The development of the 10mm round is actually an interesting story that dates back to the 1970s. That’s a lot of power and firepower in a very small concealable package. That’s not bad considering you have 10+1 rounds on tap. The 10mm G29 is also Glock’s most powerful compact pistol, capable of delivering 600-800 ft/lbs of energy depending on the ammo you feed it. Though the G29 is actually about 1/4-inch shorter than the G19, the reality is that the G29 is like a G19 9mm that has overindulged a bit at the pasta bar one to many times. The G29 is in essence a G19 in 10mm and is Glock’s “compact 10mm” pistol. At that predictable and yawn-able moment of the G43 introduction, where we all exclaimed “good lord, finally,” my mind was thinking about a G29. At that time I was one of only eleven editors invited to the unveiling of the secret release of the Glock G43. During my behind the scenes tour of the US Glock factory, I saw a lot of things, and many things drifted through my mind.
