It appears to be a single stack .380, a bit smaller than the G26 9mm in most dimensions (5.94 inches in length for the .380; 6.41 inches in length; 4.13 for the height; 4.17 for the G26). Of course the real difference, of course (aside from 9mm vs. .380) is the width&#8230;the porky little G26 is 1.26 wide. The new .380 is only .836 wide, approaching my ideal dimension of .75 inch. The size is closer of a Kahr CW9 9mm or the Ruger LC9 than the current generation of .380s, making it \u2014 <i>if the leak is correct and not a false flag<\/i> \u2014 more along the lines of the Ruger LC380.<\/p>\n<p>I would suspect a 9mm will follow pretty quickly. I&#8217;m surprised a 9mm wasn&#8217;t the first offering, since the .380 gold rush seems to have given way to the mini-9s. No doubt Glock will sell a zillion of them. You note I don&#8217;t mention pining away for mini-40s&#8230;that&#8217;s because I think they suck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new little Glock 42 has been outed on the Boomershooter Forum.
