Tips On Hiring A Fort Myers Pest Control Service
Why Hire A Pest Control Company
To put in a simpler term, pests cause problems because they cause damage to your electronic devices, ruin your lawn, eat your foods and most of all the root causes of most infectious diseases that are deadly. If you are starting to face some pest related issues in your home, using the services of a professional pest controller who have the right knowledge and equipment is the best course of action. Since there are varied choices of pest companies in your local area, it is highly beneficial to do your due diligence and makes it certain that you are relying on the services of a reliable and skilled contractor.
Below are some of the major points to consider:
Good track record
One of the quality indicators to a reliable service is a solid track record. The track record is a collection of the different types of information: feedbacks, testimonials, credentials, services, price details, after sales details and many more. The information should be complete, and as much as possible they should show you certificates signed by an authorized person.
Reasonable price
Take note that the cost at which a pest control company will charge you depends on the type of treatment method they intend to use and the extent of their job, such as the scope of work and how long the work would take.
Pest control treatment
If you have a pest controller at home, try to ask about the procedures they use for controlling the pests. If you have pets or small children, know whether there are any potential side-effects of their control methods. Check also to see if evacuating until the treatment is completed is necessary.
Proper insurance coverage
If you want to make sure that you are fully protected, ask if they offer an insurance coverage. Since it is quite expensive, having the right insurance gives the peace of mind when the work is being carried out at home.
Member of an association
When a pest control company has signed a registration with one of the pest control associations, it is apparent that their services are safe and legal.
Take advantage of a free inspection
The more reputable pest control companies offers a free inspection of your property to give you an accurate price quotation. On top of that, a good pest control company first identifies the species, locate their nests and decide on the most efficient way of getting rid of them. To see what kind of employees the company hires, take advantage of this free inspection and ask about the services and the extent of their job. A good pest control representative can effectively communicate the happening and whereabouts of your home. He/she also knows how to treat your pets and can give you a good rationale.
With the right pest control company, we can get rid of the pests at home efficiently, quickly and safely. This can be done easily when you hire a company. To evaluate your options, use these ideas today!

More About Pest Control
Pest control
Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, and can be perceived to be detrimental to a person's health, the ecology or the economy. A practitioner of pest control is called an exterminator.
Pest control is at least as old as agriculture, as there has always been a need to keep crops free from pests. In order to maximize food production, it is advantageous to protect crops from competing species of plants, as well as from herbivores competing with humans.
The conventional approach was probably the first to be employed, since it is comparatively easy to destroy weeds by burning them or plowing them under, and to kill larger competing herbivores, such as crows and other birds eating seeds. Techniques such as crop rotation, companion planting (also known as intercropping or mixed cropping), and the selective breeding of pest-resistant cultivars have a long history.
In the UK, following concern about animal welfare, humane pest control and deterrence is gaining ground through the use of animal psychology rather than destruction. For instance, with the urban red fox which territorial behaviour is used against the animal, usually in conjunction with non-injurious chemical repellents. In rural areas of Britain, the use of firearms for pest control is quite common. Airguns are particularly popular for control of small pests such as rats, rabbits and grey squirrels, because of their lower power they can be used in more restrictive spaces such as gardens, where using a firearm would be unsafe.
Chemical pesticides date back 4,500 years, when the Sumerians used sulfur compounds as insecticides. The Rig Veda, which is about 4,000 years old, also mentions the use of poisonous plants for pest control. It was only with the industrialization and mechanization of agriculture in the 18th and 19th century, and the introduction of the insecticides pyrethrum and derris that chemical pest control became widespread. In the 20th century, the discovery of several synthetic insecticides, such as DDT, and herbicides boosted this development. Chemical pest control is still the predominant type of pest control today, although its long-term effects led to a renewed interest in traditional and biological pest control towards the end of the 20th century.
Many pests have only become a problem as a result of the direct actions by humans. Modifying these actions can often substantially reduce the pest problem. In the United States, raccoons caused a nuisance by tearing open refuse sacks. Many householders introduced bins with locking lids, which deterred the raccoons from visiting. House flies tend to accumulate wherever there is human activity and live in close association with people all over the world[1][2] especially where food or food waste is exposed. Similarly, seagulls have become pests at many seaside resorts. Tourists would often feed the birds with scraps of fish and chips, and before long, the birds would rely on this food source and act aggressively towards humans.
Living organisms evolve and increase their resistance to biological, chemical, physical or any other form of control. Unless the target population is completely exterminated or is rendered incapable of reproduction, the surviving population will inevitably acquire a tolerance of whatever pressures are brought to bear - this results in an evolutionary arms race.
Types of pest control
Use of pest-destroying animals
Perhaps as far ago as 3000BC in Egypt, cats were being used to control pests of grain stores such as rodents. In 1939/40 a survey discovered that cats could keep a farm's population of rats down to a low level, but could not eliminate them completely. However, if the rats were cleared by trapping or poisoning, farm cats could stop them returning - at least from an area of 50 yards around a barn.[3][4]
Ferrets were domesticated at least by 500 AD in Europe, being used as mousers. Mongooses have been introduced into homes to control rodents and snakes, probably at first by the ancient Egyptians.[5]
Biological pest control
Biological pest control is the control of one through the control and management of natural predators and parasites. For example: mosquitoes are often controlled by putting Bt Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis, a bacterium that infects and kills mosquito larvae, in local water sources. The treatment has no known negative consequences on the remaining ecology and is safe for humans to drink. The point of biological pest control, or any natural pest control, is to eliminate a pest with minimal harm to the ecological balance of the environment in its present form.[6]
Mechanical pest control
Mechanical pest control is the use of hands-on techniques as well as simple equipment and devices, that provides a protective barrier between plants and insects. For example: weeds can be controlled by being physically removed from the ground. This is referred to as tillage and is one of the oldest methods of weed control.
