Glock has officially confirmed the existence of its new “V” series pistols after an unauthorized retailer and an individual not affiliated with the company leaked details ahead of schedule.
In an email sent to Concealed Nation, Glock acknowledged the leak and verified that the new line is real, but made it clear that the premature disclosure was not part of their plan.
The tone of Glock’s message was measured but unmistakably irritated, and rightfully so. The leak forced the brand into a reactive position, robbing them of the ability to introduce the “V” line in the impactful, controlled manner they intended. Glock invests heavily in coordinated launches that align manufacturing, dealer readiness, and global marketing, and when someone outside the organization compromises that effort, it undermines the professionalism and precision the company is known for.
Glock’s acknowledgment serves both as confirmation of the new series and a reminder that unauthorized disclosures not only damage trust but also erode the excitement and momentum surrounding a major product debut.
Below is the email with additional information:
