Great carry pistol.

I've had this a week, only put 50 rounds through it so far, but it's great. Easy to handle, and very accurate to about 25 feet.

Great gun. Love this gun.

This is my first Glock. Wanted a 380 and could not pass this one up. Love it. No issues to eject or feed. I added a threaded barrel. And plus 2 extensions and extended mags.

Comfort@ble to shoot

I purchased about 6 months ago. About 400 rounds both monarch and Remington etc no failures. I did find one great upgrades Vickers racket assist. Just hook two fingers over slide and push forward,do not have to grip slide

Glock 42

Shots left consistent not me the Glock tight groups just to the left every time.

Beyond Disappointed

Coughed up the extra money to get the Glock and it jams second shot! Talk about disappointing after spending ~$500 bucks. I then call Glock after it jams and jams and jams, send it in, wait 2 weeks, gun returned after they ‘fixed’, go out and

Glock

This gun really does the job. Burglar broke into my house and I melted him in just 3 shots and his pulse was no where to be found. Great recommendation.

Perfect Weapon Ladies

Hubby got for my birthday in June. Never owned or shot a pistol. Thought it was time I learn for protection purposes.Took a training safety class then my conceal class. I absolutely love it. Very small, easy to grip, easy to handle, and easy to conceal. T

My Little Friend!

Bought this little .380 as a backup gun. It is so light and easy to carry I find myself taking this out when not on the job, quite a bit, especially in hot weather. As far as issues, I have not had any with it. A female police officer I know has had lots

Love this gun

Great for carry and as long as you don't limp wrist it, it works like a charm every time. I have put about 1000 rounds through it and no problems whatsoever.

Switch

Pick this pistol up for my wife. She likes it, but always really liked​ our old Bulgaria "Makarov" 9x18. Just because it has a little more power, so did some research found a drop in 9x18 Makarov for the Glock 42. And she loves it more. The 9x18

100 Percent Perfect !!!

Had for about a month, ran over 450 rounds of Remington, Winchester, and Blazer Brass range ammo and the G42 ate them all with zero issues. Ran the 99 grain HST Federal and the Hornady Critical Defense 90 grain with zero issues as well. Bought this for my

Great Little Gun

Have tried several 380's. The Glock 42 is the best feeling and shooting one I shot. I bought a used Glock 42 for my warm weather carry gun. Very easy to conceal! The recoil is light and allows you to stay on target. Three quick well placed shots are

Glock .380

Excellent handling on close quarters. No jams, low recoil, very reliable with no problems. The light weight is great for concealment and carry.

Great self defense gun

Picked one up last weekend at my local academy, was happy to see it had the latest magazine and mag catch revisions from Glock. Performed flawlessly on its first range outing, very easy to make quick follow up shots. Will be my summertime carry gun picked

great little all-in-one

This is currently my only handgun, but it makes an awesome little range gun in addition to a nice personal defense gun. I have put around 300 rounds through mine (both flat nosed, and hollow points) without any issues.

Unreliable

Lots of issues with failure to feed. Sent back to Glock already. This did no resolve the issue. Some ammunitions are worse than others, but the bottom line is that the gun is not reliable. I would never use for a conceal carry gun. I am not the only one w

Nasty!

Love this gun. A joy to carry as well as shoot. Since I got it my others are getting dusty.

Great Small Pistol

I recently purchased the Glock 42 and love it. It really easy to shoot with little recoil. I had purchased another small 380 a month or so earlier but this Glock is far better. It fits my hand the felt recoil is light and the sights are great. I shot 200

FTE Issue or not?

Bought Glock 42 a month ago. Been to range several times and thought I had an issue with the pistol failing to eject the spent round on the second shot. Tried different ammo, different magazines and still had same issue. Spoke to range official and other

Fantastic pistol!

