The Glock 42 is the smallest Glock to date, making it ideal for deep concealment and pocket carry. It’s chambered in .380ACP and while many seem to be surprised, we aren’t in the slightest. This model is just what Glock needs to compete with the ever-growing niche of pocket carry firearms. With the reliability that we have come to love, it’s a win-win in our book.

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.”

GLOCK’s smallest pistol uses the same Safe Action System found in all GLOCK pistols, is backed by more than 25 years of engineering excellence and comes with the GLOCK Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Glock 41 45ACP

The Glock 41 Gen4 is a practical-tactical .45 caliber pistol designed to maximize sight radius while improving weight distribution and balance.

The longer barrel and slide on the G41 Gen4 help to reduce muzzle flip and felt recoil, while the longer sight radius makes it more accurate for competition or duty use,” said GLOCK Vice President Josh Dorsey. “This pistol is ideally suited for tactical use on and off the range.”

The G41 Gen4 comes with all the standard features of the GLOCK Generation 4 pistol group, including the Modular Back Strap design, Gen4 rough textured frame surface and dual recoil spring assembly.
