Glock G29 10mm Compact Review :Power House!

the glock model 29 10 millimeter let's check it out [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] block introduced the model 17 in 1982 it entered into austrian service made in austria founded in austria glock has become legendary across the gun world it's not the prettiest gun on the market but it's definitely one of the most reliable and just most utilitarian tools for military law enforcement and civilians i've been shooting glock for over 30 years and i just really feel at home with the glock today we're going to be taking a look at the model 29 which is their compact version of their 10 millimeter g20 the glock model 20 which is the full size 10 millimeter was introduced in 1991 and then in 1997 they released their compact version the model 29 now 10 millimeter is the top of the food chain for glock the model 20 obviously being really the standard but then the compact on the 29 a lot of people steer clear of the 29 because they're concerned about the recoil with 10 millimeter but these are really sweet to shoot for that caliber they also have the glock 40 which is the long slide version this is a gen 4 and they also make the glock 29 sf for short frame guys there's just something about 10 millimeter and a lot of people get excited about 10. and i understand why i mean it is a full power load and yet it's not punishing the 10 millimeter was designed by the fbi after the dade county shootings they really wanted something that could just up the game now unfortunately most people couldn't handle the 10 millimeter so they dropped it down to 40 caliber which 40 caliber is just a short and 10 millimeter but 10 millimeter is still a very powerful round and very popular you can use this for self-defense you can actually use this you know if you're on a hunting expedition the caliber has a lot of potential the first thing we're going to do is drop our magazine it does have a 10 round magazine it comes with two we're going to check the chamber and it's empty uh this is a glock guys and many of you have seen glock reviews and uh guys if i could only have one handgun i've said this a thousand times would be the glock g19 because it's not because they're pretty it's because they just work and i've had a lot of rounds i put through them and so for me grabbing a glock is just like coming home now one of the things about the 29 is it is a thicker pistol but of course the model 20 is what started it all and uh we're going to drop the magazine it is 15 plus one and the gun is empty uh the one thing about the g20 and the g21 which is in the 45 caliber is that they are full full-size thick guns i mean this is the gen 3 so it is a solid almost you know you hear a 2x4 when you grab a glock well this is honestly getting close i mean it is a big grip and just a very big firearm it's bigger than their standard models their nine millimeters and their 40s and those but there's a lot of power that's going behind this so they needed to up the frame size they needed to up the slide and that will give it glock reliability now compared to your 29 you can see quite a bit of difference i mean we can go through all the specs but uh you know it's not really that important what's important is is that this is a compact version of this pistol this to me with the gen 3 it just is a little thick with the gen 4 they removed part of the grip back here because now they have grip extensions or grip panels and here you get four different sizes even two with a little bit of a beaver tail and so this way it'll suit whoever for me i like it slim because this grip is already a little thicker already because also the magazines are thicker now i have talon grips on this model 20 and guys i'll be putting talon grips on this one i just like the talon grips and with the recoil even though it's not punishing it's just a lot more recoil than you know your 9 millimeter even your 40. and so i like to have those talon grips on there gives you a really good grip but with the gen 4 texturing it's got really nice aggressive texturing little pyramids you do have your finger grooves which with gen 5 they did away with but they're not making gen 5 at this point for the 29 or the 20. you do have an extended magazine release though it's larger so it just drops your mags they are drop free the magazines are polymer but they do have a steel reinforced lining inside but you can also take your glock 20 mags and use those so you've got 15 rounds and you know it gives you a little bit more capacity i'll slip one of these in your back pocket if you decided to conceal carry this one thing that i've actually got on order is a spacer that goes in between the base plate and right here so it keeps this from over extending into and keeps it from wobbling around just something i thought i would do now one thing about these pistols is it is a very short grip and very similar to the glock 26 and with that short grip now my hands are medium so if you've got just even large hands it's really going to hang off this edge and shooting 10 millimeter you know you kind of really want to have a full grip but honestly one thing i found just like with the 26 that it shoots very well in fact my 26 shoots just as good as my model 19. a lot of that has to do with the recoil system it's a little bit different and to give you a little bit of a size comparison here is the glock 26 nine millimeter it's also 10 plus one and this is the gen five you'll notice the no finger grooves here and i really like the gen five honestly i would really like to see them come out with a 29 but the slide is definitely thinner the 10 millimeter just ups it a little bit and then that also translates into the grip and so you're getting a little bit thicker grip than you are with the 26 and