    Hey girls need guns too! 380's seem to be selling great. Just look at Sigs line. Sometimes i carry a 380, cant always bring my pps43 with stick mags everywhere I go.

    I purchased a Diamond back 380 (db380) and for all practical purposes it is a mini glock I wanted a pocket mouse gun and this one fit the bill, I also got a Holsterpro holster for it so it looks like a billfold now I can go anywhere undetected. Check them out I think ya'll will be impressed.

    Is this glock basically a G28? I know they've made .380's for years, they just never able to import it, because it didn't make enough "points."

    Also curious, how this one did score enough points. My understanding, is that pretty much all .380's are made in the U.S. for that very reason.

    If you go to Glock's facebook page & read all the comments it's pretty funny. Most everybody thinks they missed the boat on this one. I am a glock fan but I hope they sell very few. Serves them right for not listening to the consumer.

    As GlockGuy points out, this one is made in Ga. But no, its not a G28, as from what I can tell, its smaller and holds even less(6+1, as opposed to 10+1). So it does sort of beg the question as to why they just didnt start making those two models here. But I digress.

    9 months to a year. They dont want to put it out too soon cause they will lose out on those .380 sales. Just my .02

    Makes sense. .380s have been flying off the shelves, I bet this will too.

    So Glock is going to offer a small single stack .380 (Glock 42). I like this caliber and own a CZ83 and Taurus PT 738 pocket pistol chambered in .380 (I love my CZ 83). However, one is always reading how you need to be carrying .45 or 9mm+P for adequate personal defense, or you might as well carry a club. The Glock 42 adds credibility to .380 as a viable caliber/weapon for personal defense.

    the 380 is better than nothing and with new loads and bullets is an excellent backup or something to carry if you have nothing else. But when you can buy a 9mm the same size, there is NO point.

    Assuming the 9mm single stack will be the same size, how will it compare to the XDS 9mm?
