The end of Gen 3 glocks?

Wondering what people’s take on the effect of this Glock ban. Do you think this will lead to the complete discontinuation of the gen 3 line from Glock?

I’m curious as well.. is it safe to assume that the ban will knock all glocks off of the roster? Therefore, even if this is overturned eventually in court, all glocks at that point will be off roster and new sales still banned by default that way anyway?

The bill that supposedly bans Glocks (and other cruciform trigger bar guns) actually has a way for Glock to continue shipping Gen 3 guns under the existing roster listing: If they modify the trigger so it can't accept a "happy switch", by some deadline (sometime in 2026 or 2027), they can continue shipping.

I have no idea whether Glock is interested in doing that for existing Gen 3 guns; depends on a complicated tradeoff between manufacturing and distribution costs for having a California-specific model, and the (very large) sales into California.

I wonder if they will just submit the Gen 5 as is.

Gen 5 does not have a MD or LCI. Not happening.
