I presently have a 26 and a 21 and they always fire no matter what I feed them and I don't clean them very often. I shoot multiple brands of ammo including my reloads. The only thing I don't use is steel cased ammo. The reputation of Glock is that it takes everything. The 42 though is not getting that reputation with multiple reports of problems ( even Hickock45 on youtube). The other issue is that 380 ammo is hard to find for whatever reason and it was hard to find even before Connecticut. I won't buy a gun that is so ammo selective as the new Glock appears to be. I have two 380s that shoot everything and when I carry 380 I have an S&W bodyguard which has never failed to fire everything I gave it. So, I am sure that Glock will solve this problem and I plan on waiting until they do. If I had to fill my car up with only one or two brands of gasoline I would be walking. It is upsetting though to hear that Glock is failing for so many people.

I am not for sure what you are calling a "decent" price. I have not seen one on the auction for less than $430.00. GT's is a lot cheaper. By the time you win an auction, pay for shipping, and then pay an FFL that is one expensive .380 in my opinion.
