Why the Glock 29 SF – .78 Wins
Having carried everything from 1911s to polymer-framed duty guns during my time in the military, the Glock 29 SF hits the sweet spot between concealability and 10mm stopping power. The .78″ width makes it disappear under a t-shirt, while still packing enough punch for bear country – something I’ve tested personally on our 100-yard range here in Texas.

- Short Frame (SF) design fits smaller hands

At just .78″ wide, it’s one of the most concealable 10mm options available while still offering full-power performance.

Yes – the 29 SF accepts all Glock 20 magazines, giving you 15+1 capacity options.
How does recoil compare to other 10mm pistols?
The dual recoil spring helps, but physics dictates that smaller pistols will have sharper recoil – practice is essential.
What holsters fit the Glock 29 SF?
Most Glock 29 holsters will work, but verify SF compatibility as the frame dimensions differ slightly.
Is the Glock 29 SF California compliant?
