Glock 42

**Dstrbdmedic167** · 2 March 2015, 13:37

Interesting thing for those that may be affected. I bought my Glock 42 last year on release day. Has a test fired date of 12-13-13. I had a lot of issues with flat nose(truncated) ammo from day one. I called Glock last year and was told to shoot different ammo by the tech that answered.

Well I shot it over the weekend and had similar issues. Now I haven't had any issues since last year. When I went to researching I noticed that they have started making changes. Called again and this time they were more than happy to get it in for repair and look at it.

What was interesting is when I researched that they silently made changed back in May of last year. Newer models are marked with a 1 on the frame and a couple of other places. As well as newly designed mags. I confirmed this when I went to my LGS today.

Apparently they made rolling changes. The newest models have different recoil springs and magazines. I also was an early adopter. I know when the gen 4's had problems you could call glock to get free replacement parts. Wonder if you can do that for the 42'so

They sent me a shipping label to send it in. So I'll get it out this week and see what they do.

I did. They pretty much said it wasn't a recall but they'd be glad to look at it and do what is needed. I think it's a silent, manual recall personally.

I'll agree 100% there

So got my 42 back today. They practically rebuilt the gun. Feeds much better than before and the 6 mags I've ran through it so far have been flawless. Here is a pic of everything they replaced.

wow that is alot of stuff did they give you free mags ??

**Dstrbdmedic167** · 13 March 2015, 14:13

They did everything there for free and replaces the old mags with new ones. So no extra mags just new mags.

**toolboxluis00200** · 13 March 2015, 14:17

wow not even a reach around