Physical pest control
Physical pest control is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by removing, attacking, setting up barriers that will prevent further destruction of one's plants, or forcing insect infestations to become visual.
Elimination of breeding grounds
Proper waste management and drainage of still water, eliminates the breeding ground of many pests.
Garbage provides food and shelter for many unwanted organisms, as well as an area where still water might collect and be used as a breeding ground by mosquitoes. Communities that have proper garbage collection and disposal, have far less of a problem with rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies and other pests than those that don't.
Open air sewers are ample breeding ground for various pests as well. By building and maintaining a proper sewer system, this problem is eliminated.
Certain spectrums of LED light can "disrupt insects' breeding".[7]
Poisoned bait
Poisoned bait is a common method for controlling rat populations, however is not as effective when there are other food sources around, such as garbage. Poisoned meats have been used for centuries for killing off wolves, birds that were seen to threaten crops, and against other creatures. This can be a problem, since a carcass which has been poisoned will kill not only the targeted animal, but also every other animal which feeds on the carcass. Humans have also been killed by coming in contact with poisoned meat, or by eating an animal which had fed on a poisoned carcass. This tool is also used to manage several caterpillars e.g. Spodoptera litura, fruit flies, snails and slugs, crabs etc.
Field burning
Traditionally, after a sugar cane harvest, the fields are all burned, to kill off any rodents, insects or eggs that might be in the fields.[8]
Historically, in some European countries, when stray dogs and cats became too numerous, local populations gathered together to round up all animals that did not appear to have an owner and kill them.[9] In some nations, teams of rat-catchers work at chasing rats from the field, and killing them with dogs and simple hand tools. Some communities have in the past employed a bounty system, where a town clerk will pay a set fee for every rat head brought in as proof of a rat killing.
In Texas, the population has grown out of control and hunting is the most commonly used way to remove them.
Trap Cropping
A trap crop is a plant that attracts pests, diverting them from other crops in an agricultural field.[10] This leads to pest aggregation on the trap crop, where they can be more easily and cost effectively controlled using pesticides or control methods.[11] However, trap-cropping, on its own, has often failed to cost effectively reduce pest densities on large commercial scales, without the use of pesticides, possibly due to the pests ability to disperse back into the main field.[11]
Unlike trap crops, most traps used to control pests are man made, and used by rat catchers. A variety of mouse traps and rat traps are available for mice and rats, including snap traps, glue traps and live catch traps. Sticky traps, which often include pheromones to attract the pest, are also a common way of controlling many moth pests, such as Indian mealmoths.
Spraying pesticides by planes, trucks or by hand is a common method of pest control. Crop dusters commonly fly over farmland and spray pesticides to kill off pests that would threaten the crops. However, some pesticides may cause cancer and other health problems, as well as harming wildlife.[12]
Space fumigation
A project that involves a structure be covered or sealed airtight followed by the introduction of a penetrating, deadly gas at a killing concentration a long period of time (24-72hrs.). Although expensive, space fumigation targets all life stages of pests.[13]
Space treatment
A long term project involving fogging or misting type applicators. Liquid insecticide is dispersed in the atmosphere within a structure. Treatments do not require the evacuation or airtight sealing of a building, allowing most work within the building to continue but at the cost of the penetrating effects. Contact insecticides are generally used, minimizing the long lasting residual effects. On August 10, 1973, the Federal Register printed the definition of Space treatment as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):[13]
|the dispersal of insecticides into the air by foggers, misters, aerosol devices or vapor dispensers for control of flying insects and exposed crawling insects
Laboratory studies conducted with U-5897 (3-chloro-1,2-propanediol) were attempted in the early 1970s although these proved unsuccessful.[14] Research into sterilization bait is ongoing.
In 2013, New York City tested sterilization traps in a $1.1 million study.[15] The result was a 43% reduction in rat populations.[15] The Chicago Transit Authority plans to test sterilization control in spring 2015.[15] The sterilization method doesn't poison the rats or humans.[15] The product ContraPest was approved for the sterilization of rodents by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in August 2016.[16]
Destruction of infected plants
Forest services sometimes destroy all the trees in an area where some are infected with insects, if seen as necessary to prevent the insect species from spreading. Farms infested with certain insects, have been burned entirely, to prevent the pest from spreading elsewhere.
Natural rodent control
Several wildlife rehabilitation organizations encourage natural form of rodent control through exclusion and predator support and preventing secondary poisoning altogether.[17]
The United States Environmental Protection Agency agrees, noting in its Proposed Risk Mitigation Decision for Nine Rodenticides that "without habitat modification to make areas less attractive to commensal rodents, even eradication will not prevent new populations from recolonizing the habitat."[18]
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has also prescribed guidelines for natural rodent control[19] as well as for safely trapping them in residential areas and releasing them in the wild[20].
- Balsam fir oil from the tree Abies balsamea is an EPA approved non-toxic rodent repellent.[21]
- Acacia polyacantha subsp. campylacantha root emits chemical compounds that repel animals including crocodiles, snakes and rats.[22][23]

PARIS, FRANCE - When French President Nicolas Sarkozy wants a top journalist to discuss his country's business issues with, he knows he'll find quality when he turns to France's star journalist and presenter Guy Lagache. Guy Lagache is the Anchor and Managing Editor of the M6 French Network's "Capital" television show that each week broadcasts in-depth interviews and analysis about the world's financial and economic issues, with reporting that has high ethical standards for journalism. Probably one of the premiere qualities President Sarkozy admires about Guy Lagache is that like himself, Guy is not one to let key issues sit idle without some objective resolution, and he brings this quality to his "Capital" television show.
