- Going over my experiences/Impressions of the Glock 44. As of this video I have 7,500 rounds through the Glock 44 and have been very pleased with its performance. There are a lot of excellent .22 trainers on the market (tx22, m&p 22 compact, sr22, etc) but if you are a fan of Glock pistols, or just striker fired guns in general, the G44 is hard to beat. While I don't believe it to be the best "plinker" for me personally, it's one the best, if not the best .22 trainer out there.
It doesn't seem to be ammo picky and is reliable as any .22 can be.

3625rds through mine, three ammo malfunctions, zero gun malfunctions, runs great. I think the biggest problem for this gun is "negative reviews get views"... I bought mine end of January, didn't watch any reviews before I bought it. Ran 1250rds thru it first range outing. Had to stop shooting that day, because I had nothing to clean it with... It was key holing rounds in the target. It's been a good gun for me... It runs everything the big TH-cam Channels have said it doesn't. So far, so good, I'm happy with mine, it's fun to shoot. Happy shooting!
Nice bro, thanks. Literally just got a 44 yesterday for a trainer and all these negative reviews online are giving me buyers remorse so thanks for a review that shows long term use
Hope yours performs as good as mine. Thanks for watching.
Telling you bro.. it’s like nobody has something good to say about it I love mine
This gun can be your every day carry also
Mine so smooth! Zero problems, shoots everything if you load mag properly. Love it!
I have the TX22 and the CP33 they have both been fantastic. Me being a Glock guy I was planning to get the G44 but, kinda got cold feet. You and Buffalo Outdoors both give good reviews on the G44 and in my book ya'll are both honest as the day is long. Maybe I will go on and get the G44. Thanks for a good no BS review👍🇺🇸
Dan, mine runs like a champ, get one
You convinced me to go ahead and purchase one. I took it to the range and it malfunctioned every round with CCI Mini Mag 40gr RN. I was very worried that I had gotten one of the “lemons” that I saw on TH-cam. I loaded the magazine carefully and tapped the back of it to seat the rounds properly but it still malfunctioned.
HOWEVER, I decided to try a “trick” I heard about where you turn the magazine upside down, pull the assist tabs, and let the rounds fall. This worked perfectly and never had a malfunction again in 500 + rounds. I know you shouldn’t have to do this but it takes a second and it works. My brother-in-law has one and he has had 0 malfunctions, but he didn’t have to do the “trick.” So, not sure why some require the “trick” and others don’t, but it’s a small thing for 100% reliability.
That's a good tip. I'll have to try that.
I would be interested to know if it works for you. I don’t know what malfunctions you are experiencing but let me know after you get a chance to try it.
How's it going a year later? I am on the fence for one....
Paul, I traded mine for a S&W M&P Compact but it was still ultra reliable when I traded it and just a few months ago, I used my brother in law’s again and it was 100% reliable. I would recommend it, but be prepared to perhaps tinker with it. You may not have to because as I stated in my original post, my brother-in-law’s functioned fine without any special attention.
I own a g44 been through thousands of rounds no issue yet it's been a good pistol been keeping it cleaned and oiled👍
Over 5k through mine. Got it early on during the release and had to figure out my own loading techniques to make sure the nose of the 1st bullet was pointing above the feed ramp on the mag so the 1st box of 100 was terrible for stove pipes during loading. After I figured out the technique and cleaned out the glock copper lube and put geissele 0000 in it its been running great. Its became my favorite pistol to play with. I typically stick with 40gr and higher velocity stuff. before quarentine I was able to get remington thunderbolt really easily and that ran great and thats my favorite round on it.
I picked up mine a couple weeks ago. I immediately ran 4 mags each of Win Super X, Win M22 45 grain subsonic. Aguila 38 gran hp and Blazer 40 grain with zero malfunctions. 160 rounds. I picked up 4 Promag 18 round mags and loaded them with 15 rounds. I ran 4 mags each of the same ammo in the ProMags with zero malfunctions. 240 rounds. My wife was shooting the G44 with a ProMag when she had a malfunction with a Win Super X. Failure to eject and I believe it was a weak round as the slide did not come all the way back. Mag functioned OK after reloading with Blazer. Shooting a different pistol I had 3 fail to fire with the Super X. 2 fired in a rifle and 1 was a dud. I was worried about the ProMags but only loading 15 might be the answer. I had not planned on loading 18 when I bought them. She fired 160 rounds with 1 malfunction. I have heard of them malfunctioning with 36 grain ammo. Probably bulk pack but they malfunction in any semi auto. I had some bulk I had to shoot in a single shot or revolver as it would not even feed in a bolt action.
