I have shot 1500 or so through a Glock 44 and I have had maybe 2-3 stove pipes. Round placement in the mag is important and the gun loves 40 grain! No issues with 40 grain Winchester black coppers.

I've had my G-44 only 2 weeks and put a pounding on it using CCI Mini, now here are my finding (1) the gun is very light in weight, (2) 80 straight rounds needs cleaning. (3) feels really good and shoot great!

I just fired one at the range. I loved the gun. Light, smooth and shot like butter. I did have one misfeed out of 200 rounds, but 22s can do that. Didn't experience any slide problems and was rapid firing. Overall, I liked the gun quite a bit.

Several thousand rounds through my G44. it had some malfunctions up til 200 rounds or so," NORMAL" for any 22 after that, has functioned perfectly.. No cracks whatsoever.

The problem is that Glock told everyone that their G44 was gonna be THE best .22LR pistol on the market and they talk about how it was tested for YEARS before they released it because they wanted a gun that worked with ALL types of .22LR ammo, cheap and expensive! They didn't do anything revolutionary, they were just late to the game...

If you're going to shit on Sig for the P365 launch issues, you can't turn a blind eye to the G44's issues, even if the use case isn't as a defensive carry pistol. Issues are issues.

I bought mine in 2024 and 200 rounds into it and the firing pin sleeve and buffer broke, now after replacing with NO help from glock the slide is CRACKED!! The gun was so fun for the first 200 rds.

I have a g44 with 300 rounds with 2 rounds that didn’t go off when hit. Put the 2 rounds back in the mag and fired them no problem. No explosion or cracked slide. I generally run cci. I have bad luck with cheap bulk 22lr so I run the good stuff

You should rename this video "Hearsay for the Glocck 44" because it appears you have No first hand experience. I've put 1200 rounds throught mine, no issues except with sub-sonic ammo which is to be expected in any auto.

Clean it thoroughly before use. Only use clean ammo. Most importantly don't let videos like this deter you from purchasing guns based on pure lack of testing for more than one day.

And the Taurus TX22 actually slays the Glock 44 and for $140 less, and $300 less if you buy the threaded barrel from glock.

1000+ rounds through my Glock 44, not a single issue. 10 different brands of ammunition. Haven’t cleaned it yet. Still GTG.🇺🇸

A review without having the handgun on hand...🤨

I’ve already put over 1000 rounds through mine and I’ve only had 6 problems. 5 of them were light loads (Remington Thunderbolt ammo) and one failure to feed. I’m more then satisfied with mine. I’ll do a review on mine this week.

This is June 2024 and I own the Glock 44 and the Taurus TX22 and I would highly recommend the Taurus TX22 over the Glock. The Taurus comes with 16 round magazines and the Glock has only 10 round magazines. The Glock is ammo sensitive and the Taurus will shoot any 22 lr ammo. Now I have five round extensions on both pistols so I get 16 rounds in the Glock mags and 21 rounds in the Taurus. Cheaper and better, spend your money wisely.

If what I’m repeating on the internet is true.... because that’s all you KZfaq gun guys do. Repeat garbage read on forums written by Armchair experts. The internet is the last source of information you want to use to form your opinion.

I put over 200 through mine last Friday, not a single malfunction other than one cartridge required a second strike (which is on-par with any of my other 22 experiences). I fed it 40gr LRN Federal automatch from the 325 box, which my Ruger MK3 also enjoys eating. The G44 is a hoot, it is so light it actually has a bit of snap, which is hillariously fun.

At over 2000 rounds, my G44 will only function reliably with CCI mini mags (but will not slide lock with them). It will not function with Federal 36 gr, 38 gr, 40 gr., Remington 36 gr golden, or Winchester 36 grain. Glock customer service tells me to keep shooting and it will loosen up. Where I am, CCI mini mags cost 7-9 cents each. I am not happy.

A lot of the problems is AMMO

I purchased 2 G44's, took them to the range Saturday, I also purchased a box of Winchester 333 HP at the same time. I spent more time clearing jams, miss fires, stovepipes than I did shooting the pistols. One for my wife and one for my daughter. Needless to say I was VERY upset. After we ran out of the 333's I tried some CCI mini mags that were in my safe for at least 25 years. out of 115 of those I only had 1 misfire. Goes to show, these can be a good pistol with the right ammo. Can't wait to try them again....

If the slide is all Polymer, I would suggest to Glock to make new slides with a wire mesh embedded inside when poring the polymer in the mold. Much like rebar is used to reinforce concrete.

I've had several issues with Ruger quality control in the past couple of years.

