I am considering buying a 10mm for self defense, and one than caught my eye was the Glock 29 subcompact handgun... I was wondering if anyone has had any experiance, good or bad, with it? Thanks for the input, but I have a pretty extensive experiance with guns of all types... I am mostly looking for someone who has specific experiance with the Glock 29... mainly its concealability and its dependability. I have what may be a misconception that compact firearms have more problems associated with them.

Altho i dont own a G29 I have shot more than my fair share of them. With a magazine extender my little finger doesn't go under the magazine, it rests on the grip like it should, if you have large hands I would recommend you get magazine extenders. There's several aftermarket recoil buffers, I recommend one of those too, the plunger style seems to work the best.Crimson Trace makes a great, grip mounted laser for these pistols, for a defensive weapon you can't beat the Crimson trace for super fast target acquisition. You may want to augment the Crimson Trace with some aftermarket night sights(Mepro-lites, Trijicon etcetc).The G29's I've shot have ALL had heavy recoil, regardless of the grain weight of the bullet, hence the reason to install a plunger recoil buffer. At 25 yards they all shoot in the black, one I shot had an aftermarket barrel, I think it was a Lone wolf, regardless, it cost less than 100 dollars and needed no fitting, at 25 yards it shot about 2moa using a rest, at 50 yards shooting offhand it gave all shots in the black. I know it sounds like you have to do a lot of aftermarket upgrades on the G29 to make them shoot good, this isn't really the case, one right out of the box will serve you just fine as a defensive weapon, the upgrades simply make it the perfect defensive pistol.

yes i have had experience with shooting guns and being shot with a bullet proof vest. and believe me, it is EXTREMELY loud for being just a handgun. in the movies they are fake shots that use firecrackers in old ones. but gunshots are very very very loud. a higher calibre gun will be extreme loud (ex. m4a1 or a high end rifle) all guns are built well. there is no "bad" gun. all guns can kill too. the only that can get wrong is overheating or jamming. but this won't happen with a handgun. only in rifles.

I have had experience with other models of the Glock line. They are well built handguns that can take a beating and still fire.

Glocks are good handguns, provided you're comfortable carrying a firearm with no safety levers apart from that lever in the middle of the trigger, and a very light DAO trigger pull. Mind you, I'm not entirely convinced at the utility of the 10mm Auto as a self-defense cartridge. There isn't quite the selection of bullets and loads as there is for its derivative, the .40 S&W (a casual search reveals only Federal, Winchester, PMC, and COR-BON offer loads for 10mm Auto. Of those, the Federal and PMC loads are little better than the .40S&W using identical bullet weights, and the WInchester and COR-BON loads tend to split the difference between .357 Magnum and .41 Magnum loads.) Out of something as compact as a Glock 29, this is going to translate into substantial blast and recoil. If you're considering the Glock 29, you might want to have a closer look at the Glock 27, which is Glock's subcompact chambered in .40 S&W. You have a greater variety of self-defense loads available, and they'd be much more manageable than 10mm loads.

At one time I owned 4 Glocks, 1-G23, 2-G35s and 1-G20. I sold the G20 (10mm) to a good friend for more then one reason, grip was to big for my palm and I like my S&W 1076 (FBI issue) 10mm much better. Lifetime member of GSSF.
