So what's that going to do to Glock prices?
Due to CA legislation basically banning current Glock firearms de-facto. Due to the fact they can "easily" be converted to full auto. Itself an arguable notion. No matter, the factory Glock, is not taking chances. The financial risk of like legislation spreading to other states, or countries for that matter, their reputation cannot be trifled with. It could be a financial disaster in the millions. With the CAD programs they already figured a response, the Gen V. They are discontinuing all production except for the new Gen V versions that do not have a back plate that can be changed, converting them to full auto.
My question is, even though there are literally millions of Glocks out there, are prices or demand going to increase for Pre-V models? We have seen it in industry many times; post War SA, Pre-64 Win. etc. It's not the fact they are better or anything (although sometimes that is a fact) but it's the spirit if circumstances. Saying you can't have the old anymore. Humans being what they are, and predictable to a point. It will be interesting for sure.
S&W
All depends on the internet hype Im guessing. Same can be said for Pre-lock /lock S&W's. Now we have the post-lock guns. If the lock, guns are going to be so undesirable and the prices are going to plummet, Im buying every one I can 
It is still just *PLASTIC*
At the end of the day, my opinion only, if Glock prices rise it’s due to a “scare,” and if someone pays that premium they are an idiot. Plenty of other choices in the marketplace. I have to laugh every time I see someone who buys a Glock and THEN spends another couple of hundred dollars to drop in this trigger, or that magazine release or whatever. A Glock is as simple a tool as a shovel. No one accessorizes their shovel. Just shoot it. All that add on stuff doesn’t make one a better shooter anymore than add on options to your vehicle make you a better driver.