Bought this pistol about a month ago. Great for conceal carry. So easy to shoot. Accurate. It's a GLOCK! Great firearm. I love it. Would recommend to anyone wanting something for conceal carry. Ladies, this one will be easy for you to handle, load, s

Great for CCW permit holders

Before i purchased my Glock 42 i had read numerous reports of feed and ejection problems. I contacted Glock and was told my a tech that upgrades had been done to the 42 and told me what to look for before i made my purchase. Firts look at the mags if ther

Awesome gun

Awesome gun. Shoots great very smooth. The perfect conceal carry gun. No kick my wife just loves it! Hands down the best conceal carry gun I've ever owned

Great Carry Choice!

This is the 2nd handgun I've purchased. First one is a Springfield XDM 4.5". This is the best carry gun for me because it's small and lightweight. Literally can fit around your waist or inside a holster. I have a inside the belt holster whi

Great Gun

I bought this for my wife vs a 9mm do to the recoil from a higher caliber ..She really enjoys shooting it and it is comfortable in her hand once I added a +1 pierce grip.

Small and reliable.

I bought this for my girlfriend, but I love to shoot it. It is small, but accurate. Buy self defense rounds and carry everyday.

Glock home run!

After carrying other 380's appendix this is by far the best one yet. Small, light weight and has the perfect grip for me. Definitely lives up to the Glock reputation of solid reliability.

Great gun- very accurate and easy to handle.

enjoyed testing out this gun the other day at a gun range.

Awesome

Great gun, fun, dependable, accurate, concealable, light weight. It's a glock no need to say anymore... Academy is the best deal out there.

My New EDC

The G42 is a great gun for EDC. I've carried .380, 9mm, .40, .45. Each one requires good shot placement, regardless of power. The .380 allows better shot placement because of its lighter load. I was lucky enough to receive the latest version of the G

Great concealed carry gun!

I bought this for my concealed carry weapon. My Glock 23 is just a bit much for IWB carry. The Glock 42 is perfect. It is almost as accurate as the .40 cal 23. I read a lot of reviews about how this gun is finicky about what ammo is used. I have shot abou

Sweet Shootin' Little Power House

This is my second .380 but my first Glock. Though my hands are XL, this gun is very comfortable to me.The recoil is surprisingly minimal. I am able to rapid fire accurately, a bit faster than with my 9mm SIG and much faster than with my .40 S&W M&

Glock42 a great conceal weapon

I purchased a Glock 42 about 2 months ago. I have only fired about 125 rounds thru it. It has a minimal recoil and is very accurate. I would recommend it for a man or woman for conceal carry. My wife also fired it and liked it. It was easy to break down t

Perfect .380

This is the perfect .380!!!!! It is very light and accurate. I took it straight to the range and shot about 150 rounds with no jams at all. It is very smooth to shoot and fits great in my hand better than my G26. You will absolutely love it!!!

Nice little gun

I finally got one of these guns, as they have been hard to find due to the popularity. Very happy with it. Unlike a lot of other .380s I've shot, this one actually feels good in the hand. I am waiting for magazine extensions to hit the market, as the

Great little Gun

My wife just got her CHL and was wanting a pistol a little smaller than my Glock 22. So we got her this Glock 42. We put 250 rounds down range the other night and we had on jam up when she first fired it. But it responded perfect for the rect of the night

Glock 42

Awesome little gun. almost no felt recoil and very accurate. I purchased one for myself it works so well for me  I purchased another for my wife.   

Light and Accurate

First I'm not Glock fan but i decided to buy this baby since i was looking for a 380 pistol and the Beretta Pico is in the freeze.I have this litle glock for about 2 month and i have shot 200 rounds. what can I tell is: 1. Very accuarte 2. No failure

It's ok

I'm going to have to adjust the rear sight. At 25' it shoots 3" to the left. I have the 42 and a basic P238. The P238 was $500.00, but I prefer it.

It does not like Cheap Ammo

Pros: Feels great in hand. Low recoil. Accurate. Very light. Cons: It's not a 9mm, it does not like certain ammo. Other info: Monarch Ammo would not feed. Winchester and Remington worked great. If you like to shoot a lot, this gun feels better than a

Another great addition to the Glock family

Bought this glock 42 for my wife's first carry gun she immediately took to it had no problems holding it loading it shooting it. Tried several different defense ammo as well as plain Jane FMJs with zero issues.Gun is very accurate and easy to control.

glock 42 not reliable

purchased the glock 42 on January 10 2016 for my wife to conceal carry. At the range could not complete 6 rounds with out FTE or FTF. Sent to factory after 100 rounds. Got the pistol back with no explanation of what they did. Called the factory they could

Shoots well, easy to conceal, and not expensive to shoot.

