Feels great in the hand. My wife is able to shoot and load this thing with ease. Had some feeding and ejection issues the first time on the range. I kind of expected this, being a small caliber. After some extensive cleaning and polishing, we had zero issues the next time. Great little gun and easy to conceal.

I bought this pistol for a very specific purpose, and only after watching quite a few totally ignorant YouTube \"experts\" bash the gun, and then testing its competition. Let me first say that Buds service was, as always, top notch.
So why did I buy a Glock 42, rather than the more popular Glock 43? Because I\'m a professional firearms instructor with 40 year\'s worth of experience carrying guns daily for work, and now that I am no longer in law enforcement, I specialize in training new shooters, all of them private citizens, in the defensive use of firearms. This Glock 42 is my \"special needs\" pistol. Here is what I mean by that. There are many people, including those of small stature, those with limited hand strength, and those who are simply recoil or noise sensitive, who would be better served with this pistol than almost any other handgun on the market, including all of the now popular micro-9mm pistols.
I\'m completely aware that the .380 ACP cartridge is not ideal from a defensive standpoint, and that care must be taken in ammunition selection, but in the hands of most private citizens, a .380 pistol that they are not intimidated by and which they shoot well, and feel they can operate competently even with limited strength, is a better choice than a \"more effective\" cartridge housed in a gun where those things are not true. I\'ve now tested literally hundreds of shooters on the range, and to be honest, many of them simply do not shoot their new mini-9\'s very well under pressure. Further, many of my older and arthritic students can\'t reliably pull the slide back on a small 9mm pistol with its heavy springs, nor can they operate the 12 pound double action triggers found on many small five-shot .38 revolvers. Finally, the truly tiny micro-.380 pistols are virtually unshootable beyond bad breath range and offer only a false sense of security to most people.
Enter the Glock 42. Yes, it is a bit large by today\'s standards for a .380, but that is what makes it so shootable. Yes, it is a .380 rather than a 9mm, but that is what makes it so controllable. And it has the easiest slide to pull back of any .380 pistol on the market except for perhaps the Sig P238, which must be carried cocked, presenting its own problems.
My Glock 42 came out of the box weighing 13.8 ounces with an empty magazine installed. Fully loaded, it weighs exactly the same as an Airweight J-frame, but has two more shots in it and a faster reload. Its sights are much better than the revolver as well, and are easily changed if needed. My example had a 5.75 pound trigger pull from the factory, which is light enough. At 15 yards, the Glock 42 kept 13 rounds (two magazines full plus one in the chamber) inside 3 inches loaded with cheap FMJ, and mine was completely reliable and accurate with Speer Gold Dot hollow points. And unlike many small guns, it is fun to shoot, which means the new shooter will shoot it more. It has rapidly become the favorite gun in my classes among female shooters. I can pretty much shoot any gun I want but I can consistently turn in better scores on defense drills with the Glock 42 than I can with the Glock 43. It also carries neatly in a trouser pocket in a pocket holster.
I\'m very satisfied with mine for its intended purpose and I think if you give it a chance, you will be also.

I just recently purchased the Glock 42 and have put only 100 rounds through it but it sure is a nice shooter. I've been looking for a second .380 for some time and have looked at a lot of different brands. I'm very pleased with this gun and I'm glad I chose the Glock.

I love this gun. This is my edc as its size is very concealable but is still big enough to get a good grip on. I own several .380s and a drawback to every .380 I've ever shot is a long heavy trigger. The Glock 42 doesn't have this problem. The trigger is very light, short, and smooth. Best factory trigger I've found on a .380 hands down. This is the second one I have purchased as I bought it for my wife to carry in her purse. We took it out of the box and ran 50 rounds through it without a hiccup. She loves it as well and was glad to replace her s&w bodyguard with it. Very accurate for it's size. I have put several hundred rounds through mine and it is just as reliable as a full size glock, but with a desantis nemesis holster can be easily carried in pocket, purse, or tucked in waistband. I like the .380 because I feel like the best gun a person can carry is one they will always carry. And I can carry the 42 in my pocket or tucked in the back of my pants and barely know it's there. So if you are like me and want an EDC that you can easily conceal and is reliable, accurate, and has a better trigger than many subcompact handguns with bigger price tags, you won't be disappointed by this little gun. As far as buying from buds, transaction was smooth as always. I feel that it shouldn't take 5 business days to process e-check, but if that's all I have to complain about I guess I have no complaints. Very easy to buy from and hard to beat prices.
