Have Taran Tactical plus 2 extended base pads for belt use and kept 1 magazine with a regular baseplate for ankle holster use. With the plus 2 I have 9 in the gun and 8 more in a spare magazine. I'm running a Trijicon RMR sight on mine as my eyes are to the point I cant focus on the front sight like I need to for accurate shots. One caution. There are minor differences in the 42 and 43 that will keep you from using the same holster for each. Not like the other Glocks in that respect.

Love my G42 I run Powerball ammo in it just like the round nose tip for positive cycling. (Powerball ammo is a HP tip that has a poly ball in the HP so it's a HP that functions like a FMJ bullet when it cycles.) Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst

Don’t even know it’s riding on the belt. Would I prefer a 9mm, probably, but stoked with 9 rounds of premium SD ammo, I feel more than adequate for the job at hand. It also carries easily with standard mag in a pocket holster.
