Glock 44 22lr Chuckin Review - Most Reliable 22?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Garrett gets his hands on a brand new Glock 44 and puts some rounds through it! We are very excited for our first hand gun review, and even more excited about this one being in 22LR.
2600 rounds through mine so far, I love it.
SwampMarine1911 that’s awesome man! What Ammo?
@@ChuckinTV I have tried 16 different ones, Mini-Mag is flawless, but almost all the rest are good too. CCI Quiet and Aguila Colibri don't work at all (I didn't expect them to) and two Winchester Subsonics worked poorly. The rest including Federal Subsonic and several bulk ammo worked good also. Mine doesn't seem to mind 36gr also, I would say that almost half of my shooting has been 36gr Federal bulk (red box).
@@SwampMarine1911 which mini mags do you consider flawless for the glock44
@@ghostjohnson5103 Both the 36 hp and the 40 rn
I have put 500 rounds through my G44 with only two malfunctions; both stove pipes. I’ve used various bullet weights and velocities. Old cheap bulk ammo through CCI has run through the pistol. I am really impressed!
I had the similar experience with shooting the Glock 44. Absolutely no problems shooting CCI Standard Ammo. This is an accurate and FUN shooter
Kevin B Campbell what grain on the CCI Ammo did you use ?
The fact that the Glock 44 fires with no hang ups or any problems at all with this array of ammunition tell's me that its a reliable .22 semi auto pistol.
Good job from Glock.
Nice review, thanks for showing this one!
Excellent review. Best one I've seen yet on the G-44. Haven't seen anyone else shoot such an ammo variety. Also happy I stumbled across your channel.
Thanks a lot and we appreciate your following! Glad you found us!
That's how my Glock 44 ran out of the box after I cleaned and scrubbed it with a brass brush before shooting it. I will NEVER SHOOT a gun out the box before cleaning and using gun oil. Secondly, I will never use cheap ammo even if a semiautomatic pistol or rifle will run it. I have seen a lot of negative youtube reviews on this Glock 44 22LR pistol, but those folks are shooting cheap ammo and did not clean a lubricate the gun before firing like I and this dude did.
Frank Wood thank you sir! I am under the same school of thought. There is no reason not to go through and clean the firearm. Gives me piece of mine, for one and for two, I get a bunchhhh if manufacturing grime and oils out of these things and bolt action rifles when I do clean them.
Expansive ammo and lubricant needed ? Poor weak gun ...
I have a CZ P07 Kadet 22lr and she only like standard velocity, cheap and expensive. With high velocity i have much stove pipes with the CZ. The Glock 44 looks great, i have the 17 Gen5, the best gun i ever had. 🤩 Greetz from Germany. 🙋♂️
That’s good to hear. I ordered this yesterday, but then saw some negative reviews. I’m not really a gun person, so this is my first gun. Just wanted something for home defense that is reliable given the state of the world right now. I’ll definitely clean it and get good bullets. Even the bad reviews didn’t have any issues with 40 grain. Seemed like the problem was 36 grain and probably uncleaned out of box.
@@murphylawson9859I ran my G44 without cleaning or lubricants and out of the box had zero failure after 350 rounds. 🇺🇸
Hey man, appreciate the great video. You’re one of the only ones whose cleaned it before the fist shot.
That dueling tree has nothing to worry about.
Appreciate the review. I just purchased one a few days ago and awaiting shipping and nice to see a good review on it. A few other channels were dragging it through the mud on reliability but used less than 40 grain bullets with several issues. This vid gave me confidence in my purchase after seeing the other reviews. Thanks.
This is May, 2024 and I bought my Glock 44 this month and took it to the range. I had at least 1 or 2 lite strikes out of all 4 magazines. I cleaned it before I shot it so I don’t know what is going on with mine. When I put the light strike round back in the magazine, they would all fire. I only fired about 100 rounds but it was CCI Mini Mags and Agueila (not sure of the spelling but you know what I’m talking about and they all had lite strikes. It just might need to be shot another few hundred rounds before I send it back to Ruger. Glad you got a good one.
