    3000 rounds through mine and not one issue. Pocket carry in a DeSantis pocket holster. Use the 7 round mags and have the TFX pro sights on it. Been EDC for 5+ years. A great pistol. Wish the ammo was less costly.

    My every day carry is a Glock 42 with Trijicon HD XR Night Sights and a 9 round ETS magazine fitted with an XGRIP for a full three-finger grip. I load the magazine with 8 rounds maximum, plus one in the chamber, to ensure 100% reliability. Ammo of choice is Underwood Extreme Penetrator 380+P. This combination has very little recoil, is very controllable and EXTREMELY accurate! I carry it 24/7 in a pocket holster and honestly it's so light and compact that I forget it's there. The best self-defense pistol is the one you never leave home without!

  • @gidim8367

    I bought one of these because I had a hard time finding something in .380. You have the extremes of either so small it feels like a .357 recoil or clunky enough where it could have just been a 9. I wasn't even that excited about this one just seemed logical ie. A Glock. I went to break it in and really really enjoyed shooting it. I found it accurate, reliable, minimal recoil to speak of and actually just fun. Hitting targets out to 25 yards. I bought some affordable after market ETS high cap mags just for kicks the 8&12 rounders from gun mag warehouse(not expecting much) and they ran perfectly as well. At first you wonder if Glock couldn't have made it slightly smaller but they got it right like the usually do. This thing is .380 perfection. If you're on the fence about it and want a .380 just get it.

      They might... but the 2 times I tried relying on a 32acp in a pistol, i ended up with rim locks in the mags. It was scary the first time and even if I knew what it was the 2nd, I sold off them both. Pretty high quality guns too...not the cheap 32s. I do like the 32acp in a little old revolver, but maybe it was just me... I just can't have a gun that doesn't work. Guess that's why I only have revolvers and have bought 6 Glocks so far, lol.

    A couple years ago when I was broke and couldn’t afford multiple guns. I bought a 42 and turned it into a all in one gun I upgraded it to have Spartan Operator night states that allow you to shoot up to 40 yards I have a tungsten guide rod to reduce recoil and a TLR6 laser light zeroed at 5 yards and it is the perfect little pistol and I just bought a ankle carry holster inside the waistband holster outside the waistband holster and I bought an assortment of magazines, ranging from 6 rounds with a pinky extension up 12 round mag they make 6,7,8,9,10,12 round mags so if I need deep concealment, I throw in a 6 with
    a pinky extension or if I don’t need to deep conceal I slap in a 8 round mag and for home defense slap in my 12 round mag 500 for gun 500 in upgrades I have a all in one gun

    I love mine, adding the Hogue grip sleeve made just for the 42 is pretty much mandatory in my opinion if you actually want to get a grip on it
    It shoots very well at 15 yards, and is capable out to 50 or so but basically this is a close range point and shoot defensive gun, not a combat pistol.

    I just wish the capacity was a little better 😭. 6 rounds of 380 in a pistol that size is ridiculous 😡. I'm seriously mad that Glock didn't at least give us seven or eight in the magazine. Because then this could be a primary 380 and you can back it up with an LCP or something like that. Considering they have the exact same Cassidy I just find it hard to wrap my head around carrying a 380 of this size when I can have a micro. Accurate as all get-out though I will give it that it is a pleasant gun to shoot 100%

    Hey, I'm interested in getting a holster for my Glock.42. Can you give me the information in the price

    I rented and shot one and I really liked it but the 6 round capacity is unacceptable. You might actually be better off with a 6 shot revolver instead. Glock could fix this problem with a 10 shot 42X but they don't make one of those, yet. Now Ruger is making them look bad with their LCP MAX. C'mon Glock, WAKE UP !!!

    IN YOUR OPINION WOULD YOU GO WITH THE 42 OR 43 AND WHY

    • @BudgetGunsandGearReviews
      @BudgetGunsandGearReviews  Рік тому

      I have no opinion on this because I have no experience with the 43. That being said, I do have a 48 and I go back and forth between the 42 and 48, depending on what I'm planning to wear that day, where I'm planning to go that day, and whether or not I actually feel like carrying a gun that day. I suppose my answer would be fine, depending on the circumstances.

      G42 for daily carry in Spring & Summer, fully reliable and disappear in your body. Put Pearce +1 in it, and Fab Defense +4 as a back up. G43 or G48 are perfect for Winter .

      I don't live in Chicago and I carry a spare. Most civilian defensive shootings use less rounds than that, so no, I don't feel unarmed. If I plan to go someplace a bit sketchy I take a bigger gun.

    How is the recoil?

    • @uno4606
      @uno4606 2 роки тому +1

      Since the 42 is .380, hardly any recoil, my 43x and 45 9mm are kinda snappy.

    Brought my new Glock 42 to the range last week. No issues, except the slide release was very tight. Will this resolve on its own or should i have it adjusted?
    Very hard to operate with my thumb, and i ended up racking more often than not. Only fired 100 rounds this trip.

    • @BudgetGunsandGearReviews
      @BudgetGunsandGearReviews  Рік тому +3

      It should loosen up a bit. That being said, I would train to rack it anyway. Racking the slide is a gross motor skill, while using the slide release is more of a fine motor skill. Under stress fine motor skills are more difficult. While under stress we revert to our training and it is better to train with a gross motor skill. You will have a higher likelihood of success if you revert to a gross motor skill instead of a fine motor skill.

      Use the slide itself, not the release switch.

      @MrSuzukiyamaha you do understand that "auto" is part of the cartridge name right? ".380 auto"
      You should really try speaking less often.

    • @Chris_the_Dingo

      "Auto" in this context means auto loading, not semi automatic vs. full auto. As in Automatic Colt Pistol (45 acp, 32 acp, 380 acp) Been that way for over a hundred years...
