Just wondering what your thoughts are on the Glock 29 ? I hear some sa that 10mm is useless out of a short barrel. So, is it really a good choice for your EDC ?
 
I have carried mine months at time in a chiefjason holster and never thought it would be useless if needed . If I were planning to actually hunt with a 10 I would go with a different model but you only mentioned edc. Obviously, its not gonna carry like a shield or hellcat or anything in that category but if you have ever carried any glock sc you’ll be fine, its just a little wider.
 
I own one.

My daily carry rotation is typically either a G43, G26, or G19 depending on the weather, what I'm wearing and where I'm going.

When I head to the woods though the G29 takes the place of my daily carry. Recoil is very manageable, even with Underwood 200 gr hard casts.
 
I love mine, carry it out when I outside/woods gun…oh and when you put a special barrel (G20 barrel won’t fit) G20 size it really makes up for the short barrel difference…image.jpg

G23 for size comparison

I owned one for like a week. It feels like a brick. Would not buy another despite loving Glock and 10MM.

I've handled Dad's Glock 30, which is exactly the same size as a 29 as I'm sure you're aware, and it felt dreadful. Just all kinds of thick in the wrong spots.

That was the only Glock I've handled that I couldn't get on board with. To be fair, I didn't shoot it and that can change things sometimes, but the initial impression was yuck.
 
never owned a 29 but I’ve shot them and had a 30 for a bit, which is the same size. I wasn’t a huge fan of that frame size, it’s just feels like a brick in the compacts, even though the 20/21 feel fine to me.

If I was to get a smaller 10mm I would look at the M&P 2.0 or maybe even the new Sig Xten Comp.

I figured I'd get more feedback on the Glock 29 for concealed carry or even open carry 🤔

It’s just “wrong” enough that it doesn’t do much of anything better than the competition besides stop bears and moose.

I’ve got one just because, but I haven’t ever been in a situation where i thought it was the best carry pistol.

Even for open woods carry I’m probably going to use a G20 instead of the G29.

Maybe if I had a chest rig?
 
I have hands the size of a medium pizza, so the 29 fits me very well. I do carry a 29 from time to time with night sights and +2 mag extensions. I LOVE shooting that little imp!!

Thank you. I've been looking for quite a while for a longer barrel for my 29, but I've been finding them sold out. I'm also not too sure how much difference a .8" makes to velocity (3.7" stock vs. a 4.5" KKM [4.6 stock for G20]).
Ironically, my KKM Precision 4.5" came yesterday. I have no idea when I'll get to try it out.
 
I have a 29SF and love it. I also have a 20SF. I like to carry the G29 on the strong side around 3 o'clock in an OWB holster that rides close. I have an aliengear IWB that I do not use. It just doesn't work for me. Only way to know, is to try it out.
 
I have at least one 20, 29 and 40. A 29 was my first 10mm and I will cary it when my clothing permits. I am tall and skinny 6'1'' 163-168 pounds and its hard to conceal for me because of the thickness.

The ergos on BOTH those guns are so much nicer than the Glock in that caliber. And, as a Glock guy, that kinda hurts my soul. But Glock just made a G19 in .380....so ya know....they arent on the right track. LOL
