Gun Descriptions

Walther PK380

The PK380 was the first semi-automatic polymer pistol developed with an easy to rack the slide. Its single-action/double-action trigger and internal slide stop are inspired by the legendary PPK, making the PK380 a real force to be reckoned. Chambered in .380 ACP, it provides noticeably soft and manageable recoil, allowing for the best shooting experience possible. The PK380 is fully ambidextrous with both a paddle-style magazine release and slide safety. The easy to handle size and overall dimensions of this pistol make it an ideal option for concealed carry. As with all of Walther’s high-quality handguns, it comes with a lifetime warranty for your peace of mind. The PK380 is sure to impress, no matter the situation.

Glock 42

The GLOCK® 42 Semi-Auto Pistol is a slim, subcompact semi-auto pistol designed specifically for concealed carry. Made with the same materials and quality control as all GLOCK semi-automatic pistols, the G42 is a carry gun you can count on at the moment of truth. Internally, the GLOCK 42 employs the same striker, short-recoil operated, and locked-breech barrel as the larger framed GLOCK pistols, and uses a dual recoil spring assembly as the Gen4 pistols. The Safe-Action trigger system makes shooting in stressed situations infallible. The rough textured polymer grip provides a solid hold, and while quite concealable, it offers shooters enough surface area for ultimate control. The white-dot front sight and the white-bracket rear sight provide rapid acquisition in dim lighting situations. The length, shape, finger rest, and size of the trigger opening are the same as the larger pistols, and the trigger is same size and shape as the smooth-faced triggers used on the Gen4 pistols, making them all familiar to those who already use GLOCK pistols. The GLOCK 42 Semi-Auto Pistol is a reliable, easy to maintain firearm that's perfect for everyday carry. The G42 comes with 2 ultra-reliable single-stack 6-round magazines.
