Hey INGO,
I have had an idea now for about a year, and am ready to make the jump if you guys approve.
A little back story on me first. I am a 4 year Marine Corps vet who has served in theatre and has pulled a trigger more than once on an enemy combatant . I love the 1911 and all things 45. That being said, I have always been interested in the 10mm round and its ability to be absolutely devastating to whomever it is fired upon. My only drawback to this caliber has been the size of the firearms in which it has been historicaly offered; being the Delta Elite, The "Bren Ten", Glock 20, Glock 29, and so forth.
I love the Delta, but for concealed carry, a full size 1911 platform can become uncomforatble, even though it can be done, as I have done it many times. As we know, the Bren Ten has become a collectors peice as well as a known failure so it kind of eliminates itself. Then you come to the Glock 20, and absolutely awesome 10mm platform that will never fail or falter, but is an awful large, and combersome package. Now we come to the Glock 29, an subcompact firearm that in also unsurpassed in reliability and function; but for me is a short little package that leaves little to be offered in barrel length and recoil control.
So the research continued and I kept coming back to the 29 for the smaller grip and the effective elimination of "printing" while concealing a firearm IWB under a shirt or any other form of concealed carry. The only thing that still bothered me was barrel length and recoil. Not to mention asthetics, because lets face it, as reliable and dependable as they are Glocks are not the best looking weapons on the market. Then I came across KKM and their compensated barrels.
So I want you to picture this weapon, as I cannot find any pictures to support my vision. Glock 29, with the KKM 4 port compensator and an extended grip extension, which I believe gives you an effective barrel length, recoil reduction, as well as enough grip length to support your traditional "high tang" grip. I also believe that this package will also be very striking in appearance. This is a package that I think would be very effective for concealed carry as well as effective trauma inducing firepower to any individual wishing to bring you and your family harm.
So in closing, I would love to hear all of INGO's thoughts on this little package that I have thought up. I am open to praise as well as criticism, because I trust all of you and your opinions on what will keep me as well as my kids safe, so no kid gloves, tell it like it is INGO!