We spoke with Guy earlier this month at the 2009 Monte-Carlo Television Festival, and had an opportunity to learn about the hard work that he puts into producing the "Capital" show each week. Lagache is totally bilingual, speaking excellent French and English, and he has a Masters in Journalism from Columbia University in New York. In addition to keeping a keen eye on the world's business issues, he is just as interested in all types of world affairs and learning everything about different cultures.
Guy said that at the height of the current financial crisis, he was asked to put together an 80 minute show about the root cause sources of the crisis problems in just 5 days. He reiterated to us that it was a topic "full of enormous complexity" and the broadcast had to be created so that it was understandable to the people of France in an evening format. As Managing Editor of "Capital", Guy Lagache has a staff of 15 reporters working on building the productions for upcoming weeks. Lagache says that each show generally take about 2 months from start to finish to complete.
The first four weeks of developing a "Capital" broadcast piece are generally spent developing the script, and also researching the episode details for accuracy. Then the crews go out and start the filming and interviews based upon the earlier research. Sometimes, Lagache says, a "Capital" show may take three months to produce if the subject matter is complex or detailed, and research is needed to confirm the accuracy for the program. When he spoke to us about a "Capital" episode that he had completed last year in Canada, it was incredible to see how well he had remembered all of the detail and facts that had gone into making the production.
When Guy Lagache has time to take a break from the hard work he puts into producing his "Capital" television show, he says he likes to go jogging and enjoys reading. His musical interests lean towards listening to Hip-Hop and Rock, and he is also an avid follower of cinema, enjoying to watch both French and American motion pictures, and following the performances of the acting community both in France and in Hollywood.

"It's not a direct sequel although there are allusions to some of the characters in the original," Wild Bunch co-chief Maraval tells Screen International adding that there will be a mix of cast members from the first film with new actors. The plot finds a group of spring breakers taking on extreme militant Christians who attempt to convert them.
Original writer and director Harmony Korine isn't involved in the sequel, and we're not yet sure whether he's given it his blessing. Spun's (2002) Jonas Akerlund will handle directorial chores, with Irvine Welsh (Filth) on script duty. He certainly seems like the right sort of writer for the project.
The rights to the new movie will be sold at Cannes this year.

The online scriptorium of author and pastor Matthew Burden
Reflections on the Christian Life
Note to My Readers: from mid-June to mid-August (6/18 - 8/20), I will be taking a summer break from posting new articles for my Thursday and Friday slots. This will only affect my Thursday series on the global growth of Christianity, and my Friday series, the "Theological Bestiary" of birds, both of which will resume in late August. During the summer, I'll be dusting off some of my best essays from the first few years of this blog (a decade ago), as well as my verse play "Thus Ends the World," and re-posting them in the Thursday and Friday slots. All other weekdays will continue to feature new material throughout the summer.

Quote of the Week
"Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, 'Do it again,' and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, 'Do it again' to the sun; and every evening, 'Do it again' to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we."
- G. K. Chesterton, early 20th-century author and journalist, from his book Orthodoxy

Homesteaders wanting to live in a community in Colorado have been forced to leave the land they purchased. Zoning laws have forced people to leave against their will.
The county says its zoning laws are reasonable, the arriving Homesteaders don't think they are. The conflict has continued for many years and has accumulated a number of followers of the story.
The county has dropped it's planned zoning changes under increased public scrutiny but they have modified current camping permits to be allowed only after an adequate septic tank with leach field has been installed. The camping permit is considered to be temporary for the period during construction.
These people forced off the land in Colorado…

Glyndebourne: Le nozze di Figaro
- Released2012
- Running time230 minutes
This new production of Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro brings together two thrilling artistic talents in director Michael Grandage and Glyndebourne's Music Director-in-waiting, Robin Ticciati.
Rising British soprano Sally Matthews makes her Glyndebourne Festival debut as the Countess alongside Italian baritone Vito Priante in his debut as Figaro.
Live: Since 1934 an interval of 90 minutes has been part of the Glyndebourne experience. Time enough for a three-course meal and a walk through the grounds, it became a tradition long before broadcasting opera to cinema audiences was ever conceived.
For the many people now enjoying opera at the cinema, 30 minutes is a more realistic length of time to take a break. 'Live from Glyndebourne' means that we start our cinema transmissions a little after curtain-up at Glyndebourne and, by the end of the interval, we have caught up, joining Glyndebourne live for the remaining acts and curtain-down.

Mitsubishi Repair Problems? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi Danie,Any time you are going to be seeing behavior like this on the radio where it is changing modes etc, you are really going to be reduced to only the radio itself or the wheel controls being at fault. This is excluding of course if there are unusual variables in play (like aftermarket electronics piggy-backed into the radio wiring etc).I would check your buttons on the wheel and make sure they feel completely normal, particularly in relation to the mode button when compared to the others, making sure there is no evidence it is sticking. If all looks well, double check your radio touch screen that there is no signs of damage or any staining on the screen (certain sticky residues will make contact issues). If nothing outstanding is found, it is likely the radio is failed.For final confirmation you would want to get the vehicle to a dealer that can then monitor the wheel inputs to see if they are operating normally electronically... their scan tool will show on/off operation as the button is pushed which will verify/condemn the switch and wiring up to the radio. If no anomalies are found, the radio will be at fault.
