Factor in its versatility and it can be a couple pistols its self. Simple barrel swaps negate the only downsides to the 29 being chambered in a less common caliber.

Yeah, a S&W Model 29 6 1/2" barrel and blued finish would my choice over a Glock 29 any day. Ha!

I keep mine bedside in a Bug out bag. With extra magazines with JFP Double Tap loads.

It has become too thick and heavy for a daily carry now a days. But if I go out on a day trip or ??? It always goes along. I would like to see what a SF would feel like in my hands these days. My only mod to it was a Side Clip. When they first came out.

I use a 4.6'' 10mm barrel and it has
the same power as my g20/4 and SF.
The G20 magazine will add a few rounds, too.

I have a KKM G21-10mm 6" barrel on order for my Gen 2 G21/20 in anticipation of a TX hog hunt with my son. Lots of available options with these pistols.

My 29sf is my EDC for the last 6 years. It feel small and light to me, as I carried a G20 with +2 mags for 20 years. I have no issues with it as an EDC and highly recommend it to anyone so inclined. I have several barrel and calibers options for it and it's big brother. I love the power and handling of it. Can I shoot a 9mm Faster? Yes, but I am as likely to run a fowl of a large hairy as a 2 legged problem where I live and work. That is why I prefer 10mm!

I love my 29, I bought it as a backup for bear when I went to Alaska. Its my go-to gun when I'm out in the desert, but it is a little bulky IMO for everyday carry. Buying the .40 barrel was the best decision ever because it can get a little expensive to shoot 10 mm all the time, plus its just not that fun after awhile. :)

I have 3 KKM barrels for mine. The 4.6 inch, standard 3.73 inch and a .40S&W conversion. The 4.6 inch turns it into an 11 round G20. Great Platform.

I have a Gen 4 29, wish it was a SF, but it isn't. I will not sell or trade it though, pretty soft shooting with 155 grain XTP's from Underwood. I have a 40 conversion barrel that I have not yet tried. I might add a 29SF, but keep what I have.

I've always carried a G27. I bought a 29sf but found it way to thick for me to carry IWB. It was also a handful to shoot with full power ammo. but deadly accurate. I do have my G20sf that is fun to shoot and reload for. I sold the 29sf when there was a gun and ammo buying frenzy after one of the school shootings.

For those who enjoy various calibers, 10mm makes the short-list. A breed apart. 29...20...good things come in pairs!
perfect!
covers all the bases!
reload, shoot, carry.

I like my Gen 3 Glock 29, but it's a hand full.

Grip tape and pinky extensions I chose.
sent mine to MagNaPort.
made a big difference. especially for my ancient hands full of arthritis.
G29 is an all purpose everyday option. if i need more than this, call out the Marines.

I've done the 29 thing several times over and I just can't warm up to it. It's not a "bad" gun, but I just generally don't like the size of the 29/30, for me they feel too fat. Compare a 23 to a 29 and it's night and day, especially Gen4.

I'm not the world biggest 10mm fan, but I do like it. That said, if you want 10mm I'd stick with either a G20 or a G40. Anything smaller than the G20 and, to me, might as well get a G23.

The gen4s are the same frame size as the gen3 SF.... Unless you're referring to the texture.
