Glock 29 Gen5

Glock Ges.m.b.H. · Pistol · In Production · 1996

Also known as: G29, Glock 29

Overview

The Glock 29 is a subcompact, striker-fired pistol chambered in 10mm Auto, introduced in 1996 as a concealable companion to the full-size Glock 20. It delivers the high power of the 10mm cartridge in a frame small enough for concealed carry and outdoor use, making it a popular choice for backcountry defense. The Gen5 adds the Glock Marksman Barrel, an ambidextrous slide stop, front serrations, and the rough-textured Gen5 frame with the finger grooves removed.
