being a thing in the near future as it seems the Gen 5 is in it’s prime and I don’t really see how much can be done to advance the 9mm polymer frame striker fired pistol. And no, I don’t consider the chassis system all that useful of an advancement on practical terms.

On another note, am I missing it or are they keeping the Gen 4 .45 ACP models in production?

[NC_BRP]

It looks like the 26 MOS is safe. Maybe Glock has been reading pistol forum and decided that all they need to offer is the 47 and 26 MOS.

I can live with that.

(and I own them both so I'm biased...)

[SwampDweller]

I can live with that.

(and I own them both so I'm biased...)

I’m one of those guys who still thinks the 19 is king and it would herald the decline and fall of the Glock Empire.

The 19 and 21 are IMO the best Glocks followed closely by the G26. As long as they make those, I’m more or less good… though I still stick with Gen 4 for .45 as I’m not convinced the Gen 5 G21 is free of bugs yet.

[Glocks_Fly_Together]

As they damn well should. #Perfection

Also I’ve heard rumors of Gen 6 in a few key testers hands already so I assume that’s why they are discontinuing a bunch of the less volume sales Gen 5 models.

[Navyguns]

I don’t think this is a list of pistols being discontinued. Maybe some of them but for the most part no. I think they are discounting these pistols because they are slower moving items and sales are slow so let’s cuts prices to get some attention.

[okie john]

This is a prime opportunity for Glock to stop assigning model numbers at random and adopt a system.

[JSGlock34]

I agree Glock's naming convention of just numbering their pistols in the order of design/release leaves a bit to be desired. But I can't help but wonder if they're saving Glock 50 for the introduction of something notable...

[LockedBreech]

Damn. I need a G23G5 still and now I'm on the clock.

I thought the 45-caliber Gen 4s had already been discontinued.

[G19Fan]

I think we will see more of this across the board as tariff costs rise and sales slow. Seeing it in non firearm industries already

Glock 26 grip on a 19 slide? G34 with a 19 recoil spring to join the interchangeable slide cadre? I think we should speculate wildly.

Maybe the Glock 50 is just OEM metal mags in a 19 with a shallower grip angle. Maybe the Glock 50 was inside all of our hearts all along, so it always existed if we just believed in Gaston.

From your lips to the Widow Glock’s ears.Come on - I LOVE explaining to people that the G44 is a .22 and the G45 is a 9mm, while the .45 Glocks are the 21, 30, and 41...

[Glenn E. Meyer]

The local school department switched from ancient 38s to Glocks. Asked an officer if that was a Glock 22 (it was) but he blustered - It's a FORTAY! He was offended.

I can't keep track of all the variants of this grip, that slide, etc. G26 with a G17L slide or whatever.

The SRO at my kids' school was talking to a group once, and she was telling them they carry Glock "40's". Because she seemed to be a little too full of herself, I piped up and said, "Man, you're carrying a long-slide 10mm? That's pretty unique." After allowing her blank look to linger a few seconds longer than necessary, I just let her go by giving a quick "Cool".

Yeah, $750-$800 Glocks might be a hard sell.

[Inkwell 41]

//exec sarcasm
Clearly, this sets the stage for a Glock carbine and PCC.
//eoj sarcasm

[Navin Johnson]

Yeah, $750-$800 Glocks might be a hard sell.

Exactly how much is the tariff going to be on US-made Glocks?

[MountainRaven]

Exactly how much is the tariff going to be on US-made Glocks?

Depends on how many of the parts are still made in Austria.

[Caballoflaco]

Exactly how much is the tariff going to be on US-made Glocks?

That’s why I asked about how many of the discontinued models were made in Austria vs the U.S. earlier in the thread. It doesn’t make much makes sense for them to import guns that would sell at a 20% premium vs American made Glocks.

And yeah, in addition to parts we don’t know where they source the steel for their U.S. guns so we would likely see some sort of price increase if that’s sourced in Europe.

[Polecat]

More than the tariffs, it’s more like that don’t sell many clunky 9 round .45s, chunky bricks in a micro world, nor .40, nor .357 etc….

