Glock 29 10mm

[@dustinsmith863]

I love it because whenever I have a question regarding a firearm, or want to see it shot, you've got the video I need. You're the man

[@hickok45]

Thanks. Yes, I handload for the 10mm. I don't carry the 10mm, so I've not investigated carry rounds. It's a very powerful round; consequently, there are some controversial issues about even carrying it for defense, other than in bear country or something. Any quality carry ammo should do just fine. I like Gold Dots.

@brubash , No, I don't unload and reload magazines. I've never used the extensions - don't care for them.

[@hickok45]

I like them all, especially the G26/G27 and the G19/G23.

Me too

[@Apolyion]

Hello Greg and thank you for an endless supply of informative videos. I always reference you before I make a purchase. I'm a retired N.Y.P.D. Detective. I carry both the 19 and the 29. The 19 is by far the most on-point and enjoyable gun to shoot for me personally. The 29 is basically a hand cannon but will take care of any threat both 2 and 4 legged. I have to remind myself at the range, when using the 29, that I need to focus a bit harder and remember it's not the 19 by a long stretch....lol. I live in Florida now so depending on what I'm doing that day, will determine what I'm carrying. The 29 brings more power than a 357 Magnum or .45 acp and believe me, I know it as soon as I squeeze that trigger. ;) Thank you for this video. God Bless and continued success. -Patrick

Glad I came across this video. Considering the G29 and watching you shoot it made any hesitation I had go away. Thanks for your time putting this on the web. Much appreciated!

[@hickok45]

The Great state of Tennessee!

[@hickok45]

Depends on how much you shoot/practice. The "overkill" could haunt you in court if it every came to that. Some won't carry a 10mm for that reason.

[@jasonkimba]

Just got the 29 SF and I love it. I've always been a 1911 person, but this is the perfect Backpacking gun.10 rounds of 10mm in a small durable package.

[@hickok45]

I'd say it's similar to a .45 ACP 1911. Very easy to control, however.

[@ollythebest94]

Thanks. I've noticed quite a few folks on here who are even less mature than I am! Some of them are not doing much for the 2nd amendment cause, I'm afraid.

[@kendallbrown1316]

I only started watching Hickok45s videos about a year ago. And looking back I think this is the first one he actually calls himself "Hickok45" He has really developed charisma between 2009 and 2022.

[@GeorgiaMade404]

Can't believe this vid is almost 10 years old! Keep up the hard work Sir! I'm in the market for a Gen 4 G29, hoping that make a Gen 5 soon.

[@longlivequono7119]

i’ll pay top dollar for a 29 gen 5 10mm

[@briangoad8579]

Just picked up a gen 4 g29 yesterday im excited to shoot in the morning

[@zstidsen]

Love this g29. I am not a glock guy, but I bought this gun for woods carry while I walk my dog through trails at my home. Put a few hundred rounds of various specs, and it fed flawlessly. I am a big guy, and it pocket carries very well for me with a sticky holster. The capacity and concealability are why I choose to carry this over my full size 1911 In 10mm, or my .357/.44 wheel guns. Enough power for bear repellant, but easy to carry in my pocket. Recoil is as you would expect of a compact 10mm, but not bad. My 11 year old son shoots it without a problem. As far as power and conceal, this is the best gun in its class. If you spend any amount of time with this firearm, you will soon learn its characteristics, and become comfortable with it.

[@ptalley316]

Just got mine and I absolutely love it!! Had never shot one and was kinda worried that it would be punishing to shoot, but it’s awesome, obviously takes some practice…but great:)

[@josephmeador1529]

I went to the range with a Glock 29 last week and after the first 5 rounds at ten yards, I only had two holes in the 10 ring and it looked like I missed with the other three shots. I brought in the target … it wasn't 2 bulls-eyes and 3 misses … it was 5 shots through two holes! I am thinking of selling the rest of my Glocks but I haven't been able to do it just yet. This is the only gun you need - you can hunt moose, defend against a Polar Bear, or shoot .40 JHP for personal defense - the world is yours.

[@jafarraheem2284]

Gen3, sf, or gen4? Have u had any malfunctions?

