Glock 41 and baby Glock 42 at EUROSATORY 2014

9
When it comes to service pistols that are highly reliable, first of all professional shooters recall Glock pistols. This name has already become largely decisive for the practicality and effectiveness of such weapons like a gun. At the "EUROSATORY 2014" exhibition, the Austrian company presented its latest developments. Visitors were able to see the models of pistols, which are made for the needs of the army, police and special forces, the website reports all4shooters.com.

Gathered at the exhibition center in Paris, experts were able to appreciate the Glock 41 pistol .45 ACP caliber, as well as the equally interesting Glock 42 caliber .380 ACP.

The 42 th Glock is a subcompact small arms, which was introduced in Paris after its sales started in the European Union and North America. 41-th "Glock" also got to the exhibition after the start of sales. Today, this approach to business will not surprise anyone. The weapon has a world name, and therefore new models can be purchased before the moment they are officially presented at the international level.

The Glock 41 Pistol is a truly professional weapon. Its barrel has a polygonal cut, which has a positive effect on the accuracy of shooting with a specially selected total length of about 226 mm. Today, sales of the 41 "Glock" are at the level of sports weapons.

Glock 41 and baby Glock 42 at EUROSATORY 2014


The gun is powered through an 13-cartridge detachable magazine, made of a special polymer that is highly durable. The store has a two-row structure.

The presence of the Picatinny class MIL-STD-1913 bar allows you to use this gun with various accessories, without which no professional shooter can do today (whether it be an athlete, a military man, or a police officer). Glock 41 is equipped with a frame version Gen.4, with the back of the handle of the weapon can be changed.

The gun was appreciated by experts who know a lot about weapons for performing special operations. Such a weapon has outstanding accuracy if it is in the hands of a professional. Using a Glock 41 pistol in combat allows the shooter to be mobile and to conduct aimed fire from different positions. Such a pistol is perfect for carrying out operations to free hostages, and therefore it causes great interest among representatives of special services.

If we talk about the 42-m Glock, then this is the smallest and thinnest gun company from Austria. For him, created a special single-row magazine for six rounds. The main “mission” of such a pistol is to be found at the right moment almost imperceptibly. His wearing is a pattern of stealth. The total length of the Glock 42 is only about 151 mm with a width of 24 mm. The mass of the gun with a full ammunition does not exceed 400 g. Toy? In appearance, size and weight - yes, but in terms of effectiveness, this is a full-fledged military weapon!



Glock 42 does not have a Picatinny rail and interchangeable backs of the handle, but the engineers have provided for it a notch on the covers of the Gen. handle. 4 and beaver tail extension.

The use of such a gun can be carried out as a backup weapon, as well as an effective means of self-defense. In case of danger, such a “baby” saves lives.

    If we are talking about service pistols, which are highly reliable, then first of all professional shooters recall Glock pistols

    Advertising slogan in all its glory. There are samples created earlier than the Glock with greater reliability and better ergonomics. There is no point in giving examples - I'm not a salesperson.
    Its barrel has a polygonal cut, which has a positive effect on accuracy

    Another advertising myth. Such rifling only reduces the cost of barrel production.
    detachable store made of a special polymer, characterized by high strength

    So then it is, ale trochki not so. Recall the history of the company: Glock did not have stamping production at the initial stage of the company's development, therefore plastic stores were created instead of more compact and technologically advanced metal stores. Therefore, the pistol grip is not suitable for every shooter because of its thickness. Later, they would be happy to replace stores with thinner steel ones, but then - goodbye to unification.
    Advertising must be published on other resources. Online waste paper.

      In my opinion, the thickness of the handle is explained by the double row of the store and nothing more. On the Beretta-92 it is even thicker and personally uncomfortable for me. When the store was quickly changed (we practiced these exercises with Glock 17,19 for hours) we threw them onto the cement floor - they didn’t fly apart from anyone, which I was pleasantly surprised by).

    The text of the article is advertising, not analysis.
    However, Glock no longer needs "reviews" - world-class pistols.
    It is a pity that our gunsmiths could not create such a personal weapon.
    (PY, who came to the PM, my friends remember ... uh ... not very good).
    It’s even more a pity that in Russia it is impossible to legally acquire such weapons.

      With all your irony (I’m giving you a plus))) when performing a task involving moving over rough terrain with the presence of swamps, rivers, sand and traveling as a personal weapon, I would still take Makar with me, but for the city, certainly Glock . So to each his own
      And Glock doesn’t hack our 7N21 cartridges, but HW all including and them - imported

      patriotism should not be confused with idiocy ..... although, alas, this is a common practice.

    There is no emoticon - that’s not a joke ...
    IMHO: from my point of view, PM is a good gun, PY is bad. And Glock is better than PM.
    And your hysteria about patriotism doesn’t care for me.

    PM - yes, an unpretentious, reliable workhorse, without any special advantages, but also without failures.
    At the expense of PY, it is not bad, in some ways even unique, but very crude and with terrifying quality of execution (Tula - taxis, Izhevsk - behind!). And of course, ergonomics limp on both legs.
    GLOCK - nothing to say, only held in his hands.

    "Small" Glock - in the same "niche" as PSM, only for "normal" caliber, so what sludge?

      And what is it, in fact, bad? 380akp, as I recall, is an analogue of 9x17 Browning. PM-ovsky will be a little more powerful.
      Moreover, Western experts consider the PM and its cartridge to be one of the best "pocket-socks" pistols.

    Interestingly, is there an option for Swift under PBBS or not? And so Swift, like Glock beautiful - the trunk. I believe that weapons should be not only functional and reliable, but also beautiful, with their special beauty.

    GloTsk, in my opinion it is like a Kalash among pistols. I have a Glock-19, no matter how many delays are fired due to the fault of the pistol. And he eats any cartridge by caliber. whom all sorts of "Walters", "Sigi", ChZ, HC, those for some reason do not risk smile So the gun is decent.

    article is a pure advertisement. not a single sensible technical indicator.
    Its barrel has a polygonal cut, which has a positive effect on accuracy with a specially selected total length of about 226 mm.
    Is it the total length of the gun itself or the length of the barrel alone?
    it would be better to draw a table.
