I bought this Glock 44 because curiosity got the best of me. I've seen and read lots of negative reviews on this pistol and wondered ~ could it be THAT BAD?

I am writing this 8000+ miles away from Malaysia. I returned back from the range yesterday shooting the G44. It was a pleasure shooting this .22 as a plinking sidearm. The lesser recoil vs the G19 allowed me to enjoy accurate placement. Compared this to the .22 Beretta we train here, hands down I enjoyed the Glock so much better.

@dougr5379 2 жыл бұрын

Buffalo, thanks for a great honest review. I've own two G44s that I've been using for a little over a year. I love their low weight, simplicity, durability and accuracy. They've been used hard by me and my family since purchased for plinking, small game hunting, camping, hiking, fishing and carried while deer/hog hunting for final dispatch as needed. We run whatever ammo is handy in them and they just seem to work with no issue. Both shoot a little high like you as you noticed, but no big deal and easy to learn to compensate. It's a great handgun and would replace in a heartbeat if either were lost. I watched a few other videos today that seemed to focus on negatives that I've not seen with either of my guns. They are daily hard working guns and they deliver bullet on target every time when needed. I live in the country and have two teenage boys that I'm sure use and abuse these guns hard, much more that some of these so called youtube experts. I have to agree with your assessment on this gun 100%

Watched a video on this from Lenny McGill at the Glock store. He recommends to field strip, clean and well lube this pistol before first trip to range. That might be the answer to some of the issues a lot of reviewers have with the 44 by taking it directly from the box to the range without a good first initial cleaning and lube. Just my 2 cents.

@@Magisktification I'll give you one example of why what you're saying is ridiculous. Taurus use to ship their firearms with a slight bit of cosmoline to keep them from rusting. That practice is followed as much now since a lot of manufacturing takes place in the states. The main point of that is you have no idea what you're getting. My last rifle purchase was REM 700 SPS 300 RUM. Right out of the box I borescoped it and found shavings in barrel. Very foolish to not inspect a new gun.

@RH-5482 Жыл бұрын

Recently purchased a new 44. Before taking it to the range the next day I did a field strip, cleaned and lubed per the manual, nothing more. I ran 50 rounds of CCI Mini Mag 40gr, 100 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity 40gr, 50 rounds of Winchester White Box 36gr, and 50 rounds of Remington Golden Value Box 36gr. I shot slow fire and rapid fire in random style. I did not take any special precautions in how I loaded up the magazines either (no thumping on the palm or bench). Experienced zero issues. The pistol operated exactly as it should to the point the barrel got so hot I couldn't even touch it. Very happy here! Lastly, I just wanted to say that I made my purchase based on your experience in this video. So appreciative you took the time to create it.

I am very happy with it, same handling as my G19 without the recoil & when my extended families kids want to have a go, they are not using up 500 rounds of my 9mm's in a couple of hours the next time I share my guns! It'll pay for itself within six months.

The range of ammo you used gave me pretty good assurance (as much as you can with a .22) that this pistol will run well.

Thank you for this video. Some 15 years ago I bought a German semi-auto pistol in 22LR. Out of the box the manual stated it was optimized for three brands and loadings of ammo. On that ammo I'd get at least one light primer strike per magazine. Sent it back under warranty, no improvement. I traded it in on a Berretta Neos. That little Neos shoots everything and anything including subsonic rounds. Yes, I know it looks like a Star Trek _"Phaser,"_ but it has been a reliable plinker since then.

I bought 2, one for my wife and one for my daughter. Stripped and cleaned before going to the range. 1st time we tried shooting the Winchester 333, what a horrible experience, I got really good at clearing all the jams, stovepipes, failure to eject... Once those were done, I had 115 Mini Mags that were in the safe for over 25 years. I had one failure to fire. Hmmmm, maybe it's not the pistols. Ordered Aguila Super Extra 40 grain..... back to the range.... 440 of those fired and only had 3 failure to fire, no jams, no stove piping, no failure to eject.. Goes to show, feed them right and they are great little plinkers.. Very happy with my purchase and considering getting a 3rd for myself since all the bigger ammo is getting so expensive when you fire 400-500 rounds per weekend.

@Mike7green1 2 жыл бұрын

I think that learning how to load the magazine so that the bullet doesn’t nosedive is the key to reliability. Occasionally, I had problems with malfunctions when I didn’t seat the magazine properly. Lastly, I found that the barrel would lead up a little when I shot 300 shots in rapid fire.. It was easily removed with scrubbing the barrel. I assume the leading was caused by the heating of the barrel with rapid fire. I really enjoy your videos. I like to see the actual shooting and listen to the trigger reset on pistols like the G44.

I have always thought the fun of a 22 was finding the ammo that the pistol/rifle liked best . To complain that a 22 pistol won't work with a certain kind of load is kinda nuts. Know if a component fails that is something different but Glock will fix the problem and tell the truth Sig maybe.

@buffalosoutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

I agree. Most 22s are going to prefer some ammo brands over others. It's the nature of the beast we call rimfire. Like you I enjoy finding that magic round that they like. Even with two guns of the same make and model one might like this and the other that.

I carry a G23 scouting in the woods and there's one place I always run into a slew of rabbits, might be time to give the holster a new companion. For me, I've found the largest contributing factor to a .22lr bullets success or failure is if it's wax coated. I find the wax coated rounds foul up my rails too quick as the paraffin vaporizes during firing then cools during rest. I always try to select unwaxed .22lr ammo, but a lot of the really nice .22lr loads are waxed-- unfortunately.