With the radio found faulty, Mitsubishi would take the radio and get an exchange unit for you (They don't replace these radios due to the high cost, rather they send them out for repair). It usually takes up to a week for a replacement to come in once the problem is confirmed by them, then it only takes about a half hour to change it once you return to get it installed.

Miss Amber Beyer
Grade 7
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you to all the students and families that made this year an absolute success! As my first year teaching, I can honestly say that I have never been in a more welcoming and helpful environment. Being with students who are so eager to learn and with parents so dedicated to the school and their children has made me understand fully why I wanted to become an educator in the first place. So once again, I sincerely thank you all and hope you have a wonderful and safe summer vacation!
Incoming 7th graders, I cannot begin to express how excited I am for this upcoming school year. I'm interested to see how you interpret and take in the novels we will be reading. Be sure to check out the supply list and summer reading list here as well.
Also, stay gold this summer. (You'll understand that reference during The Outsiders)
See you in September!
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or text/call me at 7169821434.

Nearly two years ago… and less than a year into Concealed Nation, I somehow convinced GLOCK to send me the G42 before it was officially announced. In the end, I got to showcase a great pistol and Concealed Nation was the first to publish a video and image. Not bad for business. Immediately following the announcement, the response on the newest addition to the GLOCK line was mixed. Really mixed . . .
It went from:
Yesssssss finally a baby-baby pocket GLOCK!
It's not a 9. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. SMH.
As you probably know, many people were hoping for a single stack 9mm. That clearly wasn't the case. Now, we also know that the single stack 9 came out a year later…the GLOCK 43.
Like it or not, many G42's were sold (and continue to sell) and it's become a favorite for thousands of people. Heck, I loved it as soon as I got my hands on it. But where do I stand now, almost two years later?
The first clue is this: The one that GLOCK sent to me had to be sent back to them. Bummer. Shortly after I did that, I went out and bought one. It was the new little brother to my G26 and G27, and they got along very well. Once I got a taste, I had to add it to my collection.
But what was I going to use it for? That was the big question I started to ask myself. Will it just be a range gun? Am I actually going to carry it? Is it going to sit on the castaway shelf in my safe?
The very first thing that I noticed when I picked it up for the first time was how nicely it sat in my hand. That was my biggest concern; that it would be too tiny to get a good grip on it. For me, that wasn't the case. It's a really nice-feeling pistol.
But would I carry it? Would I carry a single stack .380 vs. my G26 or G27? Yea, I did. And I do. For me, it's perfect on a hot day when I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt. It either goes IWB (below) or inside a pocket holster in my right front pocket.
Do I carry it all the time? No, absolutely not. Just like anything else, it has a time and place for usability. If I'm wearing a jacket in the dead of winter, I'll be carrying my G23 instead. Will I also have my G42 in a pocket? Maybe. It depends on the day, really.
It's also a great range gun. Sure sometimes .380 is hard to come by (or waaaaay too expensive), but the G42 is a ton of fun to take to the range for the afternoon and sling some lead. I've had more than a handful of friends pick it up, shoot it, and immediately have their minds changed about what they've heard. They are fans of the smallest GLOCK to date.
It's comfortable, it's slim, it's small. It's reliable. It's a GLOCK. Want to WIN a GLOCK 42? We're giving one away this month! CLICK HERE to enter!
30 Responses to Win a GLOCK 42!
I'll keep my TCP which runs great and actually fits in my pocket. But "if you like your Glock you can keep your Glock"…
"if you like your Glock you can keep your Glock"…
But that is not what Obama is going to say.
That's exactly what he'll say, he just won't mean it.
Male Bovine Excrement! Obama haters will fabricate ANYTHING to scare people. At NO time has President Obama proposed an action to "take" anyone's firearms. Truth, not ravings from a gun-worshiping lunatic.
I am a responsible CCW citizen, loyal to God and Country. I am a former LEO. I first picked up a firearm at age 11. No credible source is calling for confiscation, and no action FROM a credible source has been taken.
There are extremists on the pro-gun and anti-gun ends of things in the debate. They must be summarily dismissed as non-credible. As reasonable moderates from both sides convene, in civil fashion, surely recommendations for reasonable firearm control will be the product.
+1 for the Alien Gear holster. Great simple design.
Hmm, I've always thought that the 42 only exists to make money. The 43 was released a year later because its the gun everybody wanted. If they had been released in the opposite order, the 42 would have flopped.
Brilliant marketing, Glock. I am glad a tiny Glock .380 exists but I think the vast majority of shooters would be better served by the 43.
I gave my wife a G42 as a gift. She loves it and would never carry my G26 or anything larger. better to have a .380 than nothing (she didn't like the SigP238 I bought earlier).
To each their own; I purchased a G42 just two days ago, actually. For me, I wanted something small enough to pocket carry in dress pants, as well as something with softer recoil to use as an introductory pistol for newcomers. (I let my sister shoot my G19 and she said it hurt her hands after 50 rounds, so I didn't think the G43 would be any good for her. She did quite well with accuracy, though.)
.380 sells in a lot of foreign markets where 9mm is considered a military weapon and not available to private citizens.
Better note this article is from Brandon at Concealed Nation and not from Zim.
When I've ended up at concealed nations website, they wont let me enter unless I give them access to my address book. Nope. Too expensive for a free contest, IMHO.
The advantage of a larger 380 is they are easy to hit with. In the 80s, a friend carried a Beretta 84. The 84 is still a great gun. The Walther PK380 and Ruger LC380 are also easy to shoot well. I often recommend newbys getting one of these after they speak of recoil and blast of a nine. Better to hit accurately with a 380 than miss with a nine.
