Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Glock 29

Or a 23, but they're a little more difficult to find for a good deal.

Buy what you want, only you will know if you like it.


If you do buy one, you’ll have a Lego building block starter kit.😆. You can convert it to 40 cal, 357 Sig and probably some other stuff.

It is hard to explain but larger size of G22 robs of versitility and practicality. Basically other then range use within reason bigger just sucks for carry purposes. That is why something like G19/G23 are more in demand. This is about the largest handgun that can be carried on regular bases. Obviously something like G43x will sell even faster.

I had a G20 1st. Bought the 29 and found it to be just as accurate and I can use larger G20 magazines in it if I need more ammo or a better grip. They look and feel better with a mag sleeve, but it isn't necessary. I liked the versatility of having the smaller gun with 10 round mags and longer 15 round mags so I sold the G20.

There is only 3/4" difference in barrel length and sight radius which adds nothing to accuracy or velocity. It's not like the difference between a 3" barreled revolver and a 6" barreled revolver. That 3" can make a difference.

I used both of those as camping/hiking guns so the smaller size mattered to me. Of course, I could, and did make the G20 work. But I could never get comfortable with keeping them in a sleeping bag with a loaded chamber at night.

When Smith came out with the M&P in a 4" compact 10mm pistol with the option of a 1911 style manual safety I bought one. They split the difference in size between the G20 and G29. I like 10mm, but it fills a specific role for me. I don't shoot it enough to justify 2 guns in 10mm so I sold the Glock. The safety lever on the Smith being the only reason.

I’ve carried a pistol concealed every day since 1985. I have a Glock 30SF (same size as a G29 only in 45acp). It’s a little thick for me for summer carry. I find myself carrying my Glock 43 with Shield Arms 9 round magazines most if the time. If you have the chance of running into a hog or bear on a regular basis, the G29 makes sense. If I need something with a little more horsepower, I carry my G27 in .40 S&W.

Glock 43 for the warm months of the year, Glock 27 for colder winter months. No on to other issues in my life!

I will wager that if you buy the G29... you will be reselling it within a year.

That is a known phenomenon with the Glock 27. Likely even more common with the Glock 29.

If you reload, the G20 makes some sense. Especially if you hunt. A Kanai chest holster makes sense. I am afraid that before I bought a G29 I would consider a used G23 loaded with hardcast bullets.

I bought a Lone Wolf barrel for my G27, and some X-Grips to slide over G23 magazines so they fit flush. I have to admit that 2 rounds of CCI snake shot followed by 12 rounds of Underwood 200 grain Hard cast flat nose at 950fps are pretty comforting in the woods of southeastern Ohio.

My woods carry set up.

I do believe the Glock 29 packs more ftlbs per ounce of any easily carryable handgun out there, so it is much more fun at the range than a Glock 19.

But…. I’m faster and more accurate with a Glock 19, might not be as entertaining to defend myself with it tho….

The XGrip works well when using G20 mags in a G29. My G29 is every bit as accurate and reliable as my G20. I prefer the G29 to the G20 for carry.

I like that.

Didn't pack my 10mm today.

Only threats down here in the jungle are mountain lions, rabid coyote or skunk and the distinct possibility of getting charged by a pack of coons.

I do the same with G21 magazines in my G30SF. I have a Gen 3 G20, but no G29….yet! 😂

Ron

A proper pistol.

Good buy, Sam.
