10mm for Concealed Carry: Glock 29

[@gabrielchavarria22]

You should try the 10mm Liberty Civil Defense 60gr rounds. They boast 2400fps and 740fpe with massive fragmentation and 38% reduced felt recoil. Amazing carry rounds.

[@astruxium]

Second this! I got some of these rounds and the stats are certainly impressive not to mention they run great. I'd love to see a comparison with other really good carry rounds

[@gregyoder6400]

Until you cross a bear, personal defense should be able to take down a wide range of things, including a large bear. And a 40 and a 45 isn’t enough for bear defense.

[@arguy3297]

​@@gregyoder6400 it's common practice to carry different rounds for woods vs in town carry. Most people don't want heavy penetration for personal protection.

[@ExSoldier762]

Since retiring from Miami, FL to East Tennessee three years ago, I have upped my carry options from the 45ACP to the 10mm. That’s for two reasons. First, I travel the mountains regularly and we have had a considerable spike in negative human/black bear interactions over the last three years. Second, whereas Miami is the home of near perfect low fat bodies, East Tennessee is pretty much the exact opposite. I’m more likely to be accosted by an individual weighing in the 325 or much more pound range than the leaner body mass of the typical Miami bad guy. I know because I was once a State of Florida Parole Officer and I have 35 years experience as an NRA Instructor and competitive shooter. I carry either a Glock M29 or a full size Springfield Armory 1911 TRP with green CT Laser Grips.

Fantastic video and information. You answered my questions and gave me a lot to think about. Thank you!

[@rodney5269]

I got a g23 with a g19 upper and g19 ejector so I can shoot 9mm reliably also. I chose the g23 because 40sw is my do it all cartridge for home defense, edc and woods (no grizzlies in my area) because 40sw is very versatile with its grain sizes (even has subsonic for suppression), and capacity is very close to 9mm. I pack a 22 ground mag of 200 grain hardcast 40sw just in case I run into a black bear. It will do the job for black bears. I use 9mm for range and SHTF because 9mm is probably all you can find in a SHTF situation and it is the cheapest to shoot. I though about owning a 10 mm glock so I can have 10 mm and 40 sw in one gun, but I thought 9mm is more important, so g23 was my logical choice because I just wanted one gun. Even if I were in grizzly territory, I wouldn't feel safe with a 10 mm, a bare minimum for me would be a semi-auto shotgun, not even a pump, when a bear charges you cant get off enough shots with a pump especially for a griz.

[@roosterfish3248]

I totally agree with your logic. I have a glock 23 with a 9mm conversion. I reload .40, and with a midrange load of longshot powder, I get 1250 fps with 155 gtain xtp bullets. It ain't 10mm, but plenty power. I shot a hog in the hip about a week ago, and the bullet lodged in the opposite side shoulder, expanded nicely. He didn't take another step. Anyway, I think the glock 23 with a 9mm conversion is about the most practical, versatile set up you can get.

[@jasonlommen4769]

Good video. Huge 10mm fan here. G29 is my edc and G40 is my nightstand/woods gun. I live in Griz country. I never leave home without my BB 220 HC rounds! New sub.

[@scubaguy007]

The Glock 19 and the Glock 29 are basically the same size, and I totally agree, carrying a 10mm is a lot like carrying a .357. I carry a 9mm because I know under stress my groups with a 9mm will be much better than my .357, I love my 3" 686+ but more rounds are more better in today’s mob mentality environment. First I try to avoid going anywhere the crowds might turn violent, but I watched Reginald Denny get the shit beat out of them at an intersection and there was only four people there attacking him. That was 30 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. So 15 rounds in the gun is my minimum. I’d rather have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

[@TheEndOfYou2]

Really enjoyed your video. Glock 29 is one of my CCWs. The only thing is that you should not use an aftermarket barrel for 2 legged critters. For bear and other wildlife absolutely. But soon as a prosecutor sees that it's been switched, it opens a whole new can of worms. You shouldn't ever need an AMB for defense. Just wouldn't want you all to go through the trials and tribulations others have went through. It's exhausting, expensive and life altering. Stay safe and God bless you all.

[@cousinfuzzy4544]

I carry a s&w shield in 40 cal in the summer time when clothing is lighter. In the cooler months I carry a glock 29. Underwood 165,s in the glock and Winchester 180 rangers in the shield not much difference in the recoil. Either one takes some practice to tame for follow ups but it’s not that bad. I’m comfortable carrying either and both run 100 percent with the stated rounds. God forbid I should ever need to use one but if it came down to it I have faith in either gun and either round.

Thank you for watching and subscribing!

