But a worthy resurrection it is.

I love me some Glock. BUT - When you approach the horsepower of 10mm, the little G29 frame can be a little challenging to keep good groups with (my groups turn into patterns :-(. At the risk of having my man-card revoked, I'll say that this is one round that deserves a little weight with the gun. I have no doubt that guys like Gman can rip with it, but for us mere mortals, I think a good steel frame is a far better support platform.

Whec, you would be suprised at well that Glock frame absorbs the recoil. With full power loads in the 180 weight range, my G29 doesnt feel anymore snappy than the G23. Of course its a little wider, which probably makes the difference.
Yah, I think this might be the difference between the pros and the Joes. Back when I was looking for a hog gun, I ran a few boxes of Winchester silvertip through my G30 (basically a G29 frame), with the 10mm conversion barrel/recoil spring. The results were shameful. Even a wild hog deserves a better shot than that. The .357 Vaquero has since responsibly assumed that duty.
