I just purchased my G42 and fired 50 rounds of hard ball and 12 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense with no problems. Gun did push left on me, the trigger has to be mastered. As far as the 380 vs any other round ..... if I knew I was going to get into a gun fight I would take my AR 15 and my XDM 9MM. But when I go shopping with the wife the 380 is my choice. It will do the job and can be carried easily in a pair of beach shorts. I think I am going to like this gun!
Pulling to the left is a user issue. The "platform" is smaller and it requires you to grip it just a tad different than you do with a larger pistol. Once you really have the time to train with it, it is an issue that is easily corrected. My experience and hundreds of rounds
urjnlegend I have HUGE hands.I was pulling left and low too.I now use my entire SECOND trigger finger PAD to do the work and it stays on target better....for ME....I also applied that to an Archangel Mosin TIMNEY trigger pull and am happy with the results.However I did lighten the trigger pull substantially even BEFOR this problem got worked out.
G42 owners can always drift their rear sight to the RIGHT to compensate for this.I was even using a POI up and to the right for a short time,until I learned to compensate with more reasonable measures.
Most of the service Glock triggers 8+ Pound triggers shoot to the left. The trigger is too heavy. The G42 is the best .380 on the market in my opinion.
Nicholas Estrada lol yes he does that smack of the lips before he starts talking is another indication of how important he believes his information to be and then throw a couple 3- syllable words in there and say harmonics of polymer. That's all it takes to be an expert!
Sure.....usually, but when the rear sight is not aligned to the front sight, it tends to move the POI. Might be something to think about considering these are not factory installed sights. Have you ever installed a new optic of any sort? If not, I can tell you that dialing in a rear sight on a pistol is not like making turret clicks on glass,.
Has a left handed my guns shoot to the right, and when I shoot with my right they shoot to the left, it's easy to understand that whe doit when we pull the trigger
An excellent, intelligent and well done video and test! My hats off to the crew that reloaded the magazines 333.33 times! You've talked about the gun shooting to the left. It's been my experience that in the small guns we've noticed that the light weight of the gun combined with the shooter's trigger pull will cause this too. This test answered some other questions I had about this Cinderella gun, I like that name too! It fits! Maybe I missed it but did you state the bullet weight? What generation 42 were you shooting? Some of the earlier 42s had been reported as having ejection problems. Looks like Glock listened and the later models don't stovepipe. I have a 42 and have been pleased with it. Thank all of you for this test. This was great!
As long as you use the right ammo it likes I’ve had no issues with my g42 or my g48. I’ve seen some people having issues with the g42 but only to eventually realize it was the ammunition. Some casings have a more narrow crest on the base where the ejection gets hung up causing the shell not to pop out as fast or as smooth as possible . Also not going under 90gr in your ammo will help
Thank you for the torture test. I have 1200 rounds through mine already. I wouldn't even consider carrying a pistol without 500 flawless rounds. All 1200 have been with no failures- with 1 exception. I use the new, all copper barnes tac-xpd 80 gr hollow point rounds in my other .380s. The glock will not cycle these. After firing, the slide remains closed with the spent case inside. After 4 consecutive failures, I switched off to Cor-Bon. Since discovering this, I noticed another review stating the same exact info.
M85FSLUVR---you have had that many failures and you still choose to carry this gun?? I don't carry a gun unless it can pass a 5000 rd no failures of any kind. All major UA-cam channels have to tell me it's reliable and then at LEAST 5 torture test have been performed by me personally. THEN it has too successfully shoot 3 caliber including the one it was intended to shoot. That's just my .03 though
Bought one of these last weekend and have put 250 rounds through it so far. I made sure to hunt the gun show for the most recently produced one and got one that was test fired in November 2014, has the latest mags (marked 02) and updated slide lock (-1). So far it has been reasonable but not as reliable as yours. It definitely hated Remington Ultimate Defense 102 gr, and S&B FMJ (although the S&B was old ammo so it might not be the gun). I have fired 150 rounds of Monarch Brass FMJ (PPU) and had 2 instances of slide locking rearward (NOT caused by my thumb) and one instance of round not fully feeding into the chamber. 35 rounds of Winchester white box with no failures, 35 rounds of Hornady Critical with the only problem being the firing pin blocking the first round because the gun was tilted down while chambering. I just polished the feed ramp and have some other ammo on order but as of right now it is borderline on making me confident enough to depend on it...
