Congratulations on your new G42. Ive never seen for sale that I can remember a 001 serial number Glock?

Good to go Doc, it’s broken in, and now has a good home.
I have one and plenty of ammo in the safe.

Nice!

(But that beige carpet needs some shampooing to be up to GT standards).

Have you seen Von Hoys place?

I was ready to walk away and shop somewhere else for another one, a non-display model, until I flipped it over and saw the serial number... then I knew in an instant that it was coming home with me

Congrats on new pistol. I love my 42 and it's a keeper for sure. I always have it with me even road trips where G19 is added to set up. In my opinion it's one of Glocks best.

Doc do you have a mag with the pinkie extension?
Which do you prefer?
Pinkie or flat?

I do have a couple of mags with the Pierce +1 pinky extender on them and I really like the full grip, I also feel the pinky extenders noticeably reduce the felt recoil.. but the OEM magazines are better for concealment. It's good to have both choices for however you want to carry on any given day.

Nice! We love our 42’s. In fact, my 42 has replaced my 642 as my pocket carry piece.

For "deep concealment" I use MagGuts in my OME mag with the OEM flush-fit baseplate. It also increase the capacity by one round but without increasing the physical length of the magazine or affecting the reliability of the gun in any way. That way you can have 7+1 rounds with Pearce+1 for secure grip as well as with a flush-fit mag for deep concealment.

When I carry my G42, I always carry a spare back-up magazine with Vickers+2, so I will have 8x2=16 rounds of Underwood 90gr XTP "+P" to protect me.

I been loving my baby Glock for several years now. Smooth shooter and 100% reliable with whatever I feed it. I find it a little large for me in a pocket so I carry mine AIWB in a Vedder RapidTuck hybrid.

Mine's less than a month old, too. There are smaller 380's but the 42 is so much fun to shoot. It shoots like a real gun, and it is plenty small enough to conceal. Here's what mine did at 25 yards with a box of my full-power, range-scrap, powder-coated reloads. I'm very happy with my choice of 380's.

Hey dresser,
Looks like you make cheap targets like mine. I lay a roll of duct tape on cardboard and spritz a little paint in the hole…..

The G42 is very good shooting 380, I've had a few and they've functioned great and shot nicely. I may pick up another one day.

Some who are concerned about the low capacity, carry with the OEM magazine for better concealment, but also carry an extended mag in the event more ammo is needed. Me, I'm happy carrying 6 + 1 in my 42. Great gun.

I've had four different .380 handguns and shot several others owned by friends or other shooters at the range. The 42 is easily the best of the bunch.

I love the 42! I just wish it had a 8-10 round factory magazine without changing the size much like the sig p365

Carry an extra mag. That is a better plan than a mag with 12 for SD

no need to with modern higher capacity micro pistols and it allows you to stay in the fight if it comes to that

I don't feel 7 rounds are a handicap. People who call on a pocket pistol to provide close area denial from a mob (with a double-stack mag) are barking up the wrong tree. If you think you need that carry a G26.

I don't feel that 7 rounds is a handicap under almost any circumstances, if one carries at least a couple of reloads and shoots the gun a lot. I had Milt Sparks make me a D-4C for two Glock 42 magazines. It's an extremely easy gun to shoot well and quickly, even at distance.

Congrats on the G42. It's my favorite .380 and my go to when I need a pocket gun.
