I have owned my G44 or about a month now. Have ran all sorts of ammo thru it, 36 & 40 grain, cheap bulk box to CCI Mini-Mags, not one single malfunction in 800 rounds. The trick to this gun is in the magazines. When you load the mags, turn them upside down and pull the helper tabs and shake it a little. This helps align the rounds in the magazine properly, thus zero malfunctions. I will run 100 rounds in the G44, then grab my G19 and run 100 rounds, it has really helped with the fundamentals.

Owned mine for about a year. Runs great and zero regrets.

I generally agree with you about waiting to buy a gun after all the bugs are worked out, however I broke that rule and bought the 44 the day it was released. I conpete in rimfire division in GSSF Matches. Fortunately I bought 10's of thousands of 100 round boxes of MiniMags when they cost less than 7 bucks a pop. MY 44 was broken in with 300 rounds of MiniMags with one failure feed when shooting the 5th magazine, I got lazy and didn't follow Glock's recommendation for loading magazines. My 44 has always run like a champion from day one. I have won many first place positions and 500 patches I've stopped keeping track. At 40,000 rounds I started to fear something might break so I bought a purple 44 as a backup. Both of these gun love cheap crap ammo during practice and plinking with few issues, however when it comes to matches, CCI MiniMags or Standard Velocity are my goto. GLOCK needs get off their behinds and add a G17 size version and MOS to their line up! And lower their price! I generally only recommend the 44 only to people who want to compete in Glock matches. I recommend The TX22 and PPQ22 for open sight training and the FN502 for open and optics. Those 3 guns feel heavy like real guns and real gun magazine capacities

I have one and lost count of the rounds ran through it. The only issue Ibhave is with the ProMag 18rd mags. They jam like Atlanta traffic.

I’ve had a G44 since 2021. The first 600ish rounds I had about 50-100 malfunctions. Since then I haven’t had a single malfunction. I shoot Aguila, CCI, Blazer, winchester, Federal, Remington. It really likes the Aguila but it still eats everything else.

It’s always the ammo. They all have tolerance issues.

I purchased a couple G44s 3 years ago and have fired numerous bulk pack boxes of ammo through them. Never had any problems with them. I can't recommend the Promag magazines though as I've had a couple of them break off the little side pull tabs. Accuracy is ok.

Broke mine in on CCI Mini Mags and that is all I run in it. 2,000 rounds and not one malfunction. Oh, I cleaned and oil the gun when it was new before I ever shot it, plus I am a fanatic about keeping a gun clean so it get cleaned between 100 and 200 rounds.

How are the sights on the newer ones? One major issue a lot of people complained about is that it aims high and that the sights cannot be fully zeroed in. When I used the G44 in a training class it was definitely shooting higher than where I was aiming, I’m assuming it’s an older production G44 from when it came out, but idk if they fixed this issue.

How do you ask for a newer version when you buy one? What do you say when buying?

I accept a polymer frame but despise the thought of a polymer slide. 👎🏼 I heard that Glock says the plastic slide is needed for function but I'm not buying their BS!

Good video

You said you do carry it but wouldn't recommend it for a carry?

350 so far, not one failure.

I run mines with a 24 round promag. No issues

Is that a... cat tourniquet copy? Bruh.

mine has been flawless.

So you CAN dry fire these? When I went to go buy mine, I dry fired it in the shop and the gun guys were like “Oh sir, you can’t dry fire that, it’s a rim fire”.

its the ammo man.

Is there a option to change the sights

I owned one ,but I get Rid after two years, and got the sig 322 It has a 20 row magazine compared to the 44, that only has a 10 round mag ,a lot of things on it. If God had them I would’ve stayed with the 44

How can you tell a gen 1 vs a gen 2?
