No, the bill does not ban all Glock handguns, but Assembly Bill 1127 bans the sale of new "machine gun-convertible pistols" in California and is intended to prevent illegal conversion of Glock and Glock-style handguns into fully automatic weapons using illegal "Glock switches".
The bill targets pistols with a specific internal design that allows them to be easily outfitted with these switches. If signed into law, the ban on new sales would take effect after July 1, 2026, and would not affect current Glock owners.
What the Bill Does:
Targets machine gun-convertible pistols:
AB 1127 prohibits licensed dealers from selling semi-automatic handguns that are defined as "machine gun-convertible" due to a specific internal component, the cruciform trigger bar, which enables the use of a "Glock switch".
Does not name "Glock" specifically:
The bill uses a functional definition that includes Glock pistols and their clones but doesn't mention the brand by name.
Exempts law enforcement:
The bill includes exemptions for law enforcement and military personnel.
Penalties for dealers:
Dealers caught selling these "machine gun-convertible pistols" face fines and potential loss of their license
A 1911 can be converted to full auto if a person has the time and desire. These switches are technically illegal already.
I am surprised, because a Glock can so easily be converted, that is has not been put into an NFA category; the Spitfire semi-auto rifle had that happen because it was so easy to convert to full auto.