it's just overall a little bit larger handgun not much on the front end and actually pretty close on the bottom end but these are both 10 plus one just got a really thin gun with the 26. i carried the 26 for over 10 years and i've just switched to the glock g43 x mainly because of the shield arms s15 magazines where i have 15 in one and there are a lot of people that feel the same way but i'm not myopic with glock i love a lot of different handguns because guys again we live in the golden age of firearms there are so many different choices but there's not really anything that matches the g29 in my opinion as far as size and the durability i would love to take this in fact i'm going to i'm going to take it with me hunting it's just a great sidearm to have much better than the 9 when you're hunting and much smaller than the glock g20 now the barrel is 3.8 inches in length and on the glock 20 it's 4.61 inches so it's not even an inch difference in barrel length but the grip is definitely considerably shorter one thing of course is they do have the safe action trigger and you know it has that little blade to keep you from firing and then when you put it on there you know you can fire the pistol we'll take a look at trigger pull which this is typical for glock you do have your slide release right here it is minimal you have your takedown here and it's only on one side now the gen fives now have the slide release or slide stop on the other side now of course the tenofer finish is what they had for a number of years and they've changed that but the finishes on the glocks are just excellent they hold up so well one thing about the steel of the slides is a lot of guys especially in other countries have sharpened their knives using their glock slides because they're so hard and my buddy robbie wheaton who is a gunsmith said that the glock slides are some of the hardest to meal because the steel is just excellent now this one just has the rear cocking serration some of the gen fives have the front but that's what you've got also you have a picatinny rail with one slot we have a squared off trigger guard you have a little bit of a divot here to put your hand in and then the frame kind of comes out a little bit here beveled at the front i really like that and um it has the polymer standard glock sights and of course there are a thousand options out there and i am going to be changing these sites out i would like to get some night sights for it all right we have nine millimeter here on the right we have 40 smith and west and we have the 10 millimeter you can see there's a definite difference a smaller diameter bullet compared to a similar diameter with the 40 and the 10 millimeter because the 40 is the baby of a 10 millimeter now one thing that a lot of people think is the fbi started testing the 10 millimeter and their agents couldn't handle the recoil so they dropped it to 40. but that's not quite the case uh really the reaction times to get second third follow-up shots with 10 millimeter just took more time and so they really thought that they needed to back that down to make sure that they could get maximum energy and yet be able to quickly get back on target uh they ended up going back with the nine millimeter but that is the biggest reason is getting on target quicker now these are all full metal jacket but in self-defense loads uh there's so many different choices and there's so many variations i mean the bullet weights are so different so what i did was compare the hornady critical duty ammunition but guys again with the 10 millimeter because of the excessive recoil you're not going to be able to get your speed up to what you can with the 40 and even more so with the 9 millimeter here we have 10 millimeter and 357 magnum but these are going to be both excellent to carry on your hip during a hunting trip or even possibly in the winter time where there may be a lot of clothes on someone and that's going to give you some advantage with these two guys for those of you who are very familiar with the glock trigger this is definitely a typical glock trigger we do have the little blade safety that's going to keep this from firing unless you get a full grip onto the trigger and then you depress it we have some take up right here and then we have the break there's some stacking guys it's just a typical glock trigger reset reset right there let's check the trigger pull weight with our alignment trigger gauge and brows five pounds 14.7 ounces and i've done that a number of times it comes out about the five and a half pound mark i want to thank fioki for sponsoring the ammo all made right here in the usa this is 180 grain jacketed hollow points so we have some full metal jacket as well this should be good i think it's 1200 feet per second so it's going pretty good [Applause] now when it comes to going to the range with 10 millimeter you really anticipate some really heavy recoil especially in this small little compact pistol but honestly once you master the grip once you know what it's going to do it just seems to really settle down first couple of magazines i fired through it i was somewhere else i was at a range my gun club we shot a few rounds through it and you know it seemed to pinch a little bit on my pinky this time i got very little of that one thing i did get was a little bit right here on my knuckle but wasn't too bad and that was after shooting 200 rounds of 10 millimeter it really shoots fairly flat you know it's just got a really solid grip to it the finger grooves actually help because of the 10 millimeter you feel like you've got a little bit better grip on the firearm but overall once you get used to what it's going to do you know i could manage shooting this very well i was very impressed honestly now one thing we did do was switch