I went to Glock Armorers school two weeks ago and they had a 42. I didn't get to fire it for obvious reasons but. it felt really nice. I think it would be worth buying. Perfect little pocket gun for CC.

Too big. A Kahr CW380 holds just as many rounds and is a fraction of the size and weight.

Did you dry fire the 42?
Glock's website is advertising it as 5.5 lbs.
I call BS......
I know it's not a target pistol, but that has to be a 8-10lb trigger on that thing.
It pulls easy at first, but then hits a wall.
The trigger safety never goes flush with the rest of the trigger, so it hurts your trigger finger after 20+ rounds.
It's way better than a Bodyguard or an LCP, but definitely not the same trigger pull as a full size.
No fear, I'm sure Ghost will be making a trigger bar soon.

I thought it was me, but then read several reviews and saw the same:

Throughout my shooting, I noticed that the trigger pull was unusually heavy for a Glock. Later I measured it at almost 10 lbs.


quote:

The specifications for this pistol indicate that it’s supposed to leave the factory with a 5.56-pound trigger. A digital trigger gauge showed that although the trigger is smooth, it cycles with 7 pounds, 3 ounces of trigger pull.

I have read some other info on this. One sort of disturbing thing is that the trigger pull on this fire arm is nearly 10 pounds! could be wrong about that but...After shooting that all day your one forearm would look like Popeye the cartoon character