Hey Guys, I know I'm commenting on an older video, but I wanted to say a couple of things. I am now retired but was a firearms instructor for civilians and law enforcement for 40 years, owned a school, gun shop and range, etc. and was a cop. I personally think the .380 is a great choice for some shooters and has been underrated by many. Yes, it is less powerful than a 9mm, probably by about 20%, but so what? As a citizen's daily CCW weapon where the goal in an attack is to break contact and escape, it's just fine. As a lawman's backup gun I'd say it's good at close quarters to save one's life with. When I was on patrol I carried my Glock 9mm duty gun, and a Glock 26 on my ankle, but I'd be fine with the G42. Next, backyard testers on the internet dump on the .380 because it doesn't penetrate the "required" 12 inches. This is true, but who cares? That is a standard for a patrol round and the .380 is not a patrol officer's caliber. I was paid to do professional FBI level testing for years, and almost none of these guys are doing the tests correctly. The FBI does not, and never has, used four layers of denim in their tests. They do a much more reasonable "Heavy Clothing" test that approximates actual layered heavy clothing. There are a lot of good rounds (I use Speer Gold Dot 90 Grain JHP's) that have no problem giving 10-11 inches of penetration with reliable expansion to a half inch. I'm fine with that for this gun's role. There are other excellent choices and they keep getting better all the time. As Dave Spaulding once said, "You shoot a guy with a .380 and he is going to remember your name." So yes, if I run into some bad guy with 50 extra pounds of prison muscle on him, if I shoot him in the chest twice and he is not impressed, I'll just have to shoot him in the face. No problem, I know how to do that. It's called a "failure drill{. But, but, there are 9mm pistols the same size as the Glock 42! Yep, I own several of them. But as these guys mentioned in the video, they are a bear to learn to shoot well, and hard to pull the slide back on. I have both a G42 and a G43, and they both work fine. But the G42 is simply easier for my students to do well with. And not just for women. I'm 65 now and after 50 years of shooting, arthritis in my hands is pretty bad. But the Glock 42 is still easy for me to shoot. And I trust it out to 25 yards if I have to take a longer shot, because the gun is just a little bit bigger. In that respect it is like the Glock 26, it just shoots like a big gun. But, but, it's low capacity, I need more rounds! Okay, do what I do, carry an extra magazine or two. They are both cheap and light. And if you don't mind your gun being about a half inch longer in the grip, buy some of Larry Vickers' Tango Down 2-shot extensions. They cost $25 each but are worth it, and any idiot can install them in 10 minutes. I know, because I can be an idiot on mechanical things and I did it just fine. I tested them with hundreds of rounds and they work perfectly. I added them to my spare magazines making them 8-rounders, but if you are carrying on the belt or inside the waistband, you can use them in-gun and make your weapon a 9-rounder. That ought to be enough, because as a private citizen you are supposed to be shooting and getting away, right? With the stock magazine I can easily pocket carry the Glock 42. Finally, on reliability, my testing shows me the same as the video above. Mine was 500 rounds because I had to buy ammo, but no failures of any kind. Some Glock 42's had early functioning problems because of bad magazines. Glock sorted this out a long time ago, and even today if you have one of these old magazines and send it in, Glock will replace it for you. Over the years I've owned or tested at least two dozen .380 pistols, and the Glock 42 is by far my favorite. She may not be pretty, but she is reliable, useful, and comfortable. By the way, mine does not pull to the left, but requires trigger discipline to keep it from doing that. This requires lots of dry fire to achieve. In a fight however, I doubt that it will pull left enough to matter. And if anyone is interested, I bought mine from an LE distributor brand new in 2018. Everything worked properly from day one.
If a gun “shoots left”, in all likelihood it is due to how the operator is holding the firearm and his/her finger position on the trigger. This makes it all the more likely, when you yourself said that you did not encounter that with the 17 and full size Glocks. That you encountered that with compact and subcompact Glocks.
I reviewed a glock 42 and had 200 rounds through it. 1 failure to feed that was my fault not the guns. But the slide never locked back on an empty mag. I tried various ammo as well and the slide did not lock back. The video will be posted soon. Thanks for the goon info and good job on the video.
