Updates to My Most Carried Handgun My Glock 42 380acp 

It is great for that. It just slips into your pocket. I highly recommend the sticky brand pocket holster I’ve had mine for years.

Look at the Vedder pocket locker holsters! Get a thumb break! Best pocket holster out there

Nice 👍🏻 I like your gun choices. I have a newer video showing the gun I have upgraded to for carry now. Still have my G42 but now I primarily carry my Canik MC9 with the 15+1 with V- Crown JHP. And running a red dot. I appreciate you watching!

Absolutely agree mine is the same it’s honestly a great gun

Appreciate it Brother yes it all comes to personal preference and how you train. I have a couple 3 dot sights but my preference for sure is just night sight in front and blackout /plain rear sight. Appreciate you watching brother 👊🏻

I completely agree always be ready is how I’ve lived my whole life

Killer combo 🔥 it is a great backup gun and deep concealment gun. I have a friend that is like 4’11 and it’s her primary carry gun because it’s one of the few guns that fits her hands and she can shoot it well.

I appreciate it very much 👍🏻 it’s awesome gun on me everyday. I really like the SI EMP+2 and of course Talon grips. Let me know what updates you do.

Thank you Brother God Bless 🙏🏻

I love Talon grips I run them on almost everything even AR rifles. I completely agree I love my G42.

Appreciate it 🙌🏻

Nice 👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely check out my latest video on my channel it’s the updated to my nightstand gun and I have them on my G17 in that video too👊🏻 appreciate you watching 🔥

They are awesome I have really enjoyed them. 👊🏻🔥

I did notice on the Glock Store that there is a +4 extension for the G42 now thus a 42X...I may be in the market for G42. I'd use the +2 for concealability and the +4 as a backup mag.

@@phigdon3 a plus 4 would be great for a backup mag for sure

@Nick Glock 42/Subcompact .380 (like the new .380 P365) and I wouldn't look back: much softer recoil, flatter/thinner, greater capacity, faster reloading, proper front/rear sights, and semis still seem easier to take apart and clean (the cylinder of a revolver just seems stubborn to fully clean). The airweight, .38 snubbies are just plain unpleasant to shoot, especially in double-action, and while .38s might have a marginal edge shot-per-shot over a .380, the faster follow-ups and capacity of a subcompact .380 negate that. They do tend to work better for front-pocket carry (fatter grips and usually lack rear sights that could snag), not worrying about magazine springs, ease of use (the ole 'just keep pulling the trigger'), and versatility of ammo (like rat shot if you worry about snakes); yet as for the mythical revolver reliability, they *can* jam (ex. cylinder getting stuck from dirt or damage).

Nice 👍🏻 ya I like +2 bases it puts it in a capacity that I really think makes it a better carry option. I appreciate you watching

It’s my favorite 380 especially since I put the Strike Industries EMP base plates on my mags. It gives me the capacity I want and the grip even better! Let me know how you like yours once you get it.

Appreciate it and it’s still not back to the length it was before I had to shave it off for surgery but it’s getting back there 👊🏻appreciate you watching a tell others I greatly appreciate it 💯

I’ve wanted to try some Extreme Penetrators just haven’t had a chance yet. I’ve watched a lot of videos and they look awesome 👍🏻

​@@ShieldArmsMy every day carry is a Glock 42 with Trijicon HD XR Night Sights and a 9 round ETS magazine fitted with an XGRIP for a full three-finger grip. I load the magazine with 8 rounds maximum, plus one in the chamber, to ensure 100% reliability. Ammo of choice is Underwood Extreme Penetrator 380+P. This combination has very little recoil, is very controllable and EXTREMELY accurate! I carry it 24/7 in a pocket holster and honestly it's so light and compact that I forget it's there. The best self-defense pistol is the one you never leave home without!

@@D.L.W. absolutely agree 💯 I have carried everyday even in the house because I’m in a wheelchair so if I need something it needs to be in me. I have carried everyday since I was 21 I’m 44. I love the Underwood great ammo. I really like the Fort Scott TUI ammo I run it’s also a solid copper round 👍🏻

I want a G43x for sure but I bought this G42 right after it came out so the G43 wasn’t even a thing let alone the G43x. But all of them are great guns imo. 👍🏻

@@ShieldArms that makes 100% sense. Sometimes I fail to realize the release dates of the firearms haha

@@YureiOni I wish I would’ve known that the 43 was coming but I ended up loving this gun. And the TUI is outstanding 🔥

No not at all and I have them on 3 of the G42 mags and also the plus 5 EMP mag bases on my G17

Love Strike Industries products and I bought them myself, I don’t get anything from them for saying that. They are just products that I like and use

It’s Sticky Holster

@@ShieldArms Thank you!

I’m in Mississippi it’s a lot more rural small town we really don’t have public transportation and I have my conceal carry permit so there are not many places here I can’t carry.

@@ShieldArms I live near Flint, Michigan. I rely on public transportation to get around the county. While I can legally carry. I am not allowed to carry on a bus, in a bar, government buildings and some other locations.

Carry anyway

​@kylenewman28 If there's nobody patting you down or metal detectors, then how would they ever know?

Yup, you know for sure the bad ones don't care what the laws are. @@thomasorchard

Too true Santa could just fly away 👍🏻. My neighborhood is obviously the North Pole 🎄🎅

Appreciate the advice 👍🏻

I can understand that I put the Strike Industries EMP base plate so it gives me a little fuller grip and 2 extra rounds without add almost no weight. So 9+1 of 380 acp and I carry Fort Scott Tumble Upon Impact solid copper rounds and spare mag of 9 more. I never feel unarmed with that setup!
