About time! Gen5 MOS all day

Do I really want a Glock 34 🤔

[Fnfan]

I hate this state more by the day

I saw the ad from Wilde Built Tactical. Looked like all .40 S&W and .357 SIG models, which I am sure are not big sellers for Glock.

G21 was on the list posted, that's a .45ACP. G29 also on, it's a 10mm. I would expect the G29, at least, sold fairly well. There are very few on-roster options in 10mm available that are not 1911 platform, basically it was G20 or G29. Sucks to see the list shrink by half.

[John Browning]

Almost all Gen 3s except the 17, 19, 20 and 26.

Also all Gen 4.

All .357 sig.

All .45 GAP.

Almost all .40.

Wow.

Well, as someone else mentioned, manufacturers make what sells, and if it doesn't sell, they stop making it.

[Capybara]

I saw several videos from the SHOT Show talking about how the way the market has changed with Glock clones like the Shadow Systems, Rost Martin and Ruger RXM, these new manufacturers are eating Glocks lunch and we don't know if Glock will ever actually innovate or if they'll just watch the consumer market disappear for them as we all move to better pistols that cost the same or even less than Glocks. I think they make the majority of their income from military and law enforcement so they may not really be too concerned that their consumer market share is shrinking as they are passed up. There is zero reason why Glock couldn't make a G6 gun with the necessary stupidity of CLI and MDM to sell millions in Commifornia alone. They could do it but will they? Do they care?

If Glock's GEN6 isn't a modular fire control system they have serious business strategy problems.

As much as the Roster sucks, California is a large market for handguns, and those that manage to get on the roster have a captive audience. Glock totally missed the micro compact 10+1 market, and they are not even trying. What they do have on the roster is now up against new model SIGs and Springfields.

KIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!! managed to ADD a few 1911's of all things. They figured out a magazine disconnect.

If someone is R&D'n a 1911 mag safety and Glock can't get it together with modular fire controls?????????????? COME ON MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a G21 I was planning on selling. This gives me pause, but heck, the reason I am willing to sell it is probably the same reason Glock is cutting bait. If I want the caliber enough it can still be simulated with part swaps of other still on the roster models. But in the same vein I have a Springfield XDs in 45ACP I'm planning to sell as well, and Springfield discontinued that LONG ago. If this wasn't California I'd probably have to nearly give it away.

I am picking up (after the 10 days) a brand new SIG P365 tomorrow. I plan to drop my G43 from my CCW for the SIG. I went out of my way to modify the G43 with a red dot slide for an optic, and an after market 9+1 magazine. I'm just not comfortable how much I changed it from Stock/OEM should I be called to justify my modifications in a CCW scenario. That potential push back on my modifications does not apply to the P365, and it's 10+1.

SIG and Springfield arguably check ALL the CCW boxes for California. Capacity is maxed out at 10+1, it's super small, and is Red Dot capable. If you want to fiddle around with other grip and slide combinations you can without having to DROS an additional gun. If the 365 is too small there are other grips I can buy and make an entirely different gun for under $100.

Yep, I agree with what you're saying. We know Glock could make a killer FCU Commifornia compliant gun and it would sell like crazy because of their name and rep. I just wonder if they care, at all, that their consumer market is evaporating before their eyes?
I bought my G17 five years ago. If I was buying a full sized plastic, striker fired pistol today, it wouldn't be a G17, it would likely be an M&P 2.0, a VP9 or any of a few other better choices we have the roster in Commifornia. In a way, its sad and infuriating. Glocks
have always been around, they've always been reliable, easy to mod, a commodity. That is definitely changing.

That’s why I picked up the Ruger RXM, with that fcu, hopefully magpul will make some cool frame options in the future

[ar15robert]

IMO glocks are pretty outdated by todays standards especially a gen 3.They relied on a basic simple gun while others have better offerings and a few extras for a similar price.Heck i think my canik tp9 is a better gun out of the box too.

It occurs to me with the FCU products once we get our hands on one or two or 10 it opens up a world of options in a Roster restrictive environment.

I would like to acquire at least one module from each manufacture. Then I can replicate after the fact any new and fancy design they might come up with. Imagine one FCU for all 9 and 40's of any configuration.

[Grendel Guy]

Aww, anything in .40 might as well be thrown at the target (be it a threat or otherwise). At least that's the general consensus .