I have 500 rds of my reloads and had 1 slide lock back In the first 100 rds . might have been my fat thumb. after that it has been flawless. Regarding your trigger I was averaging 5.6 lbs than after 500 rds and some polishing in the normal areas im averaging just over 5.25 lbs. if yours is 9lbs I would say something is up with it. Thanks for the great test!
It's all about the US single stack,plastic, .380 acp market niche: Ruger LC380, Bersa BP380cc, S&W Bodyguard, etc.etc. Glock wanted a piece of the pie. (not talking about LCP or Kahr p380) In countries where the 9x18/9x17 calibers are the maximum allowed, nobody in their right mind will prefer the G42 over a G28 or a G25. I prefer the Bersa BP380cc or the Ruger LC380. They are the same size as the G42, but out of the box they can hold 8 rounds. instead of the G42's 6 rounds....
Lol at the shoot left comment. Just bought one today for my gf. My first shots were low left. Slowed down and had zero issues. 5 yards, 7, 10, even 15 yards. Dead center. When we went quicker we grouped wider but our "polymer harmonics" were fine. ....these guys... never mind the godawful shooting techniques, just a faulty gun of course..
WeSRT4 This isn't a man vs. women issue. If you haven't seen a plethora of men violating safety rules, then head down to your local public range. It's an ignorance issue, not a gender issue.
I've never received Gun safety training and i live in a crappy country where we don't get to play with these beautiful pieces of machinery but even i know you don't hold the trigger while reloading + chambering your rounds. I'm assuming that's what she did wrong anyway, i could be wrong :D
It sounds like you have a heavy trigger pull .That happens with the NYC Trigger.When I shot my Glock 19 with the factory trigger, I shot all dead center mass of the target at 15 yds. When the trigger was replaced with the NYC trigger every shot I fired was to the left of center.Its not the gun or shooter its the garbage trigger.
When you stop, talk, take the gun apart and let it cool down before firing again it takes away from the purpose of the test in my opinion. Every one knows that Glocks are extremely reliable and can fire thousands and thousands of rounds. Firing 2000 rounds in a row without stopping that's a test! That's the proof in the pudding!
i wouldnt be to confident about the slide locking back because of his hand, hickok45 had the same problem, he tried shooting it with his thumb pretty much off the gun and it still did it, i think glock made a tiny issue with this gun
Gard's wife did a great job. For what it's worth, a couple of the guys that shot were more recreational versus serial trainers so it showed up in their form. LOL
Do you good ol' boys have any idea of how stupid you sound when you refer to this weapon as a ladies gun? There couldn't possibly be any reason for a man to carry this, or - god forbid - even enjoy firing it, could there? No... Of course not...
Hit ten vendors. Two of them had top line .380 ammo at ridiculous prices. All the other makers were "sold out". I'll keep checking, but it may be cheaper to buy an entry press and load my own. $28.99 for a box of 20? Please!
Upon seeing this video,I purchased this ammo for my Glock 42. I am not blaming the ammo yet, buy my Glock fails to feed about 2 times per magazine. It just does not push the next round out of the mag, which to me means, the recoil spring is probably too stiff, or the ammo too weak to fully cycle the slide. The ammo is clean. I have also had issues with the slide locking back, which I know is a gun issue, and yes I was sure to keep my thumb away from the slide lock. I will not get rid of my ammo, but I am disappointed in the Glock and will be selling it.
+pickin4you Same - my Glock 42 is an utter piece of shit. Sent it back to Glock where they upgraded some parts and the magazines, and it still has a very rough time making it 6 shots without a FTE. Multiple experienced shooters all have the same issue. Wish I would have never purchased this garbage gun. If you Google it, you'll find that the Glock 42 is plagued with issues. This one must be one of the mythical, unicorn 42s that actually does what a gun is supposed to do. BTW, I'm a HUGE Glock fan - have a Gen 3 G19, and I LOVE it. Now that is a quality gun.