to the 10 millimeter to the nine millimeter i just wanted to see how it looked on camera i wanted to let you guys see what some of the difference was and there was a considerable difference with the glock 26 you know it was just a really light shooting gun and it already is again to me the 26 shoots like the 19 or the 17. it's just i don't know why it's the recoil system but the big thing is is it just shot a lot softer so i think overall if you're going to carry something like this even if you're going to carry it hunting or a backup you need to get some practice with it but once you do i think you're going to find that it's not that bad to shoot but you can definitely tell the power is coming out with the 10 over the 9 millimeter [Applause] for disassembly drop your magazine check to make sure the gun is unloaded first thing we do is is pull the trigger pull back on the slide about an eighth of an inch and grab these two little tabs there on either side of the frame pull that down for some reason this is a little more difficult there we go and then you have your recoil spring it's dual captive this it this really does help with felt recoil we have our barrel which is the glock polygonal barrel don't shoot reloads a lot of lead loads it'll deposit into those polygonal grooves and it can cause a catastrophic malfunction with the gun itself glock's you know always very utilitarian but they do good work this is your firing pin safety your striker safety right here and just like any other glock and of course the frame definitely a glock reassembly just in reverse order we're going to drop in our barrel put in our recoil spring and guide rod bring your slide back over your frame just like this tester function and we're good to go and it comes with the standard glock box and again you get your firearm you do get these back straps and you do get an extra magazine brush cleaning brush cleaning rod your normal stuff now we're going to do a little upgrade video coming up this is just such a standard glock standard sites and we're going to kind of do some upgrading and i'm going to talk about it one thing though that i would immediately recommend is putting one of these small little pierced grip this doesn't add any magazine capacity but it just gives you just a little bit more lip and they also have some that do the mag capacity we're going to have those as well so that's coming up because i just want to show how i'm going to set this thing up but to be honest with you it's good to go as it is now a couple of things about this firearm as far as 10 millimeter carrying it there is more recoil than your 9 millimeter for that matter than your 40. so one thing about this firearm is that if you're going to shoot it or carry this for self-defense just take it to the range and get a feel for how the recoil reacts and once you do that you seem to be able to get good control of the of the recoil the recoil management uh you know it definitely is a little more powerful but there's a lot that has to be said about having this polymer frame and glock says this actually absorbs some of the recoil the guide rod definitely helps the way it's designed but you've still got a really powerful round would i recommend carrying a 10 millimeter for a concealed carry personally i'm not going to carry this as my standard concealed carry but again i'm going to carry this on the trail i'm going to carry it hunting uh you know if i really want something and to up the power this is a great option but there's a lot of guys that carry full house 1911's and you know a lot of other firearms so you know really it's up to you what you want to carry and what you feel confident in so i feel like the 10 millimeter definitely has a lot of merit you know i mean we're talking about 357 magnum up to 41 magnum this is a very capable round with ballistics and bullet weights but guys if you're really sensitive to recoil i would stick to nine millimeter now i've been wanting one of the glock 29s for a long time i have the model 20 i love it and i have a number of other 10 millimeter semi-automatic pistols but there's something about having a small compact pistol that shoots 10 millimeter that you could even carry concealed that to me is just really appealing so guys if you want power if you want something you can carry and you know it's going to perform very well the model 29 is easy to stow away and yet you have that power you can bring out just at your fingertips 10 millimeter is definitely a devastating round but with the way that the glock 29 is designed it's really a pleasure to shoot you know you've got a 10 millimeter in your hand but you also know you've got a good solid grip on it and that it's going to be reliable and as far as price goes these typically run between 550 and 600 dollars of course right now in 2020 prices are a little bit crazy but glocks right now especially are very difficult to find because it is just one of those guns that you know is reliable and a lot of people are buying them i really appreciate my buddy for offering this for sale and uh because i've been wanting one for a good while and guys i'm not disappointed rubber dummies is one of the best training tools on the market and you get a 10 discount using suit zero zero when you click the link down in the description be strong be of good courage god bless america long live the republic [Music] [Applause] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] so let's check it out check check check check check check it out check it out check it out even though it's not just off just in reverse order i'm having some issues here having issues i don't know why and so you know we i don't care be strong be of good courage god bless america long live the freaking stupid dog come on dog god bless america you
