Glock Discontinues Nearly All Current Models

[dwa12479]

Glock appealing to leftists is a Bud Light moment. Unbelievable!

I'd say its less they're "appealing to leftists", and more responding to a lawsuit that could be financially devastating.

Tons of Glock clones out there.....

M&P Shield Plus Performance Center, 9mm, 15+1. American made, lifetime warranty. My current EDC.

GREAT GUNS! I happen to own that same Performance Center 9mm in your picture (which is also my EDC w/Streamlight TLR-6 Light/Lazer combo).

I also have 2 of the Shield PC 45`s. One is the Shield PC 3.3 in ported, the other one is the Shield PC non ported 4 inch model. If i had to give up any of my guns, my Shields would be the very last to go.

So will my Glocks double or triple in value in a couple years !?

Homie The Hoodrat likely lookin to buy.... So..... yeah, price prolly going up.

Doesn’t matter if there is merit or not. The cost to prepare and defend these lawsuits is absurd. Really they need to say we will stop supporting you for this and our guns will not be able to be bought by law enforcement in your state but they won’t do that. Same reason it will cost too much.
I really can’t blame them and I actually support it. Think about it purely from a business and marketing standpoint. We saw a safety concern and we addressed it. Do you really want gangs members to be able to easily 3-D print switches and kill people? I don’t and Glock doesn’t either. Is it the fault of Glock, heck no, but if an easy changes solves all this why wouldn’t they do it. Why keep old models on the market from a business standpoint anyway? I’m not sure this will solve the problem but at least they can say they tried. I think it’s a win for everyone as long as the new slide design will fit on old guns but even if not many times when new models come out old models stop receiving support after some time.

Doesn't mean it won't be expensive.

We all said the same thing about the lawfare charges against Trump...

I am sure some bean counters and lawyers got together and compared the cost to defend the lawsuit against the cost to redesign the whole product line.

And now we see what answer they got.

It's really just that simple.

It's ugly, it's cowardly, but it's just business.

I expect there will be some bean counters visiting the unenjoyment line while looking for new jobs. People be losin jobs, it`s just business.

 

[libertysnake]

so now you actually have to file something

Wonderful. So now home depot is going to be keeping all metal files in a locked case along with the spray paint. Pretty soon you'll need to make an appointment to even enter the fucking store.

Yea, bean counters are notorious for not accounting for the damage that pissing off your customers and employees does.

So I heard that it is all about the switches on certain Glock models and their connection to States lawsuits like NY and CA. Glock caved. Removing all of the ones that can be modified from sale in the U.S.

I was talking with a Sheriff's deputy in my county a while back. Basically the county has a fund of money to settle any "police brutality" lawsuits. The County Attorney and the County Treasurer's argument is that it saves county taxpayers money to just settle rather than go to court, even when the county is likely to win. It's simply a matter of dollars and cents. The way I look at it, that's essentially what Glock is doing here. Along with creating the latest and greatest to get the fanboys to buy their product all over again.

It is.

And it's a very penny wise/pound foolish strategy.

Because while it may be the cheapest way to resolve the one case, it encourages many more cases.

It's like paying a ransom. It may be the cheapest way out now, but it puts a giant target on you that says "attack here" for the future.

This is very true. The problem is that it encourages people to file frivolous suits, and theyre rewarded for it.
