Platform and Safety

The G42 platform is noteworthy for transferring Glock’s Safe Action system to a compact .380 ACP package. The three-part passive safety design provides a consistent trigger feel while minimizing manual manipulation under stress. For those who prioritize mechanical simplicity and reliability, the Glock lineage remains a strong endorsement.

Caliber, Capacity, and Ballistics

The .380 ACP chambering offers manageable recoil and quick follow-up shots, which is especially valuable in a compact, lightweight pistol. While it carries less terminal energy than larger centerfire calibers, its reduced snappiness makes it accessible for a wider range of shooters and ideal for close-range defensive scenarios. The 6 round capacity in a compact frame keeps the profile slim for deep concealment without compromising function.

Barrel Length, Accuracy, and Use Cases

With a 3.25 inch barrel, this G42 balances concealability with practical sight radius and muzzle energy. That barrel length supports accurate point shooting and better consistency than ultra-short barrels. Typical use cases include everyday concealed carry, a lightweight backup pistol, or a reliable option for those who prefer minimal carry bulk.

Refurbished Value

At $439.99, the Glock G42 FACTORY REFURBISHED represents a cost-effective path to Glock performance. Factory-refurbished units often undergo inspection and reconditioning to meet strict standards, offering value for buyers who want Glock reliability on a tighter budget.