Seems like not just some of the models are drying up. I was looking on the Glock site for the current Blue Label dealers around me to contact looking for a certain model. There used to be about five or so around me, but now there's just one. There's also a lot fewer "Perfection" and "Authorized" dealers showing on the map than there had been. I'm on the Missouri side of the KC Metro. The irritating part is there's a GT Distributors location twenty minutes away, but there's one of those pesky state lines between here and there.

They don’t have a relationship with a shop on your side of the border? Kittery Trading Post in Maine was like that, they had a converted gas station two miles away on the NH side for transfers to NH residents.

The Scheels in Sioux City, IA had a relationship with an FFL in South Sioux City, NE. I followed one of their sales guys over there to do the paperwork. Turned out to be a cool little gun shop that I'd never known about. Went back later and bought/traded other stuff from the place.

I've always had a back of the mind want for a 30. With the news of it being discontinued, it's suddenly moved to the front of my mind.

That’s what I was thinking about the G23, so I tracked one down. My assumption was that the .40s are at more permanent risk of discontinuation than the .45s. Plus, I keep holding out hope that they will offer a MOS or COA version of the 30 at some point.

[L-2]

Post 58,

The list shows a G30Gen5 (Austrian) which should still leave the G30SF and G30Gen4 being made.

If a G30Gen5 is wanted, then I agree, track one down now before gone with no way for a dealer/distributor to get a new one (unless Glock USA decides to build them instead of Austria).

Frustratingly, Glock's USA website is usually slow/delayed in showing any latest/current info.

[HeavyDuty]

What I learned today - the stock numbers beginning with “P” are Austrian made, and “U” Gawga built. I’m probably like the last person who knew this.

[HeavyDuty]

I’m gonna be pissed if this is just a reshuffling of SKUs and the retail .40s are still going to be made.

[UpDok]

I suspect that your intuition about the SKU numbers is correct. I'd be surprised if Glock dropped the gen 5 G27, 23 and 22 (MOS) pistols like some unsellable rocks. There still has to be some demand for the .40

So, anyone wanting a Gen5 G30 ought to get one now. Or a Gen5 G34 MOS. In fact, looks like they're discontinuing the G17 and G34 altogether. I guess it's G19, G45 or G47 only going forward.

Weird to me that they're discontinuing the G22, but not the Gen5 G23.

I think the 17.5 non MOS is still around, but that’s almost surprising. G49 didn’t last long, must have sold terribly after it being everyone’s dream gun for 20 years

I actually recently traded my 34.5 MOS slide for a 17.5 slide. And I wish I could get one of those G30.5s at PSA. Oh well!

Based on my observations the last 10-15 years, the gun community is pretty bad about clamoring for a company to make something, then disappearing into the shadows when they actually do. Just look how many people used to insist they'd carry a 10mm if they were more options. Well, there are fifty options now, and not many people are carrying 10mm.

I think even if Glock released the oft-joked-about PCC it would do middling numbers.

I suspect other fandoms (cars, watches, etc.) have the same issue. People just like having something to want.

I'm not throwing stones here, I'm part of the problem. I've said I intended to buy about twice as many guns as I ever have.

No, the problem is too little too late. Now that everyone is running a dot, the advantage of having a 17 slide is minimal.

I've really been a luddite about adopting pistol optics. I have bad astigmatism and it took me many years to even get a dot for my AR. Would be nice if someone eventually makes a prism optic for pistol, since a Primary Arms prism is the only one that ever really worked for me.

I'm sure this is true, but I am wondering the percentage of people carrying who are using optics. Based on market trends it seems like a lot must be.

I'm sure this is true, but I am wondering the percentage of people carrying who are using optics. Based on market trends it seems like a lot must be.

A majority of gun buyers probably still have irons, the problem is that the same people who WOULD have bought a special long slide model to actually compete with for more sight radius are almost all shooting optics now. Not all. But most. I also prefer irons to dots for individual vision reasons, but even if your average gun buyer doesn't have a dot yet, your average person who actually trains/shoots/competes does, and even the non shooters eventually want to be like the shooters.

A lot of the non shooting gun buying public also want an optic ready gun as a feature, even if they don't get an optic.

I don't think a prism is a solution- it is still a "false" image with an eyebox, it just happens to be trying to be 1x magnification. That would be a nightmare at arms length and no stock. Take a 1x prism and try to use it at arms length holding it with your hands and see!

