  As an LCP and Glock owner I'll go ahead and speculate that this pistol has nothing over an LCP.   Nothing except usable sites, a superior trigger, last round hold-open, and better recoil management.  It probably isn't inherently more accurate than an LCP but I bet if you handed it to someone who owns a Glock and asked them to shoot quickly they would have more fun and shoot a smaller group than with an LCP.  Again, I haven't even held one of these and I'm not even going so far as to say I plan to get rid of my LCP.  The LCP serves me for times when I am too lazy or my dress wouldn't allow me to carry anything else.  I would say however that I do see a market for this pistol and I would probably prefer it to the LCP if I carried a .380 as an EDC...Then again, if I were willing to go just a little bigger than the LCP but not as big as a G26/G27/G33, I'd probably just carry an LCR.  Then again my LCR is primarily fired by my wife.  I don't practice with it often and when I do I occasionally "short-stroke" it.  I would arguably be better off with a pistol with a more familiar trigger.  I'm rambling now but my point is that while this pistol isn't on my shopping list, I do see a market for the G42.  I would possibly consider one for a recoil sensitive shooter or anyone who wants a small pistol and believes the ability to easily put rounds on target is more important than ballistics.      

Congratulations on the handsome pup!!!!

Are we to assume the Glock 40 is a long slide Glock 20?

That much exposed trigger on a pocket gun would scare me. My Braids leather holster (purchased from Ebay) for my LCP fits well and covers the trigger completely. For my Glock 27 I use a kydex model form "aholster" which also totally covers the trigger guard.

  I looked into getting a 36 at one time.  Mainly for the slimness factor.  When I looked into them I did find some problems reported online.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that most of the problems were magazine related.  I think it took Glock a while to get the single stack magazines dialed in.  Based on when I read, I wouldn't be too concerned about a 36 as long as you aren't using early production magazines... 

Just amazing...

I took part one back in the summer. Really enjoyed it. I would have definitely attended this but I had a family obligation...

I'm sure the 10mm version is the Glock 40 and the .45 ACP is the 41. (Just like the 20 and 21). Only fitting that the 40 would be a 10mm, since the 22 is a .40.

If you don't care for the Glock, you shouldn't be scared away by the idea that a small revolver will have too much recoil.  My wife has no problem shooting factory loads in .38 special through a short barrel revolver.  We started with the "cowboy" loads from Georgia Arms which are even better.  She also doesn't care for my Glocks at all.  You have to remember that recoil is subjective and in a lot of ways more mental than physical.  You're really learning to overcome the natural instinct to jump away from something that has a loud bang, flash and a jump in your hand.  To some degree, I think the actual amount of force generated is secondary to how comfortable you are with the firearm of your choice... For example, my wife is comfortable with her revolver...how it operates and how it feels in her hand.  So for her, she it has less recoil than any of my Glocks.  She can handle my Glock 17; although she says she just doesn't like it.  She has put exactly one round through my Glock 27 (this is the smallest .40), before laying it on the shooting bench and declaring it a "cannon" that she would never shoot again.  I am convinced that the action of a semi-automatic reduces felt recoil, but my wife is more comfortable with a revolver so I'm not going to push this issue... We have two small kids at home and she doesn't get to go to the range often so I've decided not to waste any additional time trying to get her to shoot semi-autos.  For now, I'm just going to try and locate some more "cheap" .38 (which seems to be getting more difficult), and just remind her again that I'm willing to watch the kids when she's ready to take a class...    

I have done nearly all the trails suggested and I agree with the posters above who said Frozen Head is your best bet.

I've used some of their.40 and bought 200 rounds or so of the .38 for my wife. No problems with either.

Sounds fair to me.  That Sig is probably a fine pistol but it sounds like the G27 might me a better option for you.  I would think your training with the 23 will translate directly to the 27...

  That thing looks awesome! 

Always an opinionated guy, here's his weigh-in on Zimmerman:    http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/07/19/charles-barkley-said-agrees-with-george-zimmerman-verdict/

There are a number of factors in determining the circumstances in which a lawsuit could "pierce the corporate veil", or in which you are personally liable for the actions of your LLC.  I don't like to post legal advice on a public forum, but I'll say that in most cases David's attorney is correct.  I know quite a few solo practice attorneys who operate as sole proprietors if that tells you anything.  If you have a firm with other lawyers, or a business with other partners and want to shield yourself from liability for their actions, you're dealing with a different scenario altogether.  

Just don't get all crazy on us and open carry that AR.  

I remember a case way back when I was in College (graduated in 2000), of an officer who shot a family's English Bulldog right in front their two small kids.  I do recall media attention by the Nashville news (as I was in M'Boro then) and I think it happened somewhere between Knoxville and Nashville. 

I read an article recently in either Road & Track or Car & Driver, (I subscribe to both, so I can't remember which) indicating that while most cars (and especially many hybrids) fall well below the EPA fuel economy estimates, diesels are very unusual in that they often can achieve better fuel economy that the EPA tests indicate.  I have a few family members with German diesels who have all reported really good numbers.  

While I don't have any idea how often this happens I once spoke to an officer I know who was upset because he arrived at a home to serve a warrant when the homeowner immediately sent a pit bull out the front door who then charged at the officers.  I believe this guy had genuine disappointment that he was forced to either shoot a dog or take his chances getting his leg gnawed on by a pit.  I am a dog person, and there is no doubt in my mind that some officers aren't using the restraint they should.  However, I wonder how many situations there are like this one, where someone tries to use their dog as a distraction so they can run out the back door etc...  

I took tactical handgun I through their affiliate training company a few weeks ago. I believe the instructor, Eric, was one of the new owners. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. Think teacher mentality, not gun store commando. I had a blast.

sorry double post.

I have both grips. I prefer the large sticky one but I usually have big pockets and I do see how the boot grip is more concealable. I would say it's tolerable with the boot grip, but fun with the big sticky. It's really my Wife's revolver anyway. I like it enough that I might be tempted to buy a second one when she ever gets around to taking the HCP class.

    Haven't I also seen you post that you re-load?  If I did, I'd probably own a 10mm too.  Being a guy that buys ammo at Academy or Wal-Mart, I just can't see going the 10mm route right now.  I've got too many work/family/other activity obligations that keep me from spending additional time on this hobby.  As it is, I'll just stick with a 9mm or my short and weak 10.  

  About four years ago, my wife and I were doing a very casual hike at Norris watershed with my then infant son on my back and our Cocker Spaniel on a leash.  What appeared to be a normal cat, came out of the woods hissing at the dog.  Although I yelled and acted aggressively, the cat didn't show any fear of me and clawed at my pants when I used my leg to try to separate it from our dog.  I have never in my life seen a cat act so aggressively and I was very glad to be wearing hiking boots that day instead of trail runners etc... I can't imagine using a firearm in a situation where a swift kick would do but I would have definitely used pepper spray if we had it that day...  

  .44 would make a lot more sense for someone who has or is willing to spend some time practicing with big bore revolvers.   10mm probably makes more sense for all the people like me who have limited time and money to spend at the range but do practice with a Glock or similar service caliber, striker-fired, semi-automatic handgun.  I don't think the value of muscle memory can be overstated.  When hiking and/or campling in the Smokies, we carry "Guard Alaska" bear spray and a Glock 22 as a backup.  My wife usually keeps the bear spray close by, and although bear attacks are extremely rare, I think it would be quite useful in a more likely event such as a wild dog/cat or a drunk at a campground etc...   If I ever buy a handgun specifically for protection in the woods it will be a Glock 20.
