Pachmayr Grip Extender for Glock 42

• Improved grip length: Extends the Glock 42 magazine floor area to give the little finger more support, which helps the pistol sit more securely in the hand during rapid strings and everyday practice.
• Factory-matched shape and texture: The extender is formed to match the pistol’s lines and surface pattern, so it feels integrated rather than bulky and preserves a natural purchase on a compact handgun.
• No added magazine capacity: This version is designed to improve comfort and control without changing round count, making it a straightforward handling upgrade for shooters who want a fuller grip without altering capacity.
• Tough polymer construction: The polymer body resists hard use, repeated magazine changes, and general range wear while keeping weight low and maintaining the practical simplicity expected from a carry accessory.
• Easy installation with two included: The design installs easily on the correct magazine, and the two-pack format lets shooters equip more than one magazine from the start for consistent handling.

About the Pachmayr Accessories Series

Pachmayr Accessories covers a broad range of practical shooting components built around better handling, recoil management, and day-to-day usability. The series includes handgun and revolver grips, rifle grips, and recoil pads for rifles and shotguns, reflecting Pachmayr’s long-standing focus on the points where the shooter meets the firearm. Within this family, the emphasis is not on cosmetic add-ons but on parts that change how a gun feels in the hand, how securely it mounts, and how comfortably it can be used over longer sessions.

The line spans traditional and modern formats, from slip-on rubber pistol grips to G10 Tactical and Renegade laminate designs, alongside compact accessories intended to improve control on small defensive handguns. That makes the series relevant to concealed-carry users, recreational shooters, and anyone refining the ergonomics of a working firearm. Across the range, the common design approach is straightforward: durable materials, model-specific fit, and functional shaping that supports a more stable hold without unnecessary bulk. In that context, grip extenders sit naturally within the series as simple upgrades that make compact pistols easier to control while preserving their compact role.

About the Pachmayr Grip Extender for Glock 42

The Pachmayr Grip Extender for Glock 42 is a compact handling upgrade made for shooters who want a more secure hold on Glock’s slim .380 platform without changing the pistol’s basic character. Small-frame handguns are easy to carry, but they often leave the shooting hand with less surface area to anchor against recoil. By extending the magazine floor area, this model gives the hand more support where it matters most, helping the pistol track more consistently and feel less cramped during practice or defensive drills.

Because it is shaped specifically for the Glock 42, the extender follows the pistol’s contours and texture closely, so the finished setup looks and feels more like an original part than an afterthought. That matters in practical use: a grip accessory that blends into the frame tends to preserve a natural draw and a familiar hand position. Pachmayr also builds the extender from high-strength polymer, which keeps the accessory light while standing up to repeated magazine handling and regular range use.

This version is intended to improve comfort and control without increasing magazine capacity, making it a sensible choice for shooters who simply want a fuller grip and better leverage on a compact handgun. The easy-install format keeps the upgrade straightforward, and the included two-pack makes it practical to set up multiple magazines with the same grip profile for consistent handling.

About Pachmayr

Pachmayr was founded by Frank Pachmayr in 1929, and the company’s early custom gun shop operated in Los Angeles, California. Over the decades, the brand became closely associated with practical firearm ergonomics, especially through recoil pads, handgun grips, and other shooting accessories designed to improve control and comfort. Pachmayr introduced its first recoil pad in 1949, and its rubber handgun grips reached the market in the early 1960s, helping establish the brand’s reputation in this category.

Today, Pachmayr is known for products such as handgun grips, recoil pads, and gunsmithing accessories, with grip families including Diamond Pro, G10, Renegade, and American Legend. The brand joined Lyman in 1996, and its manufacturing plant relocated to Prescott Valley, Arizona, in 2014. That history gives Pachmayr a strong place in the shooting-accessories market, particularly for shooters looking for proven grip and recoil-control solutions.
