Now I want a G42... but why?

I always get a chuckle with this attitude; stand in front of it, Superman, if you think it ain't gonna work on you.  :screwy:

I get even more of a chuckle out of that attitude. I'm not going to stand in front of a kid throwing rocks either, that doesn't make a rock a good self defense choice. .380 cannot be reliably counted on to achieve 12 inches of penetration in tissue. Period.

.380 in a 9mm package is just dumb.

Now don't get me wrong , I like .380 but right now I would rather have the Glock 25 and Glock 28 instead of the Glock 42 . The 25 and 28 are tried and tested and work reliably  :cool:

Rock worked for David. ;)

 

I'll see your rock, and raise you a .380. ;)

Most of my vitals are way less than that under my skin. (I am rather skinny though ;-) ) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Perhaps we need to get back on topic, re the G 42, instead of the qualities of the round it fires...

I carry either a G19, SP101, or G30... so carrying this thing wasn't exactly in my original post. Sure, it's small and cute and would be sweet as Hell to carry, but I doubt that is what I'd do unless I was wearing my shorty-short and tank top. (Not really something you'd want to see)

I think I've been drinking the Glock Kool-Aid and just gotta have this thing. It's almost May now and they still are not in stock on the shelves, so that tell me that I'm not the only one. As far as caliber, the .380 still beats the rocks. I just want to shoot it, and enjoy it. Just like all off those .38spls that I have.
