Overview
The DeSantis Nemesis is the default soft-shell pocket holster for the Glock 42 because it is cheap, ships immediately, and the foam-core construction breaks up the printable gun outline through pants and shorts pockets. The tacky outer texture grips the inside of the pocket so the gun draws clean while the holster stays put, and the slick inner liner protects the slide finish. The N38BJY8Z0 SKU is cut specifically for the G42 footprint, not a generic small-frame catch-all.
Pocket-only by design. The Nemesis is not built for IWB or belt carry, and the soft foam shell does not protect the trigger as positively as a kydex pocket holster like the Vedder Pocket Locker. For G42 owners who want maximum retention and audible re-holster click, the kydex pick is the upgrade. For maximum value and immediate availability, the Nemesis is the answer.
