Glock 19 size, polymer/steel mixed slide for weight.
I'll grab one eventually for a fun gun but otherwise not a big deal for me |

Total fail. Most of glock’s customers are not 12yr old kids or 80yr old women. They claim to be listening to their customers but make a huge release for something we didn’t ask for. So disappointed.

I already have a dedicated Glock with Advantage arms upper on it. 10 rounds.
I think there are 12 rounders for it out there. This is a nothing burger. I will probably pick up a used one. I am in no hurry. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: One major complaint with the AA kits is that they are picky about ammo. Glock's web site says: "The G44 was thoroughly tested with a wide variety of ammunition to ensure maximum performance and redefine what small can do." If they are a lot less finicky about ammo and threaded barrels become available, I can see them being popular-even more so if someone comes out with a higher capacity magazine. Any rimfire firearm is picky about shitty ammo. |

If it's truly reliable and the threaded barrel is appropriately priced, I'll likely pick one up.
I have a 19 frame hosting an AA slide with threaded barrel which is my favorite 22LR host, but it IS a little picky with ammo. If this design is a winner, I'll toss the 19 slide back on the frame and sell the AA kit. Definitely not a "WOW factor" release, but will make a great suppressor host if it runs - AND that AA kitted glock is my go-to for training new shooters on a handgun platform without introducing fear and flinch. Besides that it's just plain fun... My BIGGEST concern is that it doesn't get marketed as a viable defense platform "for the ladies".... |

The appeal to me of this type of .22 has always been the commonality of form and function with larger caliber pistols. I see it as a great option for training kids and other first time shooters on a caliber that will allow them to develop the fundamentals without being thrown off by the noise and recoil. Back when I was primarily a SIG user, I grabbed a Mosquito thinking that it be a great training tool. It was a terrible, unreliable pistol. Now that I’m a dedicated Glock user, I see this pistol as a great option for introducing my young kids to handguns through a model that will allow them to transition to my 9mm Glocks when they get older and more competent with the platform.

I've been wanting a new .22 pistol. But, I'm not excited
bout this G44. It doesn't seem to stack up against Taurus "TX". I think one would get more bang for their buck w/the Taurus. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The directions from AA specifically say to not use a particular brand of ammo. If you use decent quality ammo and not shitty bulk pack, you have better results with any rimfire firearm. Any rimfire firearm is picky about shitty ammo. Sticking with AA for now. Especially since you can buy one no FFL and they take Glock standard sights and have a variety of models. Almost any double stack frame gen 3 through 5. And the AA has 15 and 25 rounders (for the 25 rounders to work it needs to be CCI and the gun clean) |

It's interesting that the slide in the picture above says "Austria" on it. I wouldn't have thought it would make enough points to be imported and they'd have to make it domestically.

Bingo, same exact use case here. My son just started shooting and I’ve been using a SW MP22 Compact which is a great gun but everything else I own is a Glock so I’d prefer to keep things consistent. This is a great gateway gun for new shooters. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I think it is a fine offering.
Some of you guys are shitting on it because it is Unexciting. A .22 that is a near clone of your carry gun? I don’t get the disdain. Sure it isn’t the mythical glock pistol caliber carbine but it is a cool little trainer. I wish they didn’t go with the metric threads on the barrel and the supplied M9 to 1/2” adaptor. Just make the standard American thread for the US market and the M9 for Europe and other metric places. CZ rimfire rifles after years finally switched from metric to inch threads. When I move to the free world after retirement I am getting one and suppressing it.  I am not a Glock fan, not a hater either, more neutral. I just picked up a CZ Kadet topend (.22lr) for my P07. I haven’t shot it yet but my initial impression is I like it better than a G44. Sounds like the G44 has the potential to be a great suppressor host. |

Genius move by Glock to keep the famous/infamous "function over form" styling of their centerfire pistols.
You either love or hate how Glocks look, and this pistol won't change anybody's opinion. Glock shooters will love the familiarity.... and I bet they sell boat load of them. |