Looks good! Did you hear that CCI released special edition ‘Stangers’ in honor of .22plinkster? That was pretty funny.
Thereal111t I did see that. We wish we were that cool. No not really 🤣 - Garrett
500 rounds through mine and only had 2 issues with the 1st mag ran thru thru it. This gun loves 40 grain for sure as that all I've ran through mine.
I just brought the glock 44 22lr today and I took it to the range after I clean it and I love the gun so far
Excellent review! Hope to see more! Thanks!!
I recommend people to carry this if they have never carried just to get a feel and then move on to something bigger.. Or hell my G 44 so reliable that I recommend people cherry with some hot rounds like some interceptors or stingers
Nice review, well spoken and concise. Still going to hold off. Thanks.
Great review. I have one with 5 total mags. The 2 that came with it had multiple malfunctions until I saw a video about turning it upside down and pulling the assist tabs so that they fell free. I didn’t need to do it with the 3 extra I bought and my buddy has one and his don’t need it either. So, I don’t think it’s product wide but for those who do have problems, try this trick and see if that solves it. After those first couple mags, it has been 100% reliable with hot ammo and Subs. Love it.
Great review with a nice variety of ammo. Thanks, keep it up.
I’ve got 2k rounds through mine in about 2 weeks and cleaned it once. I’ve shot about 15 brands of ammo and 4 of those were bulk boxes of 36 grain. I’ve had I think 5 malfunctions total. 2 ftf and 3 fte. The cheapest ammo I’ve tried is cci blazer and American eagle feeder which is about 8 years old lol. Function flawlessly. I absolutely love mine!
Great video guys. I was pleasantly surprised when my notification popped up and I seen a glock review. I'm a glock fan so of course I loved the video, but all around, im diggin' the pistol review 👍. Looking forward to some spring hog huntin' too!
Jason Murray thanks a lot! I’ve had no issues with any of my glocks and they’ve always been super nice to shoot, we can’t wait for springtime either! Thanks for following along. - Garrett
Bought mine last Thursday a really great pistol Very fun to shoot was very ran good with multiple types of ammo a little bit of trouble with federal bulk pack Great video thank Don’t forget your safety glasses
Over 7,000 rounds and running like a Glock ... Love it Shoot my G44 on a regular basis... well over 300 rounds a week some weekends with buddies out.....Great plinker....
Good review of this gun, concise and to the point. I am surprised at it's performance. I have a S&W M&P .22 Compact that would have choked on some of that ammo. The only ammo I have found that is choke free in the M&P is Federal Automatch.
1400 trouble free through mine, it runs flawlessly. About the only round I haven't tried is subs.
Clutch Cargo they won’t work. I tried two different kinds both cci. Even the semi auto quiet stuff doesn’t cycle it. Stick with what you’re shooting and carry on :)
I tried subs. Had to rack the slide manually after each shot. I only did it for the hell of it. Subs are best in bolt action riffles.
@@dagaines152 I figured with such a short barrel, all of the ammo we can get is subsonic in this gun anyway, with the exception of CCI Stingers, so I didn't bother with subs. If I actually had a threaded barrel and silencer to try them with, it might be different, but I have neither. Besides, I don't think one would need subs, pretty much everything is subsonic.
I was just gifted this G44 last Thursday, 30th Jan.
Been watching some vids here, as I am planning on taking it out to test it out this coming Wednesday.
Pax Vobiscum make sure you clean it up nicely before you take it to the range and you shouldn’t have any issue.
@@ChuckinTV Already Done and now standing by for WEDNESDAY test run at the range. :)
Pax Vobiscum there yah go! Sounds good. Let us know how it goes!
Liked and subscribed. You have a good one. Lots of videos of this gun choking.
Thanks Jay. I'm under the impression it could be a lot of ammo issues and that's why I wanted to test a variety to see. As you know, the quality of 22lr is so-so at best for the vast majority. I think keeping the gun clean and cleaning it out first is key. Get the micro-grit out of it and it should run like a top.