[@lilmama18042004]

I feel sorry for any body who ever tries to harm this guy best shooter I’ve seen

[@hickok45]

Depending on where you're from, 9mm "should" be the easiest to find generally, and the least expensive; however, .40 is not that much more. The problem right now is that the availability and price situation is an aberration ( I hope!). You might not want to base your entire decision on today's situation.

[@hickok45]

I've probably only shot it about 300 times at this point. I expect it to last longer than I do, however.

[@hickok45]

I have a large hand, but I avoid putting any grip at all on the extended magazines. I keep my hand/fingers off them.

[@hickok45]

@eamonher , Not sure. I load a pretty stiff load and buy very little factory ammo.

[@hickok45]

No, the sights have nothing to do with it. I just wasn't shooting as well as I normally do. I do better in the Glock 29 (Chapter 2) video, I think.

[@jondon205]

I apreciate you sharing all your knowledge and experience, i had learn so much about firearms since i started watching your videos, its good to see how much you enjoy,and the love that you have for the sport, always safety being first, and the walkthrough on every single video great job and thanks again.

[@workingr]

If you compare this video, to your current ones, you can definitely tell you have gotten better. Nothing wrong with this video btw. Good shootin !

[@michaelrichey6783]

Yep, the only thing that's gotten better was the camera quality. He's always been the same best.

[@hickok45]

[@aaronpickering4505]

I am thinking about getting one. If I do its going to be my first Glock ever

[@hickok45]

Double Tap is a company that loads especially warm 10mm rounds. It probably sounds as though I shoot just a couple of them because of the power/recoil. IT's not that; it's that I don't wan't to waste expensive ammo on steel targets, unless a huge Wild Boar runs out of the woods and onto the range, of course! :-)

[@hickok45]

As you can see, I shoot lots of different guns and calibers. I just have never felt the need to add the .357 Sig caliber.

[@jdumlao3]

SOLD - I bought one. Thanks for the Video -

[@357mag84]

I remember watching this video when it first came out. I had a Ruger LCP, Ruger LC9, XDM .45 and S&W 60 2 inch. I thought that a G29 would be the ultimate pistol. I wasnt able to get one until 2013. I probably have 60-70 firearms today, but I still love my G29. Thanks Hickok!

[@robtbomba3491]

I do CCW with my 29sf. There's nothing I don't like about this handgun, and I shoot well with it, probably because I like the bulkiness and weight of it, plus I know that it will do its work. This is a serious handgun.

[@seanvine39]

Wolff guide rod and recoil springs...a must, especially if you're shooting fully loaded 10. A 21 lb or 23 if you're shooting anything over 200 grain.

[@lawbrewer]

Love my 29 , i remember when i bought it my daughter shot it when she was 15 with no problem. Recoil is not bad for the firepower you get.

[@hickok45]

You mean an M1-A, or a real M14? I thought at some point I'd do a military rifle video, at least with the ones I have, but the U.S. military hasn't delivered my M14 yet. I'm still waiting. :-)

[@SteveHolsten]

I get to lay my hands on my new Glock 29 Gen 4 tomorrow night, I can't wait!

[@janus2059]

You know where the spent casing gets ejected, the rectangular hole on the top of the slide? It's usually blocked by the chamber hood, part of the rear of the barrel. That hood fits in there tightly and so it's pulled back with the rest of the slide until the front lug (one of the little wing-like projections under the barrel) is caught and driven down a ramp below that is part of the receiver. That makes it tilt and unlock from the slide, and also opens up the "hole" to eject the spent casing.

[@hickok45]

Had a couple back in the '90's, but I found my Glocks easier to shoot well and eventually traded off my Sigs.

[@hickok45]

@rbelena , Wow, if they are tumbling at 7 yards, there is a serious problem. The bullets would have to be WAY undersized, I think.

[@janus2059]

The barrel slants upward because Glocks, and most other semi-auto pistols use the Browning tilting barrel mechanism, found on the 1911. In a Glock, it is slightly different, and there are other variations, but the point is to disengage the barrel from the slide. This is a short recoil operated design, where the barrel only recoils with the slide for a short distance, but the slide keeps on going, ejecting the case and chambering another on the way back. The barrel tilts out of the way to unlock.

