I have looked at more that’s a few of the new 29s, but haven’t actually used one. Other than the stocks, which would be murderous for my hands, I don’t see too much wrong with them and wouldn’t be afraid to buy one. They’re not as pretty as the older guns, but if you’re buying to actually use, not to just leave lying around to look at, they’ll do. If pretty is what you’re after, I would look for an older version.