ETA: Drifting the thread back, I wonder how many of the recent patents we've discussed will end up in the Gen 6, and how many are red herrings.

To date:
Patents:
Possible FCU with a no trigger pull disassembly lever
Modular grip length

WAGs (Wild arse guesses):
Rumored ergonomic improvements
GPT as standard to avoid the "Switch"?
COA pattern with a cover plate as standard?

I have pretty bad astigmatism but it doesn't seem to matter much if I'm target focused, especially with pistol optics.

I don't think a prism will be light enough for a pistol optic. Look around and I'm sure you can find a dot that isn't too bad. Some like green.

Sorry for the drift, I appreciate your and Rust's thoughts on optics.

To assist with the drift-correction, I will say that ergo improvements would go a long way. That's easily the #1 gripe with Glock. If I could get a G17 as comfortable as my M&P, that would be pretty great.

I like Gen 4/5 Glock ergos, but I understand that I’m in a minority, just as with how I prefer irons, which is also generally a minority among those who train or compete anymore.

If I could get a straight backstrap to reduce the angle just a little, without increasing trigger reach, or feeling like it reduced support hand room (my ergonomic problem with the Timberwolf frame, in addition to the massive functional and safety issues) I’d probably like it.

I have a pretty bad astigmatism, but it’s not insurmountable. I keep a manual dot bright enough that I can use it in sunlight and with a flashlight, which means it’s basically blooming to fill half the window in some situations for me. I thought the SCS with improved auto adjust would fix that, but it was still very bright and bloomed 95% of the time for me and I learned that while my astigmatism with a red dot is round with some burst and bloom, my astigmatism with green is a lot uglier. Wanted to love it, but went back to irons.

A really good auto adjusting red would probably work better for me.

Everyone’s vision is unique though. You’ll have to see what works for you.

I did switch all my irons to green fiber optic front, since it does appear a lot brighter than red to me, but doesn’t bloom at all. For me, a green fiber also provides contrast down to very surprisingly low levels of light, much lower than red. It almost feels like tritium except in pitch black where a light would be required anyway.

Anyway. :)

Glock is really pumping up the “continuation of perfection” and “‘make room for future innovation” with this, and I’m all for this. Might we see an announcement as soon as this NRAAM??

It’s funny to see people crying about Glock losing them as customers on GT for dropping .40 and .357 Sig, blissfully unaware that (according to one posted source) there are 25 9mms sold for every one of those calibers, not to mention the LEO market that Glock appears to be regaining ground in.

The primary target market for Glock is institutional users (police, military, etc). Like most European gun manufacturers, they don’t view the commercial market as their primary customer. Most people in these contexts aren’t gun enthusiasts or anything even remotely resembling gun enthusiasts. A good portion of them don’t really understand the manual of arms of their issued firearm and substantially more done really understand the cycle of operations. Requiring a trigger pull to disassemble is one of the dumbest things I can think of for a gun geared towards institutional users.

SwampDweller here and can you imagine the conflict growing within me on whether to roll the dice on ANOTHER G30 Gen 5 while I have the chance?

My beloved G21 Gen 4 is likewise being discontinued, so going forward the only new production .45 Glocks will be Gen 5. Folks here might remember my disappointing results reliability-wise with both G21 Gen 5s I had.

It does look like the G23 Gen 5 is not included in this discontinued models list? Unless I am missing it. Makes no difference to me as I have no need for a .40. I would like to give the Gen 5 G21 another chance, but only after I can be reasonably sure I won’t get burned again.

I'm bummed they're killing the G34. G34 has served as the 'max velocity' 9mm pistol benchmark for years, and I always though it was the coolest looking Glock.

If they're just trying to consolidate on one frame/recoil spring, I'd like to see them offer a 'Glock 50' thats a 5" slide on the G45/G47 frame.

Frankly a 4" and 5" makes more sense to me than a 4" and 4.5", and the 5" pairs well with a full size WML.

X300 is flush fit with a 5.3" G34, so you'd still be able to get a bit of 'wml as standoff device' with the 5" slide.

I wonder how much of a factor the pending California "Glock ban" legislation was in Glock discontinuing the CA roster models?



