Glock 42 with metal slide GBB black - VfC

The pocket-sized pistol: The GLOCK 42 is a replica of the company's most compact model. This makes it the perfect backup or pocket pistol, which stays very close to the original with metal slide and blowback effect. Even on the inside, the replica does not stray far from the original: Detailed disassembly like the real model is possible thanks to high-quality workmanship. The licensed replica fires 6 mm BBs with a maximum of 1 Joule. The adjustable shoot-up gives the pellets an extremely stable trajectory, allowing them to reach their target with the highest precision. For a long time, Glock fans have wished for a replica of the world-famous Austrian pistol series. This wish was not pursued for a long time. But the wait is over: one of the most iconic pistol series in the world is now entering the airsoft world, and finally, the officially licensed airsoft Glocks are available with us! The grip of the Glock 42 is made of a composite plastic that closely resembles the original. It is textured at all relevant points, ensuring a secure grip even with wet or sweaty hands. The magazine release is easy to operate even for smaller hands, without being "flimsy." Moreover, it can also be easily converted for left-handed shooters. The slide catch engages cleanly after the last shot and can also be released firmly from both sides. In the middle in front of the trigger guard, there is a continuous serial number engraved – just like the original. The F in the pentagon is discreetly located on the trigger guard. The three-point sight, which we already know from the Glock 19 and Glock 19X, as well as the backplate of the slide, are made of high-quality plastic. The slide features notches at the front and rear, which significantly facilitate reloading or "power stroking" under difficult conditions. The weapon can be disassembled like the original. Initially, releasing the safety latch may be a bit stiff, but it loosens up over time. All parts, including the internals, fit very precisely and without play. Essential parts of the trigger group are made of steel, but all are made of metal. We recommend disassembling and cleaning the pistol after 1-2 game days. Some models are very heavily lubricated from the factory. In this case, it may be advisable to remove some of the lubricant from the weapon. The barrel and inner barrel along with the hop-up chamber fit together cleanly. Unfortunately, we found that the coating of the outer barrel wears off quickly on most VFC models. To counteract this wear, we recommend applying a few drops of lubricant to the chamber. The trigger of the Glock 42 features, just like the original, a trigger safety and breaks cleanly. The reset is also virtually unbeatable for a pistol "out of the box." A quick and controlled rate of fire is absolutely no problem with this airsoft replica. The blowback of the Glock 42 GBB is also impressive, or rather, it can be felt. All in all, the system is extremely crisp and efficient. The included gas magazine holds 10 rounds. Unfortunately, the weapon is only partially compatible with magazines from other manufacturers. WE or KJW magazines work in the weapon, but they fit very tightly. The best results were achieved with the original Glock/VFC magazines, green gas, and 0.25g BBs. We strongly advise against operating the weapon with CO2 magazines, as it is not designed for that. However, the weapon can be fired with red gas in colder temperatures. All in all, VFC, in cooperation with Glock, delivers a reliable and well-thought-out pistol here, which is suitable for both players and collectors and is a must-have for all Glock enthusiasts.
