What purpose does the 42 serve?..
What purpose does the 42 serve? There are much smaller 380 compacts out there that have proven reliable. At its size it should be a 9mm without a doubt.
Do they make a .22 lr?
..The larger size should make it a little more pleasant to shoot than other .380s..
the sig p238 is a dream to shoot - don't see how it could be better than that
