Perhaps no gun color has caught on with the buying public quite like Flat Dark Earth (FDE.) FDE, and all of the other shades of brown currently being offered in the industry, have proved to be quite popular with many shooters. It is no surprise that firearms distributor Lipsey’s is now offering an FDE version of the Glock 42 to its dealers.

Lipsey’s already offers many Glock pistols with FDE frames. Some of these pistols have black slides, while others brown. The G42 being made has a flat dark earth frame with the standard black slide.

The frames are molded by Glock in this color, so unlike some aftermarket finishing options, the color will not chip off.

All other technical details about the gun are the same with a standard Glock 42 pistol: caliber, capacity, weight, etc. The suggested retail price of the FDE frame guns is $480.
