Everything about Glock 29

About Glock 29

The Glock 29 is a semi-automatic pistol that was introduced to the market in 1997 as a 10mm version of the subcompact Glock 26. It can be used as  a concealed carry firearm because of its small size, high concealability and a strong .10mm caliber. The gun is made of polymer with interchangeable grips. The Glock 29 was originally made by the Norma and chambered in the Bren Ten pistol, the 10mm Auto.

Whereas the Bren Ten was not so successful, the 10mm cartridge became very popular. One of the greatest achievements of this gun model is that even the FBI announced the 29, 10mm Auto as their official sidearm. The cartridge has proven itself over the time; however many felt that this cartridge was a little bit long for semi-auto pistols. It makes the pistol grip a little bigger for some comfort levels. Glock 29 as well as many other Glocks are available in different versions, or generations, the shifts from generation to generation are achieved by the improvement of the parts of the gun. All these improvements are upgrading performance, reliability and/or allow for easier handling, operation and recoil minimization.
