Hi all,

I'm looking at purchasing a Glock model 29 (sub 10mm) for CCW and was wondering if anyone here had any experience with them.  I know there are several members here who carry a G30 which is the same size, so I'd like to hear from you too.  I currently carry a G27 and shoot it often, no problems with the recoil of that and I have big hands so the fatter grip wouldn't bother me I don't think, although I've never handled one.  So what say you NFOA members?  Any of you carry a 10mm?

TIA

It is a handful!!! I carry the G30 which I think is the softest shooting Glock period. The little experience I've had with 10mm loads was that they are brutal with recoil.

Unbearable? No............. Gonna practice with it a little here and there and carry.... Probably fine.


Wanting to shoot a lot? Pain and empty wallet comes to mind!

Thanks for the input Chris,

Some people have said that the .40 is way too snappy to be comfortable with too, but it doesn't bother me in the least.  I'd really like to shoot a 20 or 29 to see for myself.

Thats my plan, shoot it until I'm comfortable with it and then carry it and shoot it occasionally.  How is the size of your g30 for carry?

Chris Z:
Are you in Omaha or Lincoln? I might know someone in Omaha looking to sell a G29...... He is in LaVista. If he still has it, I'm sure he would meet you at the Bullet Hole to shoot it before you buy it.

I carried the G27 for years. It is a handful, but controllable, and I really like that gun. Shooting a couple hundred full power factory loads through it though is not the most pleasant.


Size wise, I carry the G30sf.... It is a little fatter than the G27, but still manageable.