Nice review. I like that you keep them fairly short. Too many gun reviews are way too long. I think the load assist tab is great, especially for those of us with hand issues like arthritis.
Thanks a lot! I’m a straight to the point kind of guy but I also like to give as much info as possible so people can be informed on what exactly it is we are trying to accomplish in each test. - Garrett
I don’t keep track of rounds shot, but I have never had a malfunction with my Glock 44. I shoot CCI and clean my guns after I use them. A Glock, and a little common sense equals reliability.
Agreed. Clean em and they work
Very nice review Chuckin. I subscribed to your channel. I pre ordered my 44 from Buds thinking they would be hard to get when they hit the shelves, well I was wrong and paid an extra $20 bucks, but I now have about 800 rounds thru mine with a lot of different brands and weights of ammo . I love this gun and it now goes to the range every trip. I like warming up with 22lr first then move on to larger cal. guns. I would buy it again even at a higher price.
Great Video!!!💯👍😃
Appreciate your to-the-point review. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the CCI Standard rounds cycled the slide without a hiccup. Standard rounds are great for accuracy with bolt action rifles, etc., but often don't have quite enough oomph to cycle the slide reliably on a handgun. I bought my glock 44 today. Looking forward to getting out on the range with it tomorrow.
Edit: After 2 trips to the range and 650 rounds of several types of ammo, I have had ONE failure. A Walmart Thunderbolt didn't go bang on the first hit. The primer was struck pretty good so I rotated the round, tried again, it went bang.
I am seeing on some other channels (22plinkster for example) that they are having some issues with the gun. I am wondering if there is some variation on the length of the firing pin, firing pin spring strength, chamber depth, or some other issue with the gun. I'm am also not impressed by any of the reviews that start out 'right out of the box' with no cleaning - might as well not watch after that. Like you, I cleaned mine THOROUGHLY before going out. So far, it has BY FAR the lowest failure rate of any of my 22 pistols.
I recommend THOROUGH cleaning before heading to the range for the first time. In particular use a brass brush and VIGOROUSLY scrub out the chamber. Also check the firing pin and spring to make sure there isn't any factory 'grit' that would keep the firing pin from traveling completely forward.
Enjoyed your review and, so far, really enjoying the gun!
Great review thanks....
I really like it but did have some malfunctions with feed and slide a few times.
Saw some other reviews where that G44 had issues cycling 36gr cheap bulk ammo. Glad to see it worked here with your 36gr - I was quite sure it would jam somehow. I'm still on the fence with it. When glock announced it I was like "yeh budddyy - finally a .22lr pistol that will work"....and then I saw some reviews where it was behaving rly bad. Meh...guess I will still wait and see what people say about this pistol. Good review. Cheers from Europe where we can get it with threaded barrel out of the box.
Yep, I've heard or reports, but nothing on my side, yet. Should be a good one and has proven so, so far. I'm going to be trying some other ammo here in the future and will be doing a follow up video. Thanks for following!
I was interested in how the 36 gr hollow point was going to do. Glad to see that at least 20 rounds of that went off without a problem. It seems that other channels are reporting good results with 40 grain round nose, but so so with stuff like Federal 36 grain hollow point.
Nice background miss the snow I'm a g44 owner no issue been through thousand of rounds.. GLOCK👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bought one. Gave it to my brother two days later.
Youre a good brother
BEST 22 pistol ... Another great Glock!
I have a Smith and Wesson 10 round revolver shoots everything no problem
John max congrats!
Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
Got mine in the other day cant wait to go shoot it. Got a vast array of ammo as well. Great video
Jeremy Wilson thanks a lot. Remember to glean it up good before shooting it. I think they really need a good cleaning before banging away at the range.
Well I didn’t clean it per your request lol...only got a 100 in today and only had 5 issues...4 FTF and 1 stove pipe...six different kinds of ammo...seems to me it’s the magazine that’s the issue...other than that I’ll buy another one
Jeremy Wilson try cleaning it and report back 😎😂
Cleaned it took it shooting today not one issue with bulk ammo to boot...I’ll buy another one
Looks like you got a good one. Seems like the may be having production issues some people seem to have lemons.
