Frequently Asked Questions
Purple Glock 42 for sale
Do Glocks come in purple?
Glock offers purple finishes on select models. The Glock 43 is available in lilac purple frame, royal purple Cerakote, and Apollo Custom Purple/Black options. The Glock 19 Gen5 comes in a purple/aluminum finish. These are not standard production colors, so availability varies by retailer.
Is a Glock 42 a 9mm or 380?
The Glock 42 fires .380 Auto, not 9mm. It's a subcompact striker-fired pistol designed for concealed carry with a 6-round magazine capacity. Glock makes the 43 and 43X in 9mm if you prefer that caliber.
Is a Glock 42 a good gun?
Whether it's "good" depends on your needs. The Glock 42 excels as a concealed carry gun—it's reliable, lightweight, and easy to shoot. The .380 Auto caliber and 6-round capacity suit backup or deep-concealment roles. If you want more stopping power or capacity, consider the 9mm Glock 43 instead.
What are the common Glock 42 problems?
Reported issues include failure to extract, double feeding, and limp wristing, though many stem from shooter technique or magazine problems rather than gun defects. Some ammo sensitivity occurs with certain loads. Most users report reliable performance. If problems persist, contact Glock for warranty service.
Is the Glock 42 snappy?
Recoil depends on ammunition. Standard .380 loads produce mild, manageable recoil, and most shooters find them comfortable for regular use. Avoid hot loads like Buffalo Bore +P — these can cause malfunctions in the Glock 42, locking the slide back with rounds still in the magazine, not just sharper recoil.
How much is a Glock 42 380 Blue Label?
Glock 42 .380 Blue Label pistols typically sell for around $319, with some retailers listing them at $372. Blue Label pricing varies by dealer and location, so check local availability for the best rate.
How many bullets does a G42 hold?
The Glock 42 magazine holds 6 rounds. With one round chambered, the total capacity is 7 rounds.
What colors does the Glock 42 come in?
The Glock 42 comes standard with a black slide and black polymer frame, but factory color variants beyond black do exist, such as Eggshell Blue Cerakote with Silver Slide. Our marketplace carries multiple color options if you want something beyond the standard black configuration.
