A pistol that Glock describes as designed for “new shooters, sport shooters and everyone in between,” the G44 has a lot to offer.

After its mysterious construction revealed last month, the G44 features an innovative hybrid steel-polymer slide and can be adjusted to any user's hand using the backstraps included with the pistol. Glock's first rimfire pistol is designed to emulate the crowd-pleasing G19, with a 4.02-inch barrel and 7.28-inch overall length—matching the popular 9mm midsize. It also has the same 5.04″ height, which means most G19 cases will work in the G44 if you want to carry a 22LR on the trail or around the ponderosa.

With a capacity of 15+1 and a weight of 30 ounces, the G19 is based on the smaller 10-round rimfire magazine of the G44 and weighs only about half as much.
Glock explained that if their name was on fire, they wanted it to be as reliable as possible. To some extent this led to a 10-shot core designed to make the cartridge nearly impossible to jam.
The single-stack, 10-round G44 factory magazine has a characteristic waffle back and an easy-to-load clip on the left side of the magazine frame. It stacks the rounds properly and is comparable in capacity to the Ruger Mark IV series, Browning Buckmark and S&W SW22 Victory 10 round magazines.
Disassembly of the G44 is similar to any other Glock, although the hybrid polymer/steel slide and compact barrel – rifled chambered – differ from the rest of the family tree.

Handling and removal of the G44 is the same as the G19 or any Glock.
Sights on the G44 feature a traditional polymer front post and U-notch rear, although the rear sight differs slightly from standard Glock factory sights in that it mounts on the rimfire pistol's hybrid slide. Regardless, according to Glock, both the rear and front are compatible with standard sights.
The G44 has much of the same features as the Glock Gen5 pistol, including a beveled pistol grip and non-grooved grip. Unlike all other Glocks, this is a basic blowback action. Unlike many competing pistols, it does not have a fixed barrel.
Unlike several manufacturers who licensed their names to German pistol maker Umarex to make a scaled-down 22LR hand, the G44 is made in the USA by Glock, as evidenced by the many Georgia proof marks on the frame, slide and barrel.

And of course the 22LR G44 is not to be confused with the .40S&W G22. Just say.
The basic problem is that the 22LR is a great cartridge. First marketed as black gunpowder in 1884, pipsqueak with a small lead tip was intended for use in rifles and revolvers, and its rimmed case proved notoriously difficult for pistols. In addition, there are countless loads on the market, each with slightly different specifications and performance. Add to these problems the fact that cartridges are often manufactured by the millions to be as economical as possible, especially for bulk-pack cheap ammo, and you have a cartridge that is finicky for many semi-autos. hand.
To get it right, Glock spent nearly three years testing and developing the G44—which is why models like the G45, G46, G47, and G48 took over the market while the Rimfire trigger was still in R&D. During this time, no less than 141 different fire loads were used during testing, more than 1.2 million shots were fired. Federal, which supported the effort, used everything from the 42 Grain subsonic to the CCI Stinger in the test without issue. In short, while many 22LR pistols carry the caveat that they are picky eaters, the Glock is said to be an omnivore.
FYI, when we were at the G44 reveal event last month, we were there to see a collection of 10 production G44s go through over 12,000 rounds of CCI Blazer bricks in two hours without a jam. No clogging.

We ran 2,200 rounds through our test weapon from various parts of the rimfire world. This included Winchester's new Wildcat bulk, CCI AR Tactical, Blazer bulk, Remington Golden Bullet, Aquila Standard Super Extra (both lead and copper plated), a couple

That's a lot of upside, luckily 22LR prices have come down since 2013, with prices as low as $1.99 for 50 rounds.
A dream based on the experience of over 2,200 rounds of shooting aids and other semi-automatic pistols, pretty much any other magazine can jam or fail.

In our test with the Glock, we had three failures: two failures from disconnecting the Aquila Standard lead with the Super Extra (in the same matrix!), and a Remington Golden Bullet that failed to fire despite a heavy impact mark on the machine. tire. The pistol has been semi-cleaned to remove heavy lead and powder residue.
The G44 was very reliable in testing, with two misfires and one misfire, all with ammunition that ran on the cheap side. In short, it bangs when you want it to and with little frustration.
With the same trigger pull and working aiming radius of the G19, the G44 is easy to shoot. Stable, even at a kilo, almost no recoil, very consistent and hangs on target.
Although not a Volquartsen pistol, the gun still performed well at punching paper. The new Glock rimfire consistently ate up the center of the 25-yard target like a carnival gallery. Note that the G44 uses Glock's new and highly accurate Marksman barrel, just like the other Gen5 models.

This target looks small from 25 yards, but even semi-quick shots and alternating left and right shots are not challenging. At the Glock show in December, steel targets were placed at 108 yards and the connection was made.
Slowed down, we tried several unsupported strings at 25 yards and averaged about 2 inches. Please note that none of the ammunition we use can be considered high quality.
If you were sitting off the bench with a G44 and using some nice Eley Match Slow Pistol, you'd probably have a closer choice.
In addition to being a fun firearm – which is crucial for introducing new and novice shooters to the sport – the G44 clearly supports those who may be transitioning to the more carryable G19. Also, those who already own a G19 or equivalent can benefit from the inexpensive live fire training of the G44, where mass use of the .22LR is only about a quarter of the cost of even cheap 9mm ammo.
Glock G44 Magazine
For those who want a shotgun for pest control or camping or in the hunting lodge in the spring when nope ropes are active, the G44 fits into a standard G19 holster and is even an easy option with an accessory rail. In short, with the right ammunition, it can even be used as a defensive pistol, especially if someone is shy about backing down.
The downside is that if you want to use the can on the G44 and enjoy quiet time, you have to buy the threaded cylinder separately and it uses European metric threads with a 1x28TPI adapter, even if you make the suspension for the extra tube. Also, the magazine capacity is not as large as, for example, the Taurus TX22 (16+1) or the Kel-Tec CP33 (33+1), but neither is a Glock.
The Glock G44 has an MSRP of $430 – likely lower at retailers – and will be available after January 20th. By comparison, aftermarket subcaliber kits that convert a standard Glock to .22LR start around $300. That said, the G44 top can't be easily added to the G19 frame as it has different internals, so don't count on that.
At the end of the day, if you're looking for a reliable .22LR semi-auto pistol that mimics almost everything about the Glock G19, the G44 is the way to go. Rimfire is life is a recurring mantra on The Firearm Blog. And when a top hunting manufacturer with a wide selection of world-class defensive pistols changes direction and focuses on the .22LR cartridge, our faith is further strengthened. Today we are looking at the GLOCK 44 .22LR pistol.
