Glock 42 Subcompact .380 ACP Pistol

The Glock 42: Pocket-Sized Reliability

The Glock 42 represents the pinnacle of subcompact pistol design—a purpose-built firearm for shooters who demand maximum concealability without sacrificing reliability. At just 5.94 inches in length and weighing a mere 13.76 ounces unloaded, this is the smallest pistol Glock has ever manufactured.

Design and Ergonomics

The G42 features an ideal grip angle and low-profile design that makes it exceptionally easy to carry in a pocket or appendix holster. The frame is constructed from reinforced polymer with hardened steel guides, while the slide undergoes advanced surface treatment for optimal hardness and corrosion resistance—even in saltwater environments. The matte finish minimizes light reflection, making it equally suitable for duty or discrete personal defense.

Mechanical Excellence

Safe Action System: Three independent mechanical safeties are built into the fire control system. All three disengage sequentially as you press the trigger and automatically reengage when released—providing consistent, predictable trigger control from the first round to the last.

Barrel and Rifling: The cold-hammer-forged barrel features right-hand hexagonal rifling with a 9.84-inch twist rate, engineered for reliable feeding and accuracy with .380 ACP ammunition.

Loaded Chamber Indicator: The extractor serves as both a visual and tactile indicator of chamber status, complying with state-mandated safety requirements.
