Vondoun da Vinci I agree and could not of said it better
You guys don't get it. The internet "gun guy" isn't the target market for this gun. This is going to be a huge success with women, new shooters buying their first self defense pistol and people that would normally have trouble handling a snappier pocket nine easily. It's going to be a huge improvement over guns like the LCP, with it's slightly larger size making it easier to hold and control, real sights and a trigger that allows more accurate shooting than the long, heavy trigger normally found on those little .380s.
I'm not disrespecting Ruger....there are a bunch of used LCP and LC380's at the LGS. They kick like a mule. We tried one...we rejected it. It kicks as bad (worse) as a G26 which we bought and love. My Wife loves our G26 but wants an identical pistol thinner with less recoil.
And hopefully the durability of a GLOCK 26!I don't think you're understanding how this is going to work. The G42 is the same size and similar weight the LC380 - actually just a tad smaller and a tad lighter. They both use the same action type. Recoil on it is going to be about the same or a little worse compared to the LC380.
The G26 weighs in at twice as heavy as the G42. Its not going to have the same recoil.
Look for less recoil than the LCP but about the same as an LC380.
TNoutdoors9 and other ammo testers show that most 380 sd ammo doesn't get past 10 inches. Make it 11 and people will like it.
10, 13, whatever, I've seen tests where it only penetrated 9 inches. The point being that if glock could reliably handle a load that was specifically built to be hotter, that would be a unique selling point. The other manufacturers would have to play catch-up to prove theirs could handle the same ammo.One ammo tester found several that penetrate an average of 13"

I have read from several gun writers that there is a surge in "pocket pistol" sales across the country
This. Everyone else is doing it so why shouldn't they get their piece of the market?SALES !!! They make 300% on each and every one.