Only had 150rds through mine and have no lie about 50 failures. From FTE FTL and stovepipes. Aggravating but I love the gun still. Used several brands of ammo and convinced it's the gun. Honestly think mine has too much spring for the little .380 round
I just bought 2 and neither will run a full mag without malfunction both are on their way back to glock. DO NOT BUY THIS GUN I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TRUST IT AGAIN!!! if you are buying a gun to protect your life and the lives of your family THIS IS NOT THE GUN FOR YOU!!
paul nyhuis what ammo out of curiosity? Fired remington UMC and Hornady Critical Defense flawlessly here for about 500+ rounds. No hangups, failures to fire or eject.
So this is why there is a .380 shortage
Love this Glock 42. Haven't had a problem one. Goes bang ever time I pull the trigger. No ftf or fte.
you mean the one in the video?
I just purchased my G42 and fired 50 rounds of hard ball and 12 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense with no problems. Gun did push left on me, the trigger has to be mastered. As far as the 380 vs any other round ..... if I knew I was going to get into a gun fight I would take my AR 15 and my XDM 9MM. But when I go shopping with the wife the 380 is my choice. It will do the job and can be carried easily in a pair of beach shorts. I think I am going to like this gun!
Bought a G42 a couple of months ago. Had a couple of failure to eject but that was ammo related. Mine works great. It's EDC now.
This is what you call a "Glock Gangbang"
Fukn great gun. What a test, thank you
glock 42 is one of my favorites
Thanks for the video Gard. As I always say, Glock still impresses me.
Pulling to the left is a user issue. The "platform" is smaller and it requires you to grip it just a tad different than you do with a larger pistol. Once you really have the time to train with it, it is an issue that is easily corrected.
My experience and hundreds of rounds
exactly...watch hickok45 for real review
lol yep it’s a trigger control issue XD
@@joefresso even hickock 45 said he shot left with it btw
urjnlegend I have HUGE hands.I was pulling left and low too.I now use my entire SECOND trigger finger PAD to do the work and it stays on target better....for ME....I also applied that to an Archangel Mosin TIMNEY trigger pull and am happy with the results.However I did lighten the trigger pull substantially even BEFOR this problem got worked out.

The Bersa Thunder is without a doubt the best .380 on the market.
The gray haired guy loves to hear himself talk. He summarized the summary!!
Nicholas Estrada lol yes he does that smack of the lips before he starts talking is another indication of how important he believes his information to be and then throw a couple 3- syllable words in there and say harmonics of polymer. That's all it takes to be an expert!
That chewing gum must be pretty good .. put an after market trigger in that thing
Shooting to the left is shooter error, usually trigger finger related for a right handed person.
Sure.....usually, but when the rear sight is not aligned to the front sight, it tends to move the POI. Might be something to think about considering these are not factory installed sights. Have you ever installed a new optic of any sort? If not, I can tell you that dialing in a rear sight on a pistol is not like making turret clicks on glass,.
I would have rather seen a variety of ammo used rather than the 2000 round commercial for the freebie ammo.
Accurate pistol that always goes boom so far
Gen 1 42, its the first variation of the 42 in 380.
It might uhh have something to do with the harmonics of the polymer reaction wtf is this guy talking about it's a Glock and shoots left.
The woman at 8:00 has her finger on the trigger almost the entire time. Even when reloading, that's insanely dangerous.
Sam Maggard How do you figure? Hehehe
Looks like she does but if you pay attention her finger isn't in the trigger guard.
@@mauricemaurice123 She was always pointing down range though.
Underrated Glock. I think it'll be my next gun purchase.
Has a left handed my guns shoot to the right, and when I shoot with my right they shoot to the left, it's easy to understand that whe doit when we pull the trigger
it ain't the damn fun that shoots a hair to the left. it's the operator.

Thank all of you for this test. This was great!
Thanks. The ammo was loaded with 95 grain TJC bullets. As far as I know, this was an early model.
As long as you use the right ammo it likes I’ve had no issues with my g42 or my g48. I’ve seen some people having issues with the g42 but only to eventually realize it was the ammunition. Some casings have a more narrow crest on the base where the ejection gets hung up causing the shell not to pop out as fast or as smooth as possible . Also not going under 90gr in your ammo will help

I'm patiently waiting for the 9mm version
Get the 43. Its never coming .
