    Help with Glock 42 brass to face issue

    Sorry, couldn't resist. Can't wait to spend this summer reading the one hundred plus pages we all know are coming!

    You presume there will be enough people here on p-f.com interested in buying one to get to 100 pages....

    Honestly, I wouldn't even be THAT put off by the anemic nature of .380 terminal ballistics, if it didn't cost an arm and a leg for me to invest in a caliber I don't already stock normally. .

    1) Glock is completely out of touch, and made something in .380 in a complete vacuum without considering competing products.

    2) The size of the Glock 42 is the smallest package Glock could make such a pistol that would function reliably for thousands of rounds of use, and be comfortable to shoot.

    3) They plan on bringing out a 9mm in more or less the same size, and are trying to save development costs.
    Here is another possibility -- Mr. Glock wanted to personally carry a small, light pistol, and he wasn't going to carry a Ruger?
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    He was probably upset he couldn't sell it as 9mm Kurz.

    Yeah, I'm generally not one of those people that refuse to have a manual safety on a pistol. Lots of talk on here in the Beretta threads about hating the FS models and loving the G's. I have an FS and the safety is a non-issue for me, it's a matter of weapon familiarity to me. The safety on my Shield is left in the off position, as in, I don't use it. I carry my Beretta with the safety off too. NOT a big deal.

    Dude, it is like that Kubler-Ross thing:

    someone faced with the reality of impending death or other extreme, awful fate (such as carrying a .380) experiences a series of emotional stages:

    Denial
    Anger
    Bargaining
    Depression
    Acceptance.

    Face it, you will be carrying a 42 by summer. By then TLG will be teaching a special Aim with small/hit with small class exclusively for the 42, and the only question is who gets a coin first with the 42. My money is on Origami, using a prototype Keeper holster, probably while wearing a wig, so he has deniability it is he carrying a .380. Wonder if there is a GFA in the works for it?

    My buddy's shield had the safety engage accidentally twice while carried IWB and he promptly sold it. This also killed any interest I had in the shield as I was planning on carrying it as you describe.

    No issues with my safety. But, I would probably do the same if my safety was defective. I'd send it in for repair before I sold it though.

    Overall, you just need to use what works for you. All iterations of Glock do not work for me.
