Lipsey's FDE Glock 42

I heard Lipsey is coming out with a gray Glock. I saw the they had an FDE Glock 42. I am think they might come out with a FDE Glock 43. That would be cool :slight_smile:

Here is the link http://www.lipseys.com/mfg.aspx?mfg=GLOCK

Personally I am not interested in the G42, but a gray Glock and a possible FDE 43 does interests me.

I am looking at the grey G19 and G21 myself.

This is probably a dumb questions but are they actual grey polymer or is is just cerakoted?

The polymer is actually grey.

I believe it is grey polymer like the rest of the colored Glocks are. I agree though, the G19 and the G21 looked really slick.

Thanks guys, that is what I wanted to find out.

I saw the grey thing today and the fde 42 a few days ago. Almost makes me want to pick up a 42 now. Not a fan of grey but a huge fan of options…BRING IT ON!

DESERT SAND NEXT…

A grey g19 interests me

Ditto.

Kind of wish they did some Gen3s, but I’d buy a Gen4 G19. I kind of also wish they cerakoted the slide, too, like they did with the all FDEs. Heck, maybe they will next (if I recall, they started with just FDE frame and ended up doing the whole thing eventually).

Anyway, I’ll have to make the call when I see one in person!

FDE framed guns were around for at least 3 years before they did the run of matching slides.

Doh. Well, I could always send out the slide for a cerakote job but I’d need it to be almost the exact same color or it would bug me.

Anyway, getting off topic. I am interested in seeing on of the new gray framed Glocks in person. The 19 is the only one of the listed I’d be interested in at the moment.

Ill buy a gray gen 4 19.

A gray Gen 4 19 sounds really cool.

Caved and bought a FDE 42…I was on the fence…Not 100% confident in the .380. The Underwood Lehigh Xtreme Penetrator rounds + new FDE frame threw me over the edge.

Sigh.

Biggest and baddest Glock with the cutest and most harmless…

The Gen 4 finish is a disgrace to finishes. The finish on my 43 is abysmal.

Well, it’s not a “Gen 4 finish” some of my Gen 4’s have the (arguably) tougher textured finish. The new (old) finish bugged me at first but it’s really not that big of a deal to me any more.

That spur of the moment pic captured with an iphone is no indication of what those finishes look like in real life.

I really like that FDE G42. Might have to look into one after my round of Apple purchases.

Although I weened myself off of Glocks years ago, I do like the FDE variants…especially the FDE slide versions.

Really the only reason i bought it…I don’t think the leghigh defense rounds and the small need/want for a pocket pistol would have pushed me over the edge.
