I bought a Glock 44...no problems. You can go crazy with watching some of these reviews. Good review.
preach
I just brought one no problem either
Are you shooting the factory 10 rd mag? And what grain? Mine keeps lockin up on me
I just got one one yesterday.. an impulsive buy just because In The back of my mind I’ve been wanting to get 22 handgun, but I haven’t done no research lol My local stores been empty every time I go in, people just buy everything out.z.. after buying it I come home and watch the military arms channel And 22 plinkster and a few others say negative things about this pistol now I think bought something bad.. i’m dying to go shoot it but where I’m at I’m snowed in😂
I scrapped my POS Advantage Arms conversion and bought a Glock 44 also
I trust this video more than any of the others. Well done, Buffalo.
Thanks Pat. I'm not done yet. I just wanted to get the initial 200 on video without any interruptions. Whether it went good or bad I knew I'd be called it on if there was no video proof! Thanks buddy
Been looking forward to this one 👍👍. Someone we can trust doing a video on it
I'm with you Adam!
@timmybmn 👍👍 absolutely
Me too because so many people were having problems with it
Hey WhoTeeWho thanks for that man. I have nothing to gain or lose with this video. This is just the first part there is more to come.
I agree Adam 👍
4.10, "people with problems make a lot more noise than people don't have problems"
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease"
Impossible. People with malfunctioning firearms couldn't possibly make more noise. Their guns don't work 😉
l love your unbiased investigative approach.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear it.
i noticed you are not using the slide release! is there a reason for that?
I am writing this 8000+ miles away from Malaysia. I returned back from the range yesterday shooting the G44. It was a pleasure shooting this .22 as a plinking sidearm. The lesser recoil vs the G19 allowed me to enjoy accurate placement. Compared this to the .22 Beretta we train here, hands down I enjoyed the Glock so much better.
Buffalo, thanks for a great honest review. I've own two G44s that I've been using for a little over a year. I love their low weight, simplicity, durability and accuracy. They've been used hard by me and my family since purchased for plinking, small game hunting, camping, hiking, fishing and carried while deer/hog hunting for final dispatch as needed. We run whatever ammo is handy in them and they just seem to work with no issue. Both shoot a little high like you as you noticed, but no big deal and easy to learn to compensate. It's a great handgun and would replace in a heartbeat if either were lost. I watched a few other videos today that seemed to focus on negatives that I've not seen with either of my guns. They are daily hard working guns and they deliver bullet on target every time when needed. I live in the country and have two teenage boys that I'm sure use and abuse these guns hard, much more that some of these so called youtube experts. I have to agree with your assessment on this gun 100%
10 different loads tested, that's called a "What's For Dinner?" test!
👍👍
Someone is spying on you Mr. Buffalo!
@@jamesallen253 Haha, no I'm a fan, have been for a couple years now I think.
Man if I could do this over I'd have made a joke and mentioned that! I love the "What's for dinner" series!
I’m just messing with you. I watch both of you and appreciate what you bring to the gun community!
First non failure video. Good job. Im still TX 22 bias. Threaded barrel, 16+1 no failures. I agree on the Aguila ammo . 3.7 cents a round. Excellent performance. I Order 5000 at a time.
I love my TX 22 and as of right now I still think it's the better gun. I am going to put this Glock to work for the next few weeks, you'll see updates along the way, and then I'll do a head to head with the TX 22. As of today if I could just have one it would be the Taurus. But maybe this Glock will win me over.
In Germany we have the problem, that we can't become the TX 22. I have the CZ P07 Kadet, a nice pistol, but the Glock 44 is nicer i think, because i have the Glock 17 Gen5 for sportshooting, and for training the 44 is a Glock as well. 😄.
20 cents a round now....ugh.
I have noticed that everyone bashing the G44 is pushing the TX22, makes me wonder if they are getting some money for the bashing.
From Taurus? Not @250 a unit. I heard the guys at corporate split single ply toilet paper for a month to bring this bad boy to market @ $350(msrp// you find em all day @$250). Thanks Taurus for quality and affordability, and hell, I think it’s pretty BA looking(for a .22)
Glocks paying them to bash 22s so people will stop using 22 for self defense
Watched a video on this from Lenny McGill at the Glock store. He recommends to field strip, clean and well lube this pistol before first trip to range. That might be the answer to some of the issues a lot of reviewers have with the 44 by taking it directly from the box to the range without a good first initial cleaning and lube. Just my 2 cents.
