- The G44 as with most semi-automatic 22 long rifle pistols can be a very finicky firearm. Now consider the g44 with an aftermarket slide as well as the added weight of a RDS sight. If you find an ammo that functions flawlessly that's great. However with the cost and availability of ammo it would be to your advantage to have your g44 eat just about anything. With the immense variety of projectile weights, profiles, material, and velocities it is quite a chore to achieve that task. Hopefully this video will help give you insight on how to proceed safely and efficiently.
"Can I speak with some authority" Dude you are "THE AUTHORITY" on Glocks, love your videos.
Fifty-three years ago, when I bought my first car that was in perfect condition until I got hold of it my dad said to me " If you would quit fixing that damn thing it would probably run." It still took several years for that wisdom to sink in. I find that to still be true with most of my firearms. The ones I carry for personal defense are factory stock and they work every time when fed premium factory ammo. I do however have other guns that I like to modify and shoot just for fun I but probably wouldn`t bet my life on one of them. The G44 and the slide conversion for my G22 are great for keeping my skills up to par at a reasonable cost in ammo and when they jam up or quit, I just consider it a malfunction drill.
My stock 44 had every type of malfunction known. After 500 rounds it settled down and now will shoot any ammo. Stay away from Thunderbolt ammo, leads terribly.
Had to replace my sleeve with the aluminum aftermarket replacement. Stock sleeve was hammered after 200 rounds. Now my 44 is a dream to shoot.
Thank you for the knowledge Johnny, I have been inside my G44 many times, and I learn more and more when I come watch your videos. Firing failures are always frustrating on the range, might start taking extra parts with me to try different configurations on the fly.
John, you are truly a Glock Zen Master. That’s intuitive deduction and enlightened insight that others could never fathom. Thanks for the lesson, looking forward to more!
No, Johnny's the goat!
Terrific information , always look forward to your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Just picked up the 44 in May. I love the gun. Great way for me to keep my mechanics in check for a reasonable price
I’m newer to working on my own stuff. And I completely understand that. I’m little hard learning if not hands on. Why I weld fabricate and mechanics. Thanks. Going to order some parts then try so if mess up go back to stock. I get the metal slide to run red dot to. Thanks stay safe keep those video’s rolling.
Lot of good info! I've been looking at new 22's to include the G44.
Very insightful. Thank you!
Very informative. Thanks for the beta!
Thanks. I love this stuff.
30k round omg
Need to give some away?
Such a wealth of knowledge.
I’m a self proclaimed tinkerer but I would never do some of the things you showed in this video. Great job sir.
Love your infovids. You're the Jedi master of all things Glock. I had high hopes for the G44 but it doesn't live up to that Glock reliability. That's why I went with the Taurus Tx22. It's an outstanding functioning and best bang for the buck alternative to the G44.
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!
He’s the Glock trigger wizard for real. Just watching his video reinforces the reason I need a gunsmith lol. I’ve seen the stock 44 really run well with the right ammo. I think Aguila and Federal were the winners FYI, think they recommend cci mini mags, neither one liked that ammo so I don’t know enough. If anyone is having issues I’d sure try it anyway.
great info pal. love my 44 with a red dot. BTW i have over 10,000 rounds through my gun with the farrowtech aluminum spacer sleeve. so glad he designed it. please keep us posted on your 44 pal.
How did you mount the red dot on it?
I got one of those aluminum spacer sleeves and Nelson Precision makes a stronger polymer one too that works great!
@@nearlynormal used a dovetail mount and had to epoxy it in order to keep it from drifting on the polymer slide. guided by johnny glock's advice. it runs great. i am waiting for my Nelson aluminum slide to arrive.
50's? Damn, I thought you were just like Steve Martin going gray in his 20's.
The Nelson guid rod will work for using Gen 3 recoil springs and it comes with a 13 pound spring (according to Nelson) which was too light to close the slide no matter if it was the Nelson slide or an OEM slide. I went through all of this already.
Well it’s definitely easier than you having to explain all that to me in the shop today
rEAL EXCITED FOR THIS i OWN TWO AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME. i HAVE PULLED BOTH OPTICS OFF OF MY 44S . i FEEL LIKE THE gr SPRING IS WAY TOO STRONG.
Another winner!
Mitch the discount
Thank you
Johnny, Well Done and Concise - Thanks Johnny...
