Glock unveils for the first time in Asia Glock 42 .380 caliber the smallest pistol of its range 1604.

The game-changing GLOCK 42, chambered in .380 AUTO, measures less than 24mm wide and 155mm long overall, making it ideally suited for everyday concealed carry, whether in a pocket, under a jacket, behind the back or on an ankle. Unlike comparably "pocket-sized pistols, however, the GLOCK 42 shoots, well, like a GLOCK—that is to say, smoothly, reliably and exceedingly accurately. Dual recoil springs, combined with the pistol's shock-reducing polymer frame, keep recoil to a minimum, quickening target re-acquisition and improving shooter comfort.

The GLOCK 42's white-outline fitted sights, adjustable for windage, offer users an easy-to-see sight picture, while 360-degree grip texturing provides for a comfortable yet secure grip. Many micro pistols are a pain to shoot; the GLOCK 42 is a joy.

Other GLOCK-standard features to be found on the GLOCK 42 are GLOCK's proprietary corrosion-resistant, black, surface-hardened finish—part and parcel of the GLOCK's legendary durability—and SAFE ACTION® fire control system, which prevents the pistol from firing unintentionally while allowing for near-instantaneous employability—aspects essential to a pocket pistol, but only to be found on a GLOCK.
