First thoughts:
I just picked this up from Doug's Shoot'n Sports. I haven't had a chance to shoot it. I figured my wife would probably kick me in a certain part of the lower region if I shot it without her, plus I want to clean and lube it before we go shoot it.
It's just a little thing. I put it next to the S&W Shield, and it's smaller in pretty much every dimension. The grip is much smaller than any other Glock and also the Shield. It's lighter as well. The Shield is 19 oz according to their site, and the 42 is 13.76 oz. I felt the weight difference right away. After I hefted them I checked to see exactly what the two weighed. So there you go.
It comes with two 6 round mags and all the other stuff that comes with a Glock, well except for the speed loader. I don't use theirs anyway. I like the Uplula mag loader much better.
It is a Gen 4, so it has the little bitty square bumps all over it. It's not nearly as aggressive as other gen 4 models I have felt though. The texture is not as deep or sharp.
The trigger is definitely harder to pull on the 42 than on the Shield. That may be the fact that it's brand new, and hasn't had any rounds through it. The Shield has been fired a fair amount. We may get a different trigger connector for it, but we will see. Unfortunately it's a smaller connector so we can't just snag one We will have to beak around to see if there is one made yet. It may not be that big of a deal once we get some ammo through it. If the tougher trigger hurts accuracy, we will change it, but since we haven't shot it we will wait.
I'll post some more when we get to shoot it, but so far it's a pretty cool little gadget. I've heard it doesn't have much recoil, so that should be good for people who are recoil sensitive.
Here are a couple pics of it next to other guns.
