Glock’s New 44 Pistol: a .22 So Nice You Say it Twice

Lets rock out with our Glocks out
Any time GLOCK releases a new pistol, it’s big news–even when it shoots a little bitty bullet. The rumors are true; the law enforcement, military, and self-defense juggernaut has just introduced a GLOCK that’s just for fun: the .22 LR GLOCK 44. Although very few people would ever call a .22-caliber a “tactical” firearm, there is a tactical reason why you might want to own one (beyond your tactical desire to tactically punch holes in paper at tactical distances, of course). Essentially, the GLOCK 44 allows you to practice with a gun that mirrors the look, feel, and operation of the iconic (and very tactical) Glock 19.
“The way the G44 mirrors the iconic G19 is great and all levels of shooters will benefit from owning and practicing with the G44,” said Retired Marine Gunner Christian Wade.  “I subjected the G44 to a variety of adverse conditions and it holds its own with every other GLOCK ever produced.”
Wade, one of two partners selected by GLOCK to rigorously test the GLOCK 44 in a variety of climates and adverse conditions, fields over 30 years’ experience in the Marine Corps and as a firearms expert. Wade understands the importance of functionality and ease of use is realized in the GLOCK platform and carried on to the GLOCK 44. But does it run like a GLOCK should?
“While many .22 LR firearms exhibit tendencies to function differently with particular ammunition types, the G44 pistol functioned to near perfection,” said Bryan Peterson, Manager of Product Concept Development at Federal Ammunition–who was also a vital partner in early testing.
The G44 features many of the latest enhancements seen in the 5th Generation of GLOCK pistols such as the ambidextrous slide stop lever and reversible magazine catch, the GLOCK Marksman barrel (GMB) for increased accuracy and performance, adjustable back straps, and adjustable rear sights.  The G44 also features a ghost hole loaded chamber indicator and comes standard with two 10-round load assist magazines.

  1. Nah, Pass on this one, I already have the .22 conversion and it works fine in this capacity, cheaper, and no FFl bs… I’ll wait for Kel-Tec’s CP33 to become more readily available.

  2. Most student type competitions only allow 10 rounds max.

    Also, most other well known brands have terrible Failure to feed, Failure to fire and failure to eject problems.

    If this gun works with all the available ammo out there, it will sell like crazy.

    Good for them, I think they have a winner.

  3. Why all the whiny comments about only ten rounds! Don’t know any .22 pistol that allows for more than 10 rds. Quit your whining and be glad that Glock is finally coming out with a dedicated 22 and not having to deal with a conversion kit, that costs almost as much as the G44! Oh, Kaliphornia has nothing to do with the 10 rds! Go out and shoot and quit bitching!

  4. I won’t be purchasing one. I have been a huge fan of Glock since 1991. However, I still live in free America and I refuse to buy a firearm that is California compliant. I also don’t own a Ruger SR22 for the same reason. I find it funny that gun companies are making their firearms with limited capacity on purpose, so they can lower their inventory. If they help make 10 round magazines the norm, it won’t save them when the Anti-Constitutionalists come calling. If Glock and other gun companies ship reasonable capacity magazines with the firearm, I will try to be the first in line to get one. By the way, 17 round magazines in a G17 isn’t a high capacity magazine…it is the standard capacity magazine. Anything less is a restricted capacity. And remember the 2nd Ammendment of the Constitution “wasn’t a suggestion, it was a directive”. An inalienable human right bestowed upon us by the Creator. I wonder what George Washington would have said if the musket manufacturers of his time had offered a less lethal version…or if any Congressman had suggested making a law to only allow the people to posses less lethal weapons. God bless America, and the men and women who are still willing to fight to keep it free. “Of the people, by the people and for the people”.

  5. Wait, 10 round mags? WHY so few? Really like the idea behind this pistol as a ‘trainer’…makes total sense; virtually the same G19 “we” carry every day ergonomics-wise, same controls & balance, etc. The 10-rd capacity mags just seem like REALLY missing the point in an offering like this…

  7. Why on earth would glock especially, make a 22lr with a magizine that only holds 10 rounds! That’s ridiculous! Should hold at least 20 rounds or more!
