I compressed my promag spring 300 to 400 times one night after having a few failures to feed & it really helped loosen the spring up & now it RUNS all 18 without any problems 👌🏻 I love my g44 works great !
Good video bro, thanks for making this 👍 When I was running mine I was using all golden bullets and thunderbolts. I still have them loaded up and haven't been back to the range yet. I'll have to run some different types of ammo through them and see if that makes a difference. I'll probably try loading them down to 15 rounds as well and see if that helps out at all
Thanks! I was running the Winchester white box when I first got my original 4 mags. That might explain why they ran so good. After making this video I learned a lot about this mags. Hopefully over time they will run better with different ammo.
Yeah usually Winchester white box are pretty good amo in general bro… but I’ve also not known Federal to make crappy Amo either🤷🏾♂️ I would probably ONLY use those two to be honest but I think you did great… plus you were shooting cold amo from your truck in cold conditions soooo🤷🏾♂️ but yeah I’d probaby clean it after every 20-30 rounds tho ONLY because it’s a .22
A firm grip (as if it is a 9mm etc) is very necessary with thus gun. People tend to keep a softer frip on this since there is no recoil. The slide still depends on a firm grip. Also 38/40 gr run better
Good video don’t worry about time if it’s good information we’ll watch and I did. Like how you try to fix the problem then say yelp no good or 22lr that’s just way it is. So thanks for braving the cold while I’m warm lol. Love the g44 with promag. But if it doesn’t work 10rds it is. Keep those video’s rolling and stay safe ,ur ole wv hillbilly buddy
When loading there’s a method to hold the follower down with too of the mag pointed slightly down and jiggle them so they don’t nose dive. Takes 2 extra seconds after loading. There’s a dozen YT vids on it.
Hey I’m new to guns and I had a question about shooting with your middle finger is it ok to do or no? I really wanna study up on gun discipline before I purchase my first one it’s definitely going to be the g44 though !
It's ok to do but it going to be harder for you to learn proper trigger pull and sight aliment. Also your recoil is going to be felt more with anything bigger than a 22lr because you'll have less control of the gun with only 2 fingers on the grip.
So I have a 44 and we'll dam. I have tried all kinds of 22 and stingers and federal punch self defense seem to be the only thing mine likes. Suggestions plz
@@Texan1 wow, one thing that I do some times is put oil in my mags after I load them. The forward portion where the bullets heading hit the mag will sometimes cause friction and oiling it seems to help mine with feeding and extracting.
Stingers have a slightly longer case.. that said when loading only takes enough tension off magazine to press the next round in.. try that if still having issues once the magazine is loaded tap it against your other hand with the rear of the bullet side if that makes sense.. finally a firm grip.. no limp wristing that should solve any issues.. make sure your pistol is clean as well.. 👍
Golden Bullets didn't work for s**t unless they were downloaded to 12rounds or less. Winchester hollow point 36gr worked fairly well loaded to 18. Sometimes the 1st couple rounds wouldn't feed, got a few stovepipes. Federal ran great. 1 stovepipe. Aguila ran 100% loaded to 18 in the ProMag mags. Golden Bullets (and any brand I've tried) work 99.9% with Glock factory 10rounders.
Hank you for going to the range and shooing the 44 with the promag do not like reviews from the dinning room table the range is the test bed for all reviews . Thank you again and keep the videos comimg
Have a glock model 44,and the turasa tx-22, , turasa tx 22, eat cheap 22lr ammo, like popcorn, as for the glock, it like to jam up , some time, basically, when I'm shooting the glock, it like, may be it will not jam, when shooting the pistol. Basically the factory glock mag, is made from promag. But down the road, glock designed development engineer, are designing, a new magazine, using a steel feeding lip, like the ruger 10-22 magazine .no more jamming, just shoot the pistol. With any kind of ammo,
That be awesome if they made a new mag. I've been wanting the TX-22 I just don't want to pay the high price for it right now. Hopefully they will come back down some day.
This test seems to have an opinion before you did it. There are load assist for those mags that work fine but it seems like you're trying to set up failure. Mine run fed auto match all the time and you can't get cheaper than any of those
The gun is reliable, but the magazines are too soft. Too much friction. I've seen a vid where a guy shortened the spring and they fed flawlessly. You still shootin' the Glock? Greetings from Austria 🙂
@@puschmannn haha I just found out that they could do that last week after all this time of having them. I should probably start counting as I load so i don't over do it. It might be another reason they where jamming. Good catch.
The pro mags are trash for the G44. Compare it to the G44 10 rounder and you will see that the follower sits way lower in the mag which contributes to failure to feed.
My question is; Why blow your money on Pro Mags when they SUCK? We all know they suck, just don't buy that junk. My G44 eats everything I feed it using the factory mags. It's not a defensive carry gun so I don't care that the mags only hold 10 rounds. Glock designed those to function properly. 22lr does not like to be double stacked.
This maybe weird to say, but I got them for training, and sometimes jams during training helps me to stay ready for if it happen when I'm running my actual guns.
Ive never tried a g44 I have a tx 22 it did great till around 1200-1500 rounds now it is a turd sandwich. Have you ever tried ruger mark pistols ? They only hold 10 rounds but run 100% of ammo in my experience 😀🤘
@@antipeta3 I really want the Taurus tx22 but I refuse to pay over 350 for it so I may not ever get it. I have a Ruger Mark III I don't shoot it much anymore but I still like it. One day I might get the Ruger Mark IV lite.
Mine jams up here and there, now and then,just use 3 factory mags one pro mag. And I love it. Is it mark3,4 no want one them to , but all in all i, me personally never shot , seen any firearm rifle pistol black powder that’s 💯 % so it doesn’t bother me a lot. Now paying arm and leg for ammo or even finding ammo that eats at me. I rather shoot few hundred rounds with a jam here stovepipe there here a misfire there alight strike than not shooting at all. Stay safe keep shooting.

