Reliability at the Magazine Level

Magazines are a mission-critical component of any defensive pistol. A well-built magazine preserves feeding consistency, resists damage from drops, and maintains spring tension over thousands of cycles — all factors that matter when you need the firearm to work without hesitation.

GLOCK G42 MAGAZINE is the standard factory magazine designed specifically for the compact G42 pistol. Built with a double-stacked construction, it packs 6 rounds of .380 ACP into a compact package. The design pairs an inner steel frame with an outer polymer shell to prevent deformation even when dropped from height or exposed to extreme environments, delivering durable performance at a street-friendly price of $20.69.

Design Details That Matter

Inner Steel Frame + Outer Polymer Shell

The combination of an inner steel frame and an outer polymer shell reduces the risk of feed-lip deformation and keeps body integrity under impact. For everyday carry and defensive use, that structural resilience minimizes malfunctions caused by bent feed lips or compressed body walls.

Double-Stacked Construction

Although compact, the double-stacked profile allows efficient column spacing and reliable feeding of .380 ACP rounds into the G42 slide. For users prioritizing compactness without sacrificing function, this magazine balances slim carry with dependable cycle performance.

Caliber and Capacity

.380 ACP remains a common choice for subcompact defensive pistols due to its manageable recoil and proven ballistics in short-barrel platforms. The GLOCK G42 MAGAZINE’s 6-round capacity is typical for the G42 platform and supports quick reload strategies while keeping the pistol discreet in everyday carry setups.

Field Use and Practical Tips

Keep two or three magazines in your rotation: one in the pistol, one spare at-the-ready, and one dedicated to dry-fire and training. Rotate them periodically to avoid spring set and inspect the polymer shell and feed lips for chips or cracking after heavy use. At $20.69 each, acquiring extras is a cost-effective way to improve reliability and readiness.
