- This is a tabletop review of the GLOCK 29 SF 10 MM. In this video we will discuss the history, size and features of the firearm. In addition, we will demonstrate how to field strip and reassemble the gun for cleaning and inspection. Range performance will also be discussed along with different tested methods of carry and how comfortable it is to carry on a regular basis. Last, we will provide an overall opinion of how this firearm stacks up for concealed carry purposes. Thanks for watching!
I just purchased a Glock 29 SF a few hours ago just gotta wait on my background check and my baby will be at its rightful home I been wanting one for the longest and was finally able to get one
Just ordered one a couple days ago. Was told it was better for personal carry than a .357 G32
Out here in Cali, just purchased mine sometime last week, it's still in jail for another week and then I can pick it up
You need it out there with mountain lion and bear@@thewanderingpnut1685
I picked up one brand new from an owner that shot maybe 10 rounds through it and it scared him and I got it for 500 bucks with 100 rounds and I love this pistol!!
I bought a G29 yesterday at my local pawn.
They had a bin with 3 G29 Pearce extended mags like you have for $15. Bought all 3.
Looking forward to carrying it!
Do those add rounds or just grip? And how do you like carrying it so far? Have you noticed any poking from the Pearce grip?
I carry my Glock 29 in a sticky “ Remora” holster and even with the pierce mag/pinky extension it sits really nice in my cargo shorts pockets , I love this gun !!! I have the 26, 34MOS, 40MOS w/ Holosun 407c and this 29 and I’m really glad I was able to finally get my hands on the 29, it is a hard one to find! 🤩
I love my 29. I have several 10mm in my collection, but this is easiest to actually carry.
I’m a real fan of the 10mm. I purchased the 29 and 20 last year and really enjoyed both. This year, I purchased the 40 MOS and 34 MOS early this year and they are great. I’m looking to make the 29 my preferred carry gun. I’m thinking about putting a red dot on it, the Leopold Micro Dot.
@@jerrybennett2218 yep , therm’s some nice guns!!
I have the appendix rig from Alien Gear for my Glock 29 . I really like that the g29 has a rail for a light , I have an older TLR-4 I put on my g29 at times. 10mm hits steel with some authority at 100 yards , 1,400 fps 180grn ammo ain’t no joke 😜
True!!!
Absolutely love my G29 And G20!!!
I have a g29 sg, a gen 4 g20, and a p80 pf45 with a g20L slide love the 10mm great all around gun to have
5:20 The Gen 4 G29 without any backstrap installed, and the Gen 3 SF have the exact same Length Of Pull, or what Glock calls Trigger Distance: distance between the front of the trigger to the back of the grip. Gen 4 with medium backstrap installed returns to grip to the size of a regular Gen 3 (increase the trigger distance by 2mm), and the large backstrap makes Gen 4's grip larger than that of the Gen 3 (another 2mm increase) :)
this is what I carry 90% of the time love my G29sf 10mm is awesome 👌🏽
What about the other 10%
Thanks for the content. I've been EDC as a CCW, the Glock 43 with +2 extended mag (for better grip) for a total of 8+1 but I'm a 10mm guy. Proud owner of a Colt Delta Elite 10MM auto for 25 years and LOVE the 10mm caliber and have trained to mitigate the recoil, etc. I'm also a firm believer in a bigger, heavier projectile flying at a higher velocity matters A LOT when used in self defense. I don't know what the science is here, but a 9MM hollow-point striking a bad-guy 2" off target is most likely a non-issue when shot in the same place with a 10MM round because of the increased damage. Maybe I'm wrong, but it makes sense. Anyway, today I held the G29SF for the first time and wow, it was love and first grip. The thicker grip from the double stack design instantly gave me a tighter, more locked in draw and I loved the weight. I bought it on the spot and in 12-13 days (with holiday) i'll be the proud owner of this pistol. Can't wait to put a Romeo site, flashlight and add her to the CCW license.
Where do you live? I am wondering what state reuires registration of your EDC on your CCW.
Great gun. When I go deer and bear hunting, I carry a Glock 20 with a KKM 6” barrel and Underwood 200gr HP’s or 200gr lead hardcast bullets for deep penetration, specifically on bears. But when I creek fish in the remote parts of the Eastern Sierras and am constantly moving along the creeks and on trails where I want to (legally) conceal a 10mm from shocked anti 2A passing tree hugging hikers, I carry the G29 instead. Again, it’s primarily for black bears that don’t want to move away from me, in the event I happen to accidentally sneak up on one pissed off mamma bear where retreating won’t work. My 29 when loaded with hard hitting Underwood or Grizzly brand lead hardcast, I swap in a KKM fully supported chamber barrel. For regular EDC carry if I choose to rotate a 10mm, I load up with either Winchester 175gr silvertips (old school that works great in 10mm), or Sig Sauer 180 V-crown HP’s, or Remington green/white box 180gr HP’s. They all work great in Paul Harrell’s “meat targets.”