[@slabsides1]

10mm is about the same in power as a 41 magnum revolver. Amazing shooting with such a small & powerful handgun.

[@hickok45]

I generally like to leave things pretty stock.

[@Charles120Guy]

hickok is my hero

[@hickok45]

@Tadpoleriver , Yep, I demonstrate some Double Tap 230 gr. 10mm in one of my videos.

[@hickok45]

Actually, tried a few rounds in my G20, and it does work; however, it's not advisable. It puts added pressure on the extractor, I understand. There are probably other good reasons not to do it. It WAS interesting because the .40 cartridge felt like a .22 Long Rifle in the G20!

[@hickok45]

Haven't done any of those. Even though I've done a fair amount of that in competition, I don't know that I can do anything all that special that isn't all over KZbin.

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

Good insightful video! If I could have only own one Glock 10mm, it would be the Glock 29 Gen 4! This is by far the most versatile multi purpose, universal Personal Safety Defensive Device available to date.

[@Hiker63]

I've got the 29 and 30. Both great guns but I favor the 29.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I sold my 30sf and have a 29sf coming. I'm finding that I like the 10mm round a lot. Nothing wrong with 45 acp, I have several guns in 45 still but the 10mm round is such a sweet shooter, damn accurate.

[@Hiker63]

pinkiewerewolf I'm sure by now you got your 29. What is your impression?

[@hickok45]

It might be good if you could rent one and shoot one first, but it's definitely a great gun. Expensive to shoot, but you'd probably like it. My only advice is to shoot as many guns as you can so that you can make an informed decision.

[@nubian1911]

It's because of you that I have the G17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30 and 36 ... Freaken epic. Glock needs to add you to their payroll if you have not already been added.

[@jafarraheem2284]

[@MrThaTank]

i agree 100% its the best design in my opinion no thrills or frills just straight to the point

[@MrBreadman03]

@mds29 re:tumbling. And maintenance. If you allow the barrel to become severely leaded, it can cause the barrel to essentially become a smoothbore.

[@bruceleroy60]

hickok45 ...you're the best ..man. I love your videos. I purchased the sig226 .40 cal .22 conversion kit . It was nothing problems. I had to lube the hell out of the rail and fill the Mag with only 5 shells just to get it to work. Tony

[@tiggerr42431]

This was a useful video actually to me to see you think through the shooting performance and made adjustments. All new shooters have to try and think through what does the pattern on the target tells me about the shooting performance. To see you work through the process on this video was as useful as if you had hit every one perfectly every time.

[@hickok45]

I've used this hold for many, many years. I have to use the crease of my trigger finger due to the size of my hands.

[@hickok45]

My guess is that if the G29 won't save you, the G20 won't either! :-) It should do as well as the G20. Testing shows that Glock barrels don't lose as much velocity in short barrels as do other, more conventional barrels. I've seen a couple of articles where this was tested.

[@Mr_Fu_Manchu]

Congrats , you are shooting very well with such a compact gun with powerful rounds .

[@Talkstoguns]

Dude! I didn't know you got out to TR. Cool! Been there too. Love your stuff. Thanks for the vids.

[@ky0611]

Unbelievable how good of a shot he is lol

[@nonwo10]

All things considered, that is the right choice. I bought, when I found out it was a male birth, a S&W M-18 for him. Then at 12yrs., I purchased a Colt M-1911 series 70. Not all fathers are into doing this especially in a lar. city. I'd opt for the M-29, 10mmA (as I do) since if you need to carry it, it would be easier. Then I'd buy reloading eq. to reload this caliber (Dillon or Hornady). Start by loading it down to .40S&W specs. Shoot many to find your next purchase.

[@glock19aog21]

Whenever I go to buy a new Glock I come to mr45 to get his blessing or not 🙏🏽👍🏽

[@jak3f]

@PinkOld I may be wrong here but I am pretty sure the bullet is long gone before the recoil has anything to do with affecting its accuracy. Especially the bullet 'exiting at a slightly higher angle.'

[@5h4d0w990]

S&W 610(?) Revolver was/is chambered for 10mm, and it IS considered ".40 S&W friendly" - you can moonclip .40 rounds into the cylinder in lieu of 10mm.

