The CD Lite has a little less recoil. The 9mm cartridges that use the 65 grain ARX bullet have significantly less recoil in my opinion. The Norma NXD is an example:I need to splurge on some Hornady Critical Defense Lite 9mm with pink tipped 100gr bullet to see if it is enough milder to matter in a pocket pistol.
The 25 is a strange critter, and I'm only repeating what I've read on the Glock board. The 25 is 26 sized, so it's not quite sure what its purpose, and it is considered 'blowback', although it is reputed to have mild recoil. Guys there seem to like them, but it's not clear what parts might interchange. Interesting that G19 mags fit.Comparing the G25 to a G19, everything is the same except the barrel. Looks like the same RSA. The 380 barrel is thick.
Ouch, damn, that is both tiny and light. Has it always run reliably?The recoil is pretty stout.

I have both the g25 and the g28.The 25 is a strange critter, and I'm only repeating what I've read on the Glock board.

Guys there seem to like them, but it's not clear what parts might interchange. Interesting that G19 mags fit.
The G42 is a conventional, Browning model dropping barrel setup, and it (again repeating what I've read) is claimed to handle hot loaded .380s. Mine is really mellow with standard loads.
Not sure I'd be anxious to shoot +P in a BG2.0; with ordinary .380s, it's not unpleasant to shoot. A thirty round course of fire is not a problem, including a one handed stage. But it likely would be an ugly handful with 1100'sec loads. As is often the case, assuming the gun will reliably run the hot stuff, it will surely shorten the service life, and slow follow up shots.

From your lips to God's ears.I wouldn't have a problem shooting +p in my Glock 42.
My LCP MAX and Bodyguard 2.0 with +p? No thanks......
Thanks, got my numbers mixed. Your post explains, and reiterates, what has been said at Glock Talk, thank you.The g25 is the 19 sized one and the g28 is the 26 sized one. I compared a 19 and a 25.
They were made in the usa. They were a lipsey special run. I was doing a transfer in mt FFL when i saw the g28. He just got them in. I think they are still around. I would get a 25 if you can. Its like shooting a 22lr.Thanks, got my numbers mixed. Your post explains, and reiterates, what has been said at Glock Talk, thank you.
I'm sure avoiding 'military' calibers was part of the mission for these guns' creation.
Had a G26, actually took it to an Ayoob class. The fat, little turd shot far better than it had any right. But it was every bit as thick as its 17/19 cousins, and therefore nearly as hard to hide. The P365 made the G26 redundant in Moonland.
It appears that the sale of the 25 & 28 are sold here, at least, partially, to satisfy the Glock faithful.
Are your pistols domestically made, or imports? Are they now considered regular catalog items?
Best,

Doesn't meet a personal need (not that 'need' has much to do with gun purchases....), but they do look interesting. I'd like to examine one personally.I might buy a second one.
Totally agree. For the price. Glock reliability for cheap. Cheaper than the new ruger clone.Doesn't meet a personal need (not that 'need' has much to do with gun purchases....), but they do look interesting. I'd like to examine one personally.

Whose primers are those? How hard is the battery cup, compared to, say Federal or CCI? Price @ k? Tell me a little more; been able to get Feds, but they're pricey.SyA SPPs.

I really like 3.2gr of #231 under the 95gr Lee RFN. 2.8 gives me occasional short strokes. 3.5 is max, but I can feel the polymer frame flexing. So, 3.2 is it for me. Duplicates European factory loads.You guys "flung a craving" on me for some more .380 action. I loaded more .380 last night with the Lee 95gr. FN (old Ranch Dog design) over 2.8gr. WIN231 Col. .940 with the SyA SPPs. We'll see how they do.
Since it was some time ago, presume the Bodyguard 1.0. How do you like it? IMHO, safest pocket gun ever. The true DAO makes sure you actually want the gun to go off. TruGlo makes some great sights for it.I had only the Bodyguard .380.
Need to root through my chrono data. Have to believe I clocked some Euro loads at some time.European factory loads.
They do have them, at good prices, but in very large lots (5k @ $185). Not sure I want that many without test hopping some, but that is a deal.Astra has them on sale right now cheaper than when I bought them!
Reminds me of a detonics pocket 9, without the safety of course.The recoil is pretty stout.