TLDR
@@cyumadbrosummit3534 GFY. That short enough for ya?
You’re so cool 👍🏻
I love my G29. I have the gen 4. And the pearce grip is a must. It helps so much with the grip. I also have the G20 15 round mag with an X grip. Love it.
I use the same pinky extension as you do. But occasionally I feel a pinch on my little finger. I still love the gun. Easy to conceal. I’ve carried my 40 MOS and it can get a little heavy as does the 20. I recently ordered side suspenders to compensate for the weight. I plans to carry based on conditions, weather, clothing, destination etc.
All 3 of my Glock 10mm’s have the new and improved reliable version Alpha Wolf barrel that I use with lead bullets. My 29 usually used for EDC with Underwood 180XTP. My 20 usually used for woods defense with Underwood 200HC. My 40 usually used for hunting/woods defense with Underwood 200XTP and HC. All 3 guns have McNally adjustable flat face trigger assemblies.
My 29 magazines all have Pearce mag extensions and grip extensions.
Excellent review! I do love my 29. It is by my side when I go camping or strolling out into the forest.
9mm for the hoods. 10mm for the woods. I carry a Glock 26 9mm for my EDC. I carry a Glock 20 10mm when hunting, camping, hiking. That 29 looks sweet though. I think I may have to pick one up. 10+1 of 10mm ai t bad. And I can carry my 15 rnd Glock 20 mags for my spare mags.
Haha for the hoods
Gracias por tu tiempo y comentarios sobre este apasionante mundo de las armas.
Glad I never sold mine got it in a trade for a g33 . I carry it everywhere and it shoots like a beast and I’ll probably never carry anything else but 10mm
Always love seeing new reviews on the glock 29sf 10mm it definitely checks all the boxes like you said from concealed 2 woods carry it's got you covered. Only thing I did was put them pierce grip extensions on and some talon grips fits like a glove shoots like a dream if I could only have one handgun the glock 29sf would be it.
Amen my only complain is its heavy and weigh my pants
Mine would honestly be a amazing 1911 or cz 75 compact / 75 D compact. And just carry a lever action chambered in 45-70 govt. for bear
It's the best subcompact pistol in the world!
@@WorldClassSatanist bet your a** it is.
100% agree
Love my G19 + G26
But 1 gun g29sf no question!! 💥
Also Pearce extensions on my 26 + 29 are perfect fit
Instant comfort. 👍
I’d pay a lot of money if they did a glock 29X and just single stacked it and lengthened the grip by 3/4” for about 8 round magazine capacity, perfect for my ccw pouch on my hiking pack
They should have just did what the difference between the 40 and 20 is and jus shorten the barrel and maintain 15 in capacity
Build it for yourself the way you want it.
@@williamhsmithjr2991 I don’t have the equipment to cast the glass reinforced polymer
Excellent insightful video on a truly Universal multi purpose everyvday 24/7 carry pistol.
If I could have only one Glock 10mm it would be the Glock 29SF.
This is by far the most versatile multi purpose, universal Personal Safety Defensive Device available to date.
I dare someone to try saying that 5 times fast
Just bought the 29sf. Hope I enjoy it
10mm is such a versatile cartridge. Good self-defense hollow points expand extremely well and tend to not over penetrate. Correspondingly, loaded with FMJ FP and a full load of powder the round has extreme penetration for a handgun round - hence "bear load".
I’ve been wanting a G29 for the longest. Can’t find one anywhere. Those that have them, won’t trade or sell. Very nice pistol! 😩
Hopefully, the firearms market will stabilize before long. My local gun store has done a tremendous job getting items in stock, but even they are having trouble with certain things. Keep looking, you will find one!
MAGA Arms. Looks like you’re in Boston.
Great video,great gun awesome caliber i carry my g19 gen 4 and my g29sf for daily carry along sometimes with my M&p shield 9mm.