Well thats just horrible if so. It should not be needed with an beand new gun in my opinion. It should work as supposed to and been quality tested as well.
Thats just proves the Glock co is being cheap.
As with any brand new gun.
@@Magisktification I'll give you one example of why what you're saying is ridiculous.
Taurus use to ship their firearms with a slight bit of cosmoline to keep them from rusting. That practice is followed as much now since a lot of manufacturing takes place in the states. The main point of that is you have no idea what you're getting.
My last rifle purchase was REM 700 SPS 300 RUM. Right out of the box I borescoped it and found shavings in barrel. Very foolish to not inspect a new gun.
Great video! I went out and bought my G44 the 1st day it was released. Thank you for actually listing out the ammo by brand, bullet weight, type, etc.
Excellent straightforward trial - looks like loading the mag properly is the key for success . .
I would love a series of videos in which you show how you shoot a gun in detail. You are a good speaker/teacher and a heck of a shot. Give it a thought
I have been asked to do that and debated on it in my own head. Honestly I have some bad habits that I would hate to pass on to someone.
@@buffalosoutdoors who dont? do you what makes you happy man but your obviously not ignnorant.
@@buffalosoutdoorslol!!!
Yeah keep the finger off the rail lock! lol 😆
First video I ever seen with you & I came on to comment similar to this fella. You are a good shooter! Steady predictable firing. I’m sure you are utilizing the reset and not going in for a full trigger every time. I can’t see that in the video.
Thank you for all your consideration for the audience members!! I see I’m not the only one who appreciates you. Going to watch the TX22 video now.
Great video! As a NRA Certified Pistol instructor, I bought a G44 to use in starting off my students but was concerned about all the bad press. I shot over 1,000 rounds and had one hangup and 3 loads that wouldn't fire. I love the gun and would recommend it to anyone! Keep up the great videos!
Thank you for this video. I bought this pistol a few days ago. Your video is excellent. Yes, it is long but your manner of speaking, clarity and explanation is like hanging out with a good friend for an afternoon . I have just subscribed. I look forward to more. Best wishes from South Texas.
Recently purchased a new 44. Before taking it to the range the next day I did a field strip, cleaned and lubed per the manual, nothing more. I ran 50 rounds of CCI Mini Mag 40gr, 100 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity 40gr, 50 rounds of Winchester White Box 36gr, and 50 rounds of Remington Golden Value Box 36gr. I shot slow fire and rapid fire in random style. I did not take any special precautions in how I loaded up the magazines either (no thumping on the palm or bench). Experienced zero issues. The pistol operated exactly as it should to the point the barrel got so hot I couldn't even touch it. Very happy here! Lastly, I just wanted to say that I made my purchase based on your experience in this video. So appreciative you took the time to create it.
Great video, just showing it as it is. I got my 44 about a week after the press release & have not had a single malfunction in over 500 rounds. Not sure how their numbering goes, but mine starts with ADEZ. Can't be far off your number.
I am very happy with it, same handling as my G19 without the recoil & when my extended families kids want to have a go, they are not using up 500 rounds of my 9mm's in a couple of hours the next time I share my guns! It'll pay for itself within six months.
Buffalo been watching you a day or 12 and you have never let me down...I come to you with expectations and time after time you are spot on! and the shooting skills you display, I was watching yours right arm, right shoulder and right side as you acquired target and fired...amazing how still you can hold while on target through firing!!
Just got one this week. Just starting to get into shooting and between you and hickok45 have given me a wealth of information and I have a lot fun along the way! Thank you sir and keep up the fantastic work! Also ended up with my mossberg 88 and it’s mini shell adapter based on your videos! Again can’t thank you enough!
Buffalo's Outdoors, great and thorough job on this gun as always with a great camera man. That's the fastest mag loading I've ever seen. Not likely to pick one up personally, but was very interested having a growing love for 22lr around home for plinking and varmint control. Huge problem up in MN with opossums in the shed and barn during winters. That said, it's great seeing you in a T shirt with no white on the landscape the 1st week in March. All my 22lr firearms shoot mega Federal Auto-Match lead RN with a mag or two of CCI Mini Mag copper jacket to clean up the rifling at the end of plinking. This winter my Beretta 21a has been my companion most days riding in my front pocket. Love that little rascal. Be well and safe.
