PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29 Review

First Thoughts on the PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29

The PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29 – it’s a simple piece of polymer, but it promises to drastically improve the handling of one of Glock’s most potent subcompacts. The Glock 29, chambered in the powerful 10mm Auto, is a beast to control with its standard, short grip. I’ve always appreciated the Glock 29’s power, but the two-finger grip felt inadequate, especially during rapid fire.

My quest for the PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29 stemmed directly from this control issue. I needed a solution that wouldn’t compromise the Glock 29’s concealability, but offered better purchase. Unboxing the Pearce Grip Grip Extension, I was immediately struck by its simplicity. The black polymer matched the Glock’s frame well, and it felt robust despite its light weight.

Compared to full-size magazine extensions, which significantly increase capacity and grip length, the PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29 seemed a more practical compromise for concealed carry. I’d considered a few other options, including aftermarket frames with integrated extensions, but they added considerable bulk and cost. The Pearce Grip offered a minimalist approach, and at $6.99, the price was certainly right.

My first impression was cautiously optimistic. The extension looked well-made and felt comfortable in my hand during dry-fire drills. It seemed like it would provide the much-needed real estate for my pinky finger, enhancing my grip without drastically altering the Glock 29’s profile. I was eager to get to the range and see if it lived up to its promise.

Real-World Testing: Putting PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29 to the Test

First Use Experience

I tested the PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29 at my local outdoor shooting range. The weather was mild, with a slight breeze, and I had a variety of 10mm ammunition to test the extension’s impact on recoil management. I started with controlled pairs at 7 yards, focusing on grip and accuracy.

The difference was immediately noticeable. The added length allowed me to get a full three-finger grip, significantly improving my control over the pistol. Recoil felt more manageable, and follow-up shots were much faster and more accurate. I experienced zero issues with installation or the extension coming loose during firing.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several range sessions and approximately 500 rounds of 10mm ammunition, the PEARCE GRIP EXT FOR GLOCK 29 has proven to be remarkably durable. There are no visible signs of wear and tear, despite frequent handling and holster draw practice. Cleaning is simple; a quick wipe with a damp cloth removes any residue.

Compared to my experience shooting the Glock 29 without the extension, the difference is night and day. The improved grip provides a more stable and consistent platform, leading to better accuracy and overall shooting comfort. It certainly outperforms my expectations, especially considering the low cost. The enhanced grip inspires confidence when carrying the Glock 29 as a defensive firearm.