When the Conversation Kits are better then the Glock 44.

Don’t listen to the Glock haters ... over 800 rds and not one problem ! That video you were talking about was a squib round and Not the Glocks fault! Shooting fast as he can with buLK DIRTY CHAP AMMO had to be a factor! Clean and lube the pistol (as instructions says) Before going to range AND use Quality ammo = Total reliability! Their is so Many other reviews that show nothing but praise for the G44! Probably the best 22 LR on the market !!!

Shot my new Glock 44 (22lr) today.150 rounds shot flawlessly!! CCI COPPER ROUNDNOSE 40 grain (1235 FPS). Comes with adjustable sights.

I’m a competition shooter and use mine mostly from 25meters (around 25yards) with a Timmy, competition magwell, and a thiner front sight and only with CCI standard 40grain. I manage very very tight groups with it. It’s just astonishing good and precise for a 4 inch 22. 0 malfunctions yet! Cheers from Germany

I was eager to see what the Glock had to offer over my M&P 22 compact. The Smith and Wesson holds 10rds, has a threaded barrel, fires everything I put in it, and is pretty accurate. I was hoping the Glock would at least hold more rounds like the taurus or keltec.

I’ve got 650 rounds through my G44 with only two failures to fire. Feeds and ejects fine.

This COVID year of Dec 2020 you can hardly find a .22 semi auto at the stores. Finally a week before Christmas I had the opportunity at 2 different stores to score a Glock 44 or a Beretta M9 .22 I chose the Beretta for several reasons, the 15+1 capacity with a steel mag, s/d action and the 5” barrel. The only reason I have this and my Ruger Mark lll is to shoot affordably. But I also wanted something like my Ruger that would eat any ammo from bulk on up with accuracy and dependability. Very happy with my purchase, glad I chose Beretta.

Just proves failure can happen to any brand ,at all levels in firearms.

1800 rounds through my G44,., no problem other than the mag will occasionally nose dive a bullet... Same thing with my TX 22 ...

This is May, 2024 and I just shot mine today and it had light strikes with quality rimfire rounds, at least 1 per magazine, sometimes two. I am shooting it tomorrow with high velocity 22s so hopefully it will work tomorrow. I don’t recommend it even though I love Glocks. Still don’t have the Glock 44 working 100%.

I had the same issue with my Glock 44 it exploded in my hand and Glock tried to blame the bullets.. long story short I sold mine

so, the gist of this video is you're going to wait to buy a Glock 44? 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

I love mine, absolutely not problems at all as long as I use CCI MINI Mags. Very similar to the 22 M&P. You have got to use good ammo.

Seems if you talk about Glock 44 malfunctions, you’re mentioning Tim also “It doesn’t come with a threaded barrel.”😂

My GLOCK licenced CO2 BB pistol has been 100% reliable, keeps an easy 5" group at 12 yards, same weight and size as my G23, costs .55 per 120 rounds to fire, easy to load the Mag, with no cleaning...

My Glock 23 Gen 4 is a beauty ..... had it about 3 years now 100% functionality .... I like the Gen 4 with finger grooves .. Not that into 22lr ....but it looks like a nice one ..

Use hot rounds, 40 grains. I like mine! I’ve had a few hang ups with the nose of the top round in the mag slanting downward. It does feel like a toy though

Bottom line. Glock said it would eat any ammo you put it in. That includes bulk ammo.

We've all had and erratic ejection from time to time

The glock 44 is made by Umarex. It’s not made at the glock factory. Contracted out to them to build it since glock doesn’t make anything else in 22. Umarex is the company that makes all the super realistic licensed airsoft guns. So that may be the issue.

I've had my glock 44 since 1893, and I've fired 600,000 rounds of .22 through it, from every manufacturer on earth, including many that have since gone out of business, and a healthy amount of .22 short, and I've had only 1 failure to fire, which was the fault of me limp wristing it due to my extreme iron deficiency and actual scurvy, so it actually kind of counts as only .5 of a failure to fire.

That fireball! That hot little wildcat might be interesting out of a carbine length barrel...probably be a rocket. Not for SD at night, that's for sure...looks fun though. Maybe a night or dusk video just for kix.

I like that conversion barrel. Wondering if they make it for the Glock 19?

Buddy of mine who is pretty knowledgeable had a hiccup or two when he first got it. Said the Aguila super extra 40 grain billets run perfectly most of the time. He liked it enough to buy another one for his son. I’ve never seen him have an issue either. He says they happen like with anything, but it must be a pretty good one. Gonna need some tweaks

Slides don't explode, bullets do

I had one stove pipe with Federal Bulk Pack and one Winchester M22 bullet didn’t fire, then loaded same round and it fired. It did perfect with Remington Golden Bullets, lead nosed Federal Champions, Magtech and Centurion...298 out of 300 rounds were perfect. I have a short review on my page.

