This was a very smart move by Glock. The "pocket nine" market is already saturated, so why bother. This is uniquely different in the .380 market in that it will be pocketable, easier to shoot well, with a real grip and a trigger that isn't long and 12 lbs. They are going to own the .380 market with the 42, especially with new and women shooters. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be one of their best sellers yet.
I see the opposite. The pocket nine market is full of unreliable guns. No one seems to be able to make a pocket nine work right. I have zero interest in a Glock .380, small or not. There are just too many perfectly good pocket .380's already out there, and glock is really bringing nothing new to the .380 table.
But a glock-reliable single stack pocket nine...I would be all over that.
