GLOCK Handgun Lineup Changes: Discontinued Models and the Upcoming V-Series

GLOCK Reshapes Its Handgun Lineup: What You Should Know

We’re tracking a major development in the handgun market: reports indicate that GLOCK is planning a significant shift in its commercial pistol offerings. According to multiple outlets, GLOCK has listed dozens of models as discontinued and may replace much of its current lineup with new “V-Model” variants (though the company has not released a full official confirmation). Newsweek+1
Here are the key points we’re watching:

  • A report from GLOCK’s own website shows a “Discontinued Commercial Pistol Models” list that includes many Gen 3 and Gen 4 models. GLOCK+1
  • Industry rumors suggest that as of November 30, all GLOCK models except perhaps the 43, 43X and 48X will be discontinued, with incoming “V” models designed to prevent conversion to fully-automatic capability. The Economic Times+1
  • The change may be driven by evolving regulations and greater scrutiny over models that can be converted with illicit devices–an angle cited by city officials. WTTW News+1
    What this means for our business and for you:
  • If you own or are considering purchasing a GLOCK model that’s on the discontinued list, now may be a good time to evaluate inventory, parts support and resale value.
  • GLOCK has stated that discontinued models will continue to receive service, so don’t assume support vanishes overnight. GLOCK
  • Stay tuned: we expect full clarity from GLOCK in the coming weeks regarding what models will be replaced, when exactly the “V” models are introduced, and how parts/interchangeability will work.
    At Red Circle Tactical, we’re keeping a close eye on these changes to help you navigate your options. If you want to evaluate whether a particular model is affected drop us a line.

There is a group of scammers on Telegram and WhatsapApp and likely other sites and apps impersonating us.

Scammers Targeting Customers with Fake International Shipping

Scammers impersonating our company have been targeting Spanish-speaking customers with false promises of international firearm shipping. They make promises of guaranteed shipping and claim to have connections that allow them to bypass customs inspections, including through supposed diplomatic exemptions.

The scheme follows a predictable pattern (there are of course variations): victims are told to pay for the product, then charged again for “shipping,” and later hit with a fake “delivery agent fee.” A few days later, the scammers claim the delivery agent was detained and fined — and demand that the customer pay the supposed fine. In the end, the victim never receives anything.

Do not send them any money. These scammers will take your payment and deliver nothing. This type of fraud is common — they impersonate legitimate businesses like ours to appear credible, advertising firearms and claiming they can ship worldwide while using stolen or staged photos to look legitimate.

Even if they attempted to ship a firearm internationally, it would almost certainly be intercepted by customs and never reach the buyer. In some cases, authorities may even allow the package to be delivered specifically to detain the recipient, which can lead to arrest. Legitimate dealers log every firearm, and any attempt to ship firearms overseas through regular carriers can result in serious criminal charges.

To be absolutely clear: we will never ask anyone to send us money through social media, messaging apps, or any other platform. You can only purchase from us through our official website or in person at our physical store, using secure, legitimate payment methods.

We do not ship outside the USA. Anyone who claims otherwise or asks for payment on our behalf is running a scam.

Our only official contact is:

  • redcircletactical.com
  • instagram.com/redcircletactical
  • facebook.com/redcircletactical

we do not use X, Facebook Marketplace, Telegram or WhatsApp to sell firearms.

We DO NOT ship firearms to any country other than the USA.

Thanks!

Hay un grupo de estafadores en Telegram y WhatsApp, y probablemente en otros sitios y aplicaciones, que se hacen pasar por nosotros.

Estafadores Dirigidos a Clientes con Falsos Envíos Internacionales

Estafadores que se hacen pasar por nuestra empresa han estado apuntando a clientes de habla hispana con falsas promesas de envío internacional de armas de fuego. Hacen promesas de envío garantizado y afirman tener conexiones que les permiten evadir las inspecciones aduaneras, incluyendo supuestas exenciones diplomáticas.

El esquema sigue un patrón predecible(por supuesto, hay variaciones): se le dice a la víctima que pague por el producto, luego se le cobra nuevamente por el “envío” y, más tarde, se le impone un supuesto “cargo del agente de entrega”. Unos días después, los estafadores afirman que el agente de entrega fue detenido y multado — y exigen que el cliente pague la supuesta multa. Al final, la víctima nunca recibe nada.

No les envíe dinero. Estos estafadores tomarán su pago y no entregarán nada. Este tipo de fraude es común: se hacen pasar por empresas legítimas como la nuestra para parecer creíbles, anunciando armas de fuego y afirmando que pueden enviarlas a cualquier parte del mundo, usando fotos robadas o montadas para que parezcan reales.

Incluso si intentaran enviar un arma de fuego internacionalmente, casi con toda seguridad sería interceptada por la aduana y nunca llegaría al comprador. En algunos casos, las autoridades incluso pueden permitir que el paquete se entregue específicamente para detener al destinatario, lo que puede llevar a un arresto. Los distribuidores legítimos registran cada arma de fuego, y cualquier intento de enviar armas a otros países a través de transportistas regulares puede resultar en graves cargos penales.

Para dejarlo absolutamente claro: nunca pediremos a nadie que nos envíe dinero a través de redes sociales, aplicaciones de mensajería o cualquier otra plataforma. Solo puede comprar con nosotros a través de nuestro sitio web oficial o en persona en nuestra tienda física, usando métodos de pago seguros y legítimos.

No realizamos envíos fuera de los Estados Unidos. Cualquiera que afirme lo contrario o solicite pagos en nuestro nombre está llevando a cabo una estafa.

Nuestros únicos contactos oficiales son:

  • redcircletactical.com
  • instagram.com/redcircletactical
  • facebook.com/redcircletactical

No usamos X, Facebook Marketplace, Telegram ni WhatsApp o cualquier app app para vender armas de fuego.

NO ENVIAMOS armas de fuego a ningún país que no sea EE. UU.