Wow..great reviw. Just what I needed. I'm saving up for a G29 SF to keep my other Glocks company. TFS
I’ve had mine since last fall and definitely glad I got it. I have the 17, 19, 34 MOS, 29, 20, and 40 MOS. I love all of them. My next purchase will be a 41 or 21. You won’t regret the 29. But know that you will feel it more than most.
Thank you for this excellent review!
Great review. You cover all aspects and questions I had on this pistol. Thank You and Merry Christmas.
Thanks for your positive comments, and for watching. Merry Christmas to you as well.
I have the glock 40 for hunting and bear protection. It also sits on my nightstand.
I have a glock 43x also for cc but i have shield arms 15rd mags and after a malfunction im thinking about switching back to the factory 10rd mag. Not sure which glock ill get next but I know i will. Youve got me thinking about the glock 29 though lol. But i do love the 45... and if the 45 is comfortable enough it might replace my 43x
Not getting the fully velocity of the bear loads when you go down in barrel length. I have a G20 with a 6.5" barrel when going into the woods to get the full velocity of that 10mm round.
The difference in velocity between the 3.8" G29 and the 4.6" G20 is usually only around 40 fps. Going from a G20 to the 6" G40 nets you another 40 fps. So the difference between the G29 and a 6 inch barrel is only about 80 fps. That is a difference, but whether it is enough difference to make a difference is subjective. Many people will find the discretion and convenience afforded by the subcompact to be worth 80 fps. I split the difference and carry a G20 everywhere. But I have been considering the G29 because having something a little smaller when EDCing in town would nice, sometimes.
I pocket carry my G29
If I go somewhere I'm not supposed to carry, I just slide my wallet in front of the holster. Doesn't have a chance of interfering but it just looks like I have a modern smart phone and wallet bulging my pocket out a bit
Surprisingly concealable but thick and will leave an imprint, nothing a good holster can't fix
I am considering retiring my EAA Witness Steel Compact and am curiously looking for another 10mm to replace it. I appreciate your thorough and thoughtful review of this firearm.
The box for my glock says it's 29sf and it says it's a gen4 but no back straps came with it. I hope I have the one that the back straps go on because I ordered some
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's really good handgun for outdoor carry. Good presentation 😎👍
Important note: The smallest backstrap on the gen4 is identical to the SF. The other 4 backstraps increase the grip size. If you don't already own one, just buy the gen4. Same grip size as the SF with the option to go larger.
Just a guess, the weight difference is probably in the slide.
Solid information well presented - subscribed
Would love to see more 10mm carry options
big Brother to the Glock 27. I do like it.
You gotta try a Springfield xdm elite 10mm both full and compact. Im a glock fanboy but the Springfield xdm elite is more accurate and you can shoot hard cast in the stock batrel. I have a g20 as well all greay guns they actually soak up recoil better than my 1911 10mms .
Which generation of the G29 do you think is the best?
All I can say I have a 29 10mm and I have 27 .40 cal. I have problem shooting either well. And they almost conceal the same too.
I find the G29 easier to carry than my G19. I have the plain Tulster IWB for the G29....no problem, it's just like carrying my G26.
I love my 29sf ❤
This and the 43x are the best in my opinion
I own a Glock 26, it shoots really well and that pinky extension makes a significant difference. I can imagine how it feels in without one in 10mm. Your 29 looks like a good choice for your personal needs.
Great content and fun to watch.
Thank you for you comments! Welcome aboard!
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel thank you bud!
Any real difference between the recoil of the G29 and the G20 both in 10 mm? My application would be for hunting, but I want to be comfortable shooting it.
I have both. The G20 is about an inch longer and will handle recoil a bit better. For me, it's only something I can really notice if I shoot a whole magazine. My main use of my G29 is for a sidearm for when I hunt, so the slight difference is not really an issue for me.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel Awesome. Man I appreciate the feedback. I know I would not be shooting that much so having the sub compact may be best for me as well. I only need it for the back county and that is just a few times a year. I'd probably practice with lighter loads and carry the hard cast rounds in the field......Thanks again.
Definitely. You will feel it much more on the 29. My 20 was my favorite before getting the 40 MOS. If you are planning on hunting, the 40 is the way to go.
Great review. I have a Glock 20 and I love it. I've always wondered what the 29 shot like.
The 29 shoots better than my 19 or 23 / crazy
@@torozal52 really ? How do you handle the recoil because I’m trying to get one
@@kompa35 practice practice practice!
@@kompa35 recoil is not as bad as you would think. Go with the tungsten guide rod, its heavier but helps alittle.
