Love this little pistol, basically a Glock knockoff. Thoughts / opinions?

I’m just a Glock fanboy so I’m always going to pick a Glock. The 42 is my .380 gun. I’m not a huge fan of the round so I carry Xtreme Penetrators for .380

I’m a fan of midsized .40’s and .45’s, the tiny guns have a lot of appeal, but I can’t get myself to rely on one.

This one here has over 2000 rounds thru it and is extremely reliable

I don’t mean reliability.
I mean that I can’t get myself to trust a gun that has about 200 foot pounds per shot. It’s too weak to stop an aggressor, its role is as a backup.

But, if you like it and think that it will stop a man, OK, carry it.
But keep a couple of rounds in the mag, if you ever have to shoot an attacker or dog.
You may need to shoot them in the head, when they get really close.

You would be better off buying a .40, if you are going to carry a gun: and keeping the .380 as a back up, or a bedroom gun.😀

Always ask yourself, what’s the worst that could happen? What if I am attacked by 3 or 4 men at a time? A .40 or a ..45 will get them off of you, in a hurry. A .380 can’t handle 3 or 4 at a time, a .45 can.

I talked to a guy that likes the NAA revolver in .22 Mag, and I told him, be ready to shoot them in the head.

One of these guns will either stop them, or make them wish they had stopped.

My belief is the best gun to have is the one that is always on you. Practice, practice, practice. I can hit whatever I am aiming at. I like to wear gym shorts quite a bit and anything larger than a Glock 42 just doesn’t work for me.

OK, I just thought that I would put in my two cents. I talked my sister out of a .380 ACP, and she got a Glock 43 9mm. And I like .45’s myself.🥸

And I have my reasons for that, the .45 has been proven to stop men in war.
And, I like a .357, because that round has been proven to stop creeps and crooks on the mean streets of America.🤠

No problem we are just having an intelligent discussion. I respect your opinion. I have actually owned the Glock 21, Glock 36, Colt Officer’s. They are great powerful pistols. With the exception of the 36 they are all too big/heavy for EDC....My wife didn’t like the recoil on the 36...we aren’t young kids anymore so we both like the 42. She doesn’t like the DB because of the recoil but I don’t mind it

I went over to the Springfield Armory forum, and they were talking about the new Hi Power clone.

And I said that I would rather have an XD in .45, because it’s a much better gun. And so is a Glock .45, because you can’t hurt either one.

I was on YouTube and the topic was the SIG that the Army adopted, which is a great gun.But, I would take a Glock 22 .40 any day, over that gun.

But, those guns that I like are hard to conceal, that is true. When I start to carry, I plan to wear a Fanny pack holster. I am going to try to wear a service grade gun.

I have had a snub nosed .38 that I liked, and a Jennings .380 ACP too.

How did the Jennings run? I had an AMT backup 380 back in the day and it was a POS......

I didn’t keep the Jennings long enough to find out how well it worked, I gave it to my girlfriend.

 

[Mr380acp]

Never owned one of those....anyway I’m keeping it simple, Glocks and Diamondbacks

A Jennings is considered to be a junky gun, and with all of the quality small guns out there, no one really needs one.

Yes you are right. These guns will replace them.

These guns will replace what?