I recently fired 200 rounds through the 44 at the shooting range, the gun belongs to the range ....it does shoot a little high...2 failure to load and 1 failure to lock back but I’m sure that was my fault, probably my left thumb....all in all definitely a lot of fun...💪🏻👍🏻
THANKS for making this video about the Glock 44. I have been on the fence about this weapon because of the conflicting reviews-some from highly viewed UA-camrs being negative about ammo. After watching yours I don’t see the problem. As you correctly mentioned finicky pistols usually show rather quickly. The range of ammo you used gave me pretty good assurance (as much as you can with a .22) that this pistol will run well.
Caught some of your videos in the past but now that I'm subscribed and realized I've been missing out on some good stuff. Thank you
I love this man, such a wholesome guy
Thanks for doing this test! I was waiting for someone to run different ammo brands through the Glock 44.
You should get a commission check from Glock,because you have sold me on the G44!
Would make a great addition to my Glock collection.
Excellent video! Well done. It's encouraging to see it run so well. I'm not a Glock fan boy, but I have always been impressed with their reliability and it is good to see that things may not be as bad as others have experienced with it. Thanks for the video.
The next Hickok 45, great video! Thank you for the fast tracks so we could have a better time watching.
Weve had this for a month and zero problems,knock on wood. Your comment about people with issues make more noise is why I subscribed. Thats the truth brother. Thanks for a good,honest video
It sure is good to see another positive video after all of the people having problems with them. I have had over 1800 rounds through mine and finally cleaned it!! I ran multiple brands and grains of bullets through it and had no issues that were not ammo related. Thanks for the video.
Always looking forward to your new videos, Your fluent presentations and well trained marksmanship are therapeutic to watch
Great video! Just purchased my first Glock and this was very helpful and informative!
hi buffalo man the video is excellent i needed to see you load the magazine and the types of shells you use and every thing else.good job.willie
Glad to see a positive review on this. I've got one as well and I've put 1200 rounds of Aguila Super Extra through it with zero problems. I love mine.
Great video Buffalo... we could always count on you for your honesty and also very enjoyable content. Thanks . Keep up the great work .
Thank you!
Great video, this is the same experience I’ve had with my G44. It’s been a great gun, I’ve run 2500 rounds of CCI mini mag 40 grain and Blazer 40 grain. I’ve had a total of 2 light strikes, otherwise flawless! My sons and I have had so much fun with it I might buy a second!
Great video. Thanks for going through the different ammo.
Really glad you did this video Buffalo, now I have one to recommend to people....... that I feel comfortable with !
I've not been much of a Glock fan through the years but I do try to keep an open mind, so looking forward to follow up on this piece !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
Awesome video. I just got the 44 as well and I noticed the 36 grain Federal hollow point had a tendency to no run correctly. Once I put 40 grain in there it ran a lot better.
Your reviews are the best, straight up and honest, thank you.
This is a good assessment, good video, objective and impartial. Thank you for your time Sir. 👍🏻 from me. I'll now definitely consider adding the G44 to my inventory.
Hi Buffalo, i sure like your videos, you seem to describe everything in a way that is so interesting. It's very refreshing to watch a down to earth review that few others can match. In my opinion you're at the top of the tree along with Hickok 45, .22 Plinkster and the like.
Keep 'em rolling mate.
Regards from the UK.
Good review, glad you shared multiple types of ammo. Thanks,
We the Buffalo viewers are so fortunate to have a totally unbiased reviewer. Thanks!
You have an excellent shooting stance and grip which makes any semi auto perform best. I think some of the issues I've seen are related to proper grip.
Excellent video. I just bought a Glock 44 and w anted to watch videos on others using it. Your wide selection of ammo was really helpful - and encouraging that the pistol is good.
Just saw this video. I have one of the early guns and as long as I shake the magazines a tad before loading it into the pistol it works like clock work. I have not tried the Remington golden bullets or the stingers , but mine works with all the other ammos you’ve tried today. Great job, thank you for sharing. I too am really satisfied with mine as well.
This what I like about Buffalo... he gives honest and humble reviews.
My friend just bought a brand new Walther P22 and it constantly jams.... so annoying. Glad to hear the Glock runs pretty clean,
I'm glad you shot with my exact gun and my exact aguila bullets. 🙏 Great review. Best I've seen so far for this gun.
