I bought one last night. It is used from Gun Broker. I am hoping all the "Bugs have been worked out. I have no idea what year it is or how many rounds have been run through it. Your review is a rare one. I have heard many bad reviews. Yours is the only good one. I am praying to God I feel the same. Thank you, great video-God bless-Shawn.

I purchased 2 of the G44s, one for my wife and one for my daughter so we could all go out shooting on weekends. I later decided that since ammo, even the 9mm is getting expensive for the amount we shoot, to purchase a .22 for myself. Although we love our G44's I decided to buy the Taurus TX22 because it was $100 cheaper. Once in hand and to the range I know I made a mistake and should have spent the money for the 3rd G44. Nothing wrong with the Taurus, but you can tell it is a lower quality pistol than the Glock. Between the 3 of us we shoot about 700 rounds per weekend. Even though I am not as happy with the Taurus, I figure it'll pay for it's self in a couple months anyway.

Iv got over 1000 rounds . Fukn gun runs 100%. And as far as feeding issues goes. It's all in how the .22 is loaded.

[@Dranreb865]

So what is the "right" way to load it?

[@JAG6.7]

@@Dranreb865 it’s on TH-cam.

Just picked one up, my first 22lr semi-auto. Looking forward to trying it this weekend. Great video, gives me confidence I made the right choice!

[@geraldblade1147]

So happy to hear a review that matches the real attributes

[@mattleinberger7220]

I only fire 40 grain. Anything less, jams. Other than that, love it!!!!

[@billylee322]

Glock names them traditionally by the patent number

[@connorog7603]

Love the review. The slide is a hybrid polymer/steel. If it feels to light for anyone just put a light on the rail and it adds that extra weight to it to make it feel like the G19! Also they do have after market 6061 aluminum slides that look awesome at Nelson precision. Great investment!

[@salvomarino7531]

Have you ever tried the 18rounds ProMag magazine?

[@distinguishedpistoloutdoor5821]

Hi ... not yet! Have you? If you have one, let me know what you think! Is it reliable? That's the real question. Clint

[@jamesangel6986]

The ProMag seems to work just fine.

[@mattleinberger7220]

Work great for me!

[@osker7xxx]

Not a good home defense pistol. Plinked, yes, anything else nope.

[@Dranreb865]
