The glock 42 is perfect. I've got a 1000 rounds through mine already without a hiccup. Soft shooter. Accurate. Great trigger and reset. Slightly larger than the mouse guns, but performs 100% better, like a full frame pistol.
I hate to break it to you, but a striker fired gun operates almost the same way as a SAO gun, just no hammer. The main difference with a Glock is that it utilizes a trigger safety, where the P938 has an external safety much like a 1911 does. If you carry with one in the chamber, your Glock is essentially "cocked and locked", the same way a SAO gun is. If for some reason you feel more comfortable without an external hammer in the cocked position, that's fine, but that's also the state your Glock is in anytime you've got a round chambered.
With a Glock, pressure on the the trigger will both disengage the safety and fire the weapon, meaning only one thing has to go wrong to have a negligent discharge. Comparatively multiple things need to go wrong with other pistol designs to result in a negligent discharge. If you plan to carry the pistol in a pocket, purse, fannypack, etc. where the gun can be out of the holster enough for the trigger to be exposed before it is completely free of it's carry position, it's potentially more dangerous with a Glock. For this type of carry, you really want an additional external safety. Just sayin'.
You're not breaking anything to me, don't worry. I purchased a colt mustang in 1994 and sold it only a few months ago. Carrying cocked and locked presents unique problems that most other firearms don't share. God forbid the safety comes off. It's the number 1 problem with those guns.
The glock for me isn't a pocket carry, but there isn't a gun made that I wouldn't carry in a holster anyway. Glocks double action trigger with safety is better protection compared to a single action trigger.
