Built in the USA, this G42 features the frame legend "MADE IN USA • GLOCK, INC., SMYRNA, GA" and a barrel hood marked ".380 Auto" with both the Glock logo and a US stamp. Proof-style symbols on the barrel further denote its factory markings and inspection pedigree.
As a micro .380 ACP, the G42 is notably compact with a 3.25 in barrel, 5.94 in overall length, 4.13 in height, and 0.98 in width. Weight is approximately 12.17 oz without a magazine, 13.76 oz with an empty magazine, and 15.87 oz loaded. The single-column magazine well supports the standard 6+1 capacity.
The pistol pairs a matte black slide with rear serrations and a tan/FDE polymer frame. It uses fixed polymer sights with a white dot front and square-notch rear, delivering a straightforward sight picture in a lightweight package. The steel barrel contributes durability while keeping the overall footprint minimal.
Controls and internal safety features align with Glock standards: striker-fired action, Safe Action system with an integrated trigger safety tab, and a left-side magazine release. Matching serial numbers on the slide, frame, barrel, and front dust-cover insert add coherence and collector appeal to this USA-marked example.
