Jack,  Congrats on the new 42.

I've got one on order.  I was going to get another 21(full size .45), but when I found out the 42 was coming out, decided that since the 21 is already too big to conceal, might as well get the longer barrel and sight radius.
My question is...does it shoot better than the 21?


‘Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive...those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.‘

The 42 is a 380 not a 45. The model 41 is 45 acp.

Jack

Would you be able to do a side by side comparison with the Rohrbaugh?

Nice looking piece.
It's a little larger than I thought it would be.

Using the same platform for a 9mm and they would have a real winner.

Glockmeister said they won't even get them until the end of the month, I am curious how the supply will be? The glock 30s has been back ordered for awhile .

A lot of people can not shoot a small 9mm accurately.
