Glock Fail! ‘Unconvertible’ V-Series Already Defeated!

Well… that didn’t take long. Glock rolled out its brand-new V-series, the big, bold answer to lawsuits claiming their pistols were “too easy” to convert, and the gun world took about five minutes to prove the point Glock desperately hoped no one would test.
The entire pitch behind the V models was simple: make the
pistol unable to accept a switch, slam the door on conversion, and get California and a handful of other states off Glock’s back. In theory? PR win. In reality? The internet took one look at Glock’s redesigned backplate geometry and said, “Write that down. Write that down.”
Before most stores even have these things in stock, someone has already managed to fit a switch into a Model V. Not hypothetically. Not “maybe with the right gear.” No,
confirmed. The gun community essentially speedran Glock’s entire engineering department while holding a Dremel and a Red Bull.
And of course, the reactions were priceless from the AK Guy. “You can’t stop the signal.” “Life finds a way.” “At max two weeks” became “not even a month after the announcement.” Glock thought they were building Jurassic Park electric fences. The internet delivered the T-Rex anyway.
Glock, understandably, now looks like that meme of the guy pointing at a whiteboard while the room burns around him. They tried to appease anti-gun politicians by “proofing” the gun against a device that (newsflash!) is already
federally regulated as a machine gun.
Instead of challenging the misunderstanding behind the lawsuits, they redesigned half their pistol and still ended up with the same result: a
semi-auto gun that a determined tinkerer can force into doing things it absolutely shouldn’t.
That’s the part the video hammers home: the whole premise was flawed from the start. You can regulate the part. You can outlaw the part. But you can’t legislate away human ingenuity or a
nation full of guys with 3D printers and questionable weekend hobbies.
And of course, anti-gunners immediately moved the goalposts. No sooner had Glock tried to “fix” the problem than activists turned around and
targeted Ruger’s RXM for the same thing. Proving, once again, the political version of
give a mouse a cookie: give an inch, lose a mile.
The bigger takeaway is simple: technology evolves, tinkerers exist, and
gun laws written by people who don’t understand how firearms work always end up looking ridiculous. The V-series was supposed to be Glock’s peace offering. Instead, it turned into the fastest meme cycle of 2025.
What happens next? Glock has decisions to make, California will inevitably demand more, and the internet will continue being the internet. One thing is certain: the V-series was supposed to be the “future” of compliance engineering, and the future just got absolutely speed-run.
