The Glock 42 is about as trim and concealable as a .380 ACP pistol gets, but that factory 6-round capacity leaves something to be desired when you're running drills at the range or want a higher-round-count spare. That's where this ETS Carbon Smoke 12-rounder comes in. It keeps every round you can see through its semi-transparent carbon smoke body, which makes it easy to check your count and even identify your ammo type without stripping the magazine.
ETS built this thing from a high-grade polymer that handles punishment well. It resists harsh chemicals, handles extreme heat and cold without going brittle, and won't crack when dropped. The feed lips are specifically engineered to be creep-resistant, meaning they hold their shape over time even when you keep the magazine fully loaded for extended storage. That's a detail worth caring about if this is going to sit loaded in a range bag or vehicle for months at a time.
The 12-round capacity extends about 2 inches below the magwell, giving you a more substantial grip and a lot more rounds between reloads during training. The ergonomically designed floorplate makes it easy to pull from a magazine pouch, and disassembly for cleaning is straightforward thanks to ETS's purpose-built base plate design. The magazine is also compatible with standard Glock and most popular aftermarket floorplates if you want to swap things out.
This magazine is ideal as a range and training companion for your G42. The extra length adds grip real estate and cuts down reload frequency dramatically during longer sessions. It ships as a single magazine and is backed by ETS's lifetime warranty.
The Glock 42 has only been produced in a single generation, so generation compatibility isn't a concern here the way it is with some other Glock models. This magazine is designed specifically for the G42 platform and fits the pistol's magwell directly. If you have any aftermarket grip modifications or base pad extensions already installed, just double-check clearance before use.
The ETS 12-round G42 magazine extends approximately 2 inches below the magwell. That extra length also gives you more to grab onto during a reload, which a lot of range shooters find helpful. It does make the overall package larger, so this is best suited for range and training use rather than deep concealment carry.
The translucent carbon smoke polymer lets you visually confirm how many rounds are in the magazine and what type of ammo is loaded, without having to drop or strip the mag. It's a practical feature at the range when you're managing multiple magazines, and it makes it easy to tell FMJ range loads from defensive hollow points at a glance.
ETS specifically engineers their feed lips and body to be creep-resistant, meaning the magazine is designed to hold its dimensions under prolonged compression from a full load. Most quality polymer magazines today are built this way, and ETS backs this up with a lifetime warranty. As with any magazine, periodic inspection is always a good habit.
Yes, the ETS Glock 42 12-round magazine is designed to be compatible with standard Glock OEM floorplates and most popular aftermarket options. The ergonomic floorplate it ships with also pops off for easy field stripping and cleaning without any tools required.
It depends on how you're using the pistol. For range sessions and training, the 12-round ETS is a great option since it doubles capacity and keeps reload frequency low during long drills. Many G42 owners keep an ETS extended mag as a range workhorse and pair it with a flush-fit OEM magazine for everyday carry. Either way, it's a solid range complement to whatever you're already running.
