Shot a glock 42

[tackshot]

A buddy of mine bought a new glock 42 for his fiancée and brought it over yesterday to shoot and first impressions is that its a glock, 2nd's it shot pretty good and was fairly accurate at 25 yards, in the future if I'm ever in the market for a .380 and have 400 to spend I will get it.
Would make a great summer carry piece.

No one that I have seen even has them in Nw Indiana, Blythes has a waiting list I think, gander has never had one yet. There was one at the crown point show for $450

A friend of mine let me shoot his G42. It was a nice gun but was to small for my hands. I am going to stick to my Glock 26.

My wife has one for EDC. We picked it up at Midwest Guns for $399.

Unfamiliar. Is this a single stack or another Glock brick?

 

[chubbs]

Single stack 380

 

[Captain Bligh]

Single stack 380

That might be worth looking at.

They are a joy to shoot. Especially with a pinky extension.

A student brought one to class yesterday. Best gun in its general size range I have shot. Whole different plane than the Ruger/keltec.

Mine are from Pearce. I think I ordered them from the factory, for $10 each. They didn't do anything for shot placement, but they make the gun feel great. It wasn't that bad without them, but it really makes a difference.

The Vickers extensions look great, but the Pearce appears to give just a hair more below the pinky, with it lipping out slightly. They work great with my long fingers and big hands. They also don't really print any more than stock base plates, IMO, unless you are wearing Spandex. If I wore Spandex, the potatoes stuffed in them would draw any attention away from the gun.
