glock

What does glock mean?

A pistol made by Glock GmbH. Plastic-framed, lightweight, brutally reliable — which is why rappers, cops, and just about everyone in between name-drop it. In drill lyrics 'Glock' has stopped meaning a specific gun and just means 'my handgun.'

"He keep that Glock on him like it's part of the outfit."

Origin

Glock pistols, designed by Gaston Glock in Austria, hit the US market in 1982 and became the dominant police sidearm. Hip-hop adopted it as the default pistol reference by the 90s.
