Glock 42, Number 1 - Got a call from the other half that Cabela's got them in and they were going quick. So, I said "YES, bring me one!" And it came home. Inspected it. Looks exactly like a full-size Glock that got shrunk in the dryer. CUTE as a BUG! Cause that's what it is. Put it in a pocket holster and it just disappeared into my front pocket. Perfect. So far, so good. Can't wait to get to the range and try it out.
Next morning - got up, got dressed, just about ready to head out the door, and can't find the 42. It's GONE. No time to search for it, so went on to work. Get a call later on in the day from the other half to give me a range report on MY new Glock! Apparently, it was great. But... I am not happy. I wanted to be the first to shoot MY new gun! You all understand, right?
So, had to wait for the weekend to shoot. And shoot, I did. Put about 100 rounds through it, and it shoots just like a full size Glock. Perfect. Recoil is extremely light for a gun this small. Function is perfect. Sights are right on. Only complaint is the slide release is tight as a tick and tiny too. No problem. We can put an extended slide release on it. We thought.... Until we tore it down and found that it is not the same. Not a lot different. But different enough that a standard slide release won't work. OK, fine. I can wait until Glock figures it out and makes one available.
And, still not happy that I was not the first one to shoot my own gun, other half admits it was not fair, so another one will come home for me. Just me. All mine. OK, I am happy again. Fast forward a couple of weeks. Another Glock 42 finds it way home to me on a Friday night. Perfect. We have a CHL class on Saturday morning. It can go to the range with ME, and, after the class has qualified, we can bond over paper and steel targets. Can't wait.
Saturday afternoon, we have completed the class room portion, I finish up grading tests, and making the CHL-100 certificates, and then head out to the range, where the class is already qualifying. I notice someone else has a new Glock 42, so we strike up a conversation about it. Turns out, they haven't even had it out of the case yet. Brand new. Asked where they found it, and they said "Been looking all over for one, so your other half sold it to me." WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Waiting now for number 3. sigh...
