The new Glock V

 

FWIW I'm quite satisfied with my G19 with accessory G25 upper and have no plans on changing/upgrading.

Well.  It has a cruciform trigger which some thought was going away for a performance style trigger. 

 

I believe that keeping the cruciform trigger means Glocks are still banned in California, so I question what Glock is doing.  That legislature isn't going to roll back any gun control. They were just using the switches as an excuse to ban another chunk of guns.

The design changes might hinder of the use of existing aftermarket switches. (I'm confident the switch-makers can adapt.) The changes probably also hinder the ability to swap parts between old and new models.

I would add that if I didn't already have the equivalent of two Glock handguns (9mm and .380) I would not hesitate to purchase one of the new Glock V's.

I give it 30 days before the gang-enabled engineers have a new switch for the V model.

They have to be "Recertified"or whatever CA calls it, was that completed?

Complete with microstamping?

Introducing the new Glock V switch. It's just a proof of concept, but if one person can do it, somebody else can, too.

As promised, a video of the Glock V switch

Who needs a switch when you have brushless?

[Glock43]

It was a joke!  The Glock 18 is a select-fire “NFA” item!  No switch needed.
