Awesome! I would think the G42 would have less recoil based on size and weight, but haven't shot either one.
My wife said the CM9 has too heavy of a slide spring for her to use, is the CW380 the same way? |

That's encouraging. I was struggling with mine. I sent it back for work, but have not had an opportunity to shoot it since. It is tiny, and does fit the role of the pocket pistol well. Are you carrying the 6 or 7 rnd magazines?

I have both and haven't put them through the break-in period yet, but I would say racking the slide on the CW380 is about 80% of the CM9. My wife was able to do it, but only after I told her to use the full hand over the slide technique. So far, I do love these little Kahrs. I'm finally carrying all the time thanks to the 380. |

You think the G42 has a lot of recoil?

Looky what I got from the big brown truck today!
That's a 250 round pack of reman .380acp 100gr FMJs and 2 precious boxes of the coveted PrecisionONe .380acp 90gr XTP unicorn rounds. I'm gonna make some noise this week with my little CW380.

Then I'm going with the G42 (at least mine) is crap. I think the Fiocchi ammo is out of spec. The .380 FMJ I have won't chamber in my P380, but it will in my P3AT and my wife's Bodyguard (looks like the P3AT/Bodyguard have looser chambers.) I tried the Fiocchi ammo in a case gauge, and it will not go all the way in. I have 4 boxes, and I checked a number of rounds from each box. Every one I tried wouldn't fit in the gauge. All the other .380 ammo I have (Winchester, Federal, Speer, even crappy Russian .380 ammo) will fit into the gauge all the way.  |

I love glocks... I drank the cool aid and have the bug for life... That being said my g42 was way to big for what it is and I ended up selling it and now I have the Kahr. Perfect little bug. Great trigger and a better shooter.

For what it's worth, the only ammo my Glock has had trouble with is the Fiocchi FMJ. Occasionally it won't fully chamber a round.

I tried Fiocchi FMJ, Winchester white box FMJ, Remington Golden Saber, Federal Hydra Shok, and Hornady Critical Defense. Probably one or two others. The ONLY thing that functioned 100% was the Federal Hydra Shok.

My wife and I have shot both the CW380 and G42. After 1 shot with the G42 she said this is the one and that is what she went home with. She is very recoil sensitive. That being said. I carry a CM9 because it is the same size as a G42 but in 9mm. All are great CCW pistols IMO.

I know Pokey is trying to trash the G42 in multiple threads but at the end of the day they are all good pistols. |

I saw that Kahr is making the CT380 now, which is closer in size to the G42. Should be interesting, I would like to compare them head-to-head if I can ever find a CT380. Lots of people trying the G42 and selling it soon afterwards, but other people love them.
