I see Glock's path as similar to Harley Davidson. At some point in the 80's HD decided that they no longer needed to innovate and instead would rely on brand recongition and marketing. That worked great for them while baby boomers still purchased their motorcycles, but eventually younger generations realized that their designs were tired and no longer competed with modern offerings.
Glock is in a similar boat now. You have Gen X and some millennials solidily supporting Glock. But you're already seeing a shift in younger shooters towards SIG, both with the modular system of the P320 and more importantly IMO the P365 with it's higher capacity. I don't see Glock in too much trouble with their G17/19, but if they don't offer a high capacity micro 9mm that could start pulling them down because that's where the trend seems to be going. Glock was way everyon else in offering single stack conceal carry guns, and they show no signs of "upgrading" to the new thin modified-double-stack conceal carry guns.
