I don't consider the G42 to be an actual pocket pistol. A Pico or an LCP or a P3AT? Yes. A G42? No. I have handled them. If they shoot as well as my other Glocks, then they're fine pistols. But they're significantly larger than the "micro 380's".

If you're not liking your Pico so much... I got one recently. I haven't shot it yet (too much rain), but as far as ergonomics and controls go, I prefer my LCP and P3AT. If you want a different "micro 380", I would try one of those. The sights aren't as good, but I like the triggers better and there is a little more space on the grip for your ring finger.
