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.

It's the old phrase I remember at times like this....

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one

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.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

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.