I think people aren't treating them properly and are getting squib loads. I've got 300rd's through mine now and no issues.
would be nice to have a threaded barrel for us can shooters
I'm sure there will be some aftermarket stuff coming.
There is one that was supposed to be available upon release, but it had the Euro threading on it, not 1/2 x 28.
Great video
I love my Glock 44 I have had no malfunctions and I am using cci 22 lr 40 grain just load the magazine correctly follow glocks guidelines for maintenance and oiling and not your own and it will run smooth , side note did not clean gun before first shots amd did not take the thing apart like I was on a Rambo movie just took it out the box and started having fun
Just had to send mine into glock. Had failure to feeds, failure to eject, and sometimes the slide wouldn’t lock back on the last round. I’ve used 4 or 5 different ammo’s, did the magazine loading tricks and still had issues. Hoping it gets fixed.
Great video ! Run hundreds of rounds through mine without any problems! Best .22 Pistol on the market! Glock haters will always bash Glock for coming out with superior firearms to what they own. I run only quality ammo in mine and runs Much cleaner than bulk junk JUNK!
Plus, you want encounter squib rounds like the photo going around of G44 slide problem after a squib round -- But the Glock haters blamed it on the pistol! Just Idiots!
Sir, I see a G19x I see a discriminating shooter .. then the same man strips & cleans a new purchase ... that's good sense. - I trust such a reviewer.
I shoot mine Saturday. It was brand new. Had troubles ejecting the shell and would not lock open when the magazine was empty. Please help
Clean the hell out of it. And re oil it with polymer safe oil
@@ChuckinTV Thank you Sir
Blazer is NOT the cheapest! Rem Thunderbolts are the cheapest, 22lr money can buy. Blazers also have a wax coating on the lead bullet. Great video, thanks for sharing.
What did you think about the trigger weight? I have yet to live fire mine however the trigger on dry fire seems noticeably heavier in comparison to anything else.
I thought it felt pretty damn good for a $400 gun, it's the same as any other Gen 5 trigger. Take your gun and clean it all out, might have some grease and grime down in there on the trigger bar. Get some G96 and lube er up too
thanks for sharing looks like a nice little plinker!
Winter= 1911 in 9mm summer= Glock44, my Glock 44 has been flawless.and I do give two shits about what you think.
I'm surprised by the results with the Federal range ammo. In every other review that I've seen for the G44, they've all choked on the Federal. In some of them, there were failures to eject on every shot. By my own experience with that Federal ammo, my PPK/S would FTE on just about every other shot, through several mags.
Andrew Gonos I’ve seen that as well. Honestly it’s some of this guns favorite to shoot I think. I just put another 100 through it on Saturday with no issues.
Good job I have seen some foolish things on other channels RE : this gun @1:05 some fools think it's a good idea to take a new gun & shoot it AS IS … lots to see if it can take a Fool behind it ?? Good for You !! Subd !
You know that's what you're supposed to do with Glock's. Take it out of the box and shoot as is. Don't clean off the copper grease, it's supposed to be there to help smoothly wear the slide and rails.
EDIT: Maybe put a little squirt of oil on the vital parts, but that's only on the rails, trigger bar, and barrel. They don't need deep clean's or a complete disassembly out of the box when new.
@@denpabacon8501 NO!!!! No different than any Other cleaning .. read the book or watch a video done by a pro .. Any time you clean it , you should put oil & grease in the right places on ALL guns .. they are not all the same . Other factors to think about as well !
@@danoneill2846 What are you even talking about? For new Glock's you don't have to take it all apart and clean it first. Just put some oil/lube on the trigger bar that rubs against the trigger housing, rails, and barrel.
I wasn't talking about other guns wierdo.
@@denpabacon8501 Don't give bad advice .. live & learn fool .. you don't have the first clue
@@danoneill2846 LOL do you even know what you're talking about? Have you ever read the Glock manual? When you buy a new one, do a basic disassembly which is just taking off the slide. Lube the trigger bar, rails, and outside of the barrel including the part where it makes contact with the slide. DON'T remove the copper grease, and you're g2g.