.22 tcm is a necked down 9mm - which is why it works in the 9mm mags. Armscore created it to compete with 5.7x28.

I've heard of the Glock 44, but I have no experience with it. I love the 22LR caliber. It is a fun plinker. I have a 22LR top for my Beretta 92A1. It's made by Umerex for Beretta. It's a fun adaptor. Special 22LR magazines are required for that. The slide is straight up aluminum. It makes my 92A1 a two caliber gun with a very simple slide swap. If 22 TCM catches on, it would be interesting to have a slide and barrel for that as well. The two downsides for the 22LR conversion, IMO, are the cost and the quality of the safety. I have a G type conversion safety on my 92A1 which is decock only and nice steel. The 22LR is a decocker/safety and is stamped. So there is a slight difference in user operation there.

just wanna say this I bought a Glock 44 and put 800 rounds thru it no issues the only real issue don't use 36 grain rounds it jams up use the 40 grains and another thing clean your Glock before firing it and use the right lube I use frog wipes with clp also don't glob the Glock up with lube it will crack and malfunction and never clean the trigger components or the firing pin imo that's where certain issues come from mine is k for now lol

Dont know the point in 22tcm conversion. ammo costs more than 9mm. for people with wrist problems that might do. I just dont see how 22TCM is going to be food for. if you are going to do drills, just use 9mm.

Interestingly I preordered my glock44 and will pick it up and try it today, I will message you on patreon on information of my experience until you get yours

About 80% of magazine fed hand guns are polymer now. That doesn't affect anything except weight.

Like the Video, I wish the barrel in the 44 was threaded, Glock told me , I can buy a Threaded barrel for my , model 44, for only $ 198.00, ad that to the price of the Glock, sold it already.

PRE-LOCK SMITH AND WESSON REVOLVERS IN 22 LONG RIFLE CAN STILL BE HAD IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A BIT OF LOOKING AROUND , AND THEY ARE FRIGGIN TACK DRIVERS THAT LAST FOREVER ALTHOUGH USUALLY WITH A INFLATED PRICE TAG

I just bought one and shot 200 rds and no issues love it super fun plinkster!!!

I may not be a glock fan, but the wife bought one, yes the G44. She liked how it feels in her hand. And we will be going out soon to target practice with it.

Mine runs great! Sad to see all the hate..

The new Glock pistol likes hot ammo only, it does not like 36 grain Federal bulk ammo at all but it loves 40 grain Winchester and will reliably shoot the 40 grain Winchester all the time or any CCI 40 grain ammo and any other 40 grain ammo. It loves the M22 1000 round Winchester bulk ammo from Walmart but then again it’s 40 grain!

I have one, get 40g(Federal bulk ammunition has been working good for me). I have had 2 malfunctions so far, I’m 500 rounds deep, I know there are reliable 22s but I wanted a Glock trainer and I love it.

My glock 44 failed to eject every third round and If it wasn't that it was stove pipes or light primer strikes. My slide won't break because I'm not wasting any more money running ammo thru the damn thing.

