New From Glock for 2024: Gen 5 G29/G30, G17L Coming Back, and More

Reeves also mentioned the vaunted long slide G17L 9mm competition pistol will be returning in a small run. As the last ones made were 3rd Generation guns, it is unclear if they will also get a generational upgrade.

You could see Glock keeping it a 3rd gen, as there are so many aftermarket parts and accessory makers that live in that space, but a new Gen 5 would be nice and would sell out fast.

Glock slimline performance triggers are also possibly on the menu. It seems Glock has finally figured out that the industry in aftermarket Glock-compatible triggers is raking in the cash, so they might as well get on the train. We’d like to see them included as a factory-installed option.

Glock has been quietly selling G48 MOS and G43X MOS pistol sets with a Shield RMSc directly mounted onto the slide from the factory along with some accessories. The news is these are selling well, and you can expect more pairings in 2024.

A word from other sources is that a tweaked G44 threaded barreled .22LR is inbound as well, which is how the gun should have been released in the first place.

Of course, all of this will be added to the already mentioned Glock 49 (aka the G19L) which is already starting to pop up at retailers, as is the Gen 5 Glock 26 MOS.

We shall see what 2024 brings and will have the full details from SHOT Show next month.
