Analysis Paralysis

[????mm]

Hey my first post! Well actually my second. Anywho, I wanted to pick the brains of the 10mm faithful.
I have been researching this caliber, and the Glock 29 specifically, for sometime now. After a range session with a friend using his G29 I think I am hooked. I have been shooting for quite sometime now, thanks to my father. Started with a Ruger .22 and worked my way up to a S&W Model 57 .41 magnum. Took my first gun course with the Model 57. Sweetest gun I have ever shot. I never made it to the .44 magnum. 
With that said, I have been dabbling in autos, everything from a P7 to the 1911. This also includes a few Glocks (17,19, 23, 30 and 33).
Now, after having researched the G29 to the point that it's driving me crazy, I need to ask a few questions.
I don't and won't reload (space requirements).
I don't and won't hunt (anymore).
The G29 will be a range, carry, and for right now, home defense gun.
I have not gone through a 200-300rd range session with the G29. Is it even possible?
I (try) to shoot once a week. Most often than not, it is twice a month using a 1911. Will it cost a great deal more?
I have taken a few courses. Has anyone taken a course with a G29?
Is the G29 worth the time and cost?
What ever happened to, it's a blast to shoot?!? (pardon the pun)

I have been shooting the 10mm since Smith came out with the 1006.  I grew up spending my weekends (with my Dad) on the family ranch, so lots of fun times shooting. I still have the same 1006, but just the other day pickup up a Glock 20 & 29.  I must say, I am having a lot of fun with the G29!  I used to reload all the revolver cartridges, but no autos.  And not really interested in reloading now...  I found the Georgia Arms ammo to be nice "plinking" ammo and works well in the 20 & 29 (haven't tried it in the 1006).  It is about 44 cents a round, and is not hot/heavy like the ammo that is built to the old specs like Underwood, etc, those that are real 10mm standards seem to be 60 cents and above a round.  So, I guess it breaks down to how much you want to spend...  This week I went through 600 rounds in 3 sessions at an indoor range, so I am happy spending a little less, and keeping the full loads for when needed.

I like my g29 a lot.  it is #2 in my carry list and gets the nod when a full size won't conceal well.

I as well have enjoyed my 29, you get a lot gun for the money

I like the G-29 and shot it often, I am always testing various ammo that I load for the G-29 with conversion barrels in 40S&W, 357Sig and 9x25Dillon.  I even picked up a G-30 because it is the same frame size to play with the 45ACP because brass was plentiful.  Very nice shooting with this frame size.

Space limitations for reloading are the limits you place on yourself. Thebest portable set up I have seen was mounted to a fold up Black and Decker portable work bench. When folded, took up the same space as 2 tv trays folded up. A Lee turret press and bolts with wingnuts. It can all be done so it breaks down into an Ammo Can sized plastic box. A second one to hold a 1lb bottle of powder and components.

Not intending to intimidate, but just offer up that reloading does not have to take up a lot of space. If you can leave it set up, great, it just means you can spend more time building rounds.

200-300 round sessions? They go by really fast when you have multiple magazines. My last range session with my 1911 and 3 mags burned through 600 rounds. Get an Ulua Loader if you don't have one and it will make reloading the mags a snap.

I can't speak for the glock, don't have one anymore, and have not shot any of the Gen 3 or 4's. The only interest I have right now is for a Mec-Tec base. (Round capacity)
