Glock G42 380 ACP: Did Glock Make a Mistake?
The Glock G42, chambered in .380 ACP, was initially met with disappointment but became a top seller by targeting new and female shooters seeking a lightweight, low-recoil concealed carry option. Its slim design, enabled by the lower pressure of .380 ACP, offers superior concealability compared to single-stack 9mms. Despite .380's lower power, the G42 is praised for its shootability, often described as the softest-shooting .380 on the market.
