Glock .22 G44...?
- Thread starter plong
- Start date
Unless you are looking for a Glock 44 to be a trainer for a higher caliber Glock, there are certainly better options. If you are just looking for a plinker, Ruger MK IV is still one of the best bets out there. If you want higher end, look at Volquartsen.
Ive put over 25k rounds through mine, I can't kill the damn thing. I got it after one of the gun mags boasted that they'd put 10k rounds through it without cleaning and it still going strong. I thought surely this is some Glock fanboy BS. I was proven wrong.
There may be better options if you've got specific requirements, but its a great trainer, and good for beginners.
The ProMag 18rd magazines are terrible though, if you're looking for increased capacity.

My dad won one in a raffle, with the dead air mask on the barrel it’s a hoot.
No, it’s not “great” and feels daily cheap but it’s a nice little gun that hasn’t really misfed that I can think of. Kids (me) really like just plinking at cans 10 yards away. Won’t win any accuracy contests or steel challenge etc

I have number 66 of the first run, been run hard and just keeps running. A great trainer for the other Glocks . Wish it would come in a MOS but as I hate the Glock mos system maybe not bad thing .
The promag 18 rounders can be finicky but out of 5 I have 3 that run perfectly. The only promag anything that I’ve ever had run well.
Shoot a lot of critters with the G44 . Works WAY better than any conversion kit I’ve ever tried .

If you're a Glock guy, it's a great inexpensive trainer. Mine has ran fantastically with a plethora of ammo from, old Wildcats, Lightnings, Vipers... even Blazer stuff ran fine.
Always planned to get a G44, then heard Taurus was decent for the $ but couldn’t resist last month when I saw a Keltec P17 for $180+tax at Academy. Ugly little puke eats everything, accurate enough plinker and makes a nice host for the Oculus. Probably not a serious target pistol (my M41 & MkII scratch that itch) but pretty fun for the $.
My g44 has been flawless. It’s not a “fun” gun in my opinion. It’s a trainer. There are so many other 22s that are better for fun and competition. I own a few of the rugers and my favorite 22 plinked is the Taurus tx22, it actually is amazing!
If you want Glock platform it’s great, otherwise I think there are better options.

If it’s the gun I’m thinking about, when it came out it was a complete turd. Only has 10rd mags, Tarus has 16, if that’s important. Perhaps it has gotten better, though?
Did a bunch of research when I was in the market when the G44 was introduced (~2020), and had prev bought some Walter 22LR pistol that was so bad that the gun shop allowed me to return it. Swapped to a Ruger MKIV tactical only because it was in their inventory. That is a great gun, but only 10rd mags as well and it’s a whole different grip angle and weight.
Even the glock fanbois seem to suggest the TX22?
Honest Outlaw’s first look review does not start out well and he ultimately wasn’t a fan at the vid’s end. I can’t find his 1000rd review…perhaps he disliked it enough not to even complete his 1000rd test? Dunno.
Anyway, that’s what I recollect and what I’ve dug up. Guys that have actually owned it will probably have more valid and up-to-date info for you.

Checkout the Sig P322. Full sized gun with three 20 rd mags, a threaded barrel, and a holster.
