I found the letter in a desk drawer and thought that maybe it would be a good thing to do. Since the gun functioned perfectly already, it wasn't a high priority for me and I forgot about it.įast forward to a year and a half ago-more than twenty years later.

A year or two later, they sent a letter offering some kind of free trigger upgrade. Maybe this isn't their 'official' warranty, but this might give you an indication of how Glock rolls. I talked my parents and in-laws into buying G42's and each has had the same problems. I'm impressed with Glock CS and warranty department however I'm surprised they sent out a bad design in the first place. I brought 6 different types of ammo to the range to try it, even some really old weak stuff and it ran like a Glock should, not one issue. I had them install Glock night sites while it was there for 55$. I got it back 2 weeks later and it said on the invoice they changed the slide release, a spring in the trigger and the whole mags themselves.

He sent me a packing slip that was prepaid by them for overnight shipping and I sent it back. I contacted Glock and told them the issues and even asked if they had been getting a lot of come backs but the Technician said no (I doubt he would say otherwise anyway). As a multiple Glock owner it was frustrating to say the least.Īnyway myself and the wife are putting in for our CCW so I decided to finally send it in because the last thing you want is an unreliable gun. I even tried what some recommended which was using hotter ammo but still had problems. I read about the problems with the first issued ones so I waited until Glock did a revised one with different mags and other parts that they changed to fix the issues before making my purchase thinking they took care of it. After having multiple FTF, FTE and stovepipe issues with various ammo we just stopped shooting it until I could send it back in. I bought the wife a G42 for her birthday last year and she just loved it, (She has a G17 that she can outshoot me with) but after taking it to the range a few times we were both very disappointed. I know 4 other G42 owners with the same issues.

Just sharing my experience with our G42 and warranty work in case anyone else has these problems.