I appreciate you making this video with no motivation and shooting the Glock44 right out of the box. I wanted the Glock19 or Glock45 but all suppliers were out today. This was the only Glock in the store and I really had my heart set on at 9MM but I really wanted a Glock too although I wasn't familiar with this one. I watched about 5 youtube reviews and they all gave horrible reviews on the Glock44. I was starting to feel really bad about my purchase. Your video clearly has no ulterior motive and was not edited like the others. I'm keeping my Glock44. Thank you!!!!!!!
Hey Never boring. Sometimes because of the weather I can’t shoot it nice to watch you shooting!😁 I’m ashamed to say I was going to stay away from the Glock 44 because of the negative reviews, but now I think I will get one.
This gun is garbage buy an m9 22lr
Great video! You have the only G44 I have ever seen not fail in an ammo test. That little bump on the mag might be the difference. I'll try that with on myself and see if I get the same results fingers crossed!
great video buddy. you addressed all the issues the others were having. you ruled out loading the mags a special way which was classic. the a mixture of 36 grain to 40 grain with hollow points and round lead heads. your right some will throw crap out there to get the hits on thier videos. but I know and all the guys that comment here your a straight shooter and not gonna twist nothing it is what it is. Like I always say you do Kentucky proud great job again.
Thank you for a sincere and no BS perspective
Buffalo, I love your channel. Thanks for all your honest reviews. I think this video puts the "reliability" concerns of the G44 to rest!
Nice shooting! Thanks for the review - given the price it's great to have someone willing to give the gun an honest run for the money.
Very good video Mr Buffalo! Good shooting! I have a S&W Mod 41 for plinking but its old and a bit worn out so I might be getting something newer. Thanks for the review of this Glock. Will be looking for videos on the S&W M&P 22 too... =)
Just found your channel and you make some very valid points. Thank you for sharing. Subbed.
Glad to see someone give the G44 an unbiased test. Totally enjoyed your review, no excited hype, nor any disdain. Just honest review from a person who enjoys firearms 👍🇺🇸.
Great job as usual Buffalo, straight, honest content....You instilled some hope back for me on the G44.....
Thank you! I have more to come. I have shot it a lot more since I recorded this video Saturday and I have some updates on the point of impact problem (shooting high). Hopefully I can record another video this weekend...BUT NOT AS LONG! LOL
Buffalo's Outdoors Lookin forward to that Sir...Now if Glock would release a higher capacity mag that works...
I bought one a couple months ago. Mine has worked flawlessly. It's a really nice shooting pistol.
Thank you, I just bought one today for a great price of 329.00. The store was running Glock specials for two days only. I’m glad to see your review as quite frankly I was a bit concerned after watching some others. I love my G43 and G17 and trust this one will not disappoint. I’ll take your loading tips and hopefully avoid any issues. This coming Monday on the range will tell. Thanks again and great shooting!
Am glad to see I'm not the only one to like the G44. I've had mine for about a month and have about 350 rounds through mine. I'm on my way to the range tomorrow afternoon to do some testing. Your test tells me I can suspend testing with some of the ammo that I was going to test. I have a suggestion and I'm going to try it my self. If you have some subsonic ammo try that. I've got a threaded barrel on mine, (no suppressor yet :-() but I'll test the sub sonic ammo anyway. I really curioius as to what the CCI suppressor and CCI quiet do. I'll also be checking on the Aguilia SSS it's a 60gr lead bullet on a 22 short case.
Thanks for this video buffalo, I bought my g44 based on this video I also own the tx22, never had a problem with either one and love’m
Thank you for another great review video. Always honest and unbiased.
What a wonderful video. Fair and objective. Extremely kind and likable fella...
Thanks for you unbiased review. Good job! FYI, you need to move the rear sight up to lower the impact point!
Wrong.
Hey buddy! Great video, thank you. Glad to see it run the thunderbolt and federal automatch, since after paying for my G44 pre-order up here in Canada, I’m pretty much looking for budget .22. Don’t want to push it with my better half! Anyhow thanks for a great presentation. Greetings from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Tried mine today, 3 misfeed on the first 2 mag, my fault didnt place the round correctly, then 360 rounds without a single issue, eat anything, tried 5 differents amos, cci mini mag, federal auto match, remington golden, thunderbolt and rws, all works perfectly, the thunderbolts amos seams the best, more powerfull. Love this gun!!! Super reliable as my g19!
