I have read/viewed just the opposite that the Glock 44 shoots well with almost anything and that was a design goal of Glock. The video I posted above shows the wide variety of ammo they used during that including bulk Federal 525 and CCI Blazer bulk. I believe a lot of "reviewers" never clean and lube a new pistol correctly either before reviewing. | |||

Lots of problems reported about crap barrels that lead heavily with the Taurus causing poor accuracy and slide wear concerns too along with poor customer service. Extensive thread about this at the High Road forum. No thanks. For not much more than the Taurus I recently bought new Browning Buckmark that is far superior. For a poly frame 22 pistol I would trust the Glock 44 over the Taurus TX22 any day. | |||

Just shot one the friend just bought it worked only with cci mini mags and stingers. Nothing but ftf and fte with Remington. I hate the way it feels very light, too light | |||

so sexy it hurts |
I put 500 rounds through my 44 today, all through the threaded barrel both suppressed and unsuppressed. I used CCI minimags, standard, subsonic, Fed bulk pack, Automatch. The only issues I had were failures to feed from slide lock three times, and all with the automatch ammo which I find pretty crappy anyway. It is accurate, reliable, and balances well with two different suppressors. Great gun but I want to change the sights. I'm going to wait and see if anyone else does this as the slide is polymer and I don't want to screw anything up by adding metal sights to the gun. I'm also going to wait a while before I buy any more mags for it. I hope someone comes out with working higher cap mags. I don't see why Shield Arms couldn't make a 20 round flush fit mag for his gun.  "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

Same story as Agony. I used Fed Ultramatch, Aguila, and Gemtech (CCI made) subsonic. Shot suppressed and unsuppressed. No issues, a little blowback with the can on. All rounds fired, sights were in but I am not a fan of Glock sights so will change soon. I’m a fan. | |||

Another G44 review: https://youtu.be/Ginch2koH8E | |||

My local dealer (largest dealer in CT with in door range attached to the store) today told me their range G44 cracked the slide after 1.5 days in the range. They have been selling a ton of them, I came in to buy one and he brought it out and showed me. I had just read the thread on the S&W forum a couple hours before I went to the store. I actually dismissed it as internet rumor, as I couldn't fathom .22 doing that to a slide. I mentioned it to him and he brought it out. | |||

Nice review and thanks for debunking the rumor that it is picky on ammo. Several other new owners on other forums also said it shot everything they tried well. I am hoping to try the Glock 44 out this week at my local gun store range. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
from the cracked slide thread linked above, consensus replies suggest that it was from an OOB cartridge situation.  | |||

Didn't they say that they spent years of development and over a million rounds of ammo? Or something like that that. If that is true wouldn't these problems have been seen before it hit the market? | |||

Fired a friend's G44 yesterday afternoon. 350 rounds total. Gun was not cleaned or lubed, factory lube only. Federal Auto Match, CCI standards, CCI Mini Mag, and Thunderbolt. Had one failure where the first cartridge of a magazine failed to load and was at a very steep angle with bullet jammed against breech. I was able to duplicate this by not seating the last round in a mag all the way rearward. I blame myself for the malfunction. The trigger felt exactly like any other Glock. The mags are very easy to load with the side buttons that help you pull the follower down being very ergonomic. Accuracy was great. I will be buying one. | |||

You know that slide crack brings up a thought. OOB .22 detonations are FAIRLY common all things considered and when shooting lots of .22. I call them KaPOPS!!! as they don't warrant being called BOOMS!!.  At any rate with that plastic slide I would imagine a KaPOP! would be far more likely to do "catastrophic" damage then with a metal slide. Chris "Guns are tools.

Just a WAG but if you got a KaPOP! during an OOB situation, if the ejector was in the correct position, blowing it out of the gun that would explain the crack, Doubt it was a defect upper that had a crack which dumped the ejector during normal firing. But then again I was wrong once, | |||

I put the Ameriglo Spartans on it tonight. It was the easiest set I’ve ever installed. I pushed them 3/4 of the way just with my thumb and then finished the job with my universal sight pusher. The ghost Edge didn’t work so well. It would not reset until you fully released the trigger but I’ve had that problem with Ghost before. I call them tomorrow and get a replacement. I also shot 100 golden bullets today. So far I have about 700 rounds through this gun and it’s been flawless. I am happy with this gun. | |||

Good to hear. I am hoping to read a well detailed report about accuracy of the Glock 44 from a rest some time soon. Glock was saying one inch groups at 25 yards with the right ammo. On Pistol Forum a member there had issues with Bulk Federal in his new Glock 44. He then said after proper cleaning and lubing with Slip 2000 the problems went away and the Federal bulk pack ammo worked fine. Factory oil/grease are more about keeping metal from rusting and not the best lube and with the low powered .22 it is not surprising a good lube can make a significant difference in a new pistol. | |||

I'm 500 rounds in and pretty pleased. If it cracks, or goes pop, I'll just send it in to get a new one. I think that this gun and a good dry fire program can net some pretty substantial skills gains. | |||

Didn’t read the whole thread, so I hope this hasn’t been mentioned. As soon as I heard about the G44 I wanted one. I never buy anything new when it first comes out, but I was going to make an exception for the G44, but I can’t find one. (Small town, small LGS). I watched 22plinkster’s review on it this morning. The only negative review I’ve seen, so it seems like I’d be better off delaying my purchase for a few months. Cracked slide? WTF? --------------- Gary Will Fly for Food... and more Ammo Mosquito Lubrication Video If Guns Cause Crime, Mine Are Defective.... Ted Nugent | |||

I am far from a Glock Fan guy. I have only owned one. It was taken in on trade at the local gun store, and went into the case for sale. It never made it home. That all being said. This is a bunch of hogwash. I shoot a lot of 22lr, multiple cases per year. Almost all of that is semi auto 22lr. I have had OOB (out of battery) fires in EVERY semi-auto 22lr pistol I have owned. Sig, hammereli, browning, hi-standard, colt, marvel unit 1, and 2, GSG, Ruger, and smith and wesson, volquartsen and all others I forgot to mention. Every single out of battery fire happens just like 22 plinkster's vid. When you shoot tons of ammo through 22lr pistols, or even a couple of mags at speed. This can happen and this will eventually happen. | |||
