Academy getting G42 shipments now

[Mach1Run]

Still love my xds in .45. Though I would like to try a shield in 9mm.

[kingjason]

Shot my friend's shield and loved it. I plan on buying one soon. I am glock fan, btw.

I like any gun manufacture that puts out good guns consistently. They all make mistakes every now and then, but some are way more consistent then others. Hell Sig even made the P250. While not terrible guns they definitely were not great.

[LANTIRN]

For the LE price I was really tempted. My only hang up is the caliber. I carried a .380 for a while but was just not impressed enough to trust my life with it. I am really disappointed this is not a 9mm. I want small, Sig or Glock reliability, and 9mm. I have a Sig 292RS right now and love it. Trigger is a little long but no big deal with me. You guys really like the XDS and shields?

same size as my xds? unless it shoots really well I may have to pass on one after all.

i found this...

i guess i was hoping it was smaller than it is.. not really a pocket gun..

[BlackGT]

It uses the gen 4 dual recoil spring but I don't think it would be too hard for a woman to rack the slide. Definitely easier than a TCP or LCP.
Recoil will be a lot better too compared to the above because this is a locked breach design.

^ this

[spederman]

Gonna pick one up for the wife when the prices come down under msrp which is supposed to be 399. How tight are these? Would a small frame girl be able to rack the slide compared to something like a kahr cm9?

[Chuck]

Frisco Gun Club has a G42 in their "test fire" inventory. It's really small and weighs almost nothing.

[BlackGT]

Some comparisons with Kahr CW9 and G32

[Chuck]

I might grab one if I run across one in that low $400 range OTD. Current carry is a G27, and the G42 is about the same height, a little shorter and a 1/4" narrower.

[BlackGT]

Only other Glock I have is a 32. Also have a Kahr CW9. I can get some comparison pics tonight when I get home.
It's definitely a lot thinner than a normal Glock and a little thinner than the Kahr single stack 9

[YALE]

do you have any other glocks to put it side by side with to compare side? im interested to see how it is size wise compare to one of the other smaller glocks like a G29.

It's thinner than the other compact Glocks, by a mile. It's about as wide as a Shield.
