I've had my Glock 42 for almost two months.
So far I've function tested it with a variety of RN FMJ loads to include Federal white box, Fiocchi, American Eagle, Mag Tech, Armscor & CCI Blazer brass was well as commercial reloads from Wisconsin Cartridge.
I also function tested it with some Winchester Silvertips & Federal Hydroshocks that are nearly 25 years old, as well as Hornady Critical Defense which is what my PD mandates for off duty carry.
The only malfunctions I had were with new magazines that sometimes had a failure to feed all the way on the second round fired from the magazine. Once the mags broke in a little bit the problem went away.
I anticipate using the G42 as a backup at work & as a concealment gun in really hot weather. I bought a Galco ankle glove ankle holster and have used it quite a bit & found it to be quite comfortable. I've ordered a Mika holster to go on the straps of my body armor but it isn't here yet.
The G42 is very pleasant to shoot & has decent sights. I'm going to order night sights for it shortly. I have put Pearce grip extender floorplates on all my magazines. I have big hands & use the Pearce floorplates on all my little guns to give me a little more to grab onto.
My other .380s are a Sig 230 & a Walther PPK. Until recently my PD issued Sigs and the P230 was my backup gun.
