Glock Teasing New SMALLER G42 Pistol

Glock are allegedly running the above advertisement teasing a new smaller pistol called the G42. This raises two questions. Firstly, what is this new pistol? Secondly, were are the G40 and G41 (Glock model numbers are sequential)?

If I had to make an educated guess, I would say the G42 will either be a slim-framed single stack 9mm pistol or a US-manufactured .380 ACP pistol. Glock’s line of .380 ACP pistols can only be sold to law enforcement in the USA because of the BATFE’s crazy import restrictions. The fact that there might be three new pistols (G40, G41, G42) may indicate a line of pistols, which makes me think a line of .380 ACP pistols may be on their way.

What do you think?

Sounds like SHOT 2014 is going to be interesting. Does anyone here have solid info on it? Not looking for "I wish they made a..."

For the love of God, is it finally a single stack 9mm? I did hear a rumble that they are launching a single stack line of handguns, including a 5" single stack .45 designed for competition.

A single-stack version of the G19 would be nice. So would a Gen4 G17 that works.

Either one would be a huge step forward at this point.

A G17 Gen4 that works? Come on now, we both know that the Gen 4 17 functions just fine.

.380? Don't care. Single stack 9mm? I'll take it.

I believe the model 24 is the .380.

.380, if Glock does this they really have gone full retard (which is precisely why I think it will be .380). They need to concentrate on getting the guns they have right now to work, and not brining out new stuff.
