Choosing a dependable, easy-to-carry pistol for everyday defense is about balancing size, control, and reliable performance. For shooters who want a compact handgun that still offers solid ergonomics and proven build quality, this model is worth a close look.

GLOCK 42 is a compact .380 ACP pistol that pairs a distinctive glitzy voodoo finish with Glock’s practical ergonomics and simple operation. Chambered in .380 ACP and featuring a 3.25-inch barrel, the GLOCK 42 maintains a lightweight, easily manageable profile while delivering the precision expected from a shorter barrel design. The 6-round capacity is deliberate for this size class, trading higher magazine count for slimmer concealability and reduced weight.

Design and Build

The GLOCK 42’s standout glitzy voodoo finish gives it visual flair without compromising function. The polymer frame retains Glock’s textured ergonomic grip geometry, helping shooters maintain control through recoil. The short 3.25-inch barrel supports accurate point-and-shoot performance at close defensive ranges, and overall build quality reflects Glock’s reputation for durability and consistent performance.

The 6-round magazine supports a minimalist carry philosophy favored by those prioritizing concealment.

Carry and Handling

At $539.99, the GLOCK 42 is positioned as an accessible option for concealed carry enthusiasts who want a trusted manufacturer and a distinctive finish.
