Just 'cause I'm a party-pooping D-Bag. I took a little stroll through the US Trademark Database. Glock has only registered one trademark in 2019 and it's for...
Horological Instruments
Yep...a Glock Watch. I bet we're all sitting here on Glock watch watching for a watch...
I mean, on a list of things that would convince me to buy a Glock. This is pretty damn high. A DWX-type gun that uses G19 magazines, G19 sights, but has a thumb safety and a 1911-style trigger? If they did an internal hammer ala the "1911 Pocket Model" custom things that Cylinder and Slide did a few years ago, it would be basically perfect (because although I like having an external hammer, it would have a positive locking thumb safety and that would work for me, for CC).

Having passing familiarity with 1911s, isn't this basically a Wilson EDC X9? Or STI Staccato?

Alternatively, if it's not an MOS 48, I'd be happy with them declaring they will never, ever make anything like a 1911.
And if it's a watch, oh my, the irony, Rolex watch out...
Getting pretty close - there is also the DWX.
The X9 is basically just a 1911, minus grip safety, using a P99/PPQ magazine. It even has a bolt on front sight ala Glock (but it isn't Glock dimensioned) and Novak 1911 rear dovetail.
The Staccato is basically just a wide 1911 - with grip safety, using a proprietary magazine, and Novak 1911 dovetails for the sights.
The DWX is basically a CZ frame, 1911 trigger, 1911-esque thumb safety, using either the P10 magazines (full-size) or CZ75 compact magazines (carry/compact model), but using weirdo sights - CZ dovetail rear, Novak 1911 dovetail front (<-this is the most bizarre part to me).
So, really we just need a Glock 19 with thumb safety, 1911 trigger, and, of courses, uses all the Glock magazines and sights. But since that gun doesn't exist, I carry an STI about 70% of the time.
Glock already has too many models and calibers. I hope they do not go down the path of niche guns that lack parts compatibility. Instead, I hope Glock keeps doing what they do well: making a simple, reliable, durable, standardized handgun. Is there room for improvement beyond the Gen5? Yes, but not at the cost of parts compatibility.
IMO, a .22 Glock, some weird hybrid, or a thumb safety would be steps in the wrong direction. Glocks need to keep being Glocks. We already have too many other options.

Dear Glock...
Here’s what I want:
1. Glock carbine
2. Glock .44 mag in ultra mega super long slide wiff da porting *you know you’d buy it!
3. Glock 7.62x25
4. Glock 5.7
Wasn’t GLOCK that had a big announcement and it turned out to be some online gimmick?
How about this: Glock announces an entirely new handgun design that they have been testing in secret for 5 years. Fewer parts, better in every way than anything currently available. Modular, standardized, can be detail stripped by an idiot in 5 minutes. 4 different sizes. Only comes in 9mm.
