Glock V models were announced on October 20 in the wake of California's "Anti-Glock" law (AB1127), which targets previous commercial models and some clones capable of being illegally converted to full-automatic machine guns. Controversy surrounding the Glock V models erupted, which was then followed by the announcement of the Gen6 on December 6, 2025. Gen6 is the next generation of Glock, scheduled to arrive on the first day of the NSSF SHOT Show, January 20, 2026.
At readers' request, Guns & Ammo Editor-in-Chief Eric R. Poole and Handgun Editor James Tarr detail the changes appearing in the Gen V and Gen6 models and compare them to previous generations. Were these enhancements necessary, or a detriment to the Glock design?