I’m glad you did the g44. Lot people have them and like them even if act like they don’t. (22 ha. Get a big gun and so on).
It’s the only glock and first glock I own. And mine eats like a big boy at Shoneys all you can eat buffet. Chews um up and spits um out.
What you going shoot out of it 50 cal bmg. Big mother glock. Great stuff. Watch for my order in about month.
Hey johnny love your stuff and your triggers. I got a g44 recently and it runs fine but the trigger is heavy. beings its just a range plinker, do you think a wolff 4.5lb spring will be enough to snap the rimfire?
Johnny my man, very informative as always 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Own a G44 & Johnny's G44 trigger. Johnny, you are the Goat!
Totally sick video. Even a year old this video is on the cutting edge of glocksmithing!!
Why cut the spring and figure out the issues later? Would a lighter spring (if available) give a better result/solution? Was this done for the porting in the slide (lighter slide)?
Great video, Johnny. I just wish you could've concentrated on the stock slide, because I don't think there are many that are going to put an aftermarket slide on a G44.
Hey johnny I just watched a video saying you do alot more than triggers show some more videos of different stuff it may get you more business 😉 and I have a question can I send you a unfinished p80 to get the frame stippled or is there some legality issue with that being a firearm frame even though it's not finished its still 80% nothing has been done.
JohnnyG, how refreshing for your focus on .22lr when every Tom Dick and Harry tattoo focus on 9mm and other BiG calibers. Salute✌️ I'm a .22wmr magnum fan. It would be nice if Glock came out with a .22 mag. Whole nother market for you 😂
When you have refined and tested bits for this G44 you'll find the .22 plinkers very willing to share their money with you.
Great presentation 👍👍👍👍

PS, stay tuned for Johnny Glock Armorer University with the blown up Glock medical models for instruction. Put me on the enrollment waiting list.
Kris from colorado likes the way you are a hands on instructor. meaning ,.. you get your hands dirty
What I've learned from this video is I should've bought JG trigger for my g44 instead of the tinmey trigger lol tinmey worked great until I installed Nelson precision slide. Now trigger doesn't want to reset. Working on that now that's how I came across this video.
Johnny you are my #1 go-to when I need to learn anything about the glock platform.
Will the Nelson firing pin sleeves be a good option in your opinion if the OEM gets damaged?
my nelson precision slide stove pipes like crazy...i added an 11 pound recoil spring and it works a litte better but it only seems to like thunderbolt bulk pack. there are some days that it wont run at all. im not sure what's causing the stove pipes
Johnny you are the best dude. Learning a ton from your videos
So what’s the maximum weight that I can add to the slide for example by changing the sights so that the gun still can work without issues? I’m using CCI standard 40 grain. Cheers
John, what do you think about polish the g44 feed ramp?
How did the range test go? I'm assuming all worked as it should, but any details or comments you can share?
I may have missed it but did you skeletize the slide to make up for the weight of the optic
Great video. Always learn a lot!
NAScar of G44
Thank’s
Hi John,
your video is very good, you can sell a set of the 3 light weight main springs of this G44 (recoil spring, extractor spring and striker spring)?
Never knew they existed, but at-least one company sells aluminum G44 firing pin spacer sleeves. (Really wish they made them for the other models, or better yet made them in steel). I would like steel spring cups and channel liner also. Think it would make for a much better trigger.)
The channel liner and spring cups are made of polymer for a specific reason. Johnny has a video going over this already
Most intelligent person in the room? Thankfully I'm watching in my car
Everything you do is to reduce friction, whether from the actual strength of a spring or the flex of, surface area of, or angular contact of metal on metal contact.
I was thinking exactly the same thing about cleaning the gun when you were going thru all of the minute details of tuning the firearm. If you do all those small adjustments to make it run, dirt will be the deciding factor.
Simplistic genius from knowing that gun inside and out.
Loads of info thanks for your time
Great
Verry good Johnny, you really need another camera that is in focus at the distance you are filming.
Can we get a link or info on the sights, correct height to order?
Johnny, Glock told me it is a 12 pound spring. I confirmed. It is truly 12 lbs.
