Talk me out of a Glock 29

[short308]

Not a glock fanboy, but I have always been somewhat drawn to the glock 29, for the guns small size and numbers that the 10mm puts out.

Any reason not to go for it?

 

[aaron580]

Nope

 

[cedartop]

Nope

Nope here as well.

 

[gcoop]

Not for the first Glock if this is the case.

I got one of the first produced when they first came out. Been a faithful companion all that time. I now own three.

 

[koutsevil]

Nope! Go for it! Baby Bros first Glock was a 29. He loves it. Buying a Glock is never a bad thing.

If you don't reload, finding quality 10mm is probably more difficult than your common calibers. I've never owned anything in 10mm, but from what I understand most factory 10mm ammo is pretty mild. Underwood Ammo would be a good source of full power loads...I'm sure there are others.

What makes this a bad first glock to get ?

I reload and from what i've seen lately, Starline 10mm brass has been in stock.

Niche caliber.

Even if you do find ammo (and can afford it) chances are it isn't any more effective as a SD round than a 40.

Most bullet construction in 10mm/40 is designed and manufactured at 40 velocities, not hot 10mm.

Sure, you can find hot 10mm, but if its HP it probably wasn't intended for 10mm velocity.

Don't do it! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

Don't do it! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

Go for it, you have to have something to keep you from being perfect.

Wrong on all accounts! Your comments sound just like the BS found in a lot of gun shops! You wouldn't happen to be a .357sig fan would you...

.......Uhhhhh.....
Beg ta differ,dude.......a .40 ain't nuth'n but a 10mm with it's nutz cut out.......big-azz differnce 'tween 1050 fps an' 15-1600 fps......it'a outshoot .357.......it'a outshoot .45 Super........

An' ya prolly need ta shop the 10mm ammo other places than Wallyworld or RuralKing........

Can an unmodified glock (factory barrel) handle the hotter 10mm loads ?
