I have shot 1500 or so through a Glock 44 and I have had maybe 2-3 stove pipes. Round placement in the mag is important and the gun loves 40 grain! No issues with 40 grain Winchester black coppers.
Shoot nothing but 40 gran through mine and not a issue.
The problem is that Glock told everyone that their G44 was gonna be THE best .22LR pistol on the market and they talk about how it was tested for YEARS before they released it because they wanted a gun that worked with ALL types of .22LR ammo, cheap and expensive! They didn't do anything revolutionary, they were just late to the game...
CCI Mini mag 22LR shot over a thousand rounds 1 misfire the 44 Glock loves CCI 22LLR
i have a beretta M9A1 22LR and a Beretta U22 Neos and a Glock 44. shot all 3 guns Saturday, exact same ammo from same box in all 3 guns. 1,000 rounds fired. the Beretta 22 pistol's never had a single malfunction. the Glock 44 had problems all day. many different problems, like stove piping , not ejecting, not cambering & slide over riding the round in the mag. if my Beretta's can fire 330 rounds every day without a single problem then why can't the Glock 44. i am not impressed with this gun.
I just fired one at the range. I loved the gun. Light, smooth and shot like butter. I did have one misfeed out of 200 rounds, but 22s can do that. Didn't experience any slide problems and was rapid firing. Overall, I liked the gun quite a bit.
Several thousand rounds through my G44. it had some malfunctions up til 200 rounds or so," NORMAL" for any 22 after that, has functioned perfectly.. No cracks whatsoever.
I've had my G-44 only 2 weeks and put a pounding on it using CCI Mini, now here are my finding (1) the gun is very light in weight, (2) 80 straight rounds needs cleaning. (3) feels really good and shoot great!
I just purchased a glock 44 today, feels really good! Everything you said is spot on
I’ve already put over 1000 rounds through mine and I’ve only had 6 problems. 5 of them were light loads (Remington Thunderbolt ammo) and one failure to feed. I’m more then satisfied with mine. I’ll do a review on mine this week.
😅
I bought mine in 2024 and 200 rounds into it and the firing pin sleeve and buffer broke, now after replacing with NO help from glock the slide is CRACKED!! The gun was so fun for the first 200 rds.
I’m a competition shooter and use mine mostly from 25meters (around 25yards) with a Timmy, competition magwell, and a thiner front sight and only with CCI standard 40grain. I manage very very tight groups with it. It’s just astonishing good and precise for a 4 inch 22. 0 malfunctions yet! Cheers from Germany
This COVID year of Dec 2020 you can hardly find a .22 semi auto at the stores. Finally a week before Christmas I had the opportunity at 2 different stores to score a Glock 44 or a Beretta M9 .22 I chose the Beretta for several reasons, the 15+1 capacity with a steel mag, s/d action and the 5” barrel. The only reason I have this and my Ruger Mark lll is to shoot affordably. But I also wanted something like my Ruger that would eat any ammo from bulk on up with accuracy and dependability. Very happy with my purchase, glad I chose Beretta.
Clean it thoroughly before use. Only use clean ammo. Most importantly don't let videos like this deter you from purchasing guns based on pure lack of testing for more than one day.
If you're going to shit on Sig for the P365 launch issues, you can't turn a blind eye to the G44's issues, even if the use case isn't as a defensive carry pistol. Issues are issues.
I just bought one and shot 200 rds and no issues love it super fun plinkster!!!
I was eager to see what the Glock had to offer over my M&P 22 compact. The Smith and Wesson holds 10rds, has a threaded barrel, fires everything I put in it, and is pretty accurate. I was hoping the Glock would at least hold more rounds like the taurus or keltec.
Shot my new Glock 44 (22lr) today.150 rounds shot flawlessly!!
CCI COPPER ROUNDNOSE 40 grain (1235 FPS).
Comes with adjustable sights.
I purchased 2 G44's, took them to the range Saturday, I also purchased a box of Winchester 333 HP at the same time. I spent more time clearing jams, miss fires, stovepipes than I did shooting the pistols. One for my wife and one for my daughter. Needless to say I was VERY upset. After we ran out of the 333's I tried some CCI mini mags that were in my safe for at least 25 years. out of 115 of those I only had 1 misfire. Goes to show, these can be a good pistol with the right ammo. Can't wait to try them again....