I love my Glock 42
Glock does not make a "gen 4 glock 42" it's technically the first generation of glock 42
It’s based off of GEN 4 GLOCK.

Thank you very much for this data. Now I know an ammo company that is compatable with the glock.
Nuttin makes me more mad , then someone chambering round wit finger on trigger!!!! Smh

10:00 i guess it was too much recoil for elvis presly there
Pulling to left is pulling to the left. Trigger practice.
G42 is my edc. I love it.
Great pistol, I carry a Ruger 380 or a Glock G43 as my edc.
that one misfire was the ammo not the Glock
So now I know what monte looks like. Not what I expected. Well anyways this is olchevy from the trader.
Why stop at 2000 rounds, shoot until it starts acting up. C'mon Danny!!

Lol at the shoot left comment. Just bought one today for my gf. My first shots were low left. Slowed down and had zero issues. 5 yards, 7, 10, even 15 yards. Dead center. When we went quicker we grouped wider but our "polymer harmonics" were fine.
....these guys... never mind the godawful shooting techniques, just a faulty gun of course..
Someone explained to the lady in the dark sweater what range safety rule #3 is please.
saw that too. remind me to stay away from her when she is handling firearms.

Yeah he seemed to flinch and tense up an awful lot

AAA ammo. Love that stuff. Great price. Hello, from Snellville, Ga
When you stop, talk, take the gun apart and let it cool down before firing again it takes away from the purpose of the test in my opinion. Every one knows that Glocks are extremely reliable and can fire thousands and thousands of rounds. Firing 2000 rounds in a row without stopping that's a test! That's the proof in the pudding!
It wouldn't have made any difference.
Perfect. Thanks guys. Buying
i wouldnt be to confident about the slide locking back because of his hand, hickok45 had the same problem, he tried shooting it with his thumb pretty much off the gun and it still did it, i think glock made a tiny issue with this gun
And I shoot a Beretta '34 9mm Corto. Decent pistol when I can feed it without starving myself.
did the trigger loosen up and become more consistent after 2k rounds?
Well at the end of the video you can see who has the big hand.
11:19 is the guide rod assembly chewed up a little bit. Right behind the outer spring assembly???
LOL it looked like the one lady had more control over the gun than the guys... xD
Gard's wife did a great job. For what it's worth, a couple of the guys that shot were more recreational versus serial trainers so it showed up in their form. LOL
CCW Chris
no she didn't. she has terrible trigger discipline.
at 11:18 why is the firing pin out ? look close that seems to me to be a big issue for safety, i think the xds had that issue and was recalled.
Do you good ol' boys have any idea of how stupid you sound when you refer to this weapon as a ladies gun? There couldn't possibly be any reason for a man to carry this, or - god forbid - even enjoy firing it, could there? No... Of course not...
I think it may be broken in
Big guy with sunglasses is brief and to the point. Older gray haired dude needs to chill out.
Dudes if y’all put a couple thousand rounds through that Glock I hope y’all had more than a few magazines...
The guy in the gray sweater seems to think he knows everything and seriously did he need to repeat exactly what the main guy said ???
Glock Bukake
Its a gun.... Whats a platform?
Considering how hard it is to come by .380 ammo out where I live, this is more annoying than informative.
Hit ten vendors. Two of them had top line .380 ammo at ridiculous prices. All the other makers were "sold out". I'll keep checking, but it may be cheaper to buy an entry press and load my own. $28.99 for a box of 20? Please!
freedommunitions.com is where I get all my range ammo.
Thanks. I'll check them out.
I have shot Freedom Munition as well as fiochi ( i know i didn't spell it right )
9lb trigger!?!? For real?
Is this Glocks revised version or is this one of the first ones that came out?
This was one of the earlier ones.
to much talking
Can you please share what sights you are running?
Who gets to load all those 6 round mags? Over and over and over and over and over......
There was a small crew.
I'm sure y'all could have done without snacks
J Hawk look at this motley crew no way they are making it through 2000 rds without 2x that in calories
J Hawk yeah, what's the big guy chewing, it's annoying.
So how can you have a Gen 4 Glock 42 when there was no Gen 3 nor Gen 2 of that pistol? There has only been Gen 1 of the Glock 42.
