Seems these things are just popping up everywhere...just took possession of mine this afternoon...





My first 10 rounds in the few minutes I had left at the range were with Rem UMC 180 gr FMJ--not bad ammo at all, actually--at 7 yds. Not too sure what the complaint is with Glock triggers--while this is a pound heavier than I'm used to, I see no reason to change it at all--it's a fine trigger to my mind.

And was I smilin' as I packed up my range bag. I shot it with the stock magazine base plates so I would have liked just a little less rotation, but the gun gets back on target just as fast as I get any other gun I own back on target--the level playing field of course being the stipulation of shooting 'real' ammo and not action game loads.

I believe it's true: if you don't have one of these, you've got a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

I'll grind off the finger hook and relieve the curve where the trigger guard meets the grip to ease up the pressure on my strong hand middle finger, and I think I'll be even happier. So, here's one more "I don't like Glocks" guy pretty much in heaven--I might even be able to look at it from time to time and not turn to stone.

And now, in 'downtown' configuration:

Nice... you finally got it!! it didn't take you long to trick that thing out. Did you happen to notice the test fire date on the envelope? Mine was 3/13 and it has the newer RSA. Congrats bud.....BTW, what holster is that? I ordered a crossbreed Supertuck today for mine.

[Bongo Boy]

The date on the envelope is '03-01-2013', so Mar 1 if it was tested in the US, Jan 3 if dated in Germany, I suppose. I would expect January to be the more likely date, but I don't know.

The holster is one of two that also arrived today from International Handgun Leather out of Phoenix AZ, and now the 3rd one I own I bought my first one about 10 months ago for my Kahr K40 and loved it--fits the gun, and me, like a glove. I can't say I'm a big leather holster guy, but I now own this model for the K40, the M&P 45 Compact and of course, the G29. Excellent products.

[Taterhead]

Excellent! Congratulations. I will have one to go with my G20 as soon as I clear some other projects. I haven't bought factory range ammo for years, but I agree that UMC is quality ammo.

Hopefully you will reload for the 29 so that you can afford to shoot it a lot.

[nickE10mm]

Nice! Listen to Tater when he says "reload, so you can shoot it more!" ....I think the reason I sold my last TWO G29's was because I used to pay so much for the ammo I bought that I didn't have money to shoot them as much as I got to shoot my longslides 10mm's and 1911 10mm's... so I consolidated. :( Now that I reload, I shoot my newest G29sf every time I hit the range... for pennies!

[Bongo Boy]

Oh absolutely on the reloading. This 10mm stuff is the first commercial ammo I've shot in probably 6 years, except for the last of my Gold Dots for the 45. I'd not be able to shoot at all if I didn't reload. Just threw a couple hundred 180gr TC lead downrange a few minutes ago, all of it through the stock barrel. As I fully expected, no problems whatsoever and no visible buildup. Nice loads--about 7.6 gr 4756. I just got another 1,000 cases from Starline--bless those guys--and at this point have about 4,000 empty cases laying around asking to be loaded. It'll be a busy weekend if the Chief doesn't assign me too many details.

[Bongo Boy]

THanks for the kind words. After another 100 rds, it's pretty clear that trigger is going to need just a little bit of work. But still, maybe about 1.5 lb off the pull and some polishing here and there, I think I'll be happy.

In the meantime, preliminary work on the trigger guard. I'm just going to tidyup the radius on the edges all the way around, polish a little bit with 440 and call it done.

Very nice

Congrats!
