Anyone buying a Glock 44?

Nietzsche · Dec 22, 2019

I am interested because it looks like a steel barrel and steel slide. I was considering the conversion kit for the CZ Shadow 2 until I saw Glocks advert. I don't like the aluminium slides on a lot of the .22 pistols, they seem to wear too quickly, I currently have a S&W compact and used to own a Sig 938-22. Hopefully the G44 will complement my S&W 617 and Ruger 22-45 for longevity.

The G44 has a polymer slide.

I will buy as soon as it comes with a factory threaded BBL and is MOS ready

I will likely have one, but not in a big hurry.

Much more interested in a G45 and the rumored G49

Whats the G49 suppose to be?

The polymer is molded onto a steel frame to create a hybrid slide.

Single stack, 8 + 1 round 10MM

I honestly wouldn't mind a G44 and a G19. It'd be nice to have a .22 practice pistol. Specifically a .22 pistol that isn't ammo picky, and from what I've seen in reviews, the G44 was very much designed to accept a large variety of ammo. I like that it has a hybrid polymer slide, so that it can cycle under low power conditions of many of the .22 cartridges

Any thoughts about a reason it isn’t MRO ready is that the optics would add too much mass and cycling/reliability issues?

Maybe only cycle with Mini Mags or stingers?

I think the rds would be too much weight to the slide to make it cycle reliably.

Personally I prefer irons, I have an astigmatism so they're a bit on the difficult side for me to use.

Doubtful. They could have engineered that into the equation.

My AA conversion can handle the extra weight.

If Glock stays on course, another disappointment.

While its not first up on the list to buy in 2020, it is on the list. It sounds better accuracy and reliability wise than my Aluminum Advantage arms Conversion ( riding on steel slide rails, and lose as a beat to heck GI 1911)
It appears zink free unlike the Sig Mosquitos and Walther .22’s
And can be set up with the same trigger and sights I use on my centerfire Glock pistols.
Not a horrible thing at all.

I am sort of interested. If it is made by Glock and not Umarex

DyeF9 · Dec 26, 2019

I definitely do not like the pot metal slides on the Walther .22 pistols.

HKShooter65 · Dec 27, 2019

Heck yes, if it has the feel and balance and handling characteristics of a "real" Glock.

Though I'll wait for the 44-TB

Threaded barrel.

I like the feel of Glocks. I shoot suppressed a lot.
I don't particularly like that centerfire Glocks tend to spit back a lot of powder residue when suppressed.

A 44-TB will be in my shopping list.

I would consider it after supply catches up to demand. I'm certainly not going to pay over MSRP for one.

10 round mag isn't a deal breaker for me. Single stack .22lr mags are generally pretty reliable.

FireInTheWire · Jan 13, 2020

I'm not, but my buddy is. It'll be his first Glock

PSA has them for $359.

Got that email earlier, haven’t looked to compare prices yet.

OOS already.

I'm sure the first batch will go quickly. I'm sure they'll be in stock everywhere in a month or two.
