Although the little Glock is good looking in its own way - my personal opinion is the Sig P232 is a much more better looker . . .

But the Glock with the black slide - gray frame - and black talon grips does have a certain appeal . . .

The two are just about the same footprint . . .

Real close size wise . . .

That black / gray / black thing going on with the little Glock is kinda cute . . .

If you are wondering HOW I ended up with a little bitty Glock 42 - Inner10 had just opened and they only had a few pistols for rent - I loaned them my Glock 20 - good looker with a nickel boron slide and you gotta love a 10mm - right? - so I go up there to shoot one day and the G20 hollers at me - tells me he has joined Big Brothers / Big Sisters - and I'm like that's cool that you are engaging in a civic minded endeavor such as that and would you like a petition for lodge? - you never know - right? - Well . . . I go back a week or so later and he's ( the G20 ) all excited - he has a little brother - the G42 - and the rest is as they say - history - You know - I never did get that lodge petition back from him . . .

They are similar sized but they just about couldn't be farther apart - DA / SA hammer fired - all metal - direct blow back operated for the Sig P232 // striker fired - polymer frame - locked breach / tilting barrel for the Glock 42 - and the difference in recoil impulse is significant - the Glock is smoother and quicker to put back on target - even though it weighs considerably less - 18 1/2 oz empty weight for the Sig P232 vs 12 1/2 oz empty weight for the Glock 42 - the Glock is a LOT easier to carry . . .

Out of these two - I have to go with the Glock . . .

I would like to say this much as well - I am not a Glock fanboy - they are good tools - are there better tools out there?? - I carry a full size 1911 Government model in God's chosen caliber - .45ACP - as handed down to St. Browning - With all of that right out in front . . .

IF your skill set can safely embrace a striker fired pistol AND you are comfortable with .380ACP - the Glock 42 is the one to go with - out of any of these I've shown you as well as anything out there on the market currently - the Glock 42 wins the Giant Stuffed Panda - Fuck - I can't believe I just recommended a Glock to somebody - for a striker fired pistol in .380ACP - they can't be beat by anything currently on the market - but that is just my opinion - 'scuse me while I go somewhere and hang my head in shame - LOL!

Have Fun! - Run the Gun! - and remember - Fish Heads are Cheap!!
