Glock 42 Image

[Laxguy59]

12 pages of G42 bashing and I do not see one post of anybody shooting one yet but all criticize like they have owned one and shot thousands of rounds down the barrel. Well I own one and have put thousands of rounds down the barrel (not one failure). My wife wanted a carry gun and we rented many 380, 9mm and a few .40 cal pocket guns. She liked the lower recoil of the .380 pocket guns. My boys and myself are Glock fans I carry a G22 with several mods and both my boys carry G22's one stock, one with slight mods. We do not think Glocks are particularly good looking guns but customer service is second to none and the gun goes boom each and every time the trigger is pulled it is basically the AK47 of the pistol world and for that reason we carry Glocks. My wife wanted something a little better looking but decided on the Glock because of its reputation. She was one of the first to get a G42 in GA that I know of and paid $450 for it. We shot it for months and she carried it, well she likes to train with it and it is not a target pistol and it is really not that much fun to shoot many rounds through it, so she got some mag extensions for it when they finally came out and that helped with target shooting immensely. Now she has moved on to a Springfield XDS 9mm 4inch and loves that gun (long story that I am not even sure I understand completely, the mind of a woman....oh well). Every single person that shot the G42 loved it and many of these people already had pocket guns but all said they would love to have the G42. Now you say they are just being polite, maybe but after a few shots that smile tells me they are sincere. I took over carrying the G42 mainly cause I like the little bugger and it is easier to conceal in summer cloths then the G22. The G22 is my cold weather carry gun/truck gun. Now I know most are not fans of the .380 but a properly placed bullet will stop 99% of the bad guys and for those that it does not I can pack a lot more kinetic energy from my fist and 6'3" 280 pounds of pissed off adrenaline filled protect my self and family mindset then any .380. No matter what you choose to carry practice with it, shoot it often become comfortable with it and get some training in some form of self defense, pay attention to your surroundings, use common sense, hell maybe move to a better area if you have crack heads, meth heads on every corner but get prepared. Carry on

Because the last post was on 2013

One of our members did shoot and review it, in fact he shot it 2000 times in one day and had a professional firearm instructor review it.
