About This Firearm
The Glock G29 Gen5 is a subcompact striker-fired 10mm built for concealed woods carry. It is current in Glock's lineup. The 3.78-inch barrel brings the whole pistol to 6.93 inches and 26.81 oz, which is short enough to carry inside the waistband under a shirt and still fire a full-power cartridge.
Three 10-round magazines come with it, plus backstraps, a magazine loader, a cleaning rod, a cable lock and a case. The trigger breaks at 5.8 lb and there is no manual safety. Serrations at the front of the slide give the support hand something to pull on for a press check. The slide has no optic cut, so a dot here means sending the slide out for milling.
Compared with its own family, the Glock G20 Gen5 MOS runs a 4.61-inch barrel, holds 15 rounds and arrives cut for an optic, at 8.07 inches long against this gun's 6.93. The Smith & Wesson M&P 10mm M2.0 4-inch keeps 15 rounds behind an optics-ready slide at 27.8 oz, which is 0.99 oz more, and has an MSRP of $699, so the G29 holds 5 rounds fewer and has no optic cut.

Strengths & Limitations
- The barrel is Glock's Marksman Barrel, with polygonal rifling and a recut muzzle crown, which Glock introduced over the previous Gen4 barrel.
- Gen5 took the finger grooves off the frame, so the hand is not held in a fixed position.
- An nDLC treatment covers the slide and the barrel, which handles the sweat a waistband holster traps against them.
- Full-power 10mm in 26.81 oz is sharp, and a rubber grip sleeve is a common first addition for anyone shooting it in volume.
- Ten rounds is the lowest count of the pistols here, and extra capacity means carrying a spare magazine.
- The full-size Glock 10mm arrives cut for an optic and this one does not, so a dot costs slide work on top of the pistol.

Frequently Asked Questions
What did Gen5 change from the Gen4 G29?
The slide stop lever works from both sides and the barrel became Glock's Marksman Barrel. The frame texture and the magazine catch also follow the Gen5 pattern.
What are the serrations at the front of the slide for?
Pulling the slide back a short way to check the chamber without reaching over the ejection port. They also give a wet hand purchase on a slide this short.
Which Glock 10mm is bigger than this one?
Both of them. The G20 Gen5 MOS is the full-size pistol and the Glock G40 Gen4 MOS is the long slide, and the G29 is the subcompact of the three.
