The Glock 42 is the smallest GLOCK possible with ultra-compact dimensions and easy-to-shoot features. It features Glock's Safe Action system, which ensures a constant trigger pull from the first round to the end. Three automatic independently operating mechanical safeties are built into the pistol's fire control system. All three safety blocks are disengaged sequentially as soon as the trigger is pulled and are automatically re-engaged when the trigger is released. The frame is made of polymer reinforced steel guides. It has an ideal grip angle and low weight. The slide stop lever and magazine catch are easily operated with the shooting hand. The slide's advanced surface treatment results in optimal strength with significantly reduced wear and makes it corrosion resistant, even when operating in saltwater conditions. Matte surface reduces light reflection. The barrel is mechanically locked and cold hammered. It also has the same advanced surface treatment as the slide. Its extractor acts as a loaded chamber indicator to comply with certain state laws, and its position can visually and physically indicate whether a cartridge is chambered in the pistol.

The most anticipated firearm of SHOT Show 2014 and possibly the entire year is the Glock 42. .380 auto. What Of course, the #1 comment on the pistol is what it isn't - a 9mm single-action pistol. Glock claims, "For years there has been demand among market groups for a super-concealable, reliable single-action .380 GLOCK pistol. Extensive research and development followed to get GLOCK customers to accept the G42." I would question whether most of those customer requests were for the .380 chambering. Despite the caliber controversy, the gun itself is a new generation at Glock. The legacy frame has been shortened, simplified and slightly modified, Which makes the G42 Glock's answer to the pocket pistol market, which has exploded over the past 5-6 years as other manufacturers have released offerings in single-stack, slimmer-framed pistols.tte is suitable for concealed carry.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a G42 from a friend at a local gun shop, High Mountain Hunting Supply. The Borrower came with limited ammo, and virtually every source in town sold .380 assault rifles, except for expensive defense scents. Although my shooting time was somewhat short due to the availability of ammunition, I was able to appreciate the size and shape of the weapon. I've found that not only is the frame pleasantly slimmer than every other Glock I've held, but the contours of the rear and front grips are more comfortable. The trigger of the G42 does not have trigger pulls like other Glocks and the blade is narrower. That's where the positives stop for me, as is everything about the G42 that I found unsatisfying.
The trigger was a beast that felt closer to 8-10 pounds than the advertised 5.5 pounds. It was stubborn and needed more pressure to get the break. I can't tell if this applies to all G42s or just this one, but it was very annoying and made it difficult to place an accurate shot. Recoil itself is felt with round nose 90gr rounds. I had some feeding issues, but with limited ammo for the session, I couldn't determine if it was a magazine, ammo, or rifle issue. Reading other internet reviews, it seems feeding issues are not uncommon. Most Glock seat experts will write "you're just cocking" or "your thumbs are touching the slide, preventing recoil". I suspect it's either the dual recoil springs (sound familiar, Gen 4 owners?) or the ammo, or a combination of both.
I brought the G26 Gen3 for comparison as Glock's previous flagship subcompact. 42 is slimmer in the width department at 24mm / 0.94 inches, but still slightly wider than the Keltec P3AT or Ruger LCP. The grip on the 42 is about the same length as the grip on the 26, which can still leave a pinky finger hanging in the wind for fellow mid-range shooters. The barrel is 3.25", and the capacity is only 6 rounds with standard factory magazines, which is quite common in pocket pistols of its class. The concave thumb recess of the frame has been replaced with a simple small ledge, and I realized that the smaller frame made sense and still felt that I could get a good buy every time.
Because of the trigger and feed issues with the G42, I was still able to shoot better with the G26. But it can increase to the time spent behind the trigger.
Glock G42 .380 Acp
Overall, I think the Glock 42 is a good concept that should be further tested and developed to clear up some of the issues that many others have argued. Perhaps there was pressure from the sales/marketing departments for the 2014 SHOT Show release, which led to the questionable "perfection" of this model. Still, the G42 will fit a niche that seems to be growing every year as CCW permit holders grow and the market shifts to more comfortable single-stack CCW-centric models. The noise brought about a shortage of .380 autos and becoming as rare as the .22lr in my area at this point, I still personally prefer to keep a single stack of 9mm. However, for now, the G42 is hard to pass up and I encourage everyone to try it on for size. Just watch out for its flaws, lower your initial performance expectations, and just maybe the one you take home will work as it should.
Claim to Fame: Made in the USA, the G42 is the smallest pistol GLOCK has ever produced, making it ideal for pocket carry and shooters with small hands.
