Glock sued Connecticut officials in Hartford federal court Monday over a law banning manufacture, sale, and import of some semiautomatic pistols. Signed by Governor Ned Lamont, it targets pistols that could be converted to automatic fire and makes violations a Class D felony with up to five years in prison and $5,000 fines. Glock wants an injunction plus confirmation its Slimline, V Series, and Gen 6 models are exempt, after ATF found a Gen 6 pistol's steel features blocked conversion devices.

Shadow Systems and the National Shooting Sports Foundation sued the same day to block the October 1 effective date, noting wide sales to civilians and Connecticut troopers since 2022. Attorney General William Tong said he would defend the law, and California and Maryland have similar bans.