I've had good luck with all kinds of ammo as I mostly shoot bulk pack. My pro mag continues to run great. I also normally only load 15 but some times I do load 18+1 and it hasn't given me a problem. I'll link below my update video on this G44 after 20k rounds. Thanks for watching.

Glocks with serial numbers AEHG000 and up have an updated extractor. It will shoot anything. If yours is earlier, you can send it to Glock and they will fix it
Mine is a very early model way before the upgraded extractor. But at this point I have over 12k down range with great reliability so I don't think I'll be sending mine in lol. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanks for watching
@@n8sguntalk has anything changed since the first 1,000 or so? Mine has only gotten better.last 500 of thunderbolt's not one problem with ammo or pistol...shot everything.more of a testament to bulk ammo actually.. believe mine is an early model too...adpe
@@benlaubacher7462 no, still very reliable, shot 150 rounds this evening. I'll be doing a update video soon. My round count at this point is pretty ridiculous. Thanks for watching.
@@n8sguntalk that's awesome..I've got 6,000 down mine so far....love your stuff..keep them coming...shot 60 myself tnite..👍
Put 800 rounds of CCI Mini-Mags both 36 and 40 grain through my G44 right out of the box. Zero failures. 200 rounds suppressed, zero failures. I upgraded the trigger to an Overwatch, added Ghost Edge connector, Vickers extended mag and slide release to better match my G19 setup. 200 more rounds, zero failures. My G44 has been flawless for me. I avoided buying one for months because of all the horrible reviews. Glad I finally had the fortitude to move on and get one. Just bought a second one.
That's good to hear. I have 8,500 through mine still going stong. My wife wants me to buy one just for her haha. I also Have a video on the way of the g44 vs the g19 comparing the two for tranning purposes. Thanks for watching.
I used all types of .22 ammo, I like when it miss fires or the brass gets stuck because it gives my kids practice in clearing the gun. That said I simply don’t get that many opportunities like that. The Taurus TX22 is better and cheaper and most of that guns problems can be blamed on the ammo but we shoot the heck outta our G44👍👍👍
Good to hear and I agree, learning how to quickly and efficiently clear malfunctions is a good skill for anyone to have. My tx22 striker broke at 13,850 rounds so its currently at Taurus getting repaired. I'll do a update as soon as I get it back. My g44 is still going strong! I'll be doing a update on it soon as well. Has a pretty ridiculous round count at this point. Thanks for watching
I've had a G44 since Jan 2020... I have gad STOVEPIPES , FTE and FTF however I believe all were do to ammo issues or simply the firearm was brand new and was still breaking in .... currently too many rounds to worry about ,but no recent fte or STOVEPIPES malfunctions of any kind......great review..young lady please wear eye protection
Thanks for the video it made up my mind on the purchase. I’m glad you were able to put that many rounds through it for a thorough review.
I also have a update video on the G44 now that I have over 20k through it.

Cool ending and song.
TX 22 lover here.
I have s Glock 19 with a CAA micro Roni. It is a blast
All my nines are in hybernation.
9 mm ammo stash is in a glass case. With a sign. Break in case of an emergency.
Been shooting . 22s daily. until they become on the endangered caliber list. Great video and stay up on your ammo.
Nice review, glad to see that you put a lot of rounds through it so you can give an honest opinion!
Thank you and thanks for watching. I'm going to do a update at 15k
bought mine 3 weeks ago, 500rds , first mags few stovepipes, than like a butter
Good deal. I'll be doing a update video on mine soon. My round count is significantly higer now. Thanks for watching.
Our first fitting to a G44 .... great video!
Thank your sir.
My G44 worked great to 5600 rounds... then I broke down with the beer bug.
I'm feeling better but the range is closed.
I have never experienced any non defective ammo failures.
I use the cheapest ammo I can find and it eats it right up. In comparison, my SW 22 compact died at less than 4000 rounds.
The G44 shows no wear and I'm looking forward to shooting it again when the range opens.
I modified mine with a cheap connector to lighten the trigger pull, easy job and it did make the trigger crisper and a little lighter. They are good guns.
That's great to hear (not the beer bug part) my g44 now has over 8k still going strong. My s&w 22 compact has over 25k, had to go back to smith for a new barrel amd hammer spring at 20k. Thanks for watching.
@@n8sguntalk Hi, glad you had good luck with the Smith. Mine started having trouble extracting... I inspected it and saw it was 'peening' around the top of the chamber. I had never dry fired the weapon, possibly twenty failure to feed dry fires in 4k rounds. So I took it completely apart and to my surprise the tiny return/safety spring on the firing pin was broken in two. As was the firing pin. Snapped, to pieces. Oddly it would still fire if you angled it upwards... anyway a month or so of playing with Smith I got the parts fixed it and sold it to someone who doesn't shoot as much. He figured he woudn't shoot more than a box a year, and if it broke he would send it back to Smith.