Buddy of mine who is pretty knowledgeable had a hiccup or two when he first got it. Said the Aguila super extra 40 grain billets run perfectly most of the time. He liked it enough to buy another one for his son. I’ve never seen him have an issue either. He says they happen like with anything, but it must be a pretty good one. Gonna need some tweaks
That fireball! That hot little wildcat might be interesting out of a carbine length barrel...probably be a rocket. Not for SD at night, that's for sure...looks fun though. Maybe a night or dusk video just for kix.
I have a g44 with 300 rounds with 2 rounds that didn’t go off when hit. Put the 2 rounds back in the mag and fired them no problem. No explosion or cracked slide. I generally run cci. I have bad luck with cheap bulk 22lr so I run the good stuff
USA 1ST that I understand unfortunately all of my 22lr guns are picky eaters. I’d rather be safe than sorry. I have 0 luck with the cheap stuff so while it’s affordable it will just be a paperweight for me. Wish it wasn’t picky tho but hey nobody is perfect
I HAVE glock 44 I had no problem in feeding using CC STINGER HIGHPER VELOSITY OR MINI MAG BUT THE REMINTON YELLOW JACKET WELL NOT FEED WELL
I have one, get 40g(Federal bulk ammunition has been working good for me). I have had 2 malfunctions so far, I’m 500 rounds deep, I know there are reliable 22s but I wanted a Glock trainer and I love it.
I like that conversion barrel. Wondering if they make it for the Glock 19?
The .22 TCM is such a sweet concept. When I was into 1911s, I wanted to get a double stack 9mm conversion from Rock Island. I'd like to see how it stacks up against a 5.7 (Gel test video, anyone? 😊)
Use hot rounds, 40 grains. I like mine! I’ve had a few hang ups with the nose of the top round in the mag slanting downward. It does feel like a toy though
I've heard of the Glock 44, but I have no experience with it. I love the 22LR caliber. It is a fun plinker. I have a 22LR top for my Beretta 92A1. It's made by Umerex for Beretta. It's a fun adaptor. Special 22LR magazines are required for that. The slide is straight up aluminum. It makes my 92A1 a two caliber gun with a very simple slide swap. If 22 TCM catches on, it would be interesting to have a slide and barrel for that as well. The two downsides for the 22LR conversion, IMO, are the cost and the quality of the safety. I have a G type conversion safety on my 92A1 which is decock only and nice steel. The 22LR is a decocker/safety and is stamped. So there is a slight difference in user operation there.
My Glock 23 Gen 4 is a beauty ..... had it about 3 years now 100% functionality .... I like the Gen 4 with finger grooves .. Not that into 22lr ....but it looks like a nice one ..
I personally hate the Gen-4 Glocks. Ever since they screwed with the grip angle I can't shoot the new Glocks worth a crap. I always have to push the muzzle down when I aim with them. I'm all about the Gen-3's I have the 19 23 32 and 20 all Gen-3's and I love them. They eat anything you want to put through them. I just picked up the new Glock G44 and put a Hogue grip on it (which I have on all my Glocks) and I still have to push the muzzle down a little but it's way better than the Gen-4. I've only put 2 mags through it so far and the first worked great with the cheap Remington 36 grain Golden Bullets but the second not so much. I think a lot of it was the fact I loaded them while sitting in my car on a gravel road in the country and the first I was pulling the sides down just enough to put one bullet in at a time. The second mag I was in more of a hurry and I pulled it down further and some bullets got messed up as in not seating correctly. I tried to fix the ones that didn't seat correctly by taking them out and putting them back in right but I don't think I got them all so I'm not going to say it was the guns fault until I put a lot more rounds through it. Oh and I have the 43 with a Hogue grip and Strike Industries +2 mag extensions on both mags and that one I don't have to push the muzzle down. I have had very few issues with any of these besides the G44. I hope after more rounds and making sure to load the mags correctly it will turn out to be a good gun as well.
Seems if you talk about Glock 44 malfunctions, you’re mentioning Tim also
“It doesn’t come with a threaded barrel.”😂
.22 tcm is a necked down 9mm - which is why it works in the 9mm mags. Armscore created it to compete with 5.7x28.
Interestingly I preordered my glock44 and will pick it up and try it today, I will message you on patreon on information of my experience until you get yours
1800 rounds through my G44,., no problem other than the mag will occasionally nose dive a bullet... Same thing with my TX 22 ...
1000+ rounds through my Glock 44, not a single issue. 10 different brands of ammunition. Haven’t cleaned it yet. Still GTG.🇺🇸
If the slide is all Polymer, I would suggest to Glock to make new slides with a wire mesh embedded inside when poring the polymer in the mold.