AB1127 targets pistols that can accept automatic conversion switches – specifically, Glocks. While the federal government already makes it a felony to own or use devices that convert semiautomatic pistols into fully automatic ones, California lawmakers are now pushing to ban entire categories of guns if those models are capable of being modified, regardless of whether or not any modification actually takes place. In practice, that would sweep nearly all Glock models off California’s handgun roster. The group Moms Demand Action is claiming AB 1127 will stop the spread of DIY machine guns in California.

[vandal]

Shadow Systems has their Gen 4-based guns on the roster now, maybe this will force Glock to put out a Gen 5 CA-compliant model. Just needs a mag disconnect and a "real" loaded chamber indicator. If Shadow Systems can pull it off, why not Glock?

New CA-compliant pistols are un-possible, thanks to Kamala Harris' gaslighting during her time as CA-AG. If a DA revo or semi-auto pistol does not include microstamping technology, it cannot be added to the roster. Since no firearms are manufactured with microstamping vaporware technology, no new firearms can be added to the roster. That is why the 3G Glocks remained in production all this time.

I am trying to make decisions myself. Does it make sense for me to risk $430 on a Gen 5 Glock 30 when I got burned by one when they first came out? Not to mention the cost of ammo to vet it. In addition, the G30 G5 has only been out for about a year, spare parts won't be as easy to come by as something like a Gen 3 G30SF or even G21 Gen 4. If I wanted to go "all in" on the G30 Gen 5, that would be something to think about. It's production is coming to an end and didn't last long. I still have a lightly used G30 Gen 4 that I haven't vetted.

I could instead go "all in" on the compact polymer .45 model of pistol that has served me well, the HK45C. It is still in production, is roughly G19 size, both of my examples have proven to be very reliable, and it is a proven durable design. Hammer fired LEM is nice (though different). It won't be in production forever either. Maybe I should buy a third one, more mags, spare parts, etc...

The roster regime as a whole wasn’t overturned but the microstamping requirement was eliminated so guns with magazine disconnect and loaded chamber indicator can be added to the roster of “not unsafe” handguns.

Don't get me wrong, I like the 30 Gen 5 except for the fact that mine was unreliable.

Both of my G21 Gen 5s also had feeding problems so I wrote off the .45 Gen 5s altogether. That said, if I could get a reliable G30 Gen 5 and G21 Gen 5, I'd be all over it.

Can confirm car and watch guys are just like gun guys, they say they want something but won't buy it.

I've kind of reached this point where I realized I don't need to chase the better mouse trap. Any gun is likely to be only a small amount better, there's only so much you can really do. I'm really happy with my Gen5 Glocks, the only thing I'd be interested in is a better dot mounting system but even then I'm not about to buy a whole new pistol for it because i'd need a new dot too.

[Polecat]

Yeah, NRA this year was kinda blah. Frustrating to talk to some of the major manufacturers. Seems like the American base group really has their pulse on the finger, but the European side says “ no this is what you need.” That was a recurring theme, so don’t blame the USA guys. Case in point Beretta updating with this dumb “x” crap. Beretta rep proud “ have you seen the 80x?” Yeah, it’s huge for caliber heavy recoiling. While nice looking, really useless for CCW. What were they thinking wasting all that effort in low capacity .22 / .32 blow back pocket guns. Was mention of high cap APX carry update.

Staccato stole the show in my opinion. Super attentive, asked questions about Civi ccw market etc. very engaged. I gotta tell ya, I am gonna buy a Staccato now just on principle! Oh, and they have nice stuff coming!

Walther was a pleasant surprise as well, they are aware of some CS issues, and are trying hard, and WILL meet the ccw community needs.

HK, well is still HK. In 5 minutes I bet I heard “why don’t you offer the 91; P7 etc. 5 times. I was all in for the CC9, until I handled and shot it. I ‘m out. They are living on past reputation. Lazy.LaZe for the Uber Deutche Sprecher.

Canik guys were great and hungry, again, attentive to market, just super team. Keep it up.

I guess you better buy the model you want while there are still some in pipeline.

I would love to see a tiny Glock pocket .32.

Besides being the opposite of the direction Glock seems to be going, I’m not sure what niche it would fill that the 42 doesn’t.