I have mine fully loaded sitting until I take it on this weekend.
I did the same thing after compressing the spring i left it fully loaded for a week & it runs perfect even a bit easier to load. 👍🏻 great video
I’ve had 21 rounds jammed in mine for the last 3 weeks I’m hoping they do better to
I took mine out yesterday, and they were great 0 malfunctions and easier to load too.
I just received my new 18rd and 25rd Pro mags today can wait to see how they run in my Glock 44 with Switchback suppressor... good video thank you.
You saved people a lot of $. If it ain't reliable, it ain't a gun.
great video! my first match more than 20yrs ago i tried promags….junk. used factory mags since

Great video. Thank you.
I run these at 15 rd all day long. I also slide a nail through just below the follower to load with ease.
That's a good idea, I'm going to start that, and it will be the same when training compared to the G19. Thanks!

You needed to try the ammo that didn't work in the pro mags in the factory mags. Then you know if it's a mag problem or a gun problem.
I've tested all the ammo I have with both mags and it was the pmags that where picky.
Awesome video man I'm on the fence on buying this because it would be such a great weapon for training because I have glock 19.
I got the 19 gen 5 because of getting the 44 and liking how it felt in my hands.
@@308c I bought the 44. Already shot over 1000 rounds in my first day.
@@S200. nice, I'm still 100% enjoying mine.
I have 2 - .22LR pistols, why do I want another?
I only use hypervelocity ammunition in mine, so this probably won't be an issue.

Are you trying to be funny or?

@@Akac3sh that’s real weird bro
@@gripz9387 even weirder to care people like you make gun culture mad cringe
Got 4 new? Mags back from Magpro. Springs now so tight they will only hold 12 rounds
Wow. Try the screwdriver method where you put the screwdriver across the follower and work it up and down. Maybe that might help.
Tried that too. Magpro initally claimed these were tested? I call BS
@@jimtonjum7203 I do hope over time they will brake in for you if you choose to use them.
It’s all in the mag loading
I had a horrible experience with the promag 25 for glock 44
I found they are a bit picky with ammo.
So I have a 44 and we'll dam. I have tried all kinds of 22 and stingers and federal punch self defense seem to be the only thing mine likes. Suggestions plz
Are you having failures to feed or failures to extract?
@@308c both on a constant cycle. Out of 300 it's 60+% issues

can I buy a mag from you?
Will these maga work with The Glock 17 with the 22lr conversion?
No it won't ☹️

Grapite on the mags instead of oil
I'll have to try that thanks!
Cci mini mag 7 bucks a box
Tried all different ammo. The magazine is JUNK!. SENT 4 I HAD BAG TO PROMAG. They are ignoring me now!
So far Winchester white box and Federal target match works the best for me. Remington golden bullets are still 100% no go.
Uplula mag loaders ftw ;-)
Are these drop free
Yes they are!!
With the time it take to load and deal with these promags, I could have already shot several 10 round Glock mags.

U got all cheap ammo lol
Its no point buy a 22lr if all you can shoot is the expensive ammo.
