I've got one on order. I was going to get another 21(full size .45), but when I found out the 42 was coming out, decided that since the 21 is already too big to conceal, might as well get the longer barrel and sight radius.
My question is...does it shoot better than the 21?

The 42 is a 380 not a 45. The model 41 is 45 acp.

Would you be able to do a side by side comparison with the Rohrbaugh?

It's a little larger than I thought it would be.

I concur on this!! Why would I carry .380 when I can carry 9 miike mike!!

A lot of people can not shoot a small 9mm accurately.

I guess so, but at the normal self defense distance, I'm not entirely worried about a "lack"of accuracy..

I,d still like a 9!! 8)
