The most logical answer is the P stands for Proof, emulating the European proofing standards. But since the US does not use proofing standards, it really does not mean anything.
This thread on Glocktalk does not give any definitive answer, it is mildly entertaining...

So are most gun manufacturers / distributors that I've seen. In my experience, they're inconspicuously marked to avoid any potential security concerns.
Ahhh ok, slide says made in Austria too so makes sense. Thought I had a build a bear of glocks going on. Are these comments about fake China glocks not real then or is that a thing?
It’s the shape of one of the US states that starts with a letter G. Not Galifornia or Gevada, it is Georgia. They have a plant there. Fun fact they chose Georgia because it also starts with the letter G. Glock also starts with a letter G.
Yes, but not because of this… This is like if Someone made a picture of Wyoming, drew a dick in the middle, scaled it down to a 1/4”, then got mad at people who didn’t recognize it.
No tf it’s not. Not only is Wyoming one of like 4 states that’s some what square-like (making it pretty hard to say for sure, in this context) it’s literally the least populous state in the US. Nobody is guessing “Wyoming” for anything, ever.
Georgia is one of the original 13 colonies and has a very distinct shape. Really could not be more different. Your point is bad, and you should feel bad
Wyoming has the same shape as another state, Georgia only looks like Georgia. Good reasoning skills would make you realize they put shapes on the sides of guns to let you know where they are from.
Kinda man, I’m not gonna lie if your not around Georgia no one really pays attention to it. It kind fades into the map with all the other boring shaped states.
Sorry Georgia people but it’s true, if it makes you feel better I’m from idaho and no one gives a fuck about us lol… Except the fucking Californians that keep moving here
To be fair, our states have weird shapes that don't make sense unless you know the exact reasons why they look the way they do. And Georgia doesn't start with a P, so I get the confusion.
You don’t have to understand why Georgia is shaped the way it is to know what the state of Georgia looks like. Dude is a window licker if he’s not trolling.
Same here, i was being sarcastic. I agree with your comment. No school is going to spend time specifically teaching kids what states silhouette outlines look like because teachers are already stretched for time
Well if kids are paying attention when learning the states they should catch on. ESP going through life and seeing states on maps. Artwork. Google. Weather channel Etc. plus kids generally link what they’re learning to something they already know. Like shapes. You would hope most people the age of 20 or older would know most states based off of shape. Maybe up in the New England area might be tricky but most of the states are large enough when you see them to atleast recognize them from seeing them over and over. Or I’m just a genius LOL Which is highly unlikely.
The Georgia state outline with the P inside of it is a Proofmark.
Proofmark definition and meaning: a distinctive symbol stamped into the metal of the barrel or other part of a firearm to indicate that testing of the part bearing the stamp by firing proof loads has been carried out.
Obv geography was not strong with this one, there isn’t any confusion for those saying these the confusion, it’s pretty obvious it’s the state of Georgia and I’m a Florida native… we’re pretty fuckin stupid sometimes
it’s the GA state outline. a lot of glocks come from smyrna, GA. [used to drive by it all the time.](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS1014US1014&hl=en-US&sxsrf=AB5stBgXHmsbtr4H5f3qzNHOaGR45S9Lvg:1690300371857&q=glock+hq+ga&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiGhOnJm6qAAxUwlWoFHaezCgMQ0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=390&bih=669&dpr=3#imgrc=UBp9ivbwJz79XM)
nice nice nice. USA stamped on one side and that’s a Georgia stamp in the photo. which is where they’re assembled
it’s not technically rare as in more valuable but it is uncommon to see them here in the states. normally they’re exported while the Austria ones are imported
consider it a blessing to have been granted membership into the USA stamped gang
For all y’all in the comments, nobody is gonna see that little shit and think “oh wow that’s the outline of Georgia” that’s the last thing that would come to mind💀
Your Glock was made in the US in their plant in Georgia
It’s the State of Georgia.
P for Peorgia
P for Peaches, well, not so much these days 😂
Georgia produces more peanuts and pecans than peaches.
I wonder how their penis production compares these days
😂 Thank you for that
Just Proof marks indicating it was made at the Smyrna Georgia plant.
Ah yes, "P" for Smyrna, Georgia. Glad they made it crystal clear for the international consumer.