The size of the G42 is comparable to many .32s, and it’s fairly mild for a .380.

.32 ACP ammo is generally more expensive and the semi rim case creates a whole other set of issues.

[recon]

Well crap. This is very disappointing.

Bizarre
Gen 6 better be Real Special

[WobblyPossum]

Only two guns from that list surprise me: the G49 and G34.5. I understand the G49 doesn’t sell well but it’s not like the parts are unique. It’s a G19 frame and a G47 slide with a single character difference in the roll mark. No one wants G49s right now? Just send the slides to the G47 roll mark conveyor belt and the frames to the G19 bin. Some orders for G49s coming in? Switch to the G49 roll mark program for a bit.

The G34 used to be THE Glock for competitions. Maybe the rise of red dots changed that and no one wants the longer slide anymore so all the cool kids are getting G47s instead. Is no one shooting G34s in production anymore?

I don’t find any of the others surprising. If it’s true they made up a combined 8% of Glock sales, that’s more than I had assumed.

I forgot to mention I went to NRAAM 2025, I live in the Atlanta area. This is where I chatted with the Glock rep. I also asked about the 34 gen. 5 and she said they do not sell a lot of 34 pistols. I think the perception of what Glocks sell well is really skewed by gun enthusiasts on the internet talking about the models they like. This doesn’t transfer into actual sales.

[No.6]

I would love to see a tiny Glock pocket .32.

I would like to see a new something. Cutting a bunch of models with low sales, ok, good business sense. Replacing them with nothing seems like being caught without any ideas and unprepared for a changing world economy.

Fortunately they're not a publicly traded company or optics would be made reality by automated trading algorithms that digest sentiment and trade in coordination with one another.

[BK14]

Maybe I missed it, but do the blue label versions of those same models have different SKUs? Like, how they discontinued the 17 MOS, but agencies could still purchase it. Would there still be blue label 49s, 34.5s, etc?

[WobblyPossum]

Dots. The deputy loves dots.

[HeavyDuty]

I always thought it was stupid that they didn’t offer the Gen5 34 in a non-MOS version. It’s the one gun that people are most likely to mount quality adjustable sights.

[JonInWA]

Wow, it's official, directly from the Glock US website now: https://us.glock.com/en/discontinued-models

While I expected some to be discontinued (the GAP and .357 SIG models, for example) I did not foresee the entire .40 caliber models to be eviscerated, along with the .45 ACP G30. Particularly the Gen5 .40's.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. While I doubt that there have been significant .40 organizational purchases lately, since the improvements to 9mm cartridges, I do think it was finding a niche as a wilderness cartridge, and there was the large Brazilian police order which prompted the G22/G23 Gen5.

Personally, while I don't necessarily NEED them, I'll need to fairly quickly scrutinize if I want to obtain a Gen5 G22 and G30....I have no idea how much existing inventory Glock has to be drawn down.

Best, Jon

Damn. G23 Gen 5 was on my list but my last two buys have been Glocks and I was hoping to shake it up with a 1911. I don't like being time-pressured into a buy. But I also don't want to be without a companion gun to my G22.5.

On the other hand, the death of the Glock .40 S&W may well be the moment that .40 S&W slips into true niche caliber status, as demand for ammo will reduce considerably over time now, Glock being the share of the market that it is. There is an argument for keeping my current 4-5 high-quality .40 platforms but not deepening the investment. Maybe spending that $600 on ammo instead.

Decisions, decisions.

I was thinking the same thing, so I swapped a Gen5 MOS G34 for a Gen5 MOS G22. The guy I dealt with thought he was making out like a bandit.
The G22 is really a pleasure to shoot. Not at all like what I remember.

[fatdog]

The G22 is really a pleasure to shoot. Not at all like what I remember.

So true for Gen 5! I have seen some GB prices lately approaching the blue label price, I assume because of low demand and being discontinued....

[JTQ]

I'm bummed they're killing the G34. G34 has served as the 'max velocity' 9mm pistol benchmark for years, and I always though it was the coolest looking Glock.

I also thought the G34 was the coolest of the Glock's, especially when the G34 had the slide cutout. I really have no need for a Glock, but the G34 always seemed like it would have been my entry point if I did take that step.

