I have a G29 and Lone wolf G40 clone with their new slime frame.  On my G29 I have a bar-sto barrel.   I never felt safe shooting max loads in a glock stock barrel.
I thought it was standard practice to replace the glock stock barrel for a barrel with a tighter chamber.
But since no one mentioned it I could be wrong.

Not needed for the newer G20 and G40's.

I did run into a guy at the range with a fairly new G29 and he was shooting some factory loads. The brass looked really bad.

I load for three 10mms, one of them being a G40.  My hunting and bear defense loads are using a 200 grain Montana Bullet Works WFNPB, starline cases, CCI 300 large pistol primers, and 10.0 grains of Blue Dot with a COL of 1.240. Chronographed velocity of 1216 fps out of my STI Perfect 10.  In my testing, Longshot produced more velocity than Blue Dot but didn't group as well.  In testing AA#9 and Blue Dot in 44 magnum, AA#9 lost a lot of velocity in extreme cold temps. So, I'm sticking with Blue Dot for 10mm for now.

I've tested three 200 grain hard cast bullets. Double TAP's WFNGC, Beartooth's WFNGC and Montana Bullet Works WFNPB. The Montana Bullet Works 200 grain WFNPB shot more accurately than the other two and are easy to get when you need them. So, I'm sticking with them for now.

I also have a 200 grain load using Hornady XTPs, Starline cases, CCI 300 primers, and 9.4 grains of Blue Dot seated to 1.250. Haven't chronographed them but they shoot pretty well for defensive purposes when you don't need a hardcast bullet. 9.4 grains of Blue Dot is Hornday's book max and I haven't bothered to venture beyond it.       

For range plinking loads, any 180 grain plated bullet fueled by 5.3 grains of Winchester 231 shoots pretty well.
