Been looking for a 10mm for awhile and never liked glocks.. well I saw this compact 10mm and was thinking it would be a fun little carrying piece.. just wondering if anyone else has one and can share some info/thoughts about the G29 Thanks |

I've had one for several years now. I really like it. I got it because I already had a older 20 and wanted something smaller and as powerful. In the shop where I got it, it was side by side with the Glock 30 in .45 and was about $30-$40 less than the 30. After I paid for it, I asked why. Him say "10MM not so popular" which was good for me, even got a box of ammo from him. I don't think you can go wrong with one, I just wish I could try a compensated model 29 if they make it. Good Luck. MM419 |

Same as Minuteman: I've have a G29 also... but started with a G20. The Glock 20 is excelellent, just not easy to carry all the time, so when the Glock 29 was released, I had to have one. It is great for carry, easy to handle and fun at the range, with all the various loads available it s even more fun. If you do decide to get a G29, go with a Wolf spring combo it helps when using the hotter loads :) Check out Robarguns.com for customizing it, and give the Hornady 180gr XTP a try, the G29 Loves them.

Just got my Gunshop to order me a G29.. picked up 2 10rd 10mm factory glock mags for 15 a piece and a box of UMC 180gr for 15 bucks/50rds.. the rounds are nickleplated.. so i'm sure that added another dollar or 2 to the price of the rounds.. How much should this pistol be NIB straight from Glock? They said it SHOULD be here tomorrow afternoon.. |
| My gunshop told me it would be around 599 or so for the G29.. they are always fuking high!.. my bushy M4 was around 999 also.. I think i'm gonna have to have a chat about this Glock being 600 bucks.. hell the glock 17 and 19 america's heroes versions are 599 .. WTF |

Find out how much they will charge to receive one and transfer it to you for. They usually have a set fee, or percentage. Then find it elsewhere (for less) and have it sent to them. It helps to have a somewhat "Relationship" with a Dealer, or FFL holder. Also let them know full well that you shop around and don't mind travelling to save cabbage. Mine was less than $480 by the way, new. MM419 |
| I'm probably my gunshops number one customer.. I buy something everytime I go in their just about.. they call me by my first name when I walk in.. and even party with some of them..their FFL fee is horrible.. its 25 bucks or 10% whichever is greater.. my HK .357sig I bought from a gunstore in CT costs me 70 bucks to transfer it.. I need to find another FFL or open my own.. 500 bucks a year isn't bad at all.. |

Verm: That sucks... I was having the same prob, with a local FFL charging too much even after I had brought from them before. Now I shop elsewhere and get treated right. Minute: $480.. You crook hat Any sources for Mags at good prices?? Projectile |

Verm: Get them at: www.gunsprings.com/SemiAuto/1ndex_menu2NOF.html= http://www.gunsprings.com/SemiAuto/1ndex_menu2NOF.html Wolff springs do help the felt recoil, get the springs/Guide combo, makes installing the parts a snap. Regards, Projectile |
