Glock 29

History

The Glock 29 (also known as the "Multipurpose 10") is similar in shape to other Glock pistols in many respects and is classified as a subcompact. The Glock 29 shares characteristics with the similar Glock 30, the only difference being the choice of caliber (the Glock 30 has an ACP of 0.45). Like other pistols in the Glock family, the Glock 29 is produced by the Austrian concern Glock Ltd. The pistol comes in the standard 10mm AUTO cartridge format with a 10-round magazine (15-round magazine is optional).

The mechanism of action is based on the recoil/double-acting principle, combined with a 10mm cartridge, resulting in a rather powerful pistol considering the "ultra-compact" classification of the type. Dual recoil springs are used in the design to dampen the recoil effect.

Externally, the Glock 29 looks similar to previous Glock products. The design is ergonomic with clean and crisp lines. The chute is plate-like with a flat top and holds the sights on it. The curved trigger is located in a thick trigger ring in front of the pistol grip, which itself is a magazine.

From the beginning, the Glock 29 has been popular with security forces where a lightweight subminiature weapon - easily concealed - could be very effective. Pistols were also marketed as backup weapons for hunting to increase their appeal.

Operators love the portable size and ergonomic ideas of this sturdy little gun, especially compared to other larger and heavier products that perform the same task.

Overall, the Glock 29 has a barrel length of 172mm and a barrel length of 96mm. It weighs 700 grams empty and almost 935 grams fully loaded.