Nice small carry gun for my wife. Very light recoil and accurate. Cycle all brands of ammo without issue. The only warning is when you limp wrist or hold the gun low on the grip it jams (stove pipes). Happen often with smaller women and tentative shooters

Nice little gun. It's slim, light weight, and probably the most pleasant 380 I've ever shot.

Great product can never go wrong with a nice little glock

Buds was great as usual. The pistol shot fine. No problems whatsoever. 100 rounds of remmington. The pistol is small enough for pocket carry. I use a desantis holster. Recoil is light and much better than my bodyguard 380. I am happy with the purchase. Th

awesome pocket pistol from glock. my gunsmith replaced the glock sights to night sights and I added the talon grip tape which i highly recommend as upgrades to all glock pistols. [at least replace the sights] thank you buds for a great on-line shopping ex

I will never buy from anyone else. They are great and have a good variety of guns to choose from

Great pistol. Very accurate. Very small frame so if you have big hands I do not recommend this maybe a glock 26 instead

Love my G43 ! The trigger is a bit ruff if your at the range shooting a 100 + rds it can make your finger a bit tender but for carring I love it and my Kahr P9. The extended Glock mag is nice too. You can stand it up on it's own. Get you one ! Use Bud's l

I am a Steyr loyal fan myself. Purchased all 4 models plus 1 from Buds. However, since Steyr did not offer a pistol in .380 I decided to purchase a glock 42 instead . Took it out to the range. Very impressed. Buds was awesome as usual.

Very slim, great for a small caliber concealed handgun. The pinky extensions are a must if you don't want your pinkys to tuck in under the mag. For under 450 it's a great gun. .:80 is an easy caliber to shoot. U won't be keyhole bulls eyes at 50 yards, bu

Ordered this pistol in January of 2016, giving me a lot of time to review it. It shoots surprisingly well for the size. I have put hundreds of rounds through this pistol without a single issue. I also have the Remington RM380, (bought it for the price/reb

what can I say but glock is the best

I love this gun. This is my edc as its size is very concealable but is still big enough to get a good grip on. I own several .380s and a drawback to every .380 I've ever shot is a long heavy trigger. The Glock 42 doesn't have this problem. The trigger is

I just recently purchased the Glock 42 and have put only 100 rounds through it but it sure is a nice shooter. I've been looking for a second .380 for some time and have looked at a lot of different brands. I'm very pleased with this gun and I'm glad I cho

I bought this pistol for a very specific purpose, and only after watching quite a few totally ignorant YouTube "experts" bash the gun, and then testing its competition. Let me first say that Buds service was, as always, top notch. So why did I buy a Glock

fast shipping from buds gun as always. very happy with the gun.

what can i say other than ,,its a glock !

Feels great in the hand. My wife is able to shoot and load this thing with ease. Had some feeding and ejection issues the first time on the range. I kind of expected this, being a small caliber. After some extensive cleaning and polishing, we had zero iss

Great gun. I have had it for 4 years now. It is one of my "carries". It is a reliable little gun. Thanks buds!

Tiny 380 ,light and good for defensive concealed carry..easy to shoot but still packs a punch

I've order several firearms from Buds Gun Shop and the process has always been simple and the service top notch. This is my wife's gun and she loves the way it fits her hands and she's not terrified of the recoil. I know that there are many gun guru's tha

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend. I carry a G43 and she loved shooting it so as she already had a 380 the G42 was the logical choice. She loves it. Bud's had by far the best price..

Great little pistol. I have put 450 rounds down range both FMJ and JHP without any malfunctions. I know there may have been some reliability issues with earlier G42s but the newer pistols seem to run great. It seems that Glock corrected any issues. Do not

Awesome gun for its size. Solid and fits perfect in ones hand. Can't go wrong with a Glock..

