Glock Discontinuing Model 29

[MTLabrador]

Critters shot with 40?

All kinds. Not in a hunting context obviously.

also think there would be a lot of merit to a .45 ACP with hard casts. I’ve always thought the .45 in a full size Glock or 1911 is easy to shoot and a lot less snappy than a .40.

Yeah I don’t know. The bigger frontal diameter and slower velocity don’t necessarily scream penetration to me.

That’s true, but I’d be interested to try it. The old .45 colt has a pretty good reputation on game, even when it isn’t hot rodded. I don’t know if he’s still on here but Mackay Sagebrush makes a 250 grain flat point load in the .45 ACP that looked pretty good.

Obviously it’s not going to compare to a .44 mag with hard casts.

You load some up, we’ll hike up the Taylor Fork with you in front.

The only .45 caliber I have now is a .45-70, so I’ll just bring that along to test instead…

Shot many injured deer with Glock 23 in .40 and .357 Mag. in a couple different S&W models. Shot a few with 9mm. I’ll take the Glock in .40 every time.

I’m a big fan of the.45 Super. Swapped out my factory barrel and running a KKM barrel in my model 21 with the hard cast 250 grainers. It’s a potent load. I like having 13 of them at the ready

This thread got me thinking... I ordered a Glock 30 Gen 5 this morning. Sub compact 45 acp. Figured I should get something while they are still available!
