This is why I only buy CCI or Aguila. Most other 22 ammo is jammomatic dirty filthy crap.

I like Glocks. I own several. However, I was not impressed with the G44. Overall, it has a very cheap feel to it. JMHO-YMMV.

I put 200 rounds of CCI mini mags thru mine today, no issues. My 5 year old loved shooting it. Internals in case anyone was interested.

I planned to pick one of these up, but when I went to the gun show and went to get one Saturday, I couldn't warm up to it after handling it. I couldn't get over how cheap the gun felt. Now with all of these reports, I'm glad I didn't get it.

Well as someone thats had a p22 slide hit me in the cheek and can say it does happen
The Glock 44 the OP posted is very simple to diagnose, case head popped, in battery or not (doesnt matter), sent extractor out the side extractor put a huge side load on the extractor spring and guide , as a result the side cracked. |

Perfect storm.
https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/glock-44-failure-to-feed.1806940/#post-28262314 First round feed failures likely eat slide energy and cause ignition slightly OOB. Same bug a boo that keeps Advantage Arms Kits from running 100%. Not enough closing spring strength or the final striker spring compression re-opens the closed slide. AA runs the spring balance as well as is possible and still has the problem with 20 years of trying to get the right balance. Glock plastic slide is an effort at light slide weight so a stronger op spring can be used. Epic Fail! Whether a horizontal load or more likely a verticle load axis, the slide broke. They will continue to break. Shit minimal overload strength and dam poor engineering. The breech face insert is torquing the plastic it is embedded into. The long slide metal rails apparently reinforce nothing useful. |

After buying one of the first Ruger P97s back in 1999 I think that would eject its slide stop, I learned not to buy the early run of any new handgun. Not that I really wanted a Glock 44, but this is making me glad I just didn't run out and buy the first one I saw.

Skeletized slide with plastic molded around it to make it look like a slide. |

Not easy to sort out components from Glock site and random pictures of dirty guns broken or misfeeding or missing extractors.
The Glock plink44 site has yellow lines drawn inside the slide but really provides no real insight. https://plink44.com 
One piece metal system failing even worse because it flexed enough to break a lot of fiberglass reinforced plastic. Probably a simple stamping of the bottom metal. Not ready for prime time. If every blown off extractor breaks the side of the slide, not good. Big chunk missing from this blown slide caught on video. 
There is your metal bottom without the slide’s plastic. There is nothing to understand. A common place .22 OOB destroys the slides. |

The extractor apparently pivots in polymer.
That is looking like the primary weak link in the design. |

JCG I read over this a couple times and maybe I missed it. Did you state when this happened? Was it when cambering the first round or during firing? Also did you have any issues with bullets standing up and not feeding prior to the kaboom?
I ask because the video linked above looks like an OOB to me when the slide is released after his mag change. |

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? |

Like everyone else who had gen 1 problems with firearms, theyll get it fixed. It's a shame they went to market with this, however.
It's also one of the reasons I generally tend to avoid first gen guns, cars and electronics. |

anyone read or hear if the photo of the barrel above with the case stuck in was otherwise clear? Just wondering if there was a squib in it also.

If you watch the video, a mag fired out, slide lock, mag dropped, reloaded, first trigger pull, out of battery firing.
This is not an obstructed barrel in either gun. No squib load. Slide not closed and it fires. OOB firing ruptures case and gas pressure blows extractor out breaking/shattering slide plastic parts. People forget the .22LR pressure spec is 24,000psi. In its own little Glock plastic world, that is a hell of a lotta uncaged pressure. |