[HeavyDuty]

Palmetto is blowing out G27.5s for $420.

[Trajan]

I've always thought the G17 shot better than the G34. My only concern about the 34 dying is holsters. Roland's are awesome.

I have 3 Gen 5 34’s. I’m debating picking up a 4th.

You know cool long slides might be around the corner too though. It’s hard to say.

[Sensei]

A local gun shop has G30.5s for $399. I’m probably going to pickup a couple at that price.

[GlockenSpiel]

I'm guessing .40 and .45 might be keeping the most popular in that caliber. 21 makes sense as most popular for .45; I'm guessing 23 might be the lone survivor in .40 because it's the compact do-all size. That still surprises me they got rid of the 22 though; I know people who are still buying and happy with the 22 gen 5s.

As for what the innovation is; it's the COA. That's what people are going to be going to Glock for in the near future. Maybe we will have something with the frame or whatever like that patent, but they're not discontinuing any of the big sellers so I doubt imminent big changes across the lineup is the reason.

If you want to pick up a 22, 27, 30, 34, etc. I would get on gun.deals as there seems to be loads of deals on those from the usual drop shippers.

The only G23 I don't see listed on the discontinued Glock list is the Gen 3, which is interesting. I figured they would've kept the Gen 5 and axed the Gen 3. Gen 4 and 5 including MOS are gone.

[LockedBreech]

I thought that was very curious too. It's universal that the Gen 5 .40s not only shoot a lot better, but the Gen 3 .40 issues are also very well known at this point.

My guess is simply holster compatibility. That or the increasingly active Gen 3 market generally in terms of clones/knockoffs.

[JonInWA]

My guess is the continuation of Gen 3 production has everything to do with California....

Much as I like, and applaud the Gen5 .40s, I suspect that negligible sales (particularly organizational sales) made this an unfortunate "easy button" deletion for Glock.

Yeah, GJM, myself and others here may like the .40 Gen5 Glocks, but how many of us, let alone other in the commercial marketplace have actually bought one? And how many shops/dealers are actually willing to actively stock them?

The holster compatibility is probably a slight, but negligible factor (except for organizational users...).

In reality, I've found that using existing G21/G30/G20/G29 holsters works handily and effectively for my Gen5 G23. I'll assume similarly for GAP G37/G38/G39 holsters with the Gen5 .40's.

As I mentioned earlier, I'll probably gen a Gen5 G22, and use that for EDC, keeping my Gen4 G22 with a RDS and GPT for IDPA, GSSF and .357 SIG use (with the Glock .357 SIG barrel I got for it).

Best, Jon

[LockedBreech]

I see where you're coming from, Jon. I made the difficult decision not to add a G23G5 at this time. I have a good quality brace of .40 S&W guns and enough ammo to last me for the foreseeable future, but I think it's finally time to stop putting money in new guns in the chambering.

What I'm really fighting against here is aging and nostalgia. When I was a little kid my dad's agency had just gone to .40 and he loved it. It was the caliber I learned to shoot on, the only handgun I had for most of a decade, and to me is still the "normal" cartridge the way I imagine .45 Auto is for a lot of folks whose first gun was a 1911. Imagine my surprise when I got online and found out it was a mostly unloved middle child.

[Rock185]

Wow, that is quite a list. Within the last year or so, I bought a new Gen 3 G34. The G34 is the only model I'd owned years ago that I really missed. I figured the only reason the Gen 3 was still made was; California. Surprised to see so many of the later generation models going away though...

[GJM]

I understand a large percentage of the total sku's in the Glock line up are going away, but they represent a very small percentage of the sales. Said another way, a relatively few products make up most of their sales.

If you look at what products are available with the COA, I bet these are the most popular models by sales volume. So 43X, 48, 19, 45 and 47.

Yep. The discontinued sku's constituted I would guess less than 10% of Glock's sales...

And I'd be willing to bet a p-f dollar that the combined .45 GAP and .357 SIG sales last year were less than 500 guns....

I suspect that Gaston's passing alone finally allowed a corporate decision to pull the plug on the legacy GAP platforms.....I'd be very surprised if more than 100 of those were sold in the past 12 months...

