Glock Rumor

Completely 100% non-verified, but it certainly could affect Department operations in a large way:

• Gun owners across America are buzzing about unconfirmed reports that Glock, one of the world’s most recognizable firearm manufacturers, may be planning the most dramatic overhaul of their product line in decades. The potential changes could affect millions of law enforcement officers, security professionals, and legal gun owners who rely on the Austrian company’s pistols.

  According to a widely circulated social media post from GlockStore, the manufacturer might discontinue nearly all of its current handgun models starting November 30, 2025. If accurate, this would represent a seismic shift for a company whose firearms are used by police departments, military units, and civilian gun owners worldwide.

  
  

  The unverified report suggests that only three models – the Glock 43, 43X, and 48X – would remain in production from the current lineup. These compact pistols, popular among concealed carry permit holders, would apparently continue unchanged while the rest of Glock’s extensive catalog gets replaced.

After the Sig incident(s), we speculated that switching a thousand-plus Officers to a different Department-approved pistol could have far reaching operational effects - you react how you are trained and you are trained with hundreds of Firearm hours at the Academy. It takes time, effort and a whole lot of ammunition to effectively train a decent shooter, and we all know how the City and Department operate on the cheap.

A Glock revamp would be a massive disruption, more so if Glock refuses to qualify Department armorers or supply parts to current owners of the pistol. 

UPDATE: Glock has confirmed they're discontinuing everything except the three listed models.