Much like rebar is used to reinforce concrete.
Thats how it is
We've all had and erratic ejection from time to time
I love mine, absolutely not problems at all as long as I use CCI MINI Mags. Very similar to the 22 M&P. You have got to use good ammo.
I use Remington Thunderbolt they are dirt cheap and the 44 loves it
When the Conversation Kits are better then the Glock 44.
And the Taurus TX22 actually slays the Glock 44 and for $140 less, and $300 less if you buy the threaded barrel from glock.
That's what sold me when I bought my TX22.
There's really nothing the the Glock 44 has that the TX22 doesn't.
i have a beretta M9A1 22LR and a Beretta U22 Neos and a Glock 44. shot all 3 guns Saturday, exact same ammo from same box in all 3 guns. 1,000 rounds fired. the Beretta 22 pistol's never had a single malfunction. the Glock 44 had problems all day. many different problems, like stove piping , not ejecting, not cambering & slide over riding the round in the mag. if my Beretta's can fire 330 rounds every day without a single problem then why can't the Glock 44. i am not impressed with this gun.
You should rename this video "Hearsay for the Glocck 44" because it appears you have No first hand experience. I've put 1200 rounds throught mine, no issues except with sub-sonic ammo which is to be expected in any auto.
What type of ammo do u use?
@@jaypitts3100 CCI MiniMags
M&p 22 compact best 22 pistol out there going on 2000 rounds likes to gobble up cheap 22 ammo and pretty accurat at 30 feet.
I had one stove pipe with Federal Bulk Pack and one Winchester M22 bullet didn’t fire, then loaded same round and it fired. It did perfect with Remington Golden Bullets, lead nosed Federal Champions, Magtech and Centurion...298 out of 300 rounds were perfect. I have a short review on my page.
Check out honest outlaws video on this pistol.
At over 2000 rounds, my G44 will only function reliably with CCI mini mags (but will not slide lock with them). It will not function with Federal 36 gr, 38 gr, 40 gr., Remington 36 gr golden, or Winchester 36 grain. Glock customer service tells me to keep shooting and it will loosen up. Where I am, CCI mini mags cost 7-9 cents each. I am not happy.
Didn’t Glock promise they had tested hundreds of brands and had no problems?
@@danielaramburo7648 they sure did
I’ve got 650 rounds through my G44 with only two failures to fire. Feeds and ejects fine.
It's the ammo bro and not the gun. I only use 22LR ammo rated at 1280fps and I have not had one single issue using CCI stinger, CCI mini mags, and Winchester super x rated above 1340fps.
This is June 2024 and I own the Glock 44 and the Taurus TX22 and I would highly recommend the Taurus TX22 over the Glock. The Taurus comes with 16 round magazines and the Glock has only 10 round magazines. The Glock is ammo sensitive and the Taurus will shoot any 22 lr ammo. Now I have five round extensions on both pistols so I get 16 rounds in the Glock mags and 21 rounds in the Taurus. Cheaper and better, spend your money wisely.
If what I’m repeating on the internet is true.... because that’s all you UA-cam gun guys do. Repeat garbage read on forums written by Armchair experts. The internet is the last source of information you want to use to form your opinion.
A review without having the handgun on hand...🤨
My GLOCK licenced CO2 BB pistol has been 100% reliable, keeps an easy 5" group at 12 yards, same weight and size as my G23, costs .55 per 120 rounds to fire, easy to load the Mag, with no cleaning...
Like the Video, I wish the barrel in the 44 was threaded, Glock told me , I can buy a Threaded barrel for my , model 44, for only $ 198.00, ad that to the price of the Glock, sold it already.
John Allan wish mine had a 4 speed pistol grip shifter!! And Dana 60 rear!!
I've had several issues with Ruger quality control in the past couple of years.
Their revolvers and 22s are good but their newer semi auto pistols sucks
anything with SR on it from ruger sucks, I had a SR45 that went back for repair 3 times and still would not run...
@@lrlapua8035 buy surplus pistols they always run
About 80% of magazine fed hand guns are polymer now. That doesn't affect anything except weight.
I may not be a glock fan, but the wife bought one, yes the G44. She liked how it feels in her hand.
And we will be going out soon to target practice with it.
I just purchased Glock 44 and my first gun. I am a woman and didn't want anything too much caliber at first. We did shooting in woods this past weekend and I loved it! We did however have a whole round have 4 shells that jammed in the slide. Is this normal?
