- Spanish speakers typically treat the brand name as feminine because it is shorthand for la pistola Glock, which is why you will often hear una Glock instead of un Glock.
- In many Spanish-speaking street cultures, people might refer to a weapon as la herramienta, which translates to 'the tool'. This euphemism is used to discuss the object without attracting immediate attention from listeners.