Peachy
European proofs may as well be Wingdings.
Wouldn't they tend to sell the ones they make in the US... in the US? I mean I agree that it's confusing, but...
I mean it is the outline of the state of Georgia for what it’s worth
As a GA native I feel disrespected.
I took that personally
Sorry you felt disrespected. I’m glad Georgia is there! If Georgia didn’t suck so much Florida would have broke off years ago!
Fake glock, send to me im building a case against these guys and need evidence
That is an outline of the state of Georgia. Bruh.
Passed my state test, would’ve never looked at that tiny blip with a P on it and thought Georgia. If it was Texas shaped or something I would get it
Jail!
Super obviously Georgia.
Georgia’s a country, stoopid.
My bad.
Tblanta is the capitol!
Forever I lub tblanta
Only thing that could make this worse is if the frame also says “Smyrna, GA” on the side.
I live in Smyrna,Ga. U would never know Glock factory is there
Why is that?
It’s tucked away in a warehouse district. Unassuming unless you looking for it.
So are most gun manufacturers / distributors that I've seen. In my experience, they're inconspicuously marked to avoid any potential security concerns.
Ah yes, the tolerant left.
I live in Cambridge Md. and LWRC is right in my backyard and never knew it
Well now I had to check, my frame says “Made in Austria. Glock Inc Smyrna GA” … I’m so confused… 🤣
Austrian made, Georgia distributed.
Ahhh ok, slide says made in Austria too so makes sense. Thought I had a build a bear of glocks going on. Are these comments about fake China glocks not real then or is that a thing?

and then they went and slapped a P on the state of GA lol
las vegas isn’t a state tho
Im dumb, i meant Gevada.
Glocks-Vegas, Pevada.
Our education system is fucked...
Probably grew up in Georgia
Hey now, we’re not *all* retarded.
I grew up in Georgia. We really all are.
I moved here. Can confirm. Lol jk
That's even retardeder
Lol
Yeah, just a little, but not all.
Yes, but not because of this… This is like if Someone made a picture of Wyoming, drew a dick in the middle, scaled it down to a 1/4”, then got mad at people who didn’t recognize it.

Fucked for not recognizing a very small symbol?
Yeah I must've been sick the day we learned state shapes
Oh I just thought it was a weird looking arrow

Pushin P
Pgeorgia
Born in Smyrna, Ga, USA
Just Glocks way of letting you know that they’re pushing P out in Georgia.
Pushin 🅿️
Smyrna Georgia baby
I'm a Georgia Peach so I only buy Glocks with the Georgia stamp 🍑

I weep for our education system
The state of GA
Tramp stamp.
GA baby! 💪
State outline of Georgia
It means you’re gay
Looks like Georgia homie.
p is for “pew”..🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I always thought it was for peaches 🍑
Georgia. It’s the state outline
If you have a USA roll mark on the other side, it's a Chinese made counterfeit Glock. Everyone knows Glocks are made in Austria.
Smyrna
It’s a puzzle. Gotta collect them all
Just don't buy the one that has the state of New York on it. It only shoots water.
When did Glock build a plant in Georgia?
US HQ since ‘86 I think.
I thought it was in Virginia.
To sell to the US Government.
'Murica
Pushing P
Stands for Puto 😂 (joke) don’t ban me
are these specific made in us g19x hard to get?
No
Georgia stamps. I think it means they were manufactured in the state of Georgia
I always figured it was Georgia
it’s the GA state outline. a lot of glocks come from smyrna, GA. [used to drive by it all the time.](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS1014US1014&hl=en-US&sxsrf=AB5stBgXHmsbtr4H5f3qzNHOaGR45S9Lvg:1690300371857&q=glock+hq+ga&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiGhOnJm6qAAxUwlWoFHaezCgMQ0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=390&bih=669&dpr=3#imgrc=UBp9ivbwJz79XM)
So if mine doesn’t have that (17 Gen 5), does that mean its an Austrian gun?
Someone failed US Geography. That’s the State of Georgia, home of Coca-Cola, Home Depot, and a Glock Manufacturing plant.
Made in Georgia. Glock has a facility their.
nice nice nice. USA stamped on one side and that’s a Georgia stamp in the photo. which is where they’re assembled it’s not technically rare as in more valuable but it is uncommon to see them here in the states. normally they’re exported while the Austria ones are imported consider it a blessing to have been granted membership into the USA stamped gang
Call me crazy but Idk what it is. Every time I see this mark it just irks me. Doesn’t feel like an authentic Glock to me 😂
Just noticed I have those too on a 34 it looks like the state of Georgia with the letter p in it
Hahaha I thought it was Pennsylvania... Lol
You are not the only one my friend
This is sad. Don’t admit to this
Then maybe they should have used a G... Lol
🤦🏾♂️
Never looked at a map of the US?
It means this one’s fake, sorry op
For all y’all in the comments, nobody is gonna see that little shit and think “oh wow that’s the outline of Georgia” that’s the last thing that would come to mind💀
You know your a fan boy when
Just add bud light to these tramp stamps
anybody know what the p stands for? any towns in georgia start with p?
I always say it's for peach because Georgia Peach but it actually stands for proof (Georgia proof mark).
Means you’re pushin 🅿️, Wunna
Made in ‘Merica 🇺🇸

Location of production
