Well, Glock have to catch up with other groundbreaking brands, like those based on 1911 and 1975 release year designs.

The Gen 6 is coming, it will be modular gun with serial number stamped on trigger chassis like Sig P320 or HS Produkt Echelon.
This did depart to make G46 for some German police agency. It operates like certain Berettas or Grand Power pistols.

So basically they'll be copying Ruger.

There are enough recent Glock patents in the open sources to see what they are toying with. Whether they do it or not is a different story. Frankly they did so well with Gen 5 that my main wish is that don't screw that up.

The only reason why any politician would want to gun bans is because they plan on doing something so Constitutionally egregious that they should rightfully be shot

 

[Lanyardloop]

Recently finished a John Browning bio, wonder what the Glock response would be if Gaston Glock was still in charge?

Glock has done a great job ignoring goofy requests and complaints this long...we can only hope. I think I have enough Glocks in the Glock box to last this lifetime, I'm not going to worry.

You mean like the ones Gavin Newsome approves?

If all works out well, I'll be getting another tomorrow. It will be a loud little boombox.

Newsom. The ones they haven't figured out how to ban. A more fun to drive CZ 75 offspring aren't allowed there already.

 

[Mozark]

Newsom

Yeah, that guy. The guy who can’t buy a Barrett from the Tennessee folks owned by the Aussies.

 

[YVK]

We should rejoice that we all can still buy from them. Unless AUS govt decided to impose restrictions to whom AUS companies can sell such rifles. I wouldn't worry though, this can never be expected from a govt of a country that imposed licensing restrictions based on "genuine reasons to own" a firearm on own citizens. Meanwhile Newsom has to settle on Steyr, Desert Tech, Serbu and others if he wants to get a .50 BMG rifle.

How a US firearm company can sell out to a foreign company based in a country with restrictive gun laws is beyond my pay grade. Czechs with their appetite for our firearms market at least have their version of 2A on the books.

Ummmm, might want to do some research. Austria gun ownership is alive and well. You weren't thinking Glock was headquartered in Australia?

Yeah, I thought that Glocks are what kangaroos carry in their pouches...

I was replying to a comment about Barrett Manufacturing which is a US firearms maker that was sold to Australian company NIOA Group.

Nope, he’s talking about Barrett.
See the previously posted YouTube video of Ronnie Barrett.
He hates the fact that Ronnie Barrett stood up to California way back in 04. And then they sold the company not to the Aussie government, but to Aussie investors who agreed to keep the company ban on selling to the Anti Gun Government of California.
Sour Grapes against Tennessee whilst at the same time embracing an Austrian Company selling to California’s anti Gun Government.

As for Austria, you might want to review their new 2025 gun restrictions.
I expect you would not like to see them in your home state.

Glock will continue to sell there to whoever they can and no other manufacturer that's unaffected by this ban will agree to leave CA LE market for solidarity reasons.

Barrett did.

 

[YVK]

You're a master mind reader.
I don't hate that he did what he did. I find it funny that he stood up to CA and then sold out to a company from a country like Australia. NIOA can respect all the Barrett's wishes, until AUS govt tells them to do something else.

Funny that.
See post #90.

I remember when Ronnie Barrett pulled out of CA. Everyone applauded. Later Tennessee made Barrett a state rifle. All-American gun rights advocacy, hooray.
These days a company from Australia, a country with such strong gun ownership rights LOL, owns Barrett Manufacturing.
I surely hope that Glock does what it needs to do to keep their business as strong as possible.

I can’t find any mention of Barrett prior to that.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Looks like I’m not the only Master Mind reader…….
We don’t have to read the mind of the Government or Governor of California, or Ronnie Barrett.
Or even the mind of others….
“All-American gun rights advocacy, hooray.”

 

[YVK]

What does that post tell ya? We're discussing various examples of gun companies dealing with state of California in light of state's restrictive policies.
Australia has a track record of severely restricting gun ownership in a wake of one mass event and taxing people to fund a massive govt buyback. Not that there's a race between them but California is actually less restrictive. People in NIOA could be standup guys and probably are but they are still subjects to their govt. Now if you feel that it is not something worth mentioning, then it isn't then.

 

[Mozark]

Exactly.
Barrett didn’t sell to the Aussie Government.
I would think Glock not selling to the California government would have your support.
Now if you feel that it is not something worth mentioning, then it isn't then.

 

[YVK]

No, it is worth mentioning. Glock is a business that has responsibilities to its investors to turn in the profit and to employees to pay their salaries. They aren't in a business of US political activism, they don't pretend that they are, and they actually should not be for they aren't a US company. They sell to whoever they can, they compete in every single RFP, they cut unprofitable lines, and what they sell, they continue to improve on already very good product. In other words, they do everything possible to keep succeeding as a business and staying in business for as long as they can. That has my full support. Acts that have zero practical or even political impact and some may say amount to inconsequential virtue signaling, not so much.