[Navin Johnson]

Pretty sure up thread somebody mentioned a Glock rep they talk to said it was about 8% of total sales that they were cutting out

[spyderco monkey]

I suspect the Gen 5 .40 and .45 will be pretty rare collectors items, simply due to how many were likely sold prior to being discontinued.

Ditto the 17L Gen 5, which I am barely resisting purchasing.

For Gen 4, the G40 MOS 10mm longslide I suspect will be quite coveted as well. My buddy has one in 9x25 which is outrageous.

One of my favorite periods of aircraft development is that liminal space between biplanes/monoplanes or between pistons/jets. You have aircraft developed, like the CR.42 Falco or the Supermarine Spiteful, that just a year before would have been world-winning marvels, but they showed up as the world passed them by.

[fatdog]

Talked to a friend at a distributor today, pure speculation on his part, but this move could be to narrow the product line to a short list of only those that can be produced in GA going forward, thereby avoiding tariff traps for the company that would put them in a different price range or radically change margins.

Not that they could not produce the others in GA, but with the limited capacity of that plant how do you best use the capacity and maintain the current price/cost point for most of what you decide to sell.

[Exiledviking]

I checked a couple of times, I don't see the G20SF on that list?
They must sell enough of them to keep producing them. Hmmmm... do I need a G20SF...?

[JonInWA]

Hmmmm...My Gen5 G23 WAS made in Georgia!

What with the mini Georgia state outline proofs and the "USA" in the rollmark banner on the left side of the slide...

So of course I had to get the Glock Georgia hat.....oh, wait, it's been discontinued too......

I’ve been wanting to pick up a 23.5 for a few years now, and a second 27.5 to leave with irons. The news caused me to find decent deals on each, and I picked them up today from the pusher.

Both are Austrian, and both have obviously been in stock at the distributors for some time evidenced by the amount of box label yellowing. I'm wondering if there is a resource that tracks production date by serial prefix.

Maybe the G17 surviving is a nod to the model's legacy as a company icon andt the model that got the company rolling. Gunmakers are in the business to make money and you can make money on nostalgia on a small scale S&W keeps the Model 10 going, H&K does limited runs of new Mk23s, and Glock released the P80 recently.

The list appears to indicate it is only the MOS model, all the G22 gen 5's and previous gens are on the list, both MOS and non-MOS, but I read the list to imply that the traditional non-MOS G23 gen 5 stays, at least that would be consistent with how they structured the rest of the list.

Doesn’t the list show both the MOS and non MOS versions being discontinued?

Glock should have just made a list of what is still in production.

Agreed. You sure as hell can't tell from their website (which SHOULD be the definitive list). I guess in time it will be, but jeeze...

I swear it keeps changing every time I look at it.

The Gen4 and Gen5 G17 were discontinued as well. Only Gen3s left. Disregard, I guess the NON-MOS Gen5 G17 is still available. Wonder who's running those?
My previous employer (security company fulfilling a variety of federal, state, and local contracts) issued roughly 250 of the non-MOS G17s to their South Florida contract as of last October. I can't imagine them ever issuing RDS-equipped pistols unless required by contract, which seems unlikely, and they certainly wouldn't want the added expense of an MOS gun that will never have an optic mounted.

My agency just issued these last year.

Local city PD in my last hometown and current town of residence are still using those as issue. Some guys appear to still be carrying Gen 4.

In remembrance of the G34, sharing this guys setup, which is still to my mind one of the cleanest WML combos.

I remember when SIG discontinued most of the 2xx series a few years ago. Could be it's becoming too expensive to support more than 25 different models if they aren't selling....

Could be that they just don't want people to remember that they once made simple, reliable pistols.

To be fair, all metal TDA pistols are a bit more spendy to make than a plastic SFA people popper. S&W is also out of the traditional TDA market.

Could be that they just don't want people to remember that they once made simple, reliable pistols.As a certified armorer for the Sig "Classic" pistols, I would not characterize them as "simple." But, I remember Sig before Cohen - they were the "Glock" of the TDA market. Now you get what you get, but you can get it in a variety of rainbow titanium diamondplate finishes...

That Tan G17 with black accents looks great. Looks like a slightly different shade then the 19x?

/ given the effort to consolidate models, I'm surprised they still make the 19X, vs just making the G45 MOS in tan.