IDK WTF you're talking about saying it should be completely disassembled and deep cleaned. It's a glock, and I was ONLY talking about a fucking glock.
Weirdo.
I'm guessing you've never used a Walter p22 ? . I've put thousands through mine with nothing but simple wipe downs and oil short of crap amo it has never not once failed . Even when shooting sub sonic rds it feeds everytime .
They look and feel cheaper than a $20 wal mart BB gun. I passed on it and went for a ruger sr22.
Cory Turner Glock has certainly built a gun here to fill a niche market, that market being the one where their target customer is already a 19 or 19x owner and wants a training pistol. They built it for no other purpose honestly. The sr22 platform is well proven and also a great handgun in 22lr
Chuckin' I totally agree. Even though I’m not a fan of the pistol, I appreciate your review nonetheless.
I’m a Glock Guy, but you cannot go wrong w the SR22. Great gun and accurate.
Kevin B Campbell I’ve never owned a Glock and probably never will. I’m sure they are great guns, I just don’t like the look or feel of them. That’s why we all have choices when it come to guns. I don’t knock them, everyone has their own taste and style! Guns are cool no matter what and I’ll never knock someone for owing a Glock or a hi point even though I’ll never own them myself. The Glock 44 is great for training if you’re a Glock person. I have seen some “Glock 44 explodes” posts online lately so look into that if you plan on buying one.
Just bought my G44 two weeks ago. After 700 rounds of mixed ammo, not one single malfunction of any kind. Seen a lot of bad reviews, but I don't get it. This thing just eats everything I feed it. It's a Glock, enough said.
love my 44
What holster is that and where do you position it when carrying?
Chase Heins that is a Lenwood. They are made in MO. It’s an appendix holster but with jeans or brush pants I prefer to carry on my strong side just behind the pocket (right side)
So it’s definitely worth buying? Thinking about picking one up.
The one we have is good, but other reviewers are having issues.
Glasses??
Ron J got any that you prefer?
Enjoyable video. Seems like you got a good one there. My one negative would be, WHERE IS YOUR EYE PROTECTION? C’mon man, please wear them when you’re shooting.
ironhorse67 thanks for your comment and I hear your concerns there. I’ve also been on range days and have seen people get a case lodged between the eye glasses and their face and it’s terrible. If it’s of any constellation, not a single case hit any part of my body during this test. I will wear glasses (and a hat) for future reviews. Thanks!
Ran everything just like mine
I'm starting to think something is wrong with my G44. I've put about 500 rounds through mine and have had multiple malfunctions and stovepipes. I cleaned and oiled the gun and used many different weights and velocities. A lot of the reviews I've seen have had similar issues. Then I watch a video like this where he has no isses with ammo that I have had malfunctions with. WTH?! I like this gun, but it's not fun to shoot when I can't get through a single magazine without a malfunction. Should I try sending it to Glock?
TheMagicalDev Dang sorry to hear that. You don’t want too much oil on it. What kind are you using? I would say spray it down with some polymer sage scrubber again and only put oil on the slide itself where it contacts the steel and a little bit on the action itself but barely any and try again. Make sure the spring is lubed as well and cleaned of debris. Past that I would take it to your dealer first and see if they can take a look at it / send it back.
@@ChuckinTV I am using a standard Hoppe's gun cleaner. I will take your advice and clean it again, but use some other stuff my buddy has which I believe will be better. I hope maybe it's something I did that can be fixed/ changed, and not something wrong with the gun itself. Thank you for the suggestions!
TheMagicalDev you’re very welcome. I like the combo I use because it’s a very light oil and doesn’t create extra friction but it also has a nice solvent built in for when you want to use it as a setting cleaner that you let soak for a little while and then blast out with the polymer safe scrubber. I do that and then spray more G96 on it and then wipe that off just to give it a quick mist of oil and shine it back up
Attention all G44 owners, inspect your firing pin sleeve. Mine has several thousand rounds through it, and it has been trouble free until now. The firing pin is hammering out the slot in the sleeve, and the plastic is curling up. You can see if yours is doing this without removing the slide cover. If you do disassemble it, and have this defect, Glock will blame you for improper disassembly...
