I've owned one with the extra threaded barrel for about two years. Except for the lack of an optic-mounting option and the metric threaded barrel adapter, I like it much more than the SIG 322 that preceded it.

Some will complain about the 10-rd mag capacity, but I've found Pro-Mags to be reliable and cheap.

Have one, it's fully reliable, even with cheap 22lr rounds, have a threaded barrel and I've run it with the Lil Buckwheat can without any hiccups.

Agree the 10rd mags capacity is less than optimal, but single stack 22lr mags are probably a lot more reliable than staggered/double stack.

That being said, I've got a jones for a new Kel-Tec P17 holds 17 rounds and only $199.

That being said, mines been flawless.

Bought one that came into work as a trade in. Filthy, don’t think he ever cleaned it.

Trigger was rough. Took a Ghost Link and a Timney Trigger to make it better.

100% reliable. Pretty cool gun.

ProMag makes an 18 round mag that allegedly works ok. They also sell a 25 round mag too. Dont know if that one works or not.

Ok so
G44 or P22 to run suppressed ?
I have never owned a G44 but wanting to get something in the 22lr line up to teach a newbie to shoot and shooting skills - and want to run it suppressed while doing it.

Mine chokes on Federal blue box but runs like a scared rabbit on most anything else.

I haven’t had so much good luck with my G44 although it runs well enough to be a keeper. My P322 has been functionally flawless so far. And it seems to me that G44 came out before the P322 … but it’s likely that my memory is failing again.

I looked at a G44 recently at a local gun store, and thought the trigger was absolutely terrible. But the, I'll admit that I'm a trigger snob. Maybe a minus connector or a Ghost would help it.

We owned one, was pretty much a piece of junk. Just never worked reliably at all. Got rid of it and picked up another Ruger MKIV.

Both of us are predominantly Glock shooters (99% of our shooting at this point in time) and wanted to really like this gun. Just wasn't to be.

If considering specifically a .22lr service pistol. Why not go for Sig P322 or Beretta M9 .22?

I have the Sig and its an absolute champ. Good trigger and has run flawlessly. I must have fired 5k+ rounds thru it at this point. Have not run into any ammo sensitivity at all.

Not what I found. P322 here shoots great and is a blast however it is more finicky about ammo and magazine loading than the FN 502 and G44.

I picked one up late last year. Over a 1,000 documented rounds through it. I've fed it S&B Club, CCI Standard Velocity, Federal 36 gr HPs, Remington Thunderbolt and a couple other types I didn't write down. I'm seeing between 850-950 FPS muzzle velocity on my Garmin Chrono. I clean it every once in a while and a little oil.

The Glock factory mags run fine, I've got 5 of them.

I find it interesting that we get so many different reports on these pistols. Some seem to run great, others don't. Some won't work with a particular round, others will.

A LOT of early G44s were pretty sucky. Glock had made a lot of bold claims about the gun being very usable with all sorts of .22LR loads, which back then was very often proven to be untrue. I shot one of those early production examples and its reliability was nonexistent with ANY ammo. Fast forward a couple of years or so, and the gun seems to be far more reliable. I've now shot a couple of different G44s since that first one, and both ran pretty well...at least for a .22LR semi-auto. A coworker's G44 ate and spit out everything, but my nephew's example choked on a couple of types of bulk Winchester, but turned around and ran fine with at least a dozen other types of "cheap" loads. I'm still not convinced that it's one that is worth buying; first impressions--particularly negative ones--can be painfully hard to ignore, and I've already had an unfair share of .22LR pistols stinking up the joint.