Some graduate to a nine or bigger after getting more experience. Some keep toting the one they started on.
I have an 84 and like it-but that recoil spring is something. . .
I guess the Italians have a third hand for reassembly.
The blast and recoil of a 9? If you can't handle a 9 you are either too young to carry or old and decrepit.
From seeing lots of younger folks shoot, I'd say many haven't mastered the recoil and blast of a nine. A new shooter is often intimidated by the blast of round igniting. Their reaction is "like" recoil but it is not from the actual recoil impulse of the pistol. It takes a decent amount of practice to get to the point of ignoring the blast. Quieter cartridges with a lower recoil impulse are the easiest way to get that training. Probably why the 38 special is still popular with a lot of shooters. Target loads are quieter and seem to produce markedly less recoil.
I personally haven't fired any nine that I thought had excessive recoil. That distinction goes to snub 357s with serious ammo.
The most painful pistol I ever shot was a Ruger LCP .380. If the mass of the gun isn't proportional to the power of the cartridge, the recoil gets real snappy, real quick.
If someone complains about the recoil of a 9mm, a smaller .380 is not the solution. The solution is a larger 9mm.
I carry an LCP every day. ( My SR9 won't fit in my pocket. ) I don't consider it painful but everyone's hand is different. If I shoot more than 100 rounds my hand gets tired from the tiny grip.
I have one. Like the author, it's my hot weather/slim shorts gun. I have had two problems, but both are my fault.
1) With the grip being narrower than any other pistol I have owned or shot, it's very easy to sling shots low and left if proper trigger finger placement and pull are not observed.
2) If I grip it too tightly, sometimes the slide fails to lock back after the last shot. If I don't grip it like I'm trying to kill it, it has no problems. My wife has never had the fail to lock problem.
It has eaten every bit of .380 I have fed it and it's boring to shoot, which is a good thing. I think Glock was aiming to make it boring, because it's a good balance between size and recoil.
It's ugly. It's overpriced. Its wannabe cop fanboys are obnoxiously arrogant. It's a GLOCK.
so you don't have a gun,,,,,,? why hate a glock….it goes bang every time you pull the trigger…..seems like that what its supposed to do…..
I don't own one, but otherwise this article pretty well sums up my feelings about the gun from the handful of times I have gotten to shoot one.
If I will ever get one depends a lot on whether I decide I want a low profile diminutive sized pocket gun or whether I just figure out how to EDC a fullsize-ish Glock 19 sized gun. Still undecided, but the G42 is a neat little gun.
Brandon gets it. Pocket pistols and subcompact are not primary carry guns. They are New York Reloads or for carry when you have clothing constraints.
Good review. I passed on the G42 in the hope based on rumors that a single-stack 9 would follow. It did, and I love my G43. Though I can see a use for the G42 for many people, the G43 has made it irrelevant to me. 3 weeks after buying it, I even sold my faithful Kel-Tec P3AT. A .380 is not a bad defensive caliber, but if I can have a sweet-recoiling 9 in virtually the same size, no contest.
But it's a Glock…? I guess… I would take it for free.
There would be no point in entering. The gun is not on the roster in California, and the single shot exemption has been eliminated, so I could never take possession.
Living in Chicago, I thought the gun laws here were restrictive. I have always thought about moving to California to live to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine. But this gun roster business is oppressive stateism. While Chicago makes it tough to be a gun owner, I can own any handgun I want. It is hard to imagine wondering every time I touch a gun "will my government allow me to have this Glock?"
Chicago (and Illinois) gun laws aren't nearly as oppressive as they used to be.
You can thank Otis McDonald, Michael Moore (no, not THAT Michael Moore), Alan Gura and the Second Amendment Foundation for that.
Brandon didn't mention that the gun pictured has a Pierce grip extension on the magazine. Those things can make a little gun a lot more shootable, but they also make pocket carry more difficult.
I already have a 42 and like it a lot, so I would not mind adding another one, if the price was more reasonable than "become food for a spam machine".
My wife and I just left a gun shop, as part of exhaustive quest for just the right self-defense weapon for her (NOTE: she is new to the concept of self-defense, and I am grateful she's opened herself up to reality).
After firing numerous semi-autos and wheel guns, she's decided on the Glock 42. This decision was made after consulting with, and shooting under tutelage of 5 – count 'em – 5 individual instructors. Took 5 weeks for this decision to be made, and I am confident that SHE is confident in her choice.
NOTE: cost was NOT a determining factor in her selection, and she is the Secretary of the Treasury in our house!

Iraqi Trade Minister Mohammed Mahdi Saleh said in Cairo that Baghdad had prepared its military and had enough food stocks to face a US military attack, even though it would prefer to avoid a conflict.
"We are ready, on both the military level and level of food supplies, to confront any American attack," Saleh said on arriving in Cairo to meet with Egyptian and other Arab officials.
Earlier Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan voiced Iraq's defiance.
"US threats do not scare the Iraqi people, they consolidate their cohesion and determination," Ramadan said during a meeting late yesterday with Kurdish officials loyal to Saddam's regime.
Powell said Bush would act as he saw fit regardless of how his address to the United Nations General Assembly this week was received.
Bush is to address the world body in New York on Thursday following weeks of international debate about whether the United States should strike Iraq alone, with many allies opposing unilateral US action.
"We're putting the cards on the table for our friends and allies. This is the time to deal with the problem that's been there for years... and the United States, often accused of being unilateral, is now bringing the problem back to its original source, the United Nations," Powell said.
