Tamed that beast! (G29)

I had 40 rounds of them hot Sig 10mm 180 FMJs I took to the range this morning. The pinky extension sure made a big difference. I was shooting high and all over the target.

Now I made a ragged hole above the bulls eye with a few flyers (bad shoulder). Love that gun. :cool:

 
I had a gen3 G20 years ago and couldn't shoot it worth a darn. Grip was too big for my hands the gun would torque and twist when firing.
 
Had a chance to shoot the 29 and really liked it a lot. Was more manageable than I expected and was accurate with it. Shot it better than my 30s. Fat little guy but packs a punch. Liked it quit a bit.
 
A lighter bullet weight might lower your point of impact on the target even more.

I have a Glock 29 and 20, the difference in velocity:
Glock 29 SF
Corbon 150 JHP @ 1,231 fps / 505# KE (-45 fps)
Hornady 155 XTP @ 1,256 fps / 543# KE (-79 fps)
Hornady 175 gr. Critical Duty @ 1,083 fps / 456# KE (-63 fps)
Glock 20 SF
Corbon 150 JHP @ 1,276 fps / 542# KE
Hornady 155 XTP @ 1,335 fps / 614# KE
Hornady 175 gr. Critical Duty @ 1,146 fps / 510# KE

I handload, loaded the 140 gr. Barnes Tac-XP to very controllable PF.
Glock 29 SF
Handload Barnes Tac-XP 140 gr. @ 1,190 fps / 440# KE / (-57 fps) PF 167
Glock 20 SF
Handload Barnes Tac-XP 140 gr. @ 1,247 fps / 484# KE / PF 175

Tac-XP bullet performs well at that velocity.
Prograde 10mm 140 from 4.5'' barrel: 1,216 fps
4 layer denim then gel, 12.9'' / .76

The Sig stuff is actually pretty potent. 180 grain that the box flap claims 1250 FPS - 624 lbs of energy. I know there is more potent stuff out there but the original Norma round was a 200 grain bullet at 1200FPS (works out to 640 lbs)

The G29 is going to lose some velocity but its still potent
