Glock G42 - Anyone carrying this?

[TinkerTanker]

My wife has been shooting a little M&P 380 and loves it. In looking for hers, it got me to looking at the other options out there and the G42 seemed like it was a friendly little fella, full of spunk and ready to please. I'm about half worried that the next time I walk by the gun shop one of the little boys might just follow me home.
Anyone have any experience with them? Any FTF or other weirdness?

I don't really need another pistol, but when has that ever stopped me. It's not me that needs a pistol, it's the poor little homeless pistol that needs me!

The Glock 43 is just a smidgen bigger (squeezing fingers together) and packs 9mm punch instead of .380ACP, and carries just about the same as the G42.

Of, course, they'll all kill ya deader'n hell.

I carried one for a year. It's not bad. Lighter and a little smaller than the Shield I used to carry but after a year I decided to go back to the Shield because I can shoot it better (big hands). My 42 is for sale/trade if you are looking for one...

I picked up a 42 when they first came out and carried it until I got a 43 when they first came out. It’s small, easy to shoot, and if you don’t mind that it’s a 380, it’s a great gun.

In my opinion, the 43 is just about as small, just about as easy to shoot, and in a better caliber which leaves the 42 on the outside looking in.

I have one...it's fun. When I do carry it, I have Buffalo Bore +p loaded up.
I'd like to see one in .32 ACP - it could be the G41 or something.

Or something, because that number’s already taken. A 41 is a long slide 45acp.

Yeah, well, it figures. I only know like four or five out of the 30 or so glock numbers.

I think lone Wolf makes a conversion kit for the 42 so you can shoot 9x18 Makarov

You're welcome for putting that thought in your head lol. It's something I always wanted to fiddle with
