While 10mm has never become the world standard for handgun cartridges, the Glock 29 is chambered in this powerful round in an attempt to give the user a relatively powerful handgun in a smaller package. Thus, the 10mm, which promised the greatest stopping power over other contemporary handgun cartridges, as well as greater muzzle velocity than 9mm when shot out of a barrel of the same length, was beginning to catch on for a brief period in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Over forty years later, you can still buy a Glock 17 that looks and functions nearly the same as the original design, though they’ve also spent the past 40 years making the product better generationally. ![]() In response to an Austrian military competition to replace the Walther P38, Gaston Glock submitted his Glock 17: a 9mm handgun with a polymer frame, fired by a striker and with the safety built into the trigger. Other companies do it differently, and they make one thing exceptionally well. Whether it’s a machine gun, a pistol, or a bolt action rifle, Browning has made, makes, and will continue to make something for you. Some companies make lots of things and do all of them pretty well.

If you’ve decided, after our quick look at it, that you’d like to try to buy a Glock 29, we’ll also have some useful advice for finding one at a reasonable price, and then keeping it fed with 10mm ammo without needing to take out a second mortgage on your home.Īside from concealed carry, we also want to spend some time going over some other potential use cases for the Glock 29, as well as discussing its various generational changes to improve on ergonomics and reduce a few problems that occurred in the earlier generations.