Powell declined to elaborate on what Bush would tell the assembly, saying only that the president would underline Iraq's repeated violations of UN resolutions.
"The United Nations should feel offended. The United Nations should feel that something should be done," he said.
After three hours of talks with Bush at the Camp David presidential retreat, Blair said he was confident that international support for an attack on Iraq would follow once evidence of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was produced.
"People should have confidence that we will approach this issue in a sensible and measured way," said Blair.
"We did so in respect of Afghanistan; we did so earlier in respect of Kosovo, and we will do so again and... we will do it on the basis of the broadest possible international support."
"The Iraqi regime has chemical, biological and nuclear potential. It's important for us that we deal with it as swiftly as we possibly can now," he added.
In Iraq, a former UN arms inspector, Scott Ritter, who is critical of Washington's threats against the country, addressed parliament.
He called for an "honest broker mechanism" which would allow both an immediate resumption of weapons inspections and compliance with Security Council resolutions.
The mechanism foresaw the inspectors' "unconditional return and yet provides assurances to Iraq that unfettered access would only be applied to disarmament issues and not be used to infringe upon Iraq's sovereignty, dignity and national security", Ritter said.
Meanwhile, opposition to the United States taking unilateral action continued to mount.
Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said a US military strike against Iraq would cause "irreparable damage" to the international campaign against terrorism, RIA-Novosti news agency reported.
EU high representative for foreign policy Javier Solana called for a UN framework for any action on Iraq.
"We, Europeans, believe that it is the path of the United Nations that must be taken," he told Spain's El Pais newspaper.
"Iraq is in breach of nine Security Council resolutions and 24 recommendations... we cannot overlook that, or the danger that weapons of mass destruction could fall into the hands of terrorists."

Bus driver attack boxer trained at Kinahan gym but is pal of The Monk
A FORMER professional boxer who pleaded guilty this week to breaking a bus driver's nose was a close pal of gangland murder victims Gary and Gareth Hutch, who were killed in the Kinahan-Hutch feud.
However, Anthony Fitzgerald (32), who was at the Regency Hotel boxing weigh-in when gangster David Byrne was shot dead, had been training at Daniel Kinahan's MGM gym before the bloody Hutch/Kinahan feud erupted.
Fitzgerald, who has no involvement in organised crime, fled from the Regency Hotel with family members in the aftermath of the gun attack.
Within days of the shocking incident, Fitzgerald – who was known in the ring as 'Pride of Dublin' – announced his retirement from boxing.
He would later be a prominent mourner at the funerals off feud victims Eddie Hutch Snr and Gareth Hutch.
It later emerged that father-of-two Fitzgerald was a co-owner of the Sunset House pub in Summerhill, which was the location where another feud victim –dissident Republican Michael Barr – was shot dead in April.
It is understood that Fitzgerald is a cousin of slain Gary Hutch, whose murder last September sparked the capital's deadly gang feud which has now claimed nine lives. He has also been on friendly terms with on the-run senior crime figure Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch.
In fact, Fitzgerald learned to box at The Monk's gym in Dublin's north inner city.
Fitzgerald, who is from Gloucester Place in the capital's north inner city, has 31 previous convictions including assault, criminal damage and two firearms and offensive weapons offences.
He has 23 road traffic offence convictions and was disqualified from driving for 10 years.
He appeared before Dublin Circuit Court on Wednesday where he pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Toufik Slali on North Circular Road, on November 18, 2014.
The victim was driving to a school when a Mini pulled out in front of him with no signal, Garda Robert Tomkin told the court.
The bus driver had to brake hard and beeped his horn.
Fitzgerald jumped out from the driver's side of the car and started shouting that his children were in the car.
When the driver didn't respond the accused got on to the bus and told Mr Slali: "You f ***ing foreigner, talk to me when I speak to you."
The victim said that Fitzgerald then head butted him on the nose and he fell back into a seat.
The victim said that Fitzgerald then punched him.
Paul Comiskey O'Keeffe BL, defending, said his client disputed this version of events.
He said Fitzgerald denied head butting or punching him but admitted striking the victim with an open hand.
Judge Melanie Greally said the use of the palm to administer a blow was of a different degree than it would be if Fitzgerald were not a professional boxer.
She said given this fact, whether he inflicted the injuries using his hand or a head-butt would have little effect on her sentence.
She said she would impose sentence next November.
The victim experienced ongoing dizziness, blurred vision and headaches after the attack.
A fracture of his nasal bone was fixed in surgery.
Mr O'Keeffe said Fitzgerald told gardai that he saw something in the victim's hand and believed he was going to hit him so he attacked first.
Fitzgerald was a popular boxer and during his seven-year career, he had a record of 18 wins and eight losses.
He went the distance with former world champions Andy Lee and Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam in 2013.
Fitzgerald won the Irish title, the World Boxing Federation Intercontinental title and the now-extinct European Boxing Association title during his career.
His last fight was a loss on points to Adam Jones at Villa Park in Birmingham.

Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs treats her role as rock star like a child giddy and hypnotized at a toy box.
She extends the microphone away from her body and sweepingly presents it to the audience like a magical object she found buried in the garden. Microphone, oh, oh! Smile extending across her lips.
She arrived Saturday night donning a flowing palm-print headdress, with fluorescent colors wildly expelling from high above her head to the floor. She removed it with dramatic relish and showed off her pretty tights.
Karen O dances with no regard for what dancing or choreography looks like.
"We weren't even supposed to be here!" she explained to a crowd that knew all too well that the group was the last minute addition to the Lollapalooza schedule, after the Beastie Boys canceled due to Adam "MCA" Yauch's health issues.
