Back to curtain rings.

Oh good, the 25 and 28 isn’t on that list….

Well, Gaston owned 99% of the company, and now perhaps the new Chairwomen has a new vision going forward.

Interesting (but unsurprising) that some models are listed as only being sold to LE. Other companies have done something similar when they want to phase out models but enough LE agency customers want to continue using them. (To a point.)

Since the .40/.357/.45/.45GAP aren't exactly major sales for LE/Gov contracts in the current market, it's unsurprising they might be discontinued from the production catalog. The company could always 'bring them back' if any of them suddenly come back into favor for major contracts.

Since Glock appears to be branching out internationally, it's not unexpected that the standard caliber would be ... 9mm. Maybe a little .380ACP.

I noticed the official list of discontinued models only shows Gen4 for the 19/26/23, so perhaps they'll keep them (Gen3) for states like CA? If so, though, too bad the G27 in all vintages is being dropped. Makes me glad I rebuilt mine in recent years. :)

I can always get by with picking up a Shield 40 2.0, though.

Going to be some interesting times going forward with the new Glock company.

On the bright side, this corporate decision will probably cede that small market segment of .40 & .45 shooters over to other makers. Granted, they're still a dwindling number of current production .40's & .45's.

Metal frames (M&P 2.0 .40), budget plastic (SD 2.0), a scant number of major American maker plastic .45's, M&P .20 .45, and the venerable metal P220 ... but literally tons of 1911's to be found.

The market is reflecting the major caliber shift from both LE/Gov (continuing Mil) and Private shooting enthusiasts to 9mm. Money talks, and it's been talking 9mm, with a helping of .380ACP. ;)

The 1911 shooters can still scratch their itch.

Me? I've got my 9's, .40's and .45's ... and I've increasingly returned to my revolvers. Not so much .44MAG or .45Colt anymore, but .38SPL & .357MAG are still my go-to choices for working self defense wheelies. Good time for those calibers nowadays, too.

This fuels the "one 9mm Modular Model" Gen 6 rumor

damn after looking at that list... not to many models left, is glock going to dry up and close doors all together ?
what models are actually gonna be left alive ?
im damn well invested in glock, should i jump whip ?
No, they are selling more Gen 5 26/19/45/47 pistols than ever before, and about to release Gen 6. This is a healthy sign, not a bad one.