Can someone PLEASE answer what the difference is between the G29sf and the G294th gen? Ty!
Any recommendations on recoil spring weights for concealment carry? I'm not running light ammo just 180 grain and up. I researched videos on RUclips but some were mixed.
Nice video, what’s the model of that holster ? Never even heard of that brand.
That is a Sticky brand holster. My go to for smaller guns.
Thx
Bless you sir. 🙌🏻
i would carry a slimline 10mm glock if they made one...
Agreed. If they made a single stack 10mm I would probably have more than one.
Yep she is like a 2x4 in your pants 👖 my rock island 10mm 1911 fits much better in the 👖
You can get conversion barrels for that single stack 45acp it’ll feed from the same mags too.
I would too. I normally prefer my G29 but it's not the easiest imprint to conceal. Short but fat!
I would love to have both.
Do you shoot hard cast through a stock Glock barrel? Just got my G20 and trying to understand my options. Thank you for the great video.
Personally, I don't use hard cast ammo. Lone wolf, Storm Lake and KKM barrels are all good options that seem to be popular with those that do.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel thank you for replying 👊🏻
Buffalo bore suggests that if you use their hard cast ammo that you use the stock barrel. I had a KKM but after having a few failure to feeds, went back to stock and haven't had a problem since
Yes, I do, and I use Underwood Ammo, and I have read Buffalo Bore is good as well.
Could you please tell me the model sticky holster you are using please. Their website not showing a model for the Glock 29
LG-6 fits perfect. When I bought mine, the G29 was not listed but the G30 is the same size.
Would the 29sf size be more comparable to the Glock 30sf or is the 30sf thicker?
Same
Wrong the 29 is thicker
People focus too much on the size and the weight when discussing the G29 for CCW. The appeal of the gun is the cartridge, not the ergonomics. You’re going to sacrifice some size and weight when you’re carrying a round 4 times more powerful than the 9mm.
Is this a gen 5 or do they make these gen 5
They make the G29 in a Gen4 and SF only, not a Gen5.
I believe that Gen 4 is the latest generation
What size sticky holster is that?
Just got one today
I would like to get a full size frame or at least grip for my 29 if there is such an animal.
Living in Alaska, the 10mm does not do it for Bears. S&W m29 or Colt Anaconda is the minimum I would carry if expect to run into bears.
Can you expand?
Real easy, when an animal with a very thick skull, hide tougher than your boots and real bad attitude is coming over to settle your differences in a meaningful way, now is not the time to find out you don't have enough gun.
@@johnwillis4706 Not even with hard case bullet in the 10MM.
@@bishopgeorge1333 Not for me. If push comes shove with a Brown bear, I want a lot more shove than a 10mm can provide. 10 mm is a good round, just not on Brownies.
@@johnwillis4706 Got it you know you hear of people talking about you can go out against a bear with a 10mm and not that I will do something like that but that is what I heard.
Nice video! Love my Glock 29 and wouldn’t trade it for anything. But.... I only carry it for when I’m fishing in the Sierras and need a ccw (legally permitted) 10mm on the trail for a rogue black bear. Also, where other people might be and I don’t want to spook some vegan anti-gunner with it on my hip or in my chest rig. So in that case on high Sierras fishing, I want a compact 10mm and the 29 fits the Bill. But, when I’m big game rifle hunting, I ALWAYS carry my Glock 20 (sometimes with a 6” KKM barrel). I primarily use my all leather Diamond D chest rig, made from a guy in Alaska. I love it. Now the small barrel of the 29 has much less velocity than the standard Glock 20 barrel or even a 6” barrel, so I’d never carry it as a back up gun for hunting. Ammo I use for bear protection is a lead hardcast 200gr solid from either Underwood, BuffaloBore, DoubleTap or Grizzly and in my Glock 29 KKM barrel. It’s fully supported chamber with genuine “lands & groves” makes shooting lead hardcast bullets a safer and suitable weapon. Sadly though in Cali, I can’t easily order online ammo anymore and none of those above brands will ship to Cali “subjects.” Also, lead bullets of any kind are now illegal for HUNTING in Cali, so I need to find an all copper bullet that’s suitable for bear hunting. Only problem, that bullet these days and even before the COVID ammo crunch was/is extremely hard to ever find. It truly is like finding not only a living unicorn, but a unicorn made out of 24kt gold. But again, for just bear “protection” on the banks of fishing creeks, I use lead all day long. It’s a last resort weapon and in that case, lead is still legal (this week anyway) in California. Good thing I stocked up on that hot 10mm ammo years ago. I must clarify though... while I think the Glock 29 is really too short to produce enough muzzle velocity for my liking, my retired game warden buddy one had to kill a black bear with his standard Glock 22 .40 and a quick double tap. It worked, so I know with the right shot placement, a Glock 29 with the right ammo can work as well.
