Glock 42

[leVieux]

I saw and participated in the hospital care of two LEO's, both gut shot by a BG with .380[ one round each. Both were severely injured and almost died from those injuries. Yet I keep hearing how the .380 is inadequate.

The lower limit for fight stopper used to be .32 auto.

I hear that as well. That said, a .22 will kill you pretty bad as well.
My wife had a 42. It was alright. Ammo was expensive and I traded it for a slightly larger 43. That was better. That was years ago.
Now, she is on a SP101 in .357. Handles and conceals easier.

A college buddy was accidentally shot w/ .32acp by a drunk at a deer camp. He said he didn't even feel it and refused to believe he had been shot until seeing the hole. The bullet penetrated skin but bounced off the fascia and made another small exit hole.

Any feedback on a Glock 42? Besides zero ammo available, likes or dislikes?

G42 is the only Glock worth buying, I have two. That said, I modded one of mine with a homemade grip extension.

I bought 4 boxes of .380 at LGS in Round Rock a couple of days ago. The price was $66 for a box of 50.
