The Great Glock 380 Shootout (G28, G42, and G25)!

With all three Glock 380 pistols available to me, it was only natural to do a comparison between the G28, G42, and G25.
Join me at the range with each of these pistols and my final thoughts about them.

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.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

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.

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.

[@jmcclellan6031]

My G42 is my EDC but I’m definitely picking up a G25

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

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.

[@douglasphillips24]

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.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

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.

[@richardehringer1426]

Very good video. Stay safe out there

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@Jaimegarcia-pc3uy]

Thx ❤

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate both.

[@Jaimegarcia-pc3uy]

My choice is the G25. Treated in G5 mos ❤

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

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.

[@Durandarte3004]

I own a g 25 its a very good pistol

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Of the .380 pistols, the G25 is my favorite. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@kevinmccarey5015]

Well said

[@franklinmarks7845]

Or the G29

[@mancavestudios-n6e]

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?

[@gregorholmes1837]

What in the happy horse sheet is this channel? Made it 20 secends..

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

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.

[@Bill-jv5eg]

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

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

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.