Buffalo - I purchased a G44 a couple of years ago about the time this video was made. I have run thousands of bulk ammo rounds through the pistol and heavily used/abused the pistol the whole time. Mostly it has been carried in a OWB leather holster. I've not cleaned the gun much, but will use a plastic brush to clean the insides out when it gets really filthy from powder fowling. I can't complain about the pistol at all. It just seems to work with no complaints. I did install the Glock fixed plastic rear sight in place of the original adjustable plastic sight. The adjustable sight seemed a little flimsy to me and I like the ruggedness of the fixed rear sight . Nothing has broken or cracked on the pistol after all of this use. The pistol is not as accurate as some of my solid steel pistols and revolvers, but it is accurate enough for a field pistol. The best features of this pistol are the ultra-lightweight and the corrosion resistance since most exposed surfaces are polymer.

Buffalo, I love your channel. Thanks for all your honest reviews. I think this video puts the "reliability" concerns of the G44 to rest!

I think that some reviewers are making them fail on purpose. They may not have cleaned and lubed it like you did either also probably don't know or don't care about making the rounds not nose dive into the front of the magazine. IDK but this has changed my mind. Thanks

My experience with Glock is mixed. Shot a G19 3rd gen and loved it. Wished I could find one for sale as my friend and mother-in-law have one and it shoots like a clock. Got me and my wife G26's and both had frequent jams even after cleaning and a solid break-in period. I've seen some that never jam, and then my sister-in-law's G17 jam every 25-30 rounds. Depends on the shooter, spring, ammo, etc. So basically I don't find Glock more reliable or unreliable than any other firearm. Actually I find Walther's to be more reliable if I'm being honest.

My dad has one, and the only problems that I’ve had while shooting, were cause if the ammo. I was shooting Remington ammo, and I think it didn’t like it. I haven’t had any problems with the hollow point cci’s, or the black tips. After cleaning it, it’s running like a champ, and the slide is much nicer to rack.

The 10 rnd mags are most likely so they can sell them in the more restrictive states like NY. Then they can charge too much for other mags or just let pmag or whoever come out with larger mags and not waste design time. As for old ammo, I have some Rem yellow jackets from about 93 or 94. I ran a box through my Marlin 25N without issue about 2 years ago. That particular box was in my range box for about 25 years. But hey, age of ammo is as good an excuse as any to enjoy the sounds of freedom. Thanks for taking the time to demo how well it cycles that many types of loads.

You're probably right about the 10 round mags. Sounds like a reasonable (albeit greedy) explanation to me.

Buffalo is the Bob Ross of shooting. My wife's G44 goes thru CCI mini-mag with no problems and I love shooting it. Probably 800-1000 rounds through it. Bulk box ammo gives it fits. Feed it what it eats.

Darn finicky old Ruger! They ought to fix that problem! Maybe I'll do an angry video, and tell them that 10-22's are no darn good ! ;)

I appreciate you making this video with no motivation and shooting the Glock44 right out of the box. I wanted the Glock19 or Glock45 but all suppliers were out today. This was the only Glock in the store and I really had my heart set on at 9MM but I really wanted a Glock too although I wasn't familiar with this one. I watched about 5 youtube reviews and they all gave horrible reviews on the Glock44. I was starting to feel really bad about my purchase. Your video clearly has no ulterior motive and was not edited like the others. I'm keeping my Glock44. Thank you!!!!!!!

Great video Buffalo. I bought, and shot my Glock 44 today (for the first time). I shot 150 rounds of CCi Stinger (expensive at academy sports), but only had 1 non fire (which fired on my second attempt. I got some bulk ammo on its way (expecting it on Tuesday), so will report how that goes. Thanks for being neutral, and not throwing Glock under the bus. 100% is just a number, or idea. It is almost never a real thing. Nothing is perfect in the true sense of the word. I will keep y'all posted as I carry on my experimentations with the Glock 44, and different ammos used. Best to y'all.

Buffalo's Outdoors, great and thorough job on this gun as always with a great camera man. That's the fastest mag loading I've ever seen. Not likely to pick one up personally, but was very interested having a growing love for 22lr around home for plinking and varmint control. Huge problem up in MN with opossums in the shed and barn during winters. That said, it's great seeing you in a T shirt with no white on the landscape the 1st week in March. All my 22lr firearms shoot mega Federal Auto-Match lead RN with a mag or two of CCI Mini Mag copper jacket to clean up the rifling at the end of plinking. This winter my Beretta 21a has been my companion most days riding in my front pocket. Love that little rascal. Be well and safe.

OK, so I am bit late seeing this video however, I picked up one of these about 2 weeks ago and finally had a chance to shoot it. Had 6 different brands of ammo and had no issues. Most of the brands I used were the same you used. I am in Canada so we don't have access to all the brands you do south of the border. Awesome video and thanks for showing an honest review, unlike some of the others I have come across out there...

Because of some bad reviews of the glock, I went out and bought the keltec 22 magnum pmr. Now it's a good weapon. Haven't ran anything but cci ammo in it. 150 rounds with 1 malfunction and I know it was how i loaded that first round. But I wanted the glock 44. Wished I'd have watched this video before the others. Live and learn. I love the keltec. Great shooting pistol that the kids train with. Glock would have been better trainer since I'm trying to transition them to the g19. Oh well. Great honest video. Cci velociters my favorite 22 round.

I love Glock. However when it came to a .22. I had to go with the TX22. I havent had any issues with it (500rds so far) considering the fouled barrels or light strikes that have been reported of it. Ive had 2 failures to feed on it but I believe it was a dirty mag since it was dropped on dirt and the follower on it got sticky. I might end up getting this G44 down the road. Thanks for this video.
