Nice write-up. Great pics!
I have done some shooting with a friend's G42 and don't have any complaints about its function or accuracy.
I think most of the questioning relates to its size--if you're going to make a gun that big, why not make it a single stack 9mm?
But, I agree with you otherwise: If you're good with carrying a .380 and if you don't mind the size, by all means get a G42 and enjoy!
Glad you like yours!
