Glock is displaying its Gen6 pistol line at SHOT Show 2026, and the pistols are now arriving at authorized dealers across the United States. The release is the company's official launch of its sixth generation of pistols. Glock's press release confirms the announcement and the show-floor display.
What Was Announced
The Gen6 lineup includes three models: the GLOCK 17 Gen6, GLOCK 19 Gen6, and GLOCK 45 Gen6. Attendees can handle the pistols at the Glock booth for the duration of the show, and company product experts are on hand to walk visitors through the platform.
Key Details

What It Means for Gun Owners
The changes are aimed at grip, trigger feel, and optic mounting, which are the areas most owners will notice first when handling the pistols. Glock says the Gen6 models keep the company's existing three internal safeties. Anyone interested in the update can find a dealer through Gen6.GLOCK.com, and the release does not list pricing, so buyers will need to check with local dealers for current costs.
Bottom Line
Gen6 is Glock's update to its core duty and carry lineup, with changes focused on grip, trigger, and optic readiness. The pistols are now shipping, and the best way to judge the changes is to handle them at a dealer or the SHOT Show booth.
