The Glock 25 is kind of an oddball. It's unusually large for a .380, being the same size as the Glock 19 (9mm) and and Glock 23 (.40S&W) pistols, so I don't know of any guns that are highly similar.
The Diamondback DB380 has a very Glock-like look in a smaller package if that's what you're after.
If you want maximum concealability look at the Kel-Tec P-3AT, Ruger LCP, and S&W Bodyguard 380 which are all similar in size and design. These are all relatively new guns, while the Glock 25 uses the same well-proven design as all Glocks.
If you're looking for similar form-factor you could look at any of the M&Ps, XDMs or other large handguns in 9mm or .40.
If you're interested in guns with similarly long track records you could look at the Bersa Thunder, Beretta Cheetah, the Walther PPK, or the CZ 83. (I'm not saying they have equally good track records, just that they're long enough that you can judge for your self)