[@frankbrowning328]

YES! Exactly! Run a 10mm as a 10mm. There's nothing wrong with the 10mm or the 40 S&W. Use them accordingly. People who say "well I shoot a 10mm" and then use 180 gr bullets at 1000 fps are shooting 40 S&W performance rounds. I have a few 40 S&W pistols and at some point I'll also have at least 1 10mm but the 10mm will never be loaded with ammo at a 40 S&W level. I've got a few 44 mags and when I want lower performance I use 44 specials, likewise I have several 357 mags and I shoot 38 specials through them when I want/need less performance. Because these are revolver cartridges I can shoot them in the same gun. 40 S&W used interchangeably in a 10mm chamber of the same auto pistol.....that is a controversial subject. I know people shoot 40 S&W ammo in 10mm Glocks with success but the 40 S&W has to then headspace on the extractor and not (as designed) on the case mouth.

[@thegundungeon]

Yes when running 10, use real 10 or just go 40 and have more options in firearms lol

[@alecswann7234]

@@thegundungeon That is not realistic for most people. In fact, there are very good reasons to run light 10mm in a Glock 20 (or any 10mm). A. Many people can't afford multiple guns. One is it, and the 10mm can go from light to heavy. The beauty of the Glock 20/29 is with a barrel change you can shoot 40 S&W. In my state California, you cannot buy ammo online. Totally illegal. I just checked prices and availability at local gun stores in my area. Only one has 9mm -- at 60 cents a round and its maybe available. No 45 ACP (running around 80/90 cents a round when available briefly), no .357 ($1 a round), 10mm watered down Fiocchi is about 80 cents a round, same as .38 special when available, .40 is around 70 cents a round. B. They may be running defensive ammo with bullets designed for .40 S&W velocities not true 10mm, and that's all they can get. C. They can't afford new guns and this one has to last, true .40 S&W guns get beat up save pricey H&K or the 10mm Glocks which can handle it. D. They will mostly trade off in carry velocity for accuracy, but want the option (flexibility) of running high velocity hardcast in bear country, around pigs, etc.

For a lot of people like Larry Magill of the Glock store it makes far more sense to carry Condition Three, the way the gun was designed to be carried (as a sidearm for the Austrian Military). A Glock is a poor choice for rapid deployment. It has a five pound trigger. YOU might be comfortable carrying that pointed straight at your femoral artery relying solely on the holster to keep the trigger from being pulled, I am not given how and where I carry. I would suggest that situational awareness is more important than a fast draw.

I think you nailed the versatility of the cartridge and platform. People love .357 magnum revolvers as they can do bear defense (black ones anyway, not sure about browns) or hunt pigs and definitely deer, or can be loaded lighter with .38 special and still perform well. The Glock 29 with a .40 barrel and one aftermarket 10 lets you shoot heavy cast lead Buffalo Bore monsters, soft 40 S&W, and anything in between. I think however the light 9mm are an experts gun like the airweight J frames. They are hard to shoot, jam a LOT, and have very marginal ballistic performance at those barrel lengths. Just like .38 special is just fine out of a 6 inch barrel for many purposes and "ok" in a 4 inch barrel, miserable often in a 1.78 inch barrel, so too is the 9mm great in a 5 inch barrel from say a M&P full size and not very great in a mini 9.

The Sig Elite ammo is 1250fps from a 5” barrel. There’s no .40SW that even comes close to that. The Sig ammo is a mid power ammo. Underwood exceeds the original Norma loadings from a Glock 20 but you lose allot of velocity from the short G29 barrel.

[@fullbloodedchristian9206]

I was gonna say... Yeah sig ammo is the wrong comparison. I actually would carry the sig fmj 180g for all around duty. And it's a full power load. Underwood is actually a plus p load.

[@fullbloodedchristian9206]

@@johnklatt3522 I sere. However you don't need more than 155 grain going 1500 fps. Id go lighter, always. and I would never use hollow points or any sort of expanding design bullets. They have always been controversial and have had years of intermittent issues. I don't use heavy round. The technique is now understood much better. The ideas of bullets needed to be heavy is not only wrong, it's archaic and foolish. Speed is what makes bullets work in the first place, so increased speed makes them work better. I use 111 (1700 fps) grain Hunter 45acp. it makes 700 pounds of energy which is more than some warm 10mm rounds. If I was to use 10mm, I'd stay with the 100 grain defender. There are many advantages to using lighter rounds. and the reason you don't want to be making any more power is because the operation of the pistol will be compromised. The weapon is designed with in a realm pressures and power guidelines. increased ability to stay on target and complete follow-up shots is also important. More power isn't always better. My lighter rounds allow me to operate my system much more efficiently. I can travel and move faster, & my load is much lighter. I can also keep my weapon on target longer and draw my quicker. Every single thing as an advantage when you go to the lighter rounds.

