Glock 42 Issues??

[30 cal slut]

I just called Glock customer service in Smyrna.

They said they're still making them and still shipping them.

OP, can you clarify your source?

Stuff like this lends itself to rumors.

had a fellow officer run one with around 500 rounds through it, no problems he only said that the 380 sig was a softer shooter and felt like shooting a .22 but said the glock was pretty nice.

I'm a huge glock fan. Mostly 9mm/10mm though. I shot a brand new one during its first 100 rnds. I mostly had brass to face/forearm issues and on round(last round) flipped directly up about 6" and landed right back in place on the mag follower from slide lock back.
It was very smooth and mild recoil, better than lcp or bodyguard in that department IMHO.

The video was made by Miculek.com. He also has other names on his shirt.

No one noticed the irony of his review of the Glock pistol wearing his Smith & Wesson shirt?

Not like they make something simliar, like the .380 Bodyguard.....

He addresses this in the video - to be a well rounded competitive shooter, he likes to shoot all types of guns.

In regards to the OP, I haven't heard about any issues. We just got one in the shop today.

I saw this post about a month ago and can now add to it. We recently got a Glock 42 for a rental gun at my Gun Shop and Range and had issues right off the bat of failure to fully eject spent cartridges and for the slide to lock all the way forward, we just cleaned the hell out of it and I bet in the 3 weeks or so we've had it customers have put around a 1000rds through it with no issues. I think the biggest issue with that gun for me is the trigger has a much longer pull than my old G19, however for a pocket 380, I can't complain too much

It's interesting in the JM video that he seems rather unfamiliar with Glocks. He wasn't aware that Glock strikers float and thought that might be the cause of a couple of misfeeds. I found that his assessment of the gun to be unbiased and attributed shooting left to be how he initially managed the trigger. This is something that I've found shooting the 42 myself and I've shot thousands of rounds through the 42. It's a much shorter trigger reach in combination to a heavy trigger and takes some getting used to. Also shooting the gun right hand only I have to be conscious of interfering with the slide stop lever. Additionally, getting real agressive on the gun with two hands can cause interrupting the slide while firing, inducing feeding and ejecting issues. Just takes some time to come to grips with how you shoot that gun. After that, it's a lot of fun to shoot and the accuracy is better than I am.

Everything Glock has ever made outside of 9 & 10mm, and sometimes the 9 & 10mm has been somewhat shitty.

It doesn't take an analytical scientist to figure that out.

LOL! Yeah.....

No irony here! He wears that shirt in every other video that he makes.
