See previous post

M&P has both the M&Pc and the Shield

Beretta has the Storm Subcompact and the Nano

Ruger has the SR9 and the LC9

Springfield XDM in both double and single column

Sig has the same. heck they have a subcompact and two different types of single column 9mm.

Those are off the top of my head. I'm having difficulty thinking of a major pistol maker that makes 9mms, and doesn't have both a double column and a single column, besides Glock of course.

If I understood the question correctly, he was asking why Glock chose to make the G42 a .380 instead of a 9mm. I believe the answer is obvious. They didn't have a .380 on the US market and sales on the G26 are still going strong. No reason to disrupt the sales numbers on the G26.

Except all those manufacturers make both small double column and single column pistols. Frankly the 9mm has captured this market away from .380s. .380s are now primarily in the "tiny" category. Glock is about six years late to the party. Its cool and all, and I am not a Glock hata, but Beretta, Ruger, S&W, Sig Sauer, Walther, Bersa, and Colt all have excellent .380s from middle sized down to right tiny. Plus there are others like Rorhbaugh and a host of others that compete with micro pistols as well.
