Title: This guy says the 10mm isn't good for self defense

He specially picked on my favorite Glock 29. Said it don't feed, the frame flexes,  too much.  I love my G29 and it feeds fine.

I'll put it this way. I am NOT a real Glock fan. But it is not it's reliability I don't like. It is mainly just the grip angle seems wrong to me, and I am not comfortable firing one.

I watched the video about 3 weeks ago for the first time and, while I wasn't sure what his point was or if he had one, I was left wondering if he was ever going to highlight any facts or experiences to support the title of the vid. I couldn't watch the whole thing because I'd rather spend my time watching hickock45 shoot plates and 2 litres with no particular point to make. But, I just took delivery of a 5" 1911 double stack in 10, which is of course a lead brick as far as mass goes, and when it was time to shoot it again for the 2nd time, I took my G29 along to shoot as well, since I hadn't practiced with it in a long while.

So off to the range with the G29 and book max loads or a shade under published max. I quickly brought myself back to the reality that a hot load in the G29 is two handfuls, and that, for me at least, practicing once every 6 months isn't going to cut it. It also refreshed my viewpoint about it being a tiny little disappointing round. If nothing else, the suggestion of the video's title got me to reflect a little bit on how well I might do with the G29 in a "real scenario", whatever I might think that would be.

Shoot more...shoot more often. The 10 in a GLOCK is very manageable with practice.

My 125# Wife shoots mine almost as well as I do. ACCURACY wise. she has trouble manipulating the slide and clearing any jambs. (Not common)

Most everything is possible with practice.  :D ;D

He's just not strong enough for it. Ever notice it's the weak ones who make your gun malfunction?

I feel safe with mine loaded with Critical Duty, V-Crowns, or Underwood 200gr Noslers.

Not sure. Ruger now makes them. Dan Wesson has a new one. SIG now makes some, Wilson Combat, I think Les Bauer was either already making one or is going to. I think a couple new Kimbers are out, I just ordered a new TNW 10mm carbine. I haven't see any Grand Powers 10mm's out yet but hear they are coming.

Rock Island, Fusion.  My RIA 1911 6" double stack weighs in just under 4 lbs loaded.  It is rather docile with even the hot stuff.  It's quite fun to shoot.

Didn't include them because they have been out for a while. I have the 5" single stack version. My small short fingered hand has problems with double stacks. The reason I haven't considered an EAA is because nobody in town sells them, and I do not know if their double stack will fit in my hand.
