This has not been the experience of the g42 owners I know... Myself included. Several of our Albuquerque PF members have them and so far so good.
Look Jody, I'm with you about the whole have a 9 vs 380 for the same size thing... But the fact is it's shaping up to be a good gun... Especially using it in transitioning weaker & new shooters from a .22 to a 9/40/45.
And regardless of how much we all bitch and protest that they didn't make it a single stack 9, they're going to sell a bajillion of them.
