No more gen3's huh? What happens to us unfortunate ones that live in California that can't get a Gen4 without the single shot exemption? Guess we will just have to buy used from now on.......

Interesting, you think Glock will continue to make a model for one state in the USA?Gen4's do not meet California's new pistol requirements. Unless Glock is going to make a Gen4.5, or California is giving them a variance, Gen3s will continue to be produced. I waited for a long year hoping it would change, but no such luck.
Supply and demand should cause that to happen.CountryMick said:Wow. If Glock does actually stop making all Gen 3's and Cali doesn't allow Gen 4's, wonder if there will be a spike in prices for Gen 3's in Cali as a result.
They may cease Gen 3 in some models by then but they are presently still in production.A buddy just got back from Glock Armorer's school. He got the latest Glock direct order form (rev. 25) I am trying to get it scanned to PDF, and there are no longer RTFs on the form only Gen3 or Gen4 as options.
He asked the instructor about it, and the instructor said they are not taking rtf orders anymore; once they are caught up with current orders the RTF is done. He also said to expect the Gen3s to be done by the end of the year.
Despite the Gen4 being the newest model there are still many people that prefer the Gen3. They are still being sold new in stores all over the USA and internationally. California also has 38 million of the 312 million population which is 12%. Not a small bag of potatoes.Interesting, you think Glock will continue to make a model for one state in the USA?
The 18, 25 and 28 are super low volume sales and not even legal for US civilian purcash, and the 24, 36, 37, 38, 39 are all low volume sellers that have been rumored to be nearing the chopping block for a few years now.Despite the Gen4 being the newest model there are still many people that prefer the Gen3.

In addition, not all of the models have a Gen4 variant yet so you can't just unilaterally drop a generation as you would drop all of those models as well. From looking at the GLOCK Annual '12 these all don't have a Gen4...18, 24, 25, 28, 36, 38, and 39.