The show wasn't without its missteps. One was forgivable – some tech misfire made for an awkward restart of "Hysteric." The other? Miss O forgot her own lyrics to the band's biggest hit, "Maps," even when played at tonight's super-slow tempo. The crowd made up for it and Karen, of course, just giggled a lot.
Meanwhile, our spies across the park reported that Tool put on a show fairly comparable to its visual-heavy set at All Points West, with dark projections and videos by guitarist Adam Jones. Also, front-freak Maynard Keenan stripped to his tighty whities – or rather, black boxers – and declared the mucky hot day to be a clothing-optional night.
The proggy hard rock band finished off with no encore but apparently melted off what was left to be melted of its fans' minds with "Vicarious."
Ben Harper had a good day with his still-new backing band Relentless 7 (three of them, really) and stuck with newer, hard-rocking material from his latest "White Lies For Dark Times." Harper was mainly stone-faced, while watching his drummer was like witnessing a wild cat devour prey – impossible to look away, savage.
TV On The Radio featured Tunde Adibempe in full-gospel mode, complete with a white button-down, with the volume increased by an impressive horn section. Kyp Malone's facial hair and Afro continues to shows no bounds.
Santigold stole the afternoon, with stoic backup /singers dancers, wearing and one of the ugliest and grooviest jumpsuits in history. She's a giving and electrifying performer, stepping to the edge of the stage and beaming during hot tracks like "Starstruck." We think we saw GZA in the wings.
The fans were most lively further in the middle of the Grant Park, bouncing to Animal Collective after the sun mercifully descended. They were noisy and put on a nice light show.
Lykke Li yet again covered Kings Of Leon's "Knocked Up." But she didn't leave it at that. Ever wonder what it's like to hear a petite Swedish woman perform Lil Wane's "A Milli?" Check YouTube in the morning.

I figured I'd go ahead and post the last chapter. Please enjoy!
True Love is Blind-Chapter 4
"I wanna go with you," Jake pleaded. I was already at the door with my coat on and Beth was right behind me.
"No, you're too weak," I answered.
"You're letting her go with you." Jake gestured toward Beth and Beth turned to me.
"I would try to stop her, but I know it would be useless," I answered. A satisfied grin came over Beth's lovely face.
"Come on Mr. St. John…I want to kill this guy for taking my Emily from me," said Jake sadly. "Emily was my everything. Believe me I'm strong enough!"
I sighed. "Listen I want to let you go with me, but I'm not going to let you die too. Plus I don't think Emily would want you dead." Then I slipped out the door before he had time to argue with me.
"I've already text Sam to find out Thomas's address," said Beth. We both stepped into the elevator. I was in a hurry and she was having trouble keeping up with me. "Do you really think Thomas could have killed my sister?" she asked.
"Well he's the only suspect we have for the moment," I answered. With my peripheral vision I could tell she was still glaring at me. After the talk in the car earlier I had kind of been giving her the cold shoulder. Hopefully her need to find her sister's killer would keep her off my back.
The elevator door opened and the both of us rushed out to the car. This was beginning to get old, but with any luck we wouldn't have to go anywhere else. Beth's phone rang with a text from Sam as we got into the car. "Awesome it's not too far," she exclaimed pointing in the direction I needed to go.
Both of us were silent for a moment. "You know I'm surprised at how well you've been taking your sister's death," I mentioned not even taking a moment to glance at her.
"Well we've got work to do. I've got to focus on the job at hand before I can mourn her death," explained Beth.
"Still she was your sister, and you have hardly cried."
"Believe me I've cried my fare share, but it's hard for me to be sad when my heart's filled with too much hate. I can't cry and do nothing while her killer is out there. I told you I really want to be Emily's hero for once. "Wow was the only word that came to my mind from her response. I knew Beth was a strong woman, but even I couldn't have expected those words from her mouth.
With a smile, I turned to her. She was staring out her window, but I could tell she was fighting to ignore me. "You're a strong woman Beth."
"No, I've just got to be a strong woman sometimes." Still she did not look at me.
Thomas South's house was a complete dump. Everything was a mess…the yard, the sidewalk, and the house didn't even look livable. Half the shingles on the roof were missing, the windows were broken, wood was falling of the house everywhere. Plus there was a horrible stench coming from the place. "Do you think he's home?" Beth asked as we reached the door. I could hear a heartbeat coming from the place, but there were no footsteps or noises. Something was wrong, terribly wrong.
"Stand back Beth." I took the gun out of my jeans and held it up, ready to shoot. The paint chipped front door was cracked a little bit, but then I noticed on the doorknob something that frightened even me. There was a small gold locket hanging around the doorknob. "He planned this," I muttered.
Slowly, I pushed opened the door. Immediately the smell of blood became evident, it was stale blood mixed with a horrible stench. There was a dead body in this house and it had been dead for awhile. The inside of the house was completely dark and I scanned the nearby wall with my hands looking for a light switch. Finally I found one and turned the lights on. Inside the house looked slightly livable, but it still was an awful place to live. Quietly, I turned to Beth and motioned for her to be quiet. She nodded and we both ventured further into the house.
The first room was the living room which appeared normal, and then there was the dining room which seemed fine as well. As we got closer to the kitchen, however, the smell of blood became stronger. We entered the kitchen slowly to find blood scattered all over the cracked tiles, and there was bloody water in the old sink. I noticed that the knife holder was missing its biggest knife. Behind me I heard Beth gasp, but she remained silent for the most part.
Before us was a long hallway with two doors on both sides. The sound of the heartbeat got louder as we came closer to the hallway. I fumbled for a light switch, but it had been broken. Beth and I would have to go down the hallway in the dark. Slowly, I put my ear to the first door. There was no heartbeat.