Great video. This is a hard thing to get right. They listened give them time to work out what problems there might be.
Thanks for making a great unbiased video. Pretty much the same as my G44, runs all kinds of ammo.
Can't you put up a link to where glock shows how to load the magazine? Really enjoyed this video sir. Thanks
I cannot sing enough praises ! Excellent video Sir !!
Great video Buffalo, you will never be boring!
I had herd that a ten round mag makes it available in all states for it's release....😉
The rest comes later!
Nice! My M&P can be hit and miss with the federal....the Remington Golden is it's staple....
Great video...looks like it's a keeper! 🤠
Thanks, great video, I have a couple of conversion kits, and they are good but they can be ammo sensitive, cheer's
Have to admit, when you brought out the Thunderbolts I felt a little involuntary shudder. Really nice work, as usual.
Great honest review thank you. Earned a sub
Great review Thanks Buffalo. To make my 44 shoot similar to my other Glocks I installed a Wheaton Arms trigger assembly and night sights. If the trigger does not break in any more a Ghost connector will be next. I have been using my good 22lr ammo so far with no hiccups.
I wish I could load magazines as fast as you...lol
I swore I'd never own a Glock, for no other reason that I didn't like their looks but my first one was a Model 42 .380 which I love and then I bought my Model 44 and I've had the same luck with mine as you did in the video. Mine is a tin can killer for sure. I've had no problems with either one of mine what so ever.
Great video wanted one but was put off by all the bad reviews. You always give great info.
This is just another fantastic review from Buffalo’s Outdoors! Well done. I have no interest in this pistol but I watched the entire review ‘cause of the unbiased approach. My wife has a Ruger sr22 & I have the MK III. Love them both. Can’t wait to see your next video. God bless.
Recently picked up one of these, it has run everything I put in it so far, good stuff !!
I trust your videos, you’re always giving an honest opinions , thanks for the awesome presentation
Thanks for the video. I am waiting for them to put out a threaded model.
Thanks for the great effort put into your video . I thought it was done very well.
I just came across your video as I am interested in possibly buying the Glock 44 in .22 lr. I don't recall seeing a video like this anywhere. You did a great job in shooting 20 rounds of various .22 lr ammo and the results are impressive. Also now there is a pro mag Glock 44 mag that holds 18 rounds in the same size format as the factory Glock 10 rd mag. Thankyou for this video.
Good video Buffalo. I have been hoping for unbiased on the 44 and leave it you to make it happen. I, like you, enjoy shooting 22. I really enjoy riffles but my wife likes a semi. She about wore out my SR22. Pushing 12,000 rounds and it may need to be sent in for reconditioning. With that I am in the market for another. It’s between a Mark iv and an M&P. I know two different platforms. Just haven’t decided yet. The G44 being a new release isn’t something I am looking at today. I have a G19 so maybe some day.
Wise man taking your time on the decision. I wasn't in a hurry for the Glock 44 but I was seeing so many negative videos and forum posts that my curiosity go the better of me. I just have to see what the fuss is about. Now that I have the first 200 rounds out of the way the follow up videos won't have to be so long.
Outstanding video and an excellent review sir!
Scott
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GREAT VIDEO ON THE G44!!!
Excellent video with different kind of amos testing!
WOW! Just a fantastic video. You do such and AWESOME job. Buffalo never stop.
Excellent video sir! Thank you.
Great video. Thanks for the information. I'm looking at this for my next purchase. I think I made up my mind. I'm buying one. Thanks again.
Can't wait to see a limits video with this! They are always impressive. Thanks for your time and effort. You are awesome.
Thank you! Great informative video on the Glock 44.
I waited a year after they came out for them to get the bugs out, before
I purchased my G44, and so far its been trouble free in my use. But I watched every video that came out
In that year, so I knew about the magazine loading tricks. I recently
Purchased new sights with green light pipes to try… my older eyes don’t really like the white U/ front dot used by Glock as well as they did
30 yrs ago lol
Great to see your channel is steadily gaining subscribers.
As always you delivered an honest and informative video! Great shooting! thanks Buffalo!
Thank you for that comment! I appreciate it.
Well compared to the other failure videos I have seen. Yours ran very good! I like that you used the everyday run of the mill plinking ammo. Good choice! Keep em coming brother! 💪🇺🇸
