Glock 42.....

[MrShooter]

Yea...I suppose that was a bit harsh to say. I just can't seem to like glocks.

So the LC9, PF9, Shield, and XDS all are the same footprint roughly, but are 9x19 instead of .380? So what makes the Glock attractive over them?

Lack of recalls...?

Glock doesn't have recalls. They have "upgrades".

Burn!

Conned a Blue Label dealer in Denver into letting me and a buddy see their T&E Glock 41 and 42.

Glock 41: really dig the gun, pretty much a full-size 30S, grip felt good and seemed better balanced than the 21 Gen 4, guy at the store said that it would fit 34/35 holsters unless they were light bearing, agree with Hoov that it seems like it'll be a shooter.

Glock 42: on the fence, grip seems a bit longer than my wife's 26 Gen 3, feels good in my hand, good weight but it was unloaded, will be all over it when the come to market with a 9mm version.

This is why I'm interested. Not sure why you reference the mall ninja? My personal experience with glock has been great. I have had my fair share of them and in an estimated 7000ish rounds down mine in the last 1.5 years, I have yet to have a gun related malfunction. I'm hoping for the same with the 42. They are simple and they work, that's why I buy them.

CAUSE YOU BE! LOL! Seriously Buddy; trust me. You will be amongst the first.

Isn't it still a large frame gun? I'm not sure it will fit in a 34/35 holster. I'll try it tomorrow.

He said it would fit in a few of them. Can't recall which ones at the moment. Will let you know tomorrow.

If it was a 9mm, I'd be on it. I have 0 interest in a .380 gun.

my thoughts indeed

That's okay, guys ... I still want one ...
