glock 29 vs. ruger lcp

[L-W-R-C]

wich pistol would be better to carry any time of year the glock 29 or the ruger lcp?

 

[Chondro788]

Personally I like the LCP, but I'm sure there will be many people who prefer the Glock.

10mm power wins hands down over .380 any day.

10mm power wins hands down over .380 any day.

Ditto.

 

[IndyGunworks]

which is safer, an electric car or a 2 ton pickup? are you really trying to compare .380 vs. 10mm?

I've carried a G29 since they first came out. But it is NOT a small gun.

If you are looking for a primary carry weapon and you can handle the recoil then the G29 is great. But it is not nearly as easy to conceal as the LCP.

is the g29 relatively easy to conceal in summer clothing?

 

[00BlasterResto]

I really like my LCP, front pocket, back pocket, coat pocket. Just gotta remember which one its in, can't feel it.
Wouldn't have it as my only, but definatly has its place.
I have found several occasions where it would be the LCP or nothing, Sure feel better with the LCP than my CRKT.

Depends on how big a person you are. In the summer I carry it in a fanny pack. Remember, it's the same thickness as a G20 and 21, it's just not as long or tall.

the lcp will be much easier to carry year round, but not near the power of the 10mm.

The G29/30 is a strange one for me. THe only hoslter that I have found to be both comfortable and usable to conceal that particular gun is the factory glock cheapie. Worked AWESOME. But it was a bit difficult to conceal comfortably in the summer. It is a chunky piece. The LCP can fit almost anywhere, and I mean ANYWHERE!

As for power comparison, totally different worlds. But both will do the job if trained correctly and placed appropriately.

For everyday carry, LCP all the way, especially if loaded with a decent ammo and I had enough trigger time/drawing/movement and shot placement time with it. THe GLock 29 would be a good HD gun, but not my idea of an everyday carry piece (I had the 30).

I have a 29sf and an LCP, but comparing the two really doesn't make any sense. The LCP is a mouse gun; it's tiny, small caliber, and easily concealed. The 29 is a sub-compact, large caliber and consequently still relatively large handgun.

The LCP is definitely easier to carry, but the .380 is a little lacking, especially if you start comparing it to a 10mm.

LCP, because the 29 is a..... well its a Glock.

 

[groovatron]

I would carry both of them. I carry the LCP for a backup or a primary when the situation dictates it. The problem with this, is that I could see myself carrying the LCP to back up the Glock, but never the other way around. If it's a matter of size, LCP.....firepower...Glock...I suppose it's pretty obvious.

 

[rmcrob]

groovatron has the right idea.

The 10mm will have about 400 ft-lbs of energy out of the muzzle. The .380 will have about half that, at best. And the differential doesn't get any better as the bullets move away from the muzzle.

Similar comparison to a V-8 Mustang and a Toyota Prius. Have you actually held these guns? Radically different in terms of size. If you feel like you can comfortably carry it all year round, the G29 hands down. I'm 6'3" and couldn't comfortably carry a G29 365.

The LCP/P3AT is a *fantastic* deep-cover or BUG. The G29 is one of the handful of pistols that accommodate the ultra-potent 10mm.

Sneak up behind 'em with an icepick or charge 'em with a machete. Same type of comparison.
