No laser grips for me. Just the sights. Not sure work is too fond of not being able to testify that I used the gun how I was trained.

I've been looking on the intewebz. I've got two unbuilt lowers set aside already but I like the 80% idea. I have a cheap Harbor Freight Mill/Drill That I think could do a good job on one of these. Prob'ly a good idea to get a few and the tooling while it's still legal.

I think I want one, the pistol is nice too

I'm not a glock fan boy but they make a heck of a pistol an this new one seems really nice with an extended tail, just wish it was in 9mm though.

Just saw that. Wish it was a 9mm, I've been wanting them to come out with a single stack for so long.

In other news I got an awesome little S&W model 36. Was made in 1969. My old man had it entirely refurbished for me for christmas. Its like a brand new gun

Nope. No way in hell am I buying a .380 that big when there are MANY 9mm pistols smaller or the same size.

$5 says my 1911 is thinner than that G42.

Most likely. To me the grip length and width is what matters. it's almost the same in both dimensions as by Beretta Nano 9mm. Sorry but I i bought a 380 it'd have to be LCP size or similar to make it worth the trade off

Agreed x100. I would be all over this if this was a 9mm. The thing that draws me to it is that it looks like I can get a high grip on it without getting slide bite as I always do with smaller pistols. the kahr is the closest that I shot without slicing my hand up, but that long trigger pull is not to my liking although I have shot nice little groups with it. I haven't used a shield yet. I like this as an option for us guys with chubby hands

I hope to get my paws on one at SHOT to see how it feels but something is telling me I won't even get close enough to even breath on it.

Would not surprise me if a 9mm and a thinner .45 than the 30 are in the works to compete with the XDs.
I think I would still prefer my Shield any day over this .380 but for my still somewhat skiddish with trigger and firepower wife, this Glock seems like a perfect fit.

Those are nice. I'd probably go with a PPK, they're classic and are pretty accurate (for a .380). My go-to gun is still a .45 though.

Love my wife's P238.
She has the HD model that is heavier.
What a great, accurate small gun.
Great night sights.

If I got another .380 I would get the Makarov or Baikal eastern block copies of the PPK half the price and the most accurate .380 I have ever fired.
