Would you carry a g29 10mm??

[wildwilderness]

I literally never knew this about 10mm. Not a huge .40 fan, but a really useful piece of information.

You can research it yourself, from what I have found it’s only safe in a Glock, due to how it holds the round.

some will naysay it, as anything off label, but I’ve read where competition shooters have done thousands of round with no problems.

Yes absolutely. However, I prefer the g20. I have three g20s.

I never tried it, I’ve known about it for years though and I don’t believe I’ve ever ready any horror stories about it.

I have shot 100s of 40 sw rounds in both the G20 and G29 with no issues

I just never had the need, I can press out a bunch of 10mm rounds in a few hours and have plenty of practice Ammo.

I have the G29 in the SF version. Get the pinky extenders on the mags. Rides in a Kenai chest holster under my bino harness and I don't even feel it there.

RE: G29 SF- And even kids can use it too!

(This was how me and the boy spent my Father's Day!!)

To answer the OP’s question, YES! And I have.

I picked up a G29, as I wanted to compare it to my G20. I found it to be pretty stubby and harder to shoot than my 20. On top of it, I didn’t really notice the extra weight and size of the 20 that much, so I sold the 29.

Both the G20 and G29 are a good compromise in power vs. compactness IMO. I've been carrying a G29 when I carry in the backcountry for the last several years....downsized from a 454 Ruger Alaskan. It was just too heavy and bulky for me for that use (although a really cool and fun to shoot revolver!).

 

[TheGDog]

I shaved almost 1/2 Lbs off by switching to the G29 from my Ruger Security Six 4" .357

I run G29's, but i slap in a threaded KKM barrel. It adds a half inch for a smidgen more velocity, and a lot better accuracy. An aluminum muzzle brake really helps muzzle control on big compacts, without a big weight penalty. Like mentioned before, the Pearce grip extension (pinky grip) is a no-brainer add-on. I've run a longer barrel, but much prefer the muzzle brake.

I think the 29 is a great option. I went with the 20 because I don’t mind carrying larger guns most of the time. I did upgrade the barrel to a KKM due to the lack of case support in the OEM barrel causing brass life issues.

 

[TheGDog]

How much louder did the G29 become when you added that barrel with porting?

 

[Where's Bruce?]

I carry daily, usually a G22 and when looking at 10mm Glocks had the chance to shoot them all. My accuracy with the G40 MOS was demonstratively better and I decided to go that route thinking, if a Yogi is coming at me, accuracy is the most important thing. Gotta hit the central nervous system. So I put my S&W 329PD in the safe and carry the Glock 40 now. I will pay the weight penalty. Really like the Deltapoint 2 optic with co-witnessed Hawkins suppressor sites.

Not much more obnoxious than a standard barrel. All those little hand cannons are ear busters!
