GLOCK has announced a sweeping revision of its commercial pistol lineup. As part of a strategy to “focus on the products that will drive future innovation and growth,” the Austrian manufacturer is discontinuing dozens of older models. While the company assures customers that support and parts availability will continue for discontinued models, shooters and collectors are taking notice.

This moment signifies the close of a defining chapter in Glock’s history and the dawn of a new era for the brand’s evolution.

According to the official “Discontinued Commercial Pistol Models” list on Glock’s website, a substantial number of Generation 3 and Generation 4 along with Generation 5 models are no longer in production.

Among the listings are:

G17 – Gen4
G17 MOS – Gen4 | Gen5
G17L – Classic | Gen3
G17L MOS – Gen5
G19 – Gen4
G19 MOS – Gen4
G20 – Gen3 | Gen4
G21 – Gen3 | Gen4
G21SF
G22 – Gen3 | Gen4 | Gen5
G22 MOS – Gen5
G23 – Gen4
G24
G26 – Gen4
G27 – Gen3 | Gen 4 | Gen5
G29 – Gen3 | Gen 4 | Gen5
G29SF
G30 – Gen3 | Gen 4 | Gen5
G31 – Gen3 | Gen4
G32 – Gen3 | Gen4
G33 – Gen3 | Gen4
G34 – Gen3 | Gen4
G34 MOS – Gen4 | Gen5
G35 – Gen3 | Gen4

The reasoning cited by Glock is less about regulation and more about optimizing their commercial portfolio and allocating resources to next-generation platforms, hinting at forthcoming innovations that could redefine the company’s product lineup.

Glock states the move is strategic: by slimming down their current offerings, they can better support innovation, quality, and future growth. “In order to focus on the products that will drive future innovation and growth, we are making a strategic decision to reduce our current commercial portfolio,” the company explains. The takeaway is clear: many familiar Glocks will soon move from production lines to legacy status.

Glock reassures consumers that support and parts availability for discontinued models will continue. “Just like we do with previous generations. We will continue to service discontinued models,” the company says. Current owners of these pistols need not panic about reliability or parts support, but for those looking to purchase one of the discontinued models, now is likely the final window. After production ceases, inventory will gradually dwindle, and prices may react accordingly.

If you’re shopping for a Glock that’s now tagged “Discontinued,” this could be your last chance to acquire certain models before they’re gone for good. For collectors, that designation may elevate desirability and potentially value. For practical shooters, it’s worth thinking ahead about parts, magazine compatibility, and aftermarket upgrades. Meanwhile, law enforcement and agency clients are reportedly unaffected operationally: Glock emphasizes full commitment to supporting duty users and IOP programs.

Glock’s decision to cut dozens of pistol variants marks a pivotal moment in the firearms market. If you’ve been eyeing a Gen 3, Gen 4, or Gen 5 Glock that’s now discontinued, this is a moment to take note and perhaps act.
