I bought 2. The first one, an LCP, was simply to show people how crappy little .380s really are. It is a miserable piece of ....... Then the G42 followed me home because I wife was looking for something smaller then her Kimber. Dang if those two didn’t meet in my safe and a third one showed up a couple of weeks ago. Wife saw the front of American Rifleman and said this looks interesting, buy one so I can shoot it.
Get an LCP 2. About 1000x better than the original. It's actually shootable and has a nice trigger. I can't get carrying a 42 with the negligible difference in size compared to the 43. The LCP 2 is just tiny and my gym short gun. Is it ideal? No. Is it better than a sharpened stick? Yes.
