Quick take: Expect a streamlined Glock lineup under the V-Series banner. The G42 (.380) and G43 (9mm) continue as compact, proven EDC choices. For discreet spare-mag carry across all Glock models, pair your pistol with an ExtraCarry pocket mag pouch.

What’s changing with Glock’s V-Series

Reports indicate Glock is simplifying parts of its commercial catalog and introducing a V-Series family. While some legacy models may be discontinued or phased out over time, the Glock 42 and Glock 43 remain in production due to their popularity for everyday concealed carry.

Why the Glock 42 & Glock 43 still matter

Glock 42 — micro .380 ACP

  • Role: Ultra-light, deep-conceal carry (pockets/ankle/inside-waist).
  • Feel: Slim, manageable recoil for its size; easy to conceal in light clothing.
  • Use it if: Minimum footprint is your top priority.

Glock 43 — single-stack 9mm

  • Role: Slim 9×19 that balances concealability with common defensive ammo.
  • Feel: More punch than .380 with a still-compact profile; huge holster/parts ecosystem.
  • Use it if: You want discreet carry with 9mm performance.
