Glock 42

[Hoosier Cowboy]

A buddy of mine just sent me a pic of the Glock 42 Single stack .380 just released in the US. Said store had it listed for $399

My wife is waiting to be able to get her hands on one. As for me, well I will stick with my 17.

 

[palerider0485]

i cant wait to get one in my hands. i think ill still like the glock 26 though.

 

[lilruckus]

I am getting one as well. It would be nice to get one for $399 but I doubt it will be that cheap around here.

?......cute lil' bugger,ain't it?............I'll git 1 jus' ta say I GOT 1.......

They'll fly off shelves so fast.......be back order'd fer months.....

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

I would like to shoot it sometime. I don't see myself buying one though. Thanks for sharing the pic HC.

 

[Gluemanz28]

There will be one in the stable as soon as it becomes available.

 

[SubUrbanCamo317]

I wonder when they will do a single stack 9......

Unobtainum?

I was very excited to hear about the 42, until I learned it's larger than a PM9. If they come out with a 9mm that's the same size, I'll be interested, but my Kahr P380 looks like it's safe for now.

I got to hold one today at the 1500. If you have small hands it has a ncie grip. Also it's very lightweight. I will be buying one.

where does your friend live ? Curious , I have only seen one other dealer at that price .

Zx guns had one at the 1500 I got to hold it against a 19 and a 30. I would love to have it in 9 mm. Neat piece for sure in 380

If this is roughly the same size as the S&W Shield in 9mm, what are the reasons for choosing this over the Shield?

Th Shield isn't available in the formidable .380 caliber...

Less recoil (reported by people that have put some rounds though), lighter, caliber preference, it's a Glock, personal preference, etc.

Thanks Chez! It is kind of funny how the .380 gets lambasted so often until a popular gun maker comes out with a new model. As you know I am still debating my carry gun. Personally I am not worried about carrying a .380, but if the 9mm will conceal and shoot as well with minimal increase in felt recoil, then I know which one I am choosing.

And nice job on the 7lbs.!

V, the less recoil would be of interest to me if the Shield proves too snappy(uncomfortable) for me. If it is much lighter than the Shield, I wonder if the recoil would feel much less. Personal preference is a factor for sure. I don't need to own a Glock, but I am not opposed to owning one either.

I had surgery on my right wrist about three years ago and it's very weak now so I had to look for options since I can't handle recoil like I did it the past, I pick up a Shield 9mm about 10 month's ago to see if I could handle it and surprisingly is very manageable and did not hurt my wrist as I thought. I just put some rounds though mine yesterday after a while of not been to the range and I was very happy to be reminded how nice handles as I was thinking of selling it to get something smaller, I think the Shield is a great value as long you can find one at a decent price vs the XDS. You are welcome to put some rounds though if you are in the Noblesville area this coming week.

The Shield is 19 oz's vs the G42 is 13 oz's, that is a huge difference when it comes to carry guns and as far the size it's reported that the are about same so I like the concept of lighter. I had a some point a J frame 340PD (11 oz's) and I really like it as plenty of times I forgot that was in my pocket.
