Glock 42 6 mm is a licensed ASG replica of the iconic Austrian semi-automatic pistol based on a modern polymer frame. The model features faithful reproduction of the firearm original, a metal slide with a realistic Blow-Back system, Green Gas power, and high ergonomics. The presented version is a compact model in black.
The Glock 42 replica has been manufactured with close attention to structural details. Like the firearm version, the replica is compact, highly handy, and comfortable to carry. The construction is based on a polymer frame fitted with a movable slide. The manufacturer ensured not only faithful reproduction of the design but also operation of the mechanisms closely resembling the original. As a result, the replica allows partial disassembly in the same manner as the firearm.
The model is powered by Green Gas from a reservoir integrated into the magazine inserted into the grip. The Glock fires 0.20 gram BBs at a muzzle velocity of approximately 320 FPS, which is a good result for a replica with a metal moving slide. The number of shots depends mainly on air temperature and shooting dynamics. The replica features a Hop-Up system responsible for shot accuracy and range.
The model uses a Single Action (SA) trigger mechanism characterized by a short travel before firing and light trigger pull resistance. After racking the slide and firing the first shot, the striking mechanism is automatically cocked by the recoiling slide. The advantage of this solution is a simple design and the ability to fire precise shots without the risk of pulling them off target.
The gas-powered system enables the use of a strong Blow-Back mechanism responsible for realistic slide recoil after each shot. The noticeable “kick” pleasantly simulates the experience of shooting a real firearm. After the last BB is fired, the slide locks in the rear position, speeding up reloading.
The Glock features mechanical sighting devices, consisting of a fixed front sight and a rear sight with a U-shaped white marking to facilitate proper alignment.
The pistol is equipped with an automatic trigger safety in the form of an additional lever integrated into the trigger. The replica uses a metal magazine inserted into the grip with a capacity of 10 BBs.
