[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4342144, member: 45773"] A few other things to note... I think the S&W and the Glock 42 are very similar and will really be a good comparison. So here ya go for those interested... I also had some issues replacing the recoil spring assembly back into the gun. I finally figured out (on mine anyway) that if I just placed the guide rod in position and pushed down directly towards the barrel on the exposed, round end that locks into the grove on the barrel, it would pop right into place. Maybe it says something to that effect in the manual, I dunno. Because being a guy I don't need stupid instruction manuals. With the standard 10-round magazine I can get half my pinky on the grip of the BG 2.0. With the standard 6-round mag in the G42, I can't get any of my pinky on the grip. The trigger guard on the 2.0 is undercut far more aggressively, and it's thinner, than it is on the G42. That's a huge advantage for the S&W over the Glock in my opinion. With the 12 round mag all fingers are easily wrapped around the grip for a really secure hold.
