I've had my G29 for about 4 months, and it has become my main carry for most situations. It's my first Glock, but it didn't take much time to get used to the feel and function of it.
Having long fingers, the grip width wasn't a problem, but the Pierce extensions were a must.
Recoil isn't much different from my Delta Gold Cup 10mm or my Ruger Security Six .357...there is a different 'feel' between 10mm and .357 recoil, but in the G29 it's perfectly manageable. I shoot as good 'double-taps'(2 shots-not the ammo
) with the G29 as with the others.
It handles the DoubleTap 200gr Beartooth rnd easily...a good woods/hiking rnd.
Accuracy is excellent at 7-10 yards...I didn't shoot much out of the factory barrel, but the KKM barrel I put in is very good.
At 25yds it's not so good...that's probably because I only have around 500 rnds experience with it.
The Meprolight sites I had put on shoot POA at 10 yards, but at 25 yards I'm shooting 8"+...can't even call them groups...while I consistently shoot 2-3" groups with the Delta and Ruger.
I imagine more practice with the G29 will improve my longer range shooting, even with the shorter barrel.
All in all, I think the G29 is an excellent choice!!
