Glock should've come out with the 42X a long time ago. They need to lengthen the grip to accommodate 10 rounds and then lengthen the barrel at least another half inch. Single stack (slim line) is much easier to conceal than the G25 or G28.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. I agree. Perhaps, and with the G25 being comparable to the G26, and the G25 being comparable to the G19, they could have made the G42 comparable to the G48. That would have made more sense, at least to me.
They can do what sig did with the 365 and modify the 43x/48 to shoot 380. Shave some weight off the slide (incl. MOS cut), use a lower recoil spring weight, sub a 380 barrel and modify the mags. These changes are minor so they'd cost Glock little in R&D but would make great pistols that would appeal to recoil sensitive shooters (inexperienced shooters, women, older shooters, disabled)
@@gregorychu1380 Thanks for watching and for your comments. I agree, but I think that Glock's philosophy is somewhat complacent. While they concern themselves with sales, they are not taking into consideration why so many are also selling their Glock(s). At my LGS, there are more Glock pistols in the used gun cases than other brands. There may be several reasons; the economy, the fact that they bought a Glock on someone else's recommendation then found out that they did not like what they bought, etc. While the GEN5 is the latest and greatest, perhaps folks are just finding better pistols at a better price.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I think that you will like the G25. Right now, Gallery of Guns (Gun Genie) is showing them in stock, but your local LGS may be able to find one for you.
I have two Glock 42s and two Glock 25s both of them I carry four different purposes. But it's hard to beat a 42 for concealed carry but I like the 25s cuz it carries enough round to get the job done without a lot of rest for collateral damage especially with those rip rounds I carry. Idiots say they're gimmick and in a 380 they're not they're the safest round you can carry for the people that you're not trying to kill and they call the massive amount of damage to the people you are I've had to defend my life one time since they came out and three shots destroyed the guy at close range. Try to jack me in my car with a knife to my throat and normally I empty the clip to stop somebody and it didn't take that on this one.
I pocket carry the 42,43 and iwb the 48 in the summer months, now I think I need to add the 25 and 28 for my fall / spring carry but I am definitely staying with my 22/23 winter carry. Glock is the Honda Civic of the gun world easy to use easy to maintain runs forever.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I am right with you. I have been carrying the G48 either in a shoulder holster or cross-draw holster this summer. Moving into cooler weather, the G23 is next up to carry, although the Ruger SR1911 Commander Lightweight does get a turn every now and then - summer or cooler weather..
My favorite sizes are the 19 for cooler weather and the 26 for summer therefore when the 49 came out I had to have one . I've always wanted a 380 Glock but seeing the 26 sees majority of time in my holster, I'd have to get the 28 . Also FYI, Glock just released the 17L Gen 5 MOS and 17L Gen 1 classic.
Wait the 25 has lower felt recoil than the 42? I thought it was practically blowback, because of the loose lockup, and had more felt recoil because of that.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, the G25 had less felt recoil, for me at least. The G25 is essentially a G19 but just with different caliber components like the magazine and barrel. It has more grip area than the G42, being double stack. There is also more weight due to the G25's capacity, 15-rounds vs. 6-rounds. Also, being that the G25 is G19 size, there is more polymer to help distribute the recoil throughout the pistol. For me, the grip of the G25 and G42 is just not compatible with my hand parts - or vice-versa. As far as lock-up, all three pistols lock up tightly. The beveled front edge of the chamber area causes a bit faster unlock time, as there less material for the slide to clear as it moves to the rear, but really has little effect on felt recoil.
@ Very interesting, thanks. I always wondered why Glock didn’t just use the G42’s lockup style (which isn’t a full G19-style lockup either, but somewhere in the middle) for the 25. Did you ever try the PK380 or PD380 from Walther to compare? That’s full size with full lockup as far as I know.
@@muaythai193 No, I haven't had the opportunity to handle either the PK380 or PD380. I have heard that the PK380 could be discontinued, but have not seen anything new about it. I would like to evaluate both, but...
What does it appear to be? By the way, with one video in your playlist, and which is not your work, and 4-subscribers to your channel, I don't think that you have earned the right to criticize my channel.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I am not sure of why your inclusion of the G29, which is a 10mm - a far cry from the .380 ACP. Holster compatibility, perhaps?
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I agree, up to a point. Someone with smaller hands than I may not have the problem of pulling left. With somewhat long fingers, it is hard to pull straight back. With handguns that have a longer trigger reach, I usually have no problem. I was more comfortable with the grip of the G28 and G25 with their wider grip, but not totally. The G42 kept twisting in my hand without the slip-on grip sleeve, which did help, but not by much. There are disadvantages with long fingers with short reach handguns and that, in my opinion, leads to less control and poor shooting. But, at close distances, it may not matter that much.

Nahhh, keep the 42 as-is. It’s a fantastic “jogging” gun in a belly band while I’m jogging. I wouldn’t want anything larger nor heavier.
@@gregorychu1380agreed
My G42 is my EDC but I’m definitely picking up a G25

Thanks for being a part of this madness. I have a G17 and G34, but without MOS. I may have to try out the new 17L MOS, though.

I own a g 25 its a very good pistol
Of the .380 pistols, the G25 is my favorite. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Well said
My choice is the G25. Treated in G5 mos ❤
I like the G25 over all. It will be interesting to see if further development will be done, or even if future models will be available.
Thx ❤

These models are too small, hard not to pull when firing….
