I have no idea what holster that is (I just googled a holster really quick to show the basics of what I meant, i now realize it was probably more confusing to do that), and I noticed the clip was on the side I edited them on after I posted, I think the other side would work better. But then...

You are probably right, I know it's stupid. It's still something I want, and wondering if anyone has seen anything similar. Appreciate your reply sir.

Hello, I have been searching for something specific. I am trying to find a low profile, non-bulky holster for a glock (42 specifically) but has a side hole for a foldable pen knife like a tiny buck knife. I plan to get a separate mag holster, or no mag holster. So just looking for something...

I plan to try jacketed ammo first, thanks for the heads up about the trouble with lead ammo. I guess I will see how it goes.. I just want to shoot this thing already, feel like a dork spending weeks reading things and posting freakin novels online about my extensive questions that probably dont...

OK, well glad to hear that and I also appreciate the valuable description of the experience you had, really is helpful to people like me who haven't put in the round time. Sounds like a pretty durable piece of machinery for sure. Yea, seems like most of you guys are saying the same thing...

Also one last question about the copper lube stuff from factory. It makes sense if there are silica particles in it, that it should be useful for breaking in etc. But why does the manual say to clean and oil the gun before use? Does that matter? I was wanting to take this to the range today...

I really appreciate all of you guys taking the time to reply and discuss this here in this thread, I will definitely be taking advantage of all this collective knowledge and experience for sure.. thank you. I have decided to just go shoot it as is, and at least do enough rounds to complete the...

Thanks for your reply, and glad to see another person weigh in affirming the newness, hehe. ty sir. Well, I have looked into those mag extenders/spring-guts mods. I dont think I will be using them because either it will make the gun bigger and I bought this one because it was small and dont...

Yes! I am very excited to finally shoot it. But I know I have to do it by the book, I plan to get a hold of a cleaning kit today, watch a tut on how to do it properly, go to the range and squeeze a few! and buy ammo! thx for reply. I see what you are saying, it really is different from gun to...

Thanks for reply, and I think everything you said really makes a lot of sense and definitely added more understanding to my limited knowledge. I'm okay with it not being perfect, I just wanted to make sure I was getting what I paid for, sounds like I did (other than the freakin cleaning stuff...

Yea, I was braced for that reality before purchasing, but the slightly smaller size of the 42 vs 43 is worth it to me. I just need to find out which brand is cheapest and is consistent for the range, still scouring youtube for ammo reviews that are recent, as I know the 42 has had slight changes...

Well I am sure you are correct in that it makes no difference, but if I have the choice of buying it brand new from factory, rather than buying it from a shop advertised as new but it really was used by others.. I'd rather buy it new even if it meant paying exorbitant shipping, just a matter of...

Hmm, yea I guess that could be an option as well. hard to know, they knew I was new to all this, so I'm just making sure they gave me what I payed for. Thanks for the link and reply sir. Thanks for that detailed response sir. you seem to know all the intricacies for sure. As for racking...

Btw what are you looking for when inferring prior use? Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for reply. that makes me feel better. It was just hard for me to tell not knowing how all of these tiny parts look new compared to fired etc. thanks. (also shouldnt it come with cleaning stuff? or no)

Hey there, well.. I'm not sure that it is. just picked it up last night, its missing cleaning stuff, and to me it looks like theres some wear on the slide lock part. and overall it just doesn't seem new. but i dont know anything, thats why im double checking, hopefully took decent enough pics...

Heres image chopped into 3 parts so that the resolution isn't scaled down. They have a range at this shop, I am thinking it could be possible they used this as a loaner for people to rent. I am new to this, just making sure I got what I payed for. I thank all those who take the time to reply, I...

Hey, just found this forum, just purchased first handgun. Shop sold it as new, but upon further inspection I am not sure now. I am not sure if the g42 comes with a cleaning rod/brush. but I was under the assumption that all glocks did, everything looked like it had been gone through. I don't...
