Glock 994 up, 94 down n. 1) An Austrian corporation, known for it's fine pistols, though it also manufactures entrenching tools and knives. Glock pistols are unique in that they have no external safties, and are made with high-impact polymers - though they are 80% steel, and will set off metal detectors. 2) Gaston Glock, the company's founder and President. 3) Slang: An expensive-looking semi-automatic pistol. 1) The robbers pulled out Glocks and pointed them at the bank employees. 2) I had a chat with Mr. Glock. 3) "Yo' G, hook me up wit' 'dat Glock!"

It's made out of polymer and steel, and is available in three sizes: full-size, compact and sub-compact. It has three safeties, but none are user-operated. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a 'plastic handgun' you jackass. "I just purchased a full-sized Glock in .40S&W."

Snutz Jul 16, 2003 share this 3. glock 263 up, 84 down Contrary to popular belief, the Glock is not just the preferred gun of gangsters and other criminals, but also the preferred gun of 40% of the US's law enforcement agencies, as well as that of several government agencies. This is because it is an inexpensive, lightweight, and overall very reliable handgun. The newest Glock, the G37, is chambered to fire a new custom .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) cartridge, which is nothing more than a necked down .45 ACP round. get this def on a mug by anonymous Aug 9, 2003 share this 4. glock 175 up, 44 down 1.An Austrian company that manufactures handguns and other combat equipment, and their products, especially the handguns. 2. Slang generic terms about guns: n. any handgun (usu. that looks 'gangsta'; v. to shoot someone (often with particular implications). This excerpt is about the guns. Existing definitions on this site accurately portray the specifications of Glock pistols--what cases they shoot, available frame sizes, who uses and likes them. Some major points are missing from the existing definitions, though. First, one advantage of polymer frames is weight reduction, and weight is a major concern for concealed carry weapons (CCW). This is one reason why gangs (who know something) like them, why gun nuts like them, and why certain LEO divisions like them (not always an issue for LEO, however). One-shot ceramic guns do exist--these have nothing to do with Glocks, and Glocks were never intended to bypass metal detectors. Just to shed unneeded weight. But there are qualms about Glocks as CCW choices. See below. (But I MUST add that the preferred CCW pistol if size and weight are the main issues, but stopping power (i.e., >.380), is the Kahr PM 9 / PM 40. The Kahr PMs are smaller and lighyer than anything, and very reliable.) Second, there are two things about the grip that people don't like. One is that the angle of the grip differs from 1911's, and people who are used to shooting these don't like the angle. Very understandable. Also, they are bulky and boxy, and the feel is not very intuitive. Third, part of the grip gripe has to do with the fact that ammo is stacked diagonally, so that mags have higher capacity. This is an advantage if you plan to be in a TV shootout and need 15-17 rounds in one mag, or plan on missing the target and hitting civilians, houses, etc., but it's a disadvantage in that the added capacity is added weight (remember advantage #1?), and grip girth (#2). In fairness, the capacity and reasonable size and weight make the Glock 19 ideal for both carry and home protection ... assuming the owner is proficient.
