380 Glock - In the right hands, the Glock 42 pistol can conceivably be just as deadly as its higher-caliber brethren. The smallest Glock, also perfect for those for whom concealability is an important purchasing factor. While not for everyone, the combination of Glock's pistol platform and John Browning's small automatic caliber is still an attractive option for users who want a combination of dexterity and discretion.
Combining the successful Glock pistol design with a caliber created by gunsmith John Moses Browning, the Glock 42 is definitely worth a look.

The pistol combines the Austrian firearms manufacturer's gun handling system with the .380 ACP pistol cartridge. The result is a pistol for concealed carry who wants a low recoil pistol and the smallest pistol in the Glock lineup.

Austrian gun manufacturer Glock takes a tree-like approach to its pistol lineup, with the original Glock 17 9mm pistol barreling through all major calibers. The company typically introduces a full-size Glock in a new caliber, then quickly follows it up with compact, small, and competition-sized pistols to complete the caliber lineup.
Unlike other branches, such as the .45 ACP and .40 Smith & Wesson, the .380 ACP branch of the Glock family is made up of the smallest single pistol: the Glock 42. The smallest and most powerful of all certified calibers. according to the company, it makes the .380 ACP wheel just right for modern subcompact designs.
The .380 ACP bullet was invented in 1908 by inventor John Moses Browning. The early 1900s were perhaps Browning's most prolific and influential period, producing firearms such as the M1911 pistol, the .50 caliber M2 machine gun, and the .380 ACP and .45 ACP calibers. Although the cartridge was briefly successful in European armies before World War II, after the war the standardization of the larger and more powerful 9mm Parabellum pushed the smaller one out of military service and became a civilian caliber.
The .380 ACP is, with a few exceptions, a subsonic round. Most iterations range from 75 to 95 grains. The Federal .380 ACP full metal jacket round weighs 95 grains, achieves 203 foot pounds at the muzzle and travels at 980 ft/s. By comparison, the Federal 9-millimeter (.350) FMJ round is roughly the same size, packs over sixty percent more energy at 364 foot-pounds, and travels at 1,150 feet per second.

The advantage of the .380 ACP is not power or speed, but lighter recoil. A .380 pistol, all things being equal, is easier to aim than a 9mm. Hence the trade-off between the two calibers: accuracy versus damage. Accuracy, putting rounds there, deals damage, but damage doesn't give you accuracy.
That's the argument for a pistol like the Glock 42. While not as powerful as its cousin, the subcompact 9mm Glock 26, the Glock 42 is easier to control. The .380 caliber, while underpowered, has more than a century of load capacity and can handle up to 294 ft.lbs with the Buffalo Bore +P round.
The Glock 42 is the smallest pistol in the Glock line with an overall length of 5.94 inches. The G.42 also has the shortest barrel of any pistol at just 3.25 inches. It is the only Glock to break the one-inch-wide barrier, being only 0.98 inches wide.
Glock's .380 range is also by far the company's lightest pistol. Weighing just 13.76 ounces unloaded, it rivals lightweight revolvers like the Ruger LCR. The next heavier pistol in the Glock lineup is the single-stack 9mm Glock 43, which weighs seventeen ounces unloaded. Even loaded with six 380 rounds, the Glock 42 is two ounces lighter than the Glock 43.

The Glock 42 is the smallest possible GLOCK with ultra-compact dimensions and easy-to-carry features. It includes Glock's Safe Action system, which ensures a consistent release from the first round to the last. Three independent automatic mechanical fuses are incorporated into the gun's fire control system. All three fuses release in sequence when the trigger is pulled and automatically reset when the trigger is released. The frame is made of polymer with hardened steel guides. It has an ideal grip angle and light weight. The sliding stop arm and the magazine lock are easy to operate with the shooting hand. The advanced surface treatment of the sled results in optimal hardness, significantly reduces wear and tear, and makes it corrosion resistant, even in salt water conditions. The matte surface minimizes light reflection. The barrel is mechanically locked and cold hammer forged. It has the same advanced surface treatment as the slide. The extractor serves as a loaded chamber indicator to comply with certain state laws, and its position can visually and physically indicate whether a cartridge is chambered in the pistol.