Glock spent 3 years before they released it. They had test guns that they shot a thousand rounds through every day for 3 years straight from temperatures ranging from -50° Celsius to plus 50° Celsius in 95% humidity with hardly any failures. Part of what's going on is in Europe the 22 cartridge is considered way more of a real cartridge than the way it's looked at in the US and when you buy 22 long rifle ammo from some of the European providers of ammo you don't get products like those Remington Goldies where there's just like 350 rounds chucked into a cardboard box. I have a Glock 44 that runs great it's got a marksman class Barrel it even has a fluted chamber to help it run more reliably Glock spent 3 years of research and development before they even release the gun. As you know Glock numbers their guns based on the patent number as opposed to the caliber or when the gun was released so that's why the Glock 45 and others with more recent patent numbers were coming out before the 44 the reason of that is because they kept the 44 from being released until they really really really really researched and tried to get the gun as reliable as possible. I suggest you go watch the review James does on tfb Channel and he even goes to Austria and talks to the engineers in one of three videos that are about the Glock 44. I think when you understand all the research and development that went into it you might appreciate the gun more now bottom line is is it going to be reliable and is it going to function and is it not going to blow up in your hand like some of the videos out there show and the one you showed earlier in this video of yours where it shows the gun blowing the extractor out of the side of the slide and cracking it right there in the guy's hands I'm sure that was scary as hell. But I've got to ask what kind of ammo was that was he running a homemade or self loaded ammo or what because 22 rounds in general are sketchy cartridges relative to most Center fire ammo so I don't care what 22 you're using if it's the Beretta or if it's the Taurus tx22 or whatever there's going to be reliability issues just because the type of ammo especially if you're using cheap Remington ammo. Also speaking of Taurus tx22 they're getting mad recalls from barrels that are just horrible they've got a big problem Taurus does with their tx22. There was a review out there by somebody where he could not get the gun to not Keyhole because the bullets were leaving the barrel with strange energies imparted upon the bullet that caused them to want to Keyhole and hit sideways and Tumble and I don't know why that's happening with Taurus barrels in their 22 but it is something that is going on which if I've got a 22 that has a feeding issue okay I'm going to look to the magazine of the ammo but if I've got a 22 where it's key hauling every shot that comes out of the gun then I've got to look deeper into what's happening it's not going to be just because of the ammo. But anyway I just wanted to throw that out there you were talking about newer gun companies weren't doing their due diligence and researching before releasing guns and first generation releases are always terrible well despite how the Glock 44 pans out over time I can't predict but if you look into the info about that gun and what Glock did to develop it they definitely did not slouch around they held that guns release for over 3 years until they got what they thought was all the Kinks were worked out obviously they weren't all worked out because with some ammo the gun is not reliable. Having said that I do own a Glock 44 like I mentioned above and long as you use reasonable ammo like aguilaria or Winchester Federal CCI Blazer Mini Mags stuff like that I don't have any problems and there is a magazine made by ProMag that holds 18 rounds Plus One in the Chamber so the Glock can actually hold as many rounds as any other 22 Handgun maker that exists at present. Now the Pro Mag product I must add this caveat that it's not really the best thing to try to fit 18 in that magazine because then it has its own feeding issues that crop up but it can hold 15 or 16 rounds very easily and reliably and that puts you in the range of having 15 + 1 or 16 + 1 in that gun and the ProMag magazine does not hang out the bottom of the gun it's the same size it fits entirely in the grip. It's maybe an eighth of an inch longer than the stock magazine but you can hardly tell the difference from it being in the gun versus the stock magazine and they're only like $18 from ProMag. So you have a cheap option to get more capacity with about the same reliability at least in my experience. But I have not had nearly the negative issues that I've been seeing on these various reviews. I paid about $380 for mine from Sportsman's Warehouse in 2021 and I've been very happy with mine except I hate the trigger and in fact I hate all stock Glock triggers they all suck so I will upgrade my trigger eventually here but so far I've just been dealing with pretty much the gun as it came that is other than the larger magazine I haven't really done anything to the gun but mine Shoots Great my only other complaint would be that it's a dirty gun because it's straight blowback and is not a lot to breach you end up getting a lot of gas and crap coming out the chamber side between rounds and it just dirties up the gun like crazy being a polygonal Barrel it's really easy to clean and with the fluted chamber that also helps it clean easy but as far as the other parts of the gun it quickly gets filled with debris and unburnt powder and soot whereas I've got a Walther PDP that is almost the cleanest gun I've ever had you really hardly need to do anything to clean it it's really well designed I think my PDP is probably my new favorite handgun for the time being. If Money Was No Object I would get a brno PSD chambered and 7.5 mm and never buy another pistol again in my life LOL

Most companies use the first run of buyers to beta test the product. Cheaper than doing good quality testing. Car companies have been doing it for decades lol.

my first question would be, the hell kind of ammo was he using, the way that bun blew up, I'd blame the ammo first because that slide was ripped apart and that looks like a bad round, NOT a bad slide --- just eyeballing it

"if what Im hearing on the internet is true" uhhh one phrase not to say when you want to gain new subs..if you arent seeing it for yourself then done say that it has problems

The .22 TCM is such a sweet concept. When I was into 1911s, I wanted to get a double stack 9mm conversion from Rock Island. I'd like to see how it stacks up against a 5.7 (Gel test video, anyone? 😊)

If u buy a plastic gun your asking for problems .i stick to all steel frames

Good ammo no problems simple

Having a “ton-of-problems,” from a guy that’s getting a TON-OF-IT!!!

Thats crazy i wanted one i guess ill get a taurus tx 22

6:37 You never heard of the caliber?!? Who are you sir?!!

Glock 44 has performed much better than my previous .22 handguns. Stop shooting really crappy ammo and your problems will be solved. Winchester and Remington is awful .22 ammo. I have never had a misfire or fail to feed using CCI.

