The pistol features a six-round magazine and comes with two magazines (supplying a pistol with only one magazine is ridiculous). 380 ACP ammunition has improved somewhat in the past decade, as I discovered while testing the G42. 380 ACP pistol, once very popular, was the Star S Model.This was a strong locked-breech with which I experimented a few decades ago. I do not wish to contribute to the delinquency of handloaders, but another locked-breech. Another advantage of the locked-breech design is that handloaders may load the cartridge a bit hotter. The pistol features dual recoil springs in the modern spring-within-a-spring GLOCK design. An advantage of that operating mechanism is recoil and pressure are controlled more efficiently. The locked breech is the stronger system and is seldom used in pistols of this size and weight. In these handguns, the slide blows to the rear off of a fixed barrel.
380 pistols is that the G42 is not a blowback pistol. 380 ACP is a true pocket pistol.Īn important difference between the GLOCK 42 and the other. While some pistols pretend to be pocket pistols, the GLOCK G42. The pistol is only 4.25 inches tall and just short of 6 inches long and weighs 12 ounces unloaded.
The G42 is a 6-plus-1 capacity pistol, thin, very thin, with a 0.95-inch frame and 0.825-inch slide. The pistol is a fresh design, building on proven GLOCK principles. The GLOCK G42 bears a resemblance to the Generation 4 GLOCK, with the same grip texture and magazine release, although it does not have the light rail or interchangeable backstrap. There really is not anything quite like it. To its credit, GLOCK did not attempt to build a pistol that stuffs 10 rounds into the frame. The GLOCK G42 is a slim, light and reliable. And frankly, compared to the current crop of compact 9mm handguns, the P230 is not that small.Įnter the GLOCK G42, a long-awaited and much-heralded pistol.