Test the taurus tx22 and the new Ruger lcp 22
maverick357 we will consider them. But as I stated in the video, the only reason I wanted to try this gun out was because I have other glocks and I’m a fan of the 22lr itself so I wanted to see how the gun would perform. Have you shot / owned the ones you’ve suggested? Those seem to both be proven 22lr platforms from what I know. - Garrett
Drilled and tapped for a red dot sight?
Jeremy Ortman unfortunately no. Glock has stated that adding a sight or anything could potentially change the way it operates, which makes sense being that it’s 22lr, doesn’t have a lot of power to cycle it if the person were to add a sight, however, I think it would handle it just fine myself. We will see what they roll out in the future now that this one is finally out.
Nice patio
Jason Grant thanks!
😃
If it don't run dirty and with all factory ammo, it ain't a gun.
I just bought me the same gun
Hey, great review thanks for the upload. I think those guns are a pain in the ass 95% of the UA-cam reviewers test that gun has nothing but malfunctions of very kind, it took Glock three years and that's the best they could do with that gun they need to go back for another three years of testing, they said it will eat everything but that's obviously an out right lie.
Walter I think it’s user error. Mine has had ZERO issues.
I have found CCI SV to be the most accurate 22LR out of ALL my Guns: 4 Handguns & 3 Long
22Plinkster Got a Lemon from Glock !
I’m NOT a Glock Fan ! Hurts my wrist !!
I have a ruger sr22 if u want to compare them
ชอบมากเลยคับ😊😊😊

I love my Glock 44! Just got it today. It runs awesome. Here's me running it on cheap ammo right outta the box. ua-cam.com/video/vTGUbz4mtmM/v-deo.html
Ole plinkster has issues with the g44. Lol
Richard Hill nothing to complain about here yet :) just out another 100 through it Saturday.
Did you see the one that blew up??
Yep, doesn't bother me any. I think the guy had a squib load and he was running it like an idiot imho.
TX22 is better in every way
Jwilli 622 every way except for it being a Taurus. But okay.
@@ChuckinTV it might be a Taurus, but it doesn't have endless videos of it malfunctioning and in some cases blowing up in people's hands. Just watch military arms channel or 22 plinksters review. The TX22 was also named hand gun of the year 2019, but it's just a Taurus
@@ChuckinTV shoot-on.com/taurus-tx22-named-guns-ammo-handgun-of-the-year/
Jwilli 622 ok, so what’s your point? This video isn’t to compare it to the Taurus, or ANY other handgun for that matter. Mine hasn’t had a single issue. I believe these guys having issues aren’t cleaning them before they fire them for the first time like you should and who knows how they are handling them in between.
@@ChuckinTV you are claiming the best and most reliable 22LR when tons have had issues, and then someone mentions one that holds more, has a threaded barrel, is half the price. It's no good since it's a Taurus. If you're not comparing dont knock for being a Taurus. I bet the people that had good luck with the Taurus and bad luck with the glock treated them the same. Food for thought on that one.
Wow. Glock copying Taurus instead of the other way around. Ha. I'll save a few hundred and stick with my TX 22 and shoot 6 more rounds out of it per mag
wordprefecto I’m not sure I get the reference of Glock copying Taurus on this one. This gun is quite literally a Glock 19 built into 22lr.
Taurus is a very cheap made pistol, in no way did Glock copy anything of Taurus lol.
Taurus is crap and I’ve never had consistent feeding more than 10 rounds from any rimmed cartridge. No comparison between glock and taurus
wordprefecto Taurus is garbage
@@vettesrule11 Yet when it comes to the same catastrophic malfunction. The Glock 44 darn near exploded while the TX-22 kept it contained and only the barrel was damaged. Also Hipoint is cheaper then Taurus and their guns are incredibly reliable.
In today's world its not about cost but what you research. Higher cost no longer means high quality it just means high ego.