I'd like to know where people get bulk 22 ammo that has zero issues in 500 rounds. I've been shooting a 22 revolver for a couple years. I get sub par rounds all the time.
Just proves failure can happen to any brand ,at all levels in firearms.
When you get a chance please review the SCCY dvg
The new Glock pistol likes hot ammo only, it does not like 36 grain Federal bulk ammo at all but it loves 40 grain Winchester and will reliably shoot the 40 grain Winchester all the time or any CCI 40 grain ammo and any other 40 grain ammo. It loves the M22 1000 round Winchester bulk ammo from Walmart but then again it’s 40 grain!
I like to Rock Island 22 TCM 1911 at 22 TCM runs about 20 to $25 a box for a 50
I put over 200 through mine last Friday, not a single malfunction other than one cartridge required a second strike (which is on-par with any of my other 22 experiences). I fed it 40gr LRN Federal automatch from the 325 box, which my Ruger MK3 also enjoys eating. The G44 is a hoot, it is so light it actually has a bit of snap, which is hillariously fun.
i had mad fun shooting this at the range
Just sent in for the 2nd time. Bullets keep jamming in slide. They did not fix the first time it was sent back. Let's see what happens when I get it back.
This is May, 2024 and I just shot mine today and it had light strikes with quality rimfire rounds, at least 1 per magazine, sometimes two. I am shooting it tomorrow with high velocity 22s so hopefully it will work tomorrow. I don’t recommend it even though I love Glocks. Still don’t have the Glock 44 working 100%.
A lot of the problems is AMMO
Ammo causing the goin to blow up??? What like the ammo is loaded too hot? How could you know that?
@@SourPatchPuss It just a typical guess, when the slider of gun blows up, typically it would be the pressure of the round.
@@victorraye57 I think he said the gun was able to fire out of battery, which caused the explosion. Gun's fault if it is firing out of battery.
Gotcha... That would do it, out side of the barrel.
My Salvation. 100% the problem is 22 ammo!
Got early model not glock fan. I like it a lot. Forest gump style lol. I’m a firearms fan. Anyway think it’s loading ammo problem. When loaded with bullet pointing up in mag works great put ammo in fast pointing straight or down not good. Problems. My thoughts.
WHAT A FLAMETHROWER !
My G44 runs great! Some of the .22 ammo was crap.
Having a “ton-of-problems,” from a guy that’s getting a TON-OF-IT!!!
Is this ammo still better then the g44 right now?
Holy fireballs Batman!😎
my first question would be, the hell kind of ammo was he using, the way that bun blew up, I'd blame the ammo first because that slide was ripped apart and that looks like a bad round, NOT a bad slide --- just eyeballing it
I'll keep my TX22, thank you...
Bottom line. Glock said it would eat any ammo you put it in. That includes bulk ammo.
I've had my glock 44 since 1893, and I've fired 600,000 rounds of .22 through it, from every manufacturer on earth, including many that have since gone out of business, and a healthy amount of .22 short, and I've had only 1 failure to fire, which was the fault of me limp wristing it due to my extreme iron deficiency and actual scurvy, so it actually kind of counts as only .5 of a failure to fire.
I got my first ever glock for ¢42 in 1902
My glock 44 failed to eject every third round and If it wasn't that it was stove pipes or light primer strikes. My slide won't break because I'm not wasting any more money running ammo thru the damn thing.
just wanna say this I bought a Glock 44 and put 800 rounds thru it no issues the only real issue don't use 36 grain rounds it jams up use the 40 grains and another thing clean your Glock before firing it and use the right lube I use frog wipes with clp also don't glob the Glock up with lube it will crack and malfunction and never clean the trigger components or the firing pin imo that's where certain issues come from mine is k for now lol
I hav 25 round mag no jams shoots great
PRE-LOCK SMITH AND WESSON REVOLVERS IN 22 LONG RIFLE CAN STILL BE HAD IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A BIT OF LOOKING AROUND , AND THEY ARE FRIGGIN TACK DRIVERS THAT LAST FOREVER ALTHOUGH USUALLY WITH A INFLATED PRICE TAG
The glock 44 is made by Umarex. It’s not made at the glock factory. Contracted out to them to build it since glock doesn’t make anything else in 22. Umarex is the company that makes all the super realistic licensed airsoft guns. So that may be the issue.
Beretta and CZ are doing pretty well. Not to mention Taurus. Just saying.