Smith warned me that 'sometimes the spring just breaks'.
Anyway my wife and I love your videos. Take care.
Le Glock 44 est une très bonne arme je la recommande à tous les passionnés de tir sportif
U speakin minecraft enchantment table??
Pas une mauvaise arme, mais clairement pas au niveau par rapport au Ruger SR22 ;)
My Glock G44 will not work with anything but CCI mini mags. I'm sorry I bought it. Paul Harrel just posted a new review (9/ 17/2020) that found the G44 is NOT reliable. So I don't think the problem is fixed.
Hate to hear you've had bad luck. Mine has been extremely reliable.
I'll be doing a update soon as my round count is pretty ridiculous at this point. Thanks for watching.
7500 rds and your still shooting and reviewing it.... SOLD Thanks
I'll have a update video comeing soon. I have way more than 7,500 down range at this point.
Gave ur channel plenty of love .told 22 plinkster watchers to check you out...love mine..mine runs like a champ on anything
GREAT JOB EVERY ONE, GOD BLESS, GODSPEED...
How have I missed your channel this long? Subbed, please keep us in the know on the G44.
Will do. I'm at 8,500 now still going strong. I may do an update at 12 or 15k
Got 3600 run through mine ..Very reliable..love it....
Glock 44 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...
Mine has been showing signs of this since about 5k. I have a ridiculous round count at this point and it's still going strong 🤷♂️ when it breaks I'll be sure to let everyone know. 🇺🇸
I am getting one, thanks for the review
Nice review, appreciate it!
Thanks for watching.
Great video , respect from Knox TN .
Thank you sir and thanks for watching.
Have you taken the striker out and looked at the plastic striker sleeve??? I’ve seen a lot of those chewed up. Let me know what your finding are. Great video
Yes I have. I have update video comeing soon on this G44. Thanks for watching
What type of bullets you said you can use for the G44
I've used every brand I could find and all seemed to work.
Did you put glock 19g5 sights i cant find any for the 44 exactiyl
Good honest review. Thanks.
Thank you for watching. Stay tuned I have a update video comeing soon on the G44.
Did you notice if the CCI ran 100% and it was other manufacturers that caused the problems? I run CCI exclusively and I really want this pistol but I have seen mixed reviews. Also, has anyone heard if Glock plans on producing a threaded version? I know that they have a barrel you can buy separately but I would prefer it came that way.
Lastly, I am curious as to whether you are using the slide release or an overhand rack when you did your speed reload?
Cci has been 100% for me. I believe they are also now offering a model with threaded barrel from the factory. I always use the slide stop when I do reloads.
Thanks for your response, it was helpful in making my decision to go ahead and get one.
Good stuff, man!
Just got mine
Nice work!
What ammo is best for the g44? I heard federal was terrible and Remington was ok. But which is best?
I've had good luck with every kind of ammo in my G44 but my personal favorite bulk ammo is Aguila high velocity. Thanks for watching.
Been waiting for a failure update . I'm assuming still running?
I posted a update video at 20k. Next update will be at 30k or when it fails. Witch ever comes first.
Thanks for the video
Can I shoot this with any .22lr ammo I heard 40 grain is the best but can I shoot with .22lr 38
Any .22lr ammo should work. Some are better than others but I've had good results with all. Thanks for watching.
Nice channel man. New sub👍
Thank your sir
And a 19g5 grip plug?
May 2022... Has this gun failed yet??
It has not. Just over 28k. I did a update at 20k and I'll do another 30k
@@n8sguntalk damn , Glocks really are the Honda Civic of the firearms world
Good gun
Where can i go to get a laser sight attachment for my glock 44 ?
I'm not a fan of lasers so I wouldn't be able to recommend one. But I would start by looking at Streamlights offerings.
Thanks for watching.
Will any Glock 19 sights fit on there
Yes
What kind of weights did you add? Thanks
I used #8 bird shot.
n8sguntalk Ok thanks, I tried that and it and it sounded like a maraca. Lol. Got my G44 today. Only one stovepipe out of 170 rounds.
BufordT2323 I’m a little late, but maybe shove a tissue up behind the shot before plugging it. Should help :D
@@BufordT-ji6zg I put a small piece of paper towel in first then the shot then another small piece on top that way it doesn't rattle.
@@Samphetamine excatly what I did.

Young lady...please wear eye protection.
Glock 44 in 22 lr is a junk!
Obviously this one isn't.
