Just got in some more range time with the Glock 42. This slimline .380 pistol continues to impress! It is extremely soft shooting, especially when compared to some of the other subcompact 380 pistols on the market. And if you want a pistol that is very concealable, the G42 is one you need to check out!
The following Birchwood Casey targets give you a look at my last 50 rounds through the G42. The ammo used was Sig Sauer 380 Auto Elite Performance FMJ.
As you can see from both targets, I tend to shoot to the left with the Glock 42. The target on the right was my attempt to adjust my trigger finger placement to prevent me from pushing to the left. As you can see, that didn’t work out very well for me. Clearly, more practice is needed!
