I handled a Glock 42 today. It blew my mind how small it actually was. That guy is thin! I knew it was going to be thin and small but I didn't expect it to be as small as it was. That being said, it still felt solid, like a Glock. It felt good in my hand and would absolutely disappear IWB but I just don't have a need for a .380. If that caliber is for you then I would highly suggest it.

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these.
My friend just got one in Plainfield last night for $399. My Fiancee bought one last Thursday for $410. I am patiently waiting for mine...
I'm crossing fingers that Glock takes this design and pumps out a single stack 9 soon. Then keep it going with a single stack lineup to branch out their family tree. I would really like a 9mm in the 42 frame.
Some shops are going to gouge you on the price now because it's a new gun just like the shield was when it was new. Just look at what they are going for on gunbroker. I wouldn't pay over $420 for one. Situations like this is when you find out who the honest guys are.
I held my first glock 42 today at USDS in greenwood. Super tiny. More than I thought it would be. Very good price but I'm waiting for a 9mm version
I would guess there are no plans or at least no plans in near future. It would interfere with the sales of the 42 if they were the same frame size. Why would you own a small .380 if you could get a 9mm in the same size? If a single stack 9mm does get introduced and it is a bit larger, why not just stick with the large capacity 26? Double the capacity for just a slightly larger frame. I would say this is it for small Glocks...just my opinion of course.
Nice video. I am pretty sure I want the Shield 9, but this may be worth taking a closer look at.
Because some people have feminine hands that are too small for the larger Glock 26. That's why they'd rather have a single stack 9mm.
I have shot a single stack kahr 9mm, and found it too skinny for my hands. I'm just used to my larger Glocks.
I don't like pocket carry, and I think would rather carry a smaller pistol like I do my Glock 26, AIWB. And since I have never been crazy about the smaller .380 sized pistols while playing with them at Bradis, I believe I will eventually buy the G42.
Simply because it is a larger .380.

+1. I didn't care for the Sig .380(model 238?) and the Sig 230 was snappy enough that I figure I may as well shoot a 9. The rest I'm not interested in. One comment that Hickok made that piqued my interest was that he said it was a "soft shooter", "really soft". I am thinking it might be nice for my wife to shoot even though I would be buying it for me to carry IWB. I have a .38 snub nose now and as long as a pistol like the Shield 9 doesn't' recoil more than my .38 does, I will have no issues and my wife would be able to shoot it. She was not able to pull the trigger on my snubby until I did some trigger work on it.
