Suppressor barrel should be a $30-$35 upgrade. I understand trying to fill the initial orders first, but it should be an option in the future.

Does this thing have a tilting barrel? Hopefully it will run fine with a suppressor.

Quote HistoryQuoted: People are missing the point of these lol. G44 is a training tool. For example, on duty I carry a G17.4. I don’t shoot my 1911’s often or put tons of ammo through them because the grip angle and manual of arms is different. If I did nothing but shoot 1911’s all day, and had to unfortunately be put in a situation where I had to use my duty gun, I’d want to be as well trained to the draw, grip angle, manual of arms, and sight picture of glock as I possibly could be. In those situations you resort to your training. Well, if all I’ve shot in the last month is 1,500 rds of 1911 / .45 acp, I’ll most likely have a screwed up draw and presentation. For me, all my other guns are fun range guns. Glocks are carry, competition, duty guns. Now I can have a .22lr that mimics a G19 that I can practice with and not break the bank with ammo and have a different “flavor” of something to shoot. Ive been wanting a .22 pistol for awhile now that my suppressor is in. I almost picked up a ruger mk4 but really don’t care for getting tons of pistols that are so odd compared to glock. Is the G44 better than a ruger mk4? I mean none of us have shot one so idk how you can “feel” like it is. It has a different purpose. A ruger mk4 is NOT a trainer. It is NOT a duty gun. It’s a plinking / small game / competition gun. That’s it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The weight, recoil impulse, etc of a .22 caliber pistol like this is so foreign to that of any centerfire service caliber as to make it's value as a training aid dubious at best, IMO. I'll continue to train with 9mm ammo. I'd like to buy a 44 in the future, provided higher cap mags and a threaded barrel are available at reasonable costs. I shoot aboit 10,000 9mm a year (not a lot to some people) but being able to supplement that with another way is gonna be awesome. Or people who can’t afford that much 9mm. Shooting 2,500 .22lr out of a gun that is exactly like your carry gun is better than shooting 300 rds every 6 months through it. At least grip angle, sight picture, trgger pull, manual of arms etc. is the same. |

When I was working full time in LE we adopted AR-15’s. I had been a pistol and shotgun shooter and very little tactical rifle. I used a AR-15 dedicated to 22 LR set up just like my duty rifle. I also had an Advantage Arms 22 conversion for my Glock. I’d shoot a minimum four or five 550 round Federal bulk packs a month through my AR-22 and AA kit. It helped my shooting ability a bunch and even though I was older I could still shoot as well as guys a lot younger.
I still shot some centerfire but I shot a lot of rimfire. I noticed the most improvement in shooting rifles and it really helped my confidence in making off hand precision rifle shots. I shot a lot of steel plates out to 130 yards with pistol and rifle. Ultimately I think the extra trigger time is beneficial. I could have never had the time or money (reloading) to shoot that much centerfire ammo. A side benefit for me was the shooting was a stress reliever for me. Everyone is unique but shooting 22’s worked for me and was very enjoyable. |

Most of you are right, the Glock 44 debut was far overplayed for what it is. The commercial alone is odd, lots of nature mixed with minor urban models, and mostly women shooting it. I get it though, appealing to the mass market. On the flip side it probably is the most unique designed pistol released since the Glock 17, disregard whether or not it was released years too late or not. There otherwise hasn't really been innovation but more so sequences of models.
Having said that, I've always wanted to put a .22lr in the stable and this fits the bill. I run a G19 Gen5 at the range and it will also likely be my carry gun. I can afford to shoot 9mm in whatever volume I see fit, so that's a moot point. I do like the idea of running a G19 sized .22lr gun for focusing on the training principles at a far cheaper cost. This is a gun I plan to own for...ever? So I will get my return in investment by far and I don't need to modify my equipment to accommodate it. Let alone, my fiance can finally get back to shooting pistols with a caliber which has far more manageable recoil. So call the above my....opinion...man. That's where people get this all contorted, it's just differences of opinions. |

Quoted: It's one reason I like the old Colt 1911 .22 ACE. No it's not .45 levels but it does have some recoil. Manipulation...mag changes...drawing..., things done on a shot timer, is where most folks fall apart. That's what I liked about my .22 kit on my AR....and what I will like about the G44. You can get a lot of reps working thru a 525 rd box of Federal .22.... If a person is just shooting pop bottles back behind the barn....then yeah....it might not be for you. |

Glock 1-16 were not pistols or prototypes. They were his patents for other things including curtain rods, entrenching tools etc. Glock 17 was his 17th patent. The pistols were named sequentially after that. The Glock 23 isn't his 23rd patent just the 6th pistol after the 17. |

Questions for the guru's... just how many rounds of 22 could physically be made to fit and run in a G19 sized mag? I would think if Magpul or one of the other mag makers came out with a 20-25 rounder (what I would guess could fit) would make a great woods plinker. Give me a way to pop on a can and I am in all day everyday.
