Took Wife to range for third time and still have issues with 42 & limp wrist (hers).
Ordered the new Colt Corba and should be in this month.
No need in worrying about it. She shoots the 19's with no problems.

I shot a 42 at the range once .. I really liked it . But I had the TCP
I like the Beretta Cheetah , great pistol .. its on my " id like to have list "

Both my wife and I prefer the Glock 43 over the 42. She has tiny hands and the 43 works better than the 42 did. I carry a Kahr P380 daily, that is what a pocket .380 should be. The Glock 42 always struck me as way too big for the caliber.
I was really concerned about the limp wristing sensitivity of our 42 when I first got it. But after a few hundred rounds, now it runs really well and isn't sensitive at all.
Just in time for my wife to decide now she really wants my gun. :crying:
This is what happened to the 26. And the 34. I guess there are worse things than having a wife who likes guns. :dunno:
My Ruger LCP, dependable, long time companion, carried for years and years, has been REPLACED with a G42, in the ultra compact pocket carry role. Since the ISIS terror threat of the past several years, I have only carried it a few times a month and have preferred a higher capacity 9MM instead. But the G42 is a fantastic gun. I can dump all 7 rounds in a target pretty darn quick, perhaps 1.5 to 2 seconds or so. Super fast follow up shots...
My PM9 has been flawless, but I only have about 300 rounds through it so far, so not definitive. I am spending most of my range time these days working on the trigger control, which is pretty challenging compared to the G42. Anytime I get tired of the pattern on the target after 3-4 magazine with my PM9, I can pull out my G42 and make it look better in no time.
That was about 20 months ago. Just bought a new Glock 42 for me to pocket carry and use in the truck.
Put a 26 in her van and a couple of 19X's in the house.
My wife doesn't like hers or the 43 she does like the 19 though. I would love to trade them both for trijicon patrol or mini aimpoint. if it doesn't work for her find something that does.
I picked up a kahr cw380 a year ago for something to put in my pocket...it’s so tiny I can carry it front pocket wearing light weight shorts...
I really wanted the 42, but it’s just not small enough, and when you move up to the 43 then you are so close to the size of the 26 that the 43 doesn’t make sense to me...
That being said, in my experience the “tiny” 380 pistols all seem to be finicky to me, like they really require your utmost detail in grip to get them to work without malfunctioning.
Not sure I am 100% on my pocket gun, but I only use it as a gun I carry when I am not supposed to be carrying, otherwise it’s a 26 aiwb...I like to call my cw380 an “oh ****” gun
In teaching our gun safety class over the years, we've found that students manipulate revolvers more easily, and shoot autos more easily.
I love revolvers, but learning to shoot them well, double action, is not a thing easily done for rookies.
