Well personally I do not even know what a Glock 29 is, so I am well qualified to make a recommendation for you.I am looking for some feedback on a Glock 29 for a EDC.

BullseyeI think he's wondering if 10mm used in a defensive situation would be portrayed excessive by a prosecutor.
It really shouldn't matter. 357 mag, 45acp, 44mag, etc.
If you're right, you're right. If you go as far as to be prosecuted, I expect they'd run every imagined excessive scenario - firearm caliber being only one thing that they'd try to bleat over.
I'd think the g29 would be a fine carry weapon if you don't worry about concealment. That thing is a chunk. But I love it.
Really I do not see it being an issue. I think if you used a toy gun from Cracker Barrel that popped a cork out attached to a string some one could try to make an issue out of it. If they were intent on doing so. Mr Prosecutor could argue that you knew full well that using a toy gun would not be taken seriously by the average criminal, and you should have known better than to try such a stunt. He could easily argue that you were not in fear for your life or at risk of serious bodily injury when you drew your cork gun from it’s holster, as such you are responsible for the death of the criminal when he died laughing.Bullseye
Very good thanksThis article says it works OK.
The Glock 29 Concealed Carry Handgun Review - Online Concealed Handgun Permit
Most firearm enthusiasts agree - Glock doesn't need an introduction. It's a fantastic brand. Let's look at the Glock 29 and see how it lives up to its' name.onlinechp.com
My very limited experience shooting a G20 left me wanting one. I still do, but holding out for a Gen5 MOS version.
All that said, if you are just starting out and deciding what Glock to carry, G19 IS the way to go. You can specialize after becoming proficient with the standard.
Can I use the 10mm mags for the 40 also? That would be a good idea to get more range time in with out having to take out a loan!I got one to carry out west on bow hunts. It’s heavy, you will need a reinforced belt and a good holster. I run a hybrid and it spreads the weight out.
As for court I pray I never need find out. The grip is closer to a G19 and almost fits my whole hand. Takes some getting used to the recoil so plan on practicing a lot of your not used to a big bore gun.
after shooting it for a while a 9mm carry piece feels like a 22 if that tell you anything. You can get away with running 40 through it for practice and that has almost no recoil.
most 10mm rounds are not full power. You will know without a doubt the difference if you get some Buffalo bore or underwood.
Most say that 40 in G29 mags works fine, but the cartridge no longer headspaces correctly in the chamber and is held in place solely by the extractor. Some say that you will eventually run into problems. I say don't buy an EDC gun in a caliber that you can't afford to shoot. What is 10mm going to do for you in a defensive situation over a standard service caliber like 9mm, 40 or 45?Can I use the 10mm mags for the 40 also?

I've carried a Glock 29 in the past, and it's a dependable, utilitarian, concealable pistol that goes "bang" when you squeeze the trigger and fires the potent 10mm round which is one of my favorite rounds.I am looking for some feedback on a Glock 29 for a EDC.

There ya go...many 'lighter' 10mm rounds perform more in line with .40 S&W caliber than a 'hotter' 10mm, which can run into the .44 magnum range. Do your research on the manufacturer's bullet velocity and energy ratings to make sure you know what you're getting and carrying as far as the ammunition you have in your pistol.I got one to carry out west on bow hunts.

Trick...simply procure a .40 S&W barrel for the Glock 29 and it'll run just fine.Most say that 40 in G29 mags works fine, but the cartridge no longer headspaces correctly in the chamber and is held in place solely by the extractor.

??? Thank you.... Interesting, something to think aboutCaliber/cartridge hasn't been much for narrative building locally. I never had a prosecutor ask me about it. I think the biggest downside is cost of ammunition and increased recoil for no real payoff vs human targets. Lots of folks say things like "I'm not recoil sensitive", and they probably aren't. Until they are injured and/or shooting with a compromised grip. People tend to assume they'll start their gun fight standing and healthy. Often they get their wish, but not always.
I would advise you to go try one out before you buy. Sig makes a decent 10mm rd their 180gr V-Crown HP it avg fps was 1193 out of a 5" barrel. Underwood run around 1258fps from a 5" barrel 180gr XTP HP. It has a little kick to it.I am looking for some feedback on a Glock 29 for a EDC. What do you think are the pros and be cons and why...
