GLOCK, Inc. announced the launch of its newest pistol – the GLOCK 42. The G42 is the smallest GLOCK pistol ever introduced, making it ideal for pocket carry and other deep concealment carry methods.
Years of requests across all market groups for a super-concealable .380 GLOCK pistol prompted extensive development to bring the GLOCK customer the G42.
The slim design of the G42 fits the hands of any shooter; specifically it gives women or those with smaller hands a comfortable option like they’ve never seen before.
“This slimline subcompact pistol is able to withstand the rigors of any situation,” said GLOCK Vice President Josh Dorsey, commenting on the durability of GLOCK’s newest model. “It’s safe, simple and fast. The G42 is a GLOCK in every sense.”