I put my ear up to the second door. Inside the room, the sound of the heat pounded like crazy, and I could hear the soft breathing of a man. He had to know I was outside the door. I went into my vampire form to help me see in the dark and very slowly I put my hand to the knob. Ready to fight, I threw open the door. There was a sharp pain in my chest and I realized the a$$hole had staked me. He had been waiting for me to open the door.
I fell against the wall, paralyzed. In pain, I looked up to see a young man holding a gun to Beth's head. The blood in my body surged threw my veins in fear for the woman I loved. "Ok you two were not what I was expecting," the man gasped. He looked like a complete nerd. His brown and vicious eyes were covered by a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, and his pale skin was covered with pimples. The boy seemed scared, but I knew he knew he was too deep in to stop.
The boy led Beth into the room that he had just come from which was straight ahead of me. Now I could see two pairs of bloody hands inside the room. Thomas followed my eyes, which were the only part of me that could move, and noticed what I was looking at. "That would be my parents…Lets just say they didn't share in my dream so I took them out of my way."
"What exactly are your sick dreams?" Beth asked with bitter hatred in her voice. They were standing right in front of me. He had his arms around her neck with the gun still to her head. Yet I could not even since her heart rate rising. She seemed completely calm.
"You sound just like her," hissed Thomas. "You must be Beth."
"Yep…Emily's sister, and just to let you know I'm really pissed off at you," she snarled right back. If I wasn't in so much pain and so scared for her I probably would have been proud.
"You need to keep your mouth shut…" he pushed the gun harder against her head. "Or you might just lose that pretty little mouth of yours."
"Just tell me one thing…why did you kill her? I thought you loved her…why would you hurt the woman you love so bad?" Beth questioned, still without fear.
"I wanted to break her heart just like she broke mine," he whispered in her ear with sadness and anger. So that was why he cut a heart into her chest.
"So you're a weak and pathetic loser who can't take a little heart break. How sad. Do you know how many people have their hearts broken everyday? You don't see them going on a killing rampage!" Every part of me that still had feeling ached in fear; I hoped she had a plan.
"Shut up before I blow your head off!" he yelled
"Not today jerk off!" Then she pulled something out from her pocket and stabbed Thomas in the leg. I realized that I had not gotten back the knife I had given her earlier. Thomas fell to the ground in pain. Beth tried to get away, but he grabbed her foot and she fell to the ground as well.
"You btch!" Thomas screamed. I wanted to help her so much, but I couldn't move an inch. Beth kicked him the head and crawled to me and tried to pull the stake out. Thomas quickly got to his feet and held the gun at her. Then something pushed Thomas to the floor, and Jake was on top of him biting his neck. Thomas fought and fought to get away but he was no match for Jake's strength. Soon Thomas's body went limp.
Jake turned and looked up at us. His face was covered with blood. Beth let out a deep breath and pulled the stake out. I gasped when the pain was gone and I regained movement.
Beth helped me to my feet. "Are you ok?" she asked examining the wound on my chest. It had already healed.
"Am I ok? You're the one that just wrestled with a killer," I said.
"I told you I was angry," replied Beth.
"He didn't hurt you did he?" I asked.
"No, I'm fine," she replied.
"Told you I was strong enough," commented Jake as he came to us.
"How did you get in?" I asked him.
"I followed you after you left and slipped in quietly through the window when he staked you," explained Jake. "So what happened?"
"He must have thought Mick was you," said Beth. "He had her locket hanging on the door as if he were planning for you to come."
Jake turned to the limp body of Thomas on the floor. "He sure was a sick man," Jake told us. All three of us stepped slowly into the room. Beth gasped. Not only were there three bloody bodies on the floor, but the room was covered in pictures of Emily. There were even pictures of her inside her room taken from outside the window…pictures of her taken from everywhere. This Thomas South was clearly obsessed with her.
"I can't believe he did this to her," Beth whispered. I pulled her into a hug.
"Let's just call the police and get out of here," I suggested as I led Beth out of the room.
So we called the police and left. They said they'd let us answer questions in the morning. Which I was grateful for seeing as I didn't know how we were going to explain how Thomas died, and I really wanted to get some sleep. The sun was now rising bringing the horrible heat with it.
We dropped Jake off at a hotel and then I drove Beth home.
"Thanks for everything. Hopefully my mom can actually sleep at night now knowing the killer is dead," said Beth. She was fiddling with her keys outside the door. I wonder if she knew how much I wanted to kiss her right there and how much I wanted her to be mine. She opened her mouth as if she were going to say something, but then sighed and said, "Goodbye Mick." Then she kissed me on the cheek and went inside and closed the door.
My heart sunk when she left. I wanted to spend every moment with her, and every moment without her seemed unbearable. Surprisingly her door opened again. "Oh screw it," she murmured as she grabbed my collar and pulled me into a passionate kiss. At first I fought it and then gave in to what my heart wanted.
When we were finished she was looking up at me with her big blue eyes. "What was that?" I asked, stunned.
"Well if my sister can be in love with a vampire…why can't I? There aren't any excuses anymore. If my sister and Jake can do it…so can we," she explained.
I searched for a reply. I knew that we shouldn't be together…that it was wrong, but I was in love with her, truly in love with her. Every bit of my mind knew it was wrong and dangerous to love her. Vampires and humans weren't meant to be together, but I guess when you're in love you don't think with your mind but with your heart. You don't care about what a person looks like or what a person is. I guess true love…well I guess true love is blind.
