I think I would have to hold this new single stack design to see if I like it before I jump on the bandwagon. Right now the older S&W single stacks fill this role for me. We will see...

Not my words, taken from another forum: "The other model will be the Glock 42. SKU number is UI4250201, which indicates US-made, fixed sights and a low-capacity (10 or less) magazine. Wholesale price on this is only slightly above the Gen3 models, so street price should be $539.95. I think this is a new single stack .380 or 9mm of some sort.” |

So it looks like the 41 will be a 45acp, competition oriented with a 13 rd mag and the 42 will be a 380.

Can't get excited by a fat 380. I bought an LCP just for its small size as compared to my belt guns.
The 45 - meh - I have a 1911 for when I shoot 45 in competitions/.

Had my fill of Glocks with their single stack .45. And all the Glocks that I've shot at the range. They couldn't entice me to purchase another Glock - period.

That video is not from the horses mouth; however, it is rumored that it could very well be from the opposite end of said horse.

Next Glock
It will be a scaled down 36 firing 9 mm or .40. Nothing else makes sense. A
.380 makes no sense. Another .45 ACP would be redundant. After saying that, what makes sense is rarely what will really happen in this world. Pico |

New line of Glock pistols
Why wouldn't a .380 make sense? It's the only major caliber missing from Glock's American line, they already make .380 outside the U.S. but they can't be imported. They now have U.S. Production so it's no longer an import. It seems to me that the .380 is the only thing that DOES make sense.

.380
Hardest ammo to find and expensive. Maybe they will make them but pocket 9's are where it is in this class of gun.

As I understand it, the ONLY reason the .380s are unavailable in the US is due to import points. If it were produced in the US, I would assume this no longer applies.... so perhaps Glock will be able to sell the G28/G29 here in the US once they have production of those models set up.... no?

I agree with Brian, a micro glock 380 makes a lot of sense locally. 380 is not that hard to find (at least around here) but a fat bodied 28/29 is probably not going to do as well as say a 238 or mustang competitor.
I know I would pick one (micro glock 380) just on the principal of it.

I was really hoping they would cut the G26 and G27 in half and add a 3rd finger to the grip Kahr P9 or P40!

Well, it looks like we have more info on the Glock 42. It seems to be confirmed that the G42 is indeed a single stack 380. Here are pictures and specs.
Real? I don't know... seems to be though. I would REALLY like this exact gun made for a 9mm... Guess I'll be ordering the Shield.... http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...k-42-revealed/

I don't get why anyone would want a .380. 9mm can be made the same size and carry the same amount of rounds. 9mm is much cheaper, and more readily available. There's no advantage to .380 that I can see.

Oh, no - someone at the IDPA match had secret knowledge that it was the carbine.
How does it compare to the LCP level guns - if it is much bigger which it seems, then why?

It looks great, except for the caliber. Why build a 380 acp??????? Glock is a day late and a dollar short on this one! |

I agree with you guys. The size would be wonderful if it were a 9mm...
I have no interest at all in a .380. I think that trend is mostly over. They should have built some competition for the Shield. I can't say that I'm that bummed about it though. The Shield is a GREAT little gun.

I already have a full size tank HK45 that is better than any full-sized brick can hope to be, and a stable of 1911s that will outshoot any "target" Block.
...and Block 42? They could have just made a proper single stack 9mm. Glock is late to the party.

As a direct competitor to the Ruger LC380 & Walther PK380, it could work. But I do hope a 9mm & .40 version is close behind.
