Glock Switches Everywhere? Glock’s Putting Out Fires (Maybe!)

-
Happy Friday — Quick legal soap opera update so you can sound smarter than Karen at the gun store.
TL;DR: Glock is phasing out most legacy pistols (keeping Slimline) and pushing new “V models” that make the TEMU auto-sear trickier to use. People are screaming. Lawyers are nodding. Criminals are… still criminals.
Why? Criminal use of Glock “switches” has skyrocketed — ATF seizures jumped from 148 in 2019 to 5,816 in 2023. Chicago alone found around 1,300 switch-equipped Glocks last year. Cue lawsuits from Chicago, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, Baltimore, and a shiny new California law (AB 1127) banning “readily convertible” pistols. In short, Glock is staring down hundreds of millions of Dollars in risk starts to look like a company chooses to survive. Them lawyers got to be sweating bullets (See what we did there?).
Let’s be real: when you’re the Glock of the world, every move becomes a national headline. Throw in the GunRage Index (Infringement × Visibility ÷ Necessity), and you’ve got the formula for the internet losing its mind. Few other companies did the same thing (Ahem… TommyBuilt) after ATF pressure and nobody roasted them because… nobody heard about it.
What this means for you (practically):
-
If you like older Glock models, expect some last-run chasing and collector interest (Quick sales pitch: We still have Glock 19 and 17 gen 5 MOS)
-
If you’re on the “Glock got woke!” side — breathe. This reads like risk management not being handled correctly (Depending on who you talk to)
Damage Factory take: Glock may not have any choices – They read the writing on the courtroom wall and chose to reforge on their terms. Less drama, more insurance policy.
Either way, we still have some legacy Glocks in stock.
This is a half-ass sales pitch and public service announcement rolled into one email. Forgive us — but we can use your business.— The Damage Factory Crew
