Amidst Mounting Political Pressure, Glock Quietly Discontinues 35 Pistol Models

I must have missed this a week ago. 
I guess the assumption is this is about the full auto switches and some states going after them about it.  Includes pretty much all the models I like.

All Glocks work alike, so that would be all of them they want to ban, right?

I am not sure what is left aside from the single stack pistols. 

[HeroHog]

Sooooo, Glock folding and going tits-up?

[WLJ]

Any word on a possible Gen 6? Redesigned in a way so that they won't readily take switches?

G45/19X is not on the list.

Off the top of my head: Gen 5 G45 with and without optics, Gen 5 G19 with and withput optics, G19x, Gen 5 G26 with and without optics, the whole G43 family (optics, no optics, X, short grip), the G43 variants, and G47 are all sticking around.

That's probably 80% of their sales right there.

Also it sounds like they'll keep selling Blue Label to agencies for some of those models.

The news threw the juicy switch tidbit in there, but I'd bet they are just streamlining and cutting low sellers in front of what looks to be a 4 year or longer dip in the US commercial gun industry.

Pruning SKUs to what sells best.  Someone I follow on the Book of Faces has access to manufacturer sales data, and said the same thing.

From one of the OP links, I guess part of it was that they were supporting the CA handgun roster by keeping the gen3&4 guns in production.

[Bogie]

Are they not discontinuing Gen 1, 2, and 3?
 
Oh...
 
Nevermind...
