Not going to be great choice for daily pocket carry, but I got turned on to IWB appendix carry with the Bobergs and XDs. Should be a really good choice for Summer.

Great review. Sounds like a good little gun. I love Glock reliability.
-
Thanks for the review. I know you have the Kahr P380, I don't see where the Glock 42 has an advantage over it.
-
Apparently, Glock is still tweaking it with some minor unannounced changes in some production sequences.

Cheaper, shorter trigger reset (I like both triggers), better terminal performance from the longer barrel, and I can work on a Glock with confidence. I didn't want to muddy the review with comparisons, but those crossed my mind.

I put about 200 rounds through my G42 today. I was flawless--with everything except Federal 90 grain Hydra-Shok JHPs. I had several FTF with that load. On the other hand, the gun ran perfectly with Hornady 90 grain JHP/XP, Speer Gold Dot 90 grain GDHP, and American Eagle 90 grain FMJ.
The slightly larger size of the G42 makes it a bit easier to shoot and manipulate than the micro-sized .380 ACP. I think this is going to be a pretty interesting gun.
-
Do you foresee a situation where you would carry a gun of that size with the .380 combination?
Is it about the size of a Kahr PM9?
-
Yes, I would say it is PM9 sized.
I would prefer that size gun to be in 9mm, but I suspect that is Glock's next move.
It is more shootable than a Ruger LCP or even a Rohrbaugh 380 -- just because of the size. The grip is bigger, the sights are bigger, the controls are full size, the slide is easier to manipulate, etc.
For me, I would rather carry a 9mm Shield if I had this size gun, but I can see how some would appreciate the softer recoiling .380 ACP.
This gun is exciting, but the likely forthcoming 9mm is very exciting too. I have been waiting for some company to produce a gun that I like to a micro, compact, and full-size. Glock is getting close, and a 9mm would make the perfect set with my G19 and G17/34.

You need the 17L to complete the set.
-
Agreed. I am looking for a 17L.
