What are the key features of the Glock G29 Gen 4?

The Glock G29 Gen 4 features interchangeable backstraps for grip customization, an aggressive frame texture for enhanced control, and a dual captive recoil spring system designed to manage the potent recoil of the 10mm Auto cartridge. It has a standard capacity of 10+1 rounds.

How does the Glock G29 10mm compare in size to other Glocks?