Check that there is definitely a G3 Glock 42
Upon seeing this video,I purchased this ammo for my Glock 42. I am not blaming the ammo yet, buy my Glock fails to feed about 2 times per magazine. It just does not push the next round out of the mag, which to me means, the recoil spring is probably too stiff, or the ammo too weak to fully cycle the slide. The ammo is clean. I have also had issues with the slide locking back, which I know is a gun issue, and yes I was sure to keep my thumb away from the slide lock. I will not get rid of my ammo, but I am disappointed in the Glock and will be selling it.
+pickin4you Same - my Glock 42 is an utter piece of shit. Sent it back to Glock where they upgraded some parts and the magazines, and it still has a very rough time making it 6 shots without a FTE. Multiple experienced shooters all have the same issue. Wish I would have never purchased this garbage gun. If you Google it, you'll find that the Glock 42 is plagued with issues. This one must be one of the mythical, unicorn 42s that actually does what a gun is supposed to do. BTW, I'm a HUGE Glock fan - have a Gen 3 G19, and I LOVE it. Now that is a quality gun.
What type of Magtech used FMJ or HP
I have found on my 42 that my support hand hits the mag release. Anyone else have that problem?
I had Colt Pony 380 that my thumb would drop the mag when shot.
Only had 150rds through mine and have no lie about 50 failures. From FTE FTL and stovepipes. Aggravating but I love the gun still. Used several brands of ammo and convinced it's the gun. Honestly think mine has too much spring for the little .380 round
good lord, I took an all day handgun class and we barely made it through 300 rounds.
what state you in man ? what company put on course?
Mark Box That video was shot in Dalton, GA at Protective Measures's range.
At the price of ammo as of 2020, small fortune .50/round
Too much talking, and did he really say he has a lot of people shoot 380's once and had them back, Oh please can't believe that ever.
Shooting left usually user problem.
Yes, pulling the trigger.
.380? I don't think so...My wife's first gun was a .357 magnum. She drives tacks with it.
This is a great video minus old gray hair attempting to sound intelligent to the UA-cam audience.
How is that a generation 4 when there hasn't been 3 previous versions? Not even Glock calls it a Gen4.
Sorry about that. Based on the "Gen4" platform.
Glock had always had a 380 they could never import it. It's Gen 4 just the First American Made glock
Daniel Schneider Ehhh, technically the RSA and grip texture put it into the Gen 4 category for the most part.
Notice this has night sights on it. Which brand? Looks to be both front and rear?
They are Trijicon sights, I think the owner of the pistol said he paid $80 for them.
they should be trijicon HD night sights
WHY
now try it with a Kahr .....
I'm so sick of hearing "platform". It's a pistol not a "platform". Nor is it a "weapon system".
Yeah, but "pistol" doesn't sound tacticool enough.
Leonard Jenkins agreed, its a damn handgun....
I only consider it a system when paired with a holster, a light, a blade, and a spare mag.
thank you
lol I strongly agree.
I like what people say the gun shoots left. no you do
Exactly, a gun shoots left for two reasons. One, the sights are off, or two, operator error.
I'd just like to know where they found 2000 rds of 380
Atlanta Arms & Ammo
Turn your speakers on. He credits where he got the ammo at least 25 times and rightfully so. That is a great gift for anyone.
I have Glocks but for .380 my Bersa is fine ..
What is maximum range of glock 42????
Depends of the shooter, for myself, probably no more the 20-25 yards.
40 cal. taurus slim is smaller
Donut time 😋
Clowns
M&P EZ in 380acp
it is not his thumb, these piece of shit block 42 are notorious for slide lock while still having rounds in the mag... I hate my 42
I just bought 2 and neither will run a full mag without malfunction both are on their way back to glock. DO NOT BUY THIS GUN I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TRUST IT AGAIN!!! if you are buying a gun to protect your life and the lives of your family THIS IS NOT THE GUN FOR YOU!!
paul nyhuis what ammo out of curiosity? Fired remington UMC and Hornady Critical Defense flawlessly here for about 500+ rounds. No hangups, failures to fire or eject.
Robert S. UMC, federal and winchester
got it back from Glock today will shoot it wednesday and let you know, but it looks like they replaced all the mags
Lol looks like I'm not the only one with a glock love hate relationship.
