My wife and I finally got to shoot her G42 this weekend.
Her quote : "I LOVE THIS GUN!!"
If this gun were a man, I would probably be seeing a divorce in my future. She was shooting at 10 yard and able to basically shoot the eyeballs out of the target. Moving back to 15 yards, she was keeping them in around a fist sized group. At 25 yards she was grouping them in the upper thoracic area easily. She is really wanting some Trijicon sights and holsters for it now. Any leads on a good IWB holster for a petite woman? Think Jodie Foster from Silence of the Lambs.
I am not quite as big of a fan. I had trouble shooting it. I don't have extra big hands but I have "long palms". I could not be consistent with it. It seemed to want to wiggle shot to shot with me. I didn't feel "locked in" like I normally do. I seemed to be touching the trigger with a different part of my index finger with every shot. I couldn't pull the trigger with the tip of my index finger. It was just too hard to get my finger to twist that way. I seemed to get my most consistent results I felt like I was pulling the trigger with my index finger knuckle.
She was MUCH more accurate with it than I was. Which I am sure delighted her even more.
It had almost no recoil, the report was mild (using WWB), the sights sucked. We only fired around 100 rounds. I did enjoy shooting it more than my 642 with a Pacmayr Compac grip on it. I just was not as consistent with it as I am with a G19/G26. But I was able to get more shots on target faster with the G42 than the 642.
I am not sure that I will be getting one for my own use yet. I want to do a few more sessions with it. Now if Glock really is going to be releasing a 9mm model that has a slightly longer trigger reach that would be a delight for me. I will probably wait until after SHOT and see what happens.
