Congrats! My first Glock as well. I stayed away for a long time, not a fan of their full-size offerings. I have a couple XD's, that HK, and some 1911's - mostly got the G42 for the wife, and if she ends up not liking it then she'll be my pocket pistol

.
Oh and I haven't shot the 42 yet. Hopefully in a few days.
And a few minutes ago I bought this for her:

Gah.. it appears we have very similar tastes in handguns. I love the XD's. And 1911's have always caught my eye, but i've never tried one. Next time I go to the range, I think I will.
I always stayed away from Glock as well, but wanted to try something i've never tried at the range and i've been looking for a carry gun to take with me on my bike. The G42 just kind of stood out.
The only bad thing about it is that .380 ammo is so expensive right now.
After I posted my response last night, I noticed you said you just got it that day. I hope you enjoy it. The only two things I found different about this gun are:
1. Like I said in my previous rambling, the bottom plate is super hard to get off the magazine. You either need a Glock tool or a long/relatively thin screw driver to get it off.
and
2. The slide release is almost impossible when the magazine isn't in. It gets a little bit easier, but not much once you put an empty mag in. Then when it's loaded, it's perfect. So if you ever try to release the slide while you have no magazine in, don't worry. I was worried that I got a defective gun.
And on that note, i'll post something else I purchased recently:
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection for Xbox One
I love BL2 and I kept my PS3 solely to play The Pre-Sequel. When I found out that The Pre-Sequel will be coming out on Xbox One, I stopped playing it.
If you've never played Borderlands, really, they are some of the most fun games i've ever played in my life. And they have tons of replay value, so it's definitely worth new price of $60
