Turns out it’s a .22 caliber pistol. The Glock 44.
Disappointing.
Disappointing.

To be honest, until we get to the point where we are using directed energy weapons, this is how I feel about any pistol release. I'm not sure there is a ton of room to maneuver on "innovation," at least not that is truly useful to most people.
Glock needs to make and release the 28 here for sure.
I was honestly kinda hoping to see a carbine release
I just want a G21 frame so I can mount a 50GI slide on it 
Or you can just buy an Advantage Arms kit (slide and mag) and buy their 25 round mags...
I hear Glock will be announcing a 2 door coupe with folding front seat next week.
Subbed out to Magna Steyr for sure...….
10 rounds is fine for plinking - and might get it into a few more jurisdictions.
A local shop has shown one with a threaded barrel on Facebook. Probably because regular G19 size is slightly too small for current gun laws over here.
Meh! I like me some Glocks, but 10 rounds of .22LR is a deal-breaker for me. Especially for $400. I've already got a 10-round .22 pistol (Ruger SR-22).
Anyone have experience with the Keltec CP33 (quad-stack 33-round mags!)?? It looks like it would be a hoot!

well, thats the point, it was designed to mirror the 19 in size. As for 10-rd mag, double stack rimfire mags are tricky to feed reliablyI'm VERY underwhelmed. To make matters worse, it's the size of a g19, but only holds 10 rounds- of 22lr.
I love my sr-22!
Yeah... the SR22 is a great little pistol. And, it is LITTLE. But, it's fun and a great plinker. I'd enjoy hearing about any experience with the CP33 from Keltec. 33+1 rounds of 22LR!
I also have a Ruger 10-22 and a Ruger American Rimfire rifle. Also... LOTS of fun... S&W M&P 15-22 (AR-15-style .22LR). And, a Browning BL-22! Love my lever-action 22! Some day, I'd like a Ruger Single-Ten and a S&W 617! Though the new, very economical, Ruger Wrangler is intriguing, too.
If it's true the G44 is the same size as a G19 (which I own), then only 10 rounds is PATHETIC. Big mistake by Glock. It would be a great trainer, if it had at least 15 rounds. Too bad.
I'll buy at least 1-probably 2. They will sell a ton of them.
The thing the glock has over the taurus and Kel-Tech is that its not a Traurus or Kel-tec.....
I agree, I already have plenty of 10 rd. .22lr pistols. A day late, and a dollar short on Glock's part.
I love Glocks. I own several quite a few, two of which are 19s. I probably won’t own a 44, though. Bigger magazine and threadd barrel might change my mind, though.
Until then, maybe the Keltec P17 or CP-33 will get added to my gun vault, especially if they offer it without the manual safety.

www.keltecweapons.com LOL. Me too. What makes me chuckle is that I’ve been to Glock Armorer courses every few years for over two decades. I can’t tell you how many times the instructors were asked about a Glock carbine. For years we were told that they were working on it and to stand by, or they had one but couldn’t import it, or they were working on manufacturing it in the USA, or the special unicorn pubic hair needed to make the trigger less sloppy were hard to source... Maybe some day!
Tricky to make reliable with rimfire and other rimmed cartridges?
Legal in more jurisdictions?
Watching Glock's presser yesterday got me to thinking that to make a 22 semi auto pistol at Glock levels of reliability, they decided to keep the capacity reasonable. It's the size of G19 for a very well thought out reasons...
How many 10+ round 22lr pistols actually run at full capacity? Plus for plinking, first time shooters, and the training market will all be quite happy with 10 rounds. Rhetorically, why are many youth guns single shot only?
Keeping the G44 at 10 rounds and not selling it threaded is a smart business and manufacturing decision. Most consumers are never going to own and suppressor (under current regulations), thus really don't care much one way or the other about the barrel threading. Keeping the number of model and option variations to a minimum keeps costs down all along the supply chain.
Glock is going to offer a factory threaded accessory barrel (as will aftermarket producers). Accessory sales generate much better bottom line margin dollars. Some vendor will make a bigger capacity magazine that may or may not function reliably with more than a dozen rounds.

I have a S&W M&P 22 full size....I've had it for several years. Forget when I bought it. It is the same size as my 9mm, and 40S&W, and 45ACP.....it has been a very fun little gun that youths and women have shot and then graduated up the ladder to the 45....
I'm surprised it took Glock this long to catch up. The S&W is a 12+1. At first I had to take a jewelers file to the slide follower in the magazine to keep it running smooth and not have any fail to feeds...but now it runs fine with a gazillion rounds through it. Buds has them for $379.

I personally know the guy who runs Advantage Arms. Good guy. Good product. And he has mags that are larger than 10 rounds.
Exactly what I was going to say.
I’m sure aftermarket companies will address those issues right away. Then by the time you get the Glock just where you want it you will probably have $800 into it.
Meh.
me too.
