Description

The GLOCK 42 came about because people kept asking GLOCK for the same thing: a truly small, truly reliable single-stack .380 that carries like a pocket gun but runs like a GLOCK. This is the result, and it remains the smallest pistol the company has ever made. At just 5.94 inches long, under an inch wide, and 13.76 ounces unloaded, the G42 rides comfortably in a pocket holster, ankle rig, or inside the waistband without printing or dragging your belt down. And unlike a lot of the micro .380 market, this one is made in the USA.

Why the G42 Is So Easy to Shoot

Tiny .380s have a reputation for being snappy and unpleasant at the range, and this is where the 42 separates itself. The dual recoil spring assembly borrowed from GLOCK's Gen4 pistols soaks up a surprising amount of recoil, and the grip gives most hands enough real estate for a full, controllable hold. The slide is easy to rack, which matters a lot for newer pistol owners and anyone with reduced hand strength. Folks with smaller hands in particular tend to find the G42 one of the most comfortable carry guns they have ever picked up.

Same GLOCK DNA, Smaller Package

Internally, you get the same short-recoil, locked-breech operation as the bigger GLOCK models, a cold hammer-forged 3.25 inch barrel, and the Safe Action trigger system with its three automatic safeties that engage and disengage as you press the trigger. There is no manual safety to fumble with under stress. Draw, press, done. The fixed sights use the familiar white-dot front and white-outline rear setup that picks up quickly, even in low light.

What Comes With the GLOCK 42

Each pistol ships in a GLOCK hard case with two 6-round magazines, a magazine loader, cleaning rod and brush, and the owner's manual. Field stripping follows the standard GLOCK routine, so maintenance is quick and tool-free. For a deep concealment gun you can carry every day and still enjoy shooting on the weekend, the G42 has earned its spot as one of the most popular .380s out there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GLOCK 42 a good choice for concealed carry?

It is one of the most popular deep concealment pistols on the market for good reason. At 5.94 inches long, under an inch wide, and 13.76 ounces empty, it works well for pocket carry, IWB, or ankle carry. The single-stack .380 frame is slim enough to hide under light clothing without printing.

Does the GLOCK 42 have a manual safety?

No, and that is by design. It uses GLOCK's Safe Action system, which builds three independent automatic safeties into the fire control group. They disengage in sequence as you press the trigger and re-engage when you release it, so the pistol is ready to go from the draw with nothing extra to remember.

Is the G42 hard to shoot for a small .380?

It is noticeably softer shooting than most pistols its size. The dual recoil spring assembly tames the snap you get from a lot of micro .380s, and the grip gives most hands a solid purchase. The slide is also easy to rack, which makes it a favorite for people with smaller hands or less grip strength.

How many magazines come with the GLOCK 42 Gen3?

This model ships with two 6-round magazines, giving you 6+1 capacity with one in the carry gun and a spare for reloads or range days. It also comes in a GLOCK hard case with a magazine loader, cleaning rod and brush, and the manual.