[@The3rdID]

Haha you hit the head right on the nail Hickok, everyone wants to see videos of their own guns. Also, there will NEVER be too many videos about guns haha.

[@rasey077]

@lethalweapon129 Tough question to answer because it depends. 10mm has more stopping power with the same type of round than a .45. Conversely, it also has a good bit more recoil and is harder to become proficient in. Take into consideration the cost of ammo being a good bit more than .45 and it makes sense for most people to stick to .45acp. Others however want the most stopping power possible and will go with 10mm. If you can do your own reloading and produce 10mm cheap, I say go for it.

[@Tarsarian]

I like how Hickok45 sands down his trigger guard to get a better grip.

[@nonwo10]

Geez, I'm grateful you take that position on the 2d Amend. Good for you & for us.

[@obafwb]

God forbid you ever had to shoot a person, do you think over penetration is something to really be concerned with? I have a 29 that I carry everyday. I wanted a handgun that could do everything I needed it to, and I take the family into areas with large predators for recreation quite often. A friend of mine told me that it's irresponsible to use a 10mm because of over penetration and the chance of injury by-standers if I ever had to use it on a human. Is he correct?

[@davidyee]

True that, i guess that's why the 9mm has been around for so long. Also larger, more exotic rounds are also more expensive, and not as common as a .22 magnum or .17 HMR. A little .22 LR pistol is all you need for protection against a mugging or an angry drunk, but a 9mm is better for a place where concealment and weight aren't an issue.

[@waseem1173]

the range looks so beautiful that time of the year.

[@DirtFlyer]

@eamonher I've looked into this myself also. From what I've read, the Winchester 175gr Silvertip and the DoubleTap 165gr round are loaded to there full potential for a 10mm round. Actually, I believe most all of the DoubleTap 10mm ammo is loaded pretty stout, but the 165 gr. seems to be the most lauded. Massad Ayoob has also said he uses the DoubleTap 165gr. in his 10mm. I've shot the Silvertips, and the gun is still well behaved and controllable for the power of the round.

[@-7-62]

Really love his videos, El Jefe, yet so humble..

[@mayheminnovember8402]

Hi there. I'm curious about the best way to get started on loading my own ammunition. What would you recommend? Thank you.

[@xb3ud]

man i love the sound of those 10mm hitting home :)

[@hickok45]

@MrThaTank , not unless I see a use for them, although I might purchase a .357 Sig barrel for one of my .40 Glocks sometime. That's all I need to have a .357 Sig.

[@SGIABC]

With advancements in ammunition and bonded-hollowpoints, a 127 gr. 9mm +P+ is plenty effective. It's ALL I carry. Some 9mm loads have comparable muzzle energy to that of a standard 230 gr. .45 load believe it or not.

[@lgassen231]

By reading these comments, it sounds like hickock45 needs to do a video on why the the 10mm can be so "powerful"! I consider .40 to be superior to.45 ballistically, and a 10mm cartridge is like a .40 with a longer casing, which translates to more powder/lead. I believe 10mm is one of the most powerful autoloading cartridges you can get in a smaller package. Can't wait to get a G29 or G29sf. Or maybe I just don't care for .45. haha

[@loganoleary3066]

[@notsobadguy312]

Hickock45 I'm a big glock fan myself. Im wondering what you think about S and W copying all the designs.I like the old smith revolvers the 29 or other similar models but with them making the same weapon it makes me not want anything Smith and Wesson except 70 and 80 s revolvers. What are your opinions on them. Didn't Glock sue them in the 90s of it,besides that I love all your videos and would like to meet you at Knob Creek this year if your there. I'm only an hour 15 away. So I'm taking my 3 boys this year. There old enough to have fun at the range.

[@eagleshadow2020]

Love the Glock 29

[@befr33]

@corndoggydawg I'm no expert, but from what I understand the 10mm is a more powerful round and therefore requires a sturdier barrel (and spring, and slide), and therefore also a sturdier frame to hold it all together. In early days of the 10mm pistol parts would crack. If anybody has a better answer, pls correct if I'm wrong.

[@HoomerbirdG2]