I had the same issue with my Glock 44 it exploded in my hand and Glock tried to blame the bullets.. long story short I sold mine
tbh the bullets do play a part if u used 36 grains mine jammed up on 36 grain I switched to 40 grain federal auto match put 800 thru it no more jam ups
The Joker's Nightmare I wish I would of spoke with you before I sold it lol . But it’s cool I ended up just getting the 48 to replace the purchase
@@DutchieKillaV good buy there the 48 is nice
I haven’t had issues with mine so far. Although , I don’t use you slide release to load the gun, I slingshot the slide. No failures to feed, no failures to fire. Was using three different types of ammo, all 40 grain. In 3 hundred rounds no issues. In my opinion it’s a mag issue, as with many 22s. Those that had the extractor blowing out the side, I’m not sure but I’d say firing out of battery. Not good. I shall see as I put more rounds through.
so, the gist of this video is you're going to wait to buy a Glock 44? 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Mine runs great! Sad to see all the hate..
Have you ever tested a CZ firearm?
A guy in my hometown bought one and after 50 rounds the G44 blew up on him. He was even shooting CCI bullets.
WOW blew up huh, did he get killed?
1100 rounds through mine ..love it!!
Most companies use the first run of buyers to beta test the product. Cheaper than doing good quality testing. Car companies have been doing it for decades lol.
Don’t listen to the Glock haters ... over 800 rds and not one problem ! That video you were talking about was a squib round and Not the Glocks fault! Shooting fast as he can with buLK DIRTY CHAP AMMO had to be a factor! Clean and lube the pistol (as instructions says) Before going to range AND use Quality ammo = Total reliability! Their is so Many other reviews that show nothing but praise for the G44! Probably the best 22 LR on the market !!!
That can NOT be true. If you watch the video closely of the guy shooting when the gun blows up, you can hear the round that you are calling a "squib round" impact the target when it was fired. Squibs typically do not impact targets lol.
I love glock too man, but dont make sh*t up because you do not like the results. These guns were not ready for release. I challenge you to find a positive review of a Glock 44. Its just not a good gun. And I love guns! I have seen at least 10 different people review it and they all said it was released prematurely.
One more thing. Glock claims to have tested the pistol with "141 different ammos, shooting over 10,000 with not a single failure". Which is obviously a load of crap. But my point is that they claim it will run with ANY AMMO.
6:37 You never heard of the caliber?!?
Who are you sir?!!
.22 TCM has almost as much muzzle flash as a snub nose .375 Magnum.
Slides don't explode, bullets do
The picture at 1:57 is one of two pictures on the internet of a cracked slide. The video at 2:10 has a photo connected to it, not shown in the video (the image shown at the end of said video is a different gun, where the extractor / firing pin safety plunger had been installed backwards by either the owner or factory). The photo relating to this video, that is not shown, shows the rim of the cartridge had split off and blocked the barrel. The remainder of the brass was still in the chamber. Ammo issue. Look at the smoke ffs!
Rimfire is a old and not well designed round. There are many manufacturers who do not have good QC on .22LR. .22TCM is a 9mm (centre fire) case with a .22 bullet. A different kettle of fish entirely. I would like that barrel for a different reason & a totally different cost.
Get a G44. They are reliable 99.9% by sales and they are a hoot to shoot! Just need a higher capacity magazine, which I am sure will follow soon.
Can’t believe you haven’t heard of the TCM round.......
17 or 19 good to go, anything else, glock has not impressed me. I do like that conversion. that slide blowing up could be due to the way the ammo point nose down sometimes in the magazine you gotta pay attention to that when loading the mags
If you like the 19 you should try the 23 and 32 also. They are all great guns!
Is the g44 trash/garbage? should i buy one, or wait a bit?
I’m just going to wait until CZ makes one
CZ had the P07 and P09 Kadet. I have the P07 kadet and i love it, for shooting Standard Velocity.
Sootch00 has a video on 22 tcm if you are interested
Are you gonna do a gel test with that crazy little 22 round? Im SUPER interested to see it
Mine works great.
Dont know the point in 22tcm conversion. ammo costs more than 9mm. for people with wrist problems that might do. I just dont see how 22TCM is going to be food for. if you are going to do drills, just use 9mm.
Good ammo no problems simple
Love mine zero probs..
For the sake of crazy arguments, can someone who has had good to great luck with theirs, best ammo? I understand what Glock recommends, that’s not what I’m asking. Thanks in advance- I have about every cci- and currently- Aguila super extra 40 grain and American Eagle 36 grain hp’s - shooting a buddies new one this Friday.
the glock 44 is 50/50 metal/polymer
No problem with my G44 super gun
