Ill prob get flamed for saying this....but the manual of arms is the same for the 42,the19 or any other . That would be point one for me. Second....after what ive seen in the light pocket pistol market...i.e. Ruger...and a couple other plastics....i think this 42 wil probably outshoot most if not all. But yes......for me?....if i want a 380in my pocket.....im carrying my colt mustang 2.

Just saying.....

Default The problem for me....

....is that I don't want a .380 in my pocket. I really don't want a gun in my pocket for that matter. It seems there is a matter of diminishing returns as the pocket guns get smaller and the calibers go with it.

I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of any firearm, but .380 just doesn't seem to be enough to depend on. Neither does 9mm Makarov. If I were to carry a smaller gun, I would want nothing less than 9mm. I'm also not fond of polymer, but I can understand the issue of weight.

I assume the 42 has the same design as the other Glocks rather than the stationary barrel for most other .380s That would be a plus.

How about a Walther PPS in 9mm?