Beretta and CZ are doing pretty well. Not to mention Taurus. Just saying.

I just purchased Glock 44 and my first gun. I am a woman and didn't want anything too much caliber at first. We did shooting in woods this past weekend and I loved it! We did however have a whole round have 4 shells that jammed in the slide. Is this normal?

A guy in my hometown bought one and after 50 rounds the G44 blew up on him. He was even shooting CCI bullets.

Mine works great.

i had mad fun shooting this at the range

Taurus, makes there first 22 handgun in America, only issue - choosing the wrong company to make there barrels. Glock makes G44 in Austria with a Plastic Slide, gun blows up in people's hands. #LawsuitCity #BuyAmerican

NO problems with my G44. HOWEVER I did not take the pistol out of the box and go straight to the range to shoot. I field striped it, cleaned and lubricated it then manually operated the slide MANY times. So by the time I went to the range it had been subjected to a pseudo breaking it process. Whether or not that pseudo breaking-in process had anything to do with the smoothness with which it performed is something I cannot say for sure. Anyone that knows anything about manufacturing processes SHOULD know that in a manufacturing plant some of its products will not function as they should. When someone is cranking out thousands of units at a time some of those units WILL NOT OPERATE as they should. That includes high dollar items. Anyone ever hear of an expensive auto that turned out to be a LEMON? More importantly is how the manufacturer provides GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER THE SALE.

So basically this is an ad for your sponsor's higher priced option. Nothing concrete on the actual G44. Thanks...

Its not a 5.56 cut down its a 9mm cut down

I love my G44.

It shoulda been the Glock 22 that has 22. Mil , that would be cool

M&p 22 compact best 22 pistol out there going on 2000 rounds likes to gobble up cheap 22 ammo and pretty accurat at 30 feet.

My G44 runs great! Some of the .22 ammo was crap.

Just sent in for the 2nd time. Bullets keep jamming in slide. They did not fix the first time it was sent back. Let's see what happens when I get it back.

.22 TCM has almost as much muzzle flash as a snub nose .375 Magnum.

Buy the Taurus TX22 instead! All the features you want and 16rd mags! Also it reliable with any ammo. I’m a Glock Fan but this 44 is a dud!! I’m sure they will fix it but it’s still way to much money.

22 TCM cost per round is the same as 9mm sometimes more. Dumb conversion. No point to it.

WHAT A FLAMETHROWER !

This guy reminds me of someone who has still a lot to learn and he won't learn it from KZfaq. If you're gonna comment on a gun at least shoot one first. This video is so funny I'm laughing here

About a year ago, talk to glock, about a new side designed, make the 22lr, and 22mag models, using a , stamp steel side with a steel block, can you aluminum. Side, with steel block, like tx22, and use stamp steel side with steel block, for 22mag, because of pressure, from mag 22 ammo, , call them glock 44-1 for 22lr And glock 44-2. , for 22mag, , I think glock don't want to buy, my, idea or concepts, , so I stand in soup line. , basically I think glock has to buy, those ideas and concepts, from the designed development engineer department, at TURASA, but still waiting in the soup line.

Had no problems with mine. As far as that g44 exploding, what ammo was he using ? My guess is stingers , way over powered for semi auto pistols, they should only be fired in bolt guns or heavy revolvers, all my m&p 22 rifle and hand guns specificly warn against the use of that type of ammo, they say it will damage you guns. I blame that on the ammo manufacture, for not warning people .

For the sake of crazy arguments, can someone who has had good to great luck with theirs, best ammo? I understand what Glock recommends, that’s not what I’m asking. Thanks in advance- I have about every cci- and currently- Aguila super extra 40 grain and American Eagle 36 grain hp’s - shooting a buddies new one this Friday.

I like to Rock Island 22 TCM 1911 at 22 TCM runs about 20 to $25 a box for a 50

I LIKE 22LR, BUT WOULD NOT BUY THE G44 GLOCK GEN 5 THAT WAS SENT TO THE FBI HAD SLIDES FALL OFF !! THE PRICE OF THE G44 WITHOUT A THREADED BARREL ???? THE TAURUS TX22 AT 16RDS, THREADED BARREL AND MUCH CHEAPER GUN !!

My runs fine

You only buy 22 in a revolver .. nothing to talk about

Got early model not glock fan. I like it a lot. Forest gump style lol. I’m a firearms fan. Anyway think it’s loading ammo problem. When loaded with bullet pointing up in mag works great put ammo in fast pointing straight or down not good. Problems. My thoughts.