Great little gun, nothing but the best from Glock, but this review is mainly for Buds service from ordering to delivery these guys and gals are the best third order from them no problems and FAST delivery. Thanks

Nice lightweight pistol that is so comfortable to carry. 100 grain +p hardcast and hollow point bullets shoot great without stinging your hand. Buds did a great job of getting this shipped in a timely fashion during Xmas rush. You can't beat Glocks.

Very nice weapon! Shoots very well, not a lot of kick. Very accurate. Brought for my wife, added a 1round Magazine extension for a better grip and control. Very easy to install, they have vidios on the Glock Store site. As always Bud's service was OUTSTAN

Of course I will start with thanking Buds for their FAST shipping to CA. G42 is an awesome pocket pistol . Smooth trigger and short mechanical trigger reset. Pearce mag extension helps greatly worth big hands!

Great little pocket pistol. Runs good. Don't expect great accuracy beyond 5 yards, due to its size. It's a Glock, so you know it's going to go bang when you pull the trigger. This is my second Glock and I trust them with my life.

This is my fourth purchase from Buds and I am very pleased with their service. I contacted customer service in regards to how many magazines ship with the handgun (2 just in case you were wondering) and they responded in hours. The shipping was as fast as

Purchased the G42 and know I received a quality firearm at a good price. Using Bud's layaway program made it easier for me to chip away at the cost and until the kids are out of my pocket book I will be using this program again. Very satisfied customer.

This is my 6th Glock and I love them all. Glock hands down makes great pistols!! If your looking for perfection in a small concealable package then the 42 is for you. This is also my 3rd gun from buds and I'll never buy from any place else!! Buds has grea

Perfect and great fit for female hands. Love it.

Fine gun and fun to shoot. Shot 3 different ammo brands No problems, will buy from Buds again.

First gun from Buds, and the whole process was smooth. Much better than waiting for a gun show. As far as the Glock 42 , one word SWEET!!! I got rid of my Sig p238 as soon as I shot this gun. Function over beauty every day of the week!

Although I have purchased several guns from Bud's this is my first Glock and I must say i like it alot. My wife and daughter also find it very easy to shoot and very accurate. The recoil is minimal and the sights are very good. I had an LCP once and I did

Glock 42, nice little package for conceal carry. .380 round is always controversial, but coupled with this little firearm, a very nice package. Bud's experience was very good. I paid a little more than I could have at my gun shop I found out later, but ov

After owning and shooting the Glock 42, I think its the best .380 ACP in its size category. It feels good in the hand (Pinky under the Mag) and the felt recoil is non existant. My nine year old son loves shooting it as does my wife. I would highly recomme

It's a Glock. Feels, looks and operates like the rest of the models. Upon receiving, I couldn't pull the slide back. Opened up, lots of rust along the slide grooves. Brushed, cleaned up, lubed and took the G42 out for a run. Performed flawlessly as expect

Purchased this for my wife. Great shooting accurate .380. She loves it. Not as small as some, but the best shooting, most accurate .380 I have shoot. Buds service is getting boring, always perfect.

Purchased 2 of these. Buds service was great as usual. The first thing that was noticed was the trigger pull. Though they (Glock) advertise a traditional Glock 5.5 lb trigger pull (on the glock website, literature, etc.) it is MUCH heavier. I'm estimating

This little glock is great. It is a nice fitting fine shooting 380. The service and price from Buds is great. I have an FFL and deal with Buds because of the service and price. This was my 3rd purchase from Buds. All three have been nothing short of excep

Glad i waited for this little gun, it is a great shooter. No problems feeding at all with the ammo i was shooting today PMC range rounds and Hornady Zombie Maxx. Sights were right on as well. Very easy to shoot. I got this for my wife and she loved it and

Happy I waited for this! I like the fit and feel of the G42 more than I thought I would. ! Bud's great to deal with as usual !

Great little gun. Recoil is... nonexistent!!!!! Kicks way less than my previous .380 (Bersa). Not small enough to call it a micro, but tiny anyways and easy to conceal (not to mention that it's super lightweight). Took it to the range after a good cleanin
