People complain about Glocks being the same, but oddly love their 1911s. Another company comes out with an all new design that has an issue and people complain that they didn't need to reinvent the wheel.

I have yet to hear a 1911 lover complain that all glocks look the same, I normally hear them complain that all glocks are ugly but I could care less, it's a tool, doesn't have to look perty for me. whenever a new gun model has a recurring problem it is often the guys that own multiple versions of the old model that complain about reinventing the wheel and I saw this a lot with the gen 4 glock recalls where all of the gen 3 and lower guys were whining about reinventing the wheel and it made problems for glock. the fellow with the argument that professionals prefer familiarity has good point. generally I tend to gravitate towards AR15s because of my days in the navy and whenever a navy buddy is thinking about getting their first gun the first qustion that always comes up is "should I buy a M9?". however, law enforcement and military account for a tiny portion of the shooting population and many times they get a bulk discount. the majority of a gun makers profit should be geared towards the civilian majority not the police and military minority. I'm not really trying to troll here, I just think that glock needs to mix things up. variety is the spice of life.

Ya, there is one on gunbroker as well, but people have bid it into the stupidly high price range.

Looks like the first real review has been posted of the Glock 42:

OK, so if the Model 26 and 27 are called the Baby Glocks......
Can we call the Model 42 the Fetus Glock? Bart Noir

Why would I want a .380 that is the same size as say the shield or the PPS? I just sold my Sig 232 for that exact reason. I'll pass and wait for a single stack 9mm.

Bersa BP9CC is a nice single stack 9mm. Check them out.

But would the Shield and BP9CC have the same gentle recoil as the LC380 and Glock 42?

No it would be a 9mm.

Maybe ....
they (Glock) are being conservative and are bringing this gun out in .380 first and then will follow up in 9 mm and .40 versions. It looks engineered to take a heavier load.

The shield has VERY manageable recoil for its size! It's not that far off from a G26 and those are pretty tame

Watching the youtube - I was impressed that it was close to the 27 in size. So why not a 9mm? The grip would have to be a touch wider but that's nothing.
It's way bigger than an LCP. The Concealed Nation guy said that there wasn't a holster for it. Well, if you are talking about pocket holsters - there are options. Some of the DeSantis line should fit. If it's a belt gun - unless you carry IWB - what's the advantage over a 26? Recoil control for those who are recoil shy might be an plus? I'm still undecided. A 9mm would have been more exciting. Hey - maybe they could make a GAP!

I'm sorry I must be laughing it up with a dummie in the corner but why on earth would the slide and frame have to be wider to accommodate9mm when they are the same diameter?

If you recall, most 9mm/.40S&W platforms can be converted by switching the barrel and using heavier slide & springs on the same frame. Maybe that's what Glock will do.
