Rapid Release Trigger-Guard Lock – Secure & Intuitive
The defining feature of the Bulldog Rapid Release series is the active trigger-guard lock:
When you holster your Glock 42, it clicks into place as the mechanism locks onto the trigger guard, holding the pistol firmly.
To draw, you press the ergonomically placed release button as you establish your firing grip, then pull straight up and out.
This adds a layer of weapon retention beyond friction fit alone, helping protect against accidental dislodging or casual grabs.
With consistent practice, the release becomes a natural part of your draw stroke, allowing you to keep the gun secure when holstered and fast when it counts.
Paddle-Style OWB – Comfortable & Easy to Remove
Instead of traditional belt loops, the RR-G42 uses a paddle attachment:
The paddle slips inside your waistband, while the holster body rides outside, hooking over your belt or waistband.
This lets you put it on or take it off quickly without unthreading your belt – perfect for:
The paddle’s broad footprint helps distribute the weight of the slim Glock 42, making it comfortable enough for extended wear while still staying stable on the belt.
Glock 42-Specific Fit – Slim, Low-Profile Carry
This model is specifically molded for the Glock 42:
The slim single-stack profile of the 42 is matched closely by the holster’s internal contour, giving a secure, rattle-free fit.
The compact dimensions of both the pistol and holster make OWB carry easier to conceal under light cover garments like:
If you love the Glock 42 for its tiny footprint and easy concealability, the RR-G42 complements it with a holster that stays just as compact and unobtrusive.
Durable Polymer Construction – Lightweight & Tough
The Bulldog RR-G42 is built from rigid molded polymer designed to handle real-world use:
Lightweight so your belt setup stays comfortable, even for all-day carry.
Impact and abrasion resistant, capable of withstanding knocks, scrapes, and the wear of regular training.
Maintains its shape for consistent reholstering and proper operation of the rapid release lock.
This makes it an excellent choice for daily concealed carry, frequent practice sessions, and home-defense setups where reliability matters.
Ideal Uses – Where the Bulldog RR-G42 Shines
This holster is an excellent match for Glock 42 owners who want:
Concealed Carry with a Cover Garment: OWB carry with a micro pistol like the G42 can conceal very well under a simple t-shirt or light jacket.
Range & Training Use: Active retention plus an easy draw is perfect for learning and refining your draw stroke from an OWB holster.
Home-Defense Belt Setup: Keep your Glock 42 holstered on a dedicated belt for quick deployment around the house.
Off-Duty / Low-Profile Carry: Plainclothes professionals and civilians can carry a Glock 42 in a secure, professional-looking rig.
The RR-G42 gives you a secure, user-friendly holster that matches the G42’s role as a compact, defensive pistol.
Safety & Training Considerations
Because this holster uses a trigger-guard-based retention system, proper training is critical:
Practice slow, deliberate draw strokes at first, ensuring your finger stays well away from the trigger until the pistol is fully clear and on target.
Build muscle memory so that operating the release button becomes part of a smooth, safe grip, not a separate, rushed motion.
Regularly inspect the holster for cracks, deformities, or excessive wear, especially around the locking mechanism and paddle.
Used correctly, the Rapid Release system offers both security and speed, but like any retention holster, it demands good technique and repetition.
Care & Maintenance
To keep your Bulldog RR-G42 in great shape:
Wipe it down periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, sweat, and dirt.
Avoid powerful chemical solvents that can degrade polymer materials.
Check any screws/fasteners (if present) occasionally to ensure they stay tight and secure.
Proper upkeep helps maintain smooth locking and unlocking of the retention mechanism and extends holster life.