[@fullbloodedchristian9206]

@@johnklatt3522 yeah I mean if they work reliably than you're good to go. But all the times I've seen failures it's always with some hollow point. Also. if I were to get a 10mm carbine, I'd be up to 44 Magnum power with the lighter rounds...

I had trouble hearing what you were saying sometimes. How bad is the kick of the 29 relative to say a glock 40?

[@thegundungeon]

It’s honestly a subjective statement but I can tell you I can tell a difference between the xdm 4.5 10 full size and the g29. Everyone is gonna be different though, it may be a lot to you or a little, I can’t say realistically. What I can say is I personally compare it to a 6” n frame 357 shooting full house vs a 4” k frame with full house 357. Best description I can give.

It is dimensionally identical to the g30, a real 10mm round will produce more recoil than 45acp though.

Buffalo Bore 180 gr. would have given you an additional 100+ fps, as chronographed from my G29 with a KKM barrel.

I’ve tested some. It does really good, the underwood seems to do better with semi auto cartridges though. Buffalo bore walks the dog on anyone with revolver rounds.

[@pkjdm]

10 mm real loads out of 5 inch = 200 grain at 1250 fps/ 180 grain at 1350 fps/ 155 grain at 1500 fps.....

[@thegundungeon]

Very true. These handloads do get above 1300 in a 4.5. But yes you are correct. I have some 200g xtp handloads that get 1200+ from the same 4.5” barrel

Civil defense 10 mm is 2400 FPS 60 grain frangible

[@justinkase1360]

You also shoot 180gr bullets apparently. It seems to me that the lighter 10mm loads would recoil less, even if they have the same energy. I know they make 130gr loads that are relatively normal designs, along with some really light loads that I'm less sure about ballistically. I'm personally looking for something more powerful than 9mm for carry and I'm considering my options. I wish they made the G29 MOS, I worry that if i buy one now they might come out with an mOS version. Honestly though, it seems like they aren't going to bother.

@@joshp7819 I've actually looked into it a bit when it happened and that's just the BS line they threw out there. They employ a guy to lobby for them, he does what they want. THey knew what was in the bill and had been opposing it. If they didn't know what was in it, they would not have changed their position. After they were given special treatment, told that the bill would not be applied to them, they publically dropped their opposition to the bill and it then passed. Luckily it was vetoed. I have zero tolerance for such things and I put my money where my mouth is when it comes to the 2A. When the NRA took the wrong position on bumpstocks, I knew I would never donate to them and I went and donated almost $2k to other 2A organizations. All that said, I'm not going to say it's wrong for others to but SA products, that's a personally decisions, even if I would prefer they didn't do so. The main thing that pisses me off is that they refuse to admit that they knew what they were doing, still to this day. THAT is not a mistake.

You want hot 10mm loads go to underwood or buffalo bore. that comes with any round.

[@reekgoesoutside]

The G29 is my edc, I also often carry the G20. I'll shoot 40 at the range when 10 range is hard to find or 40 bucks a box but the accuracy is all over the place. My carry load is 180 underwoods which is pretty potent even out of the shorter barrel.

[@biggunshandguns3687]

You a very key point that I very seriously doubt people take seriously and lie about there skill.you need to train a lot if you plan to carry a 10mm and use full house loads. I know for a fact that people always think they are better than they really are. I see it every week at a steel plate match. People will talk up their skill level then go shoot at a 8 inch plate at 13yds and maybe hit 2 out of 6. Just the tiny amount of pressure that a clock adds will make a average shooter and make him look like a beginner. So the key is train and train a lot. My personal opinion on all these super tiny 9mm and guns like the glock 40 cal 27 are a joke. I have carried a full size all steel 1911 in 45 for the last 22 years. It's what I shoot best and what I have the most muscle memory with. Clint Smith the owner of thunder ranch put it best. Your carry gun should be comforting not comfortable. That's coming from a man that has been there done that more than once and has the scars to prove it. Carry what you want but train till your up to your ass in brass.

[@jasonlommen4769]

You’re not wrong, but HC is for game, whether it be hunting or more likely bear protection. HC is meant to smash bone, tendons, ligaments, etc. without deforming, all while keeping its weight retention. HC would go through a human like butter, you’d better be dam sure about your backdrop. It’ll smash through walls with ease.

[@tyrellbeckham9090]

Soo your telling me you can shoot 40 cal out of the 29

I do with no problems. I wouldn’t recommend carrying 40 in a 10 for any defensive purposes but it shoots 40 just fine. Expect extractor wear though, as that’s what’s holding the case to the breach face for striker impact.

I don’t get the “recoil “ hype with 10mm. It’s negligible. If you’re an inexperienced shooter then maybe.
