I think the .380 G42 was developed as an engineering stepping stone for the 9mm. .380 is 9mm in diameter and is known in foreign countries as 9mm "Kurz" which is "Short" in German (correct me if I'm wrong). After making an operational .380 it was probably easier to move up to a higher power cartridge just by adjusting mass and springs rather than the entire gun. So basically it seems to me that it was just a good engineering decision.
Still very happy with my S&W Shield but I am interested in shooting the 43 once the bugs are worked out

I was doing some recon on the 43x for the wife and this thread popped up. This is a bump for Luis and the guys here that remember him. RIP Luis... UW and Luis had some of the best banter in forum history, good stuff. Read this thread from the beginning..."OMG Luis...use spell check for the love of God!!!"

Thanks Stone. Luis was a joy to have around. I miss some of the other former regulars too.

I wish I could say I did that one purpose, but alas, my inner Luis came out.