Much less velocity… don’t think so. I own all three Glock 10mms. Review the videos that is adverse to your statement here on RUclips that actually measured the velocity of the 29 vs 20.
@@mutlee299 Which video are you referring to? Are you talking about one particular brand of ammo that may have been a fluke? They may come close in velocity, but the 29 sized barrel is shorter than the 20’s barrel and thus provides slower velocity and less foot/lbs of energy.
Do you know what size sticky holster that is
Sticky's website calls for an LG-6, but I carry mine in a LG-2 and that is also the model used in the video.
Excellent looked like it fit real nice. I have one , it doesn’t cover the trigger entirely
I think that for protection from the bear Glock 20 Is better, think that the bullet velocity is considerevally lower and with less penetration in a Glock 29
Love mines!!!! Period
Stock barrel ok to keep? Don’t feel like changing the barrel. Best grain? Self defense and zombies and maybe a dogman
Thanks to anyone who responds.
Stock barrel on the 29SF has been fine for me. I like the underwood 135 grain in it just for toting around, 180-200 grain for woods duty.
I just like the heavier grain for any twigs/bushes/whatever that could get in the way. Is it right? Dunno but makes sense in my head.
Oh. Are we going to find out???
Small but of advice, as I carry this. Get a 21+ pound steel guide rod and recoil spring assembly. Glock considers the plastic guid rod a disposable item. Then get an extended take down bar and slide release as the the originals get a little tougher to use with a 21+ pound guide rod and spring. I would not go more than 22 lbs, but you will appreciate the extra resistance over the stock recoil spring.
Not needed. Keeping it stock will get the job done. No need to change it from factory specs
I’ve changed to an Alpha Wolf barrel, McNally trigger, and Ameriglo night sights. However, I’ve been advised to NOT change the guide rod and spring because of reliability issues. Leave the stock one in the gun. That advice did not come from Glock, but from a very reliable source.
Thinking about getting this!!
Get it
Glock 40!
It's the only option for concealed carry
Definitely not a range gun. It spanks the hand. Mine is a defensive carry piece not a fun gun.
Great revews on Glock 29 like mine a lot
I wish Glock would make a Glock 29sf X....
10mm is like a 9mm, but for men!
I wish Glock would just beef up the barrel and make the slide narrow for a 10 mm. I have a Glock 23 Gen 4, 40 cal. with the same thickness as the Glock 19. Glock makes a G36 single stacked in 45 cal. that is the same thickness as the Glock 19. Always wished they would do the same in a 10 mm. Probably wishful thinking ?
S&W M29 4” is my daily carry.
Carried a 6" 29 for years.
If I want to carry a large-caliber handgun it won't be a small concealable one. It's going to be full sized.
Mine is bad azz
Explains how to subscribe on a phone,lol
Know your audience ;)
I’m liking it. I am looking for a new gun. This might be my new gun. Good review
Nice blaster
New to the channel, really good review of the G29. I've been on the fence about getting one but I don't really like the pinky grip extensions as they are bit of a bothersome for me.
With that being said, I do carry a G30 and two of my mags have the pinky extensions and although I love having the .45acp firepower in a small package, I just never get used to that pinky grip extensions on the mags.
But like you said in your video, I also have a full size .1911 Kimber in 10mm. I have the Eclipse Custom II in 10mm and as much as I love it as well, I want the same caliber in a much smaller package and the G29 seems to be the best way to go.
But, I just wish Glock made the 10mm in the same size as say the G19, G23, and the G32. I would be all over that if Glock made this. But for now, if I do purchase the G29, I'll have to do the pinky extensions again. Guess I can't have everything 😕 😪...
But very good video, enjoyed it.
Update: I ended up buying one of these off GunBroker.com...your video made me do it...☹️🤫
To anyone looking for grip with this and a better feel and good ammo capacity etc.
Order a glock 20 15 round magazine. Order a X-grip for the glock 29.
Order some grip tape if you want.
Thank me later
You can use grip tape or Talon grips have a few options. They fit great on Glocks.
Only thing I don’t like about this gun is the slide release. You have to dig your finger in there to try and get it to work.
It's a slide lock, not a release.