I love my G44! I got it October 10th and have shot 15,500 rounds. Only issues were with some cheap Federal range pack. I shoot 500-600 rounds once a week and clean my gun after each trip. I've upgraded the heck out if it. I have a Ranger Proof trigger with an oem minus connector, Hiviz fiber optic sights, Talon grips, Glock Oem extended slide stop, Hyve extended mag release, Nelson Precision aluminum locking block and striker spacer.Pearce grip extensions for each of my 10 magazines. Going to the range in about a hour to shoot it again!
Will a Gen 5 4lb firing pin spring work?
I bet Johnny has done some vert skating in his past.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but you show the extractor snapping over the rim, but it only functions that way when the round is top-loaded. When feeding from the magazine, the rim of the case is supposed to slide up underneath the extractor, not in front of it.
I might be wrong about this, but I think the round coming up from underneath the extractor is true for all Glock models other than the 44. In the 44, it does operate as Johnny states. You'll notice that the 44 doesn't "tilt" the barrel like the traditional John Browning "short recoil" operated guns.
@@floorpizza8074 I should have thought of that. I withdraw my objection. 😁
Do you plan on offering that as a service to the g44s
I'm surprised to see so many glock parts in stock, and a glock specialists like him.
I've had them since 98 and have never had the 1st part failure of any kind. all stock with 4lb connectors.
I'm assuming you have police dept contracts? or who brings their glock in for service work?
Check out his website. Good stuff.
What’s so surprising about it? Glock is the most sold, most carried gun in America. What’s so shocking to see people selling parts for it and offering gun smithing services?
@@jstud999 gun smithing services for a Glock isn't needed, just plug and play.
Main reason I said a Glock "gunsmith" isn't needed was, they never break.
And if they do its a simple plug and play part. I love Glocks brotha
Ndz has a adapter to run gen 3 recoil spring in gen 4
Need to see that 4 foot glock
With your camera tilted up , the center of the viewer is focused on the back wall. Also if you use your open palm behind the part the camera will focus. Or put some goggly eyes on your slide. 😂
Fantastic. Thank you.
What manufacture are those fiber optic sights?
I think he mentioned that they are from Dawson Precision.
I got a 44 and only brought one brand of ammo the first time. (I know better and usually take several brands of .22 ammo) and had so many malfunctions, I got totally frustrated. Out of 50 rounds, I had 45 malfunctions. Then I tried other ammo the next time I toook it out and it worked pretty good. Still not as good as I expected. But I just want it for a training gun.
What ammo ended up working out?
@@AIRBORNE916 the High velocity stuff. The problem I had was with the Remington 22
Remington .22 is krap❌. Throw it into a swamp. Really.
Why did Glock care to engage the safety plunger with the trigger housing as the slide is most rearward? I don't understand why they would do this?
To float the firing pin.
Like a car bigger carburetor and little exhaust no good. Bigger exhaust , needs bigger valves to get max potential. And so on.
The back of the room is almost Always in focus. Maybe try the camera in macro mode. Otherwise the close ups are about worthless to a newbie like me.
Curious to know of the Timney trigger works in the G44?
Cant wait until my new trigger shoe comes in!!!!
1/4 pipe ,1/2 pipe Johnny glock a skateboarder , surfer 🏄 from way back old school I bet. He’ll grind the trucks or triggers don’t matter. Lol 😆. Johnny ur the best when comes to Glocks for sure. Great teacher and innovator of the Glocks.
I'm still surfing and skating with my kids bro
@@johnnyglocks cool
NICE VIDEO...DOCTOR GLOCK..........BRAZIL HERE
Johnny I have question can you make the glock 44 into a binary gun ?
Johnny glock your the man brother
You should start doing your own polymer 80 if buy it from you
Gen. Glock has entered the room! Attennntion! 17:26 🤯 Thank you
Comments help your channel. Here is mine. Great video.
🤙🏼
So “perfection” doesn’t apply to the 44. I have 7 various Glocks and the only one I don’t care about is the 40 mos 10mm , horribly inaccurate. This video has completely talked me out of getting the 44. My Ruger mk4 will eat anything cheap and expensive all the same.
Sir, you bear a striking resemblance to Mike Mccready.
Yes Sir, love them deuce, deuces. Your the best bro a big ass Glock I hear you. Yes. I want one not a 44 have one I need a big ass Glock. BAG. I'm going to say ur the johnny cougar of Glocks. speak the authority sound, pow.
Love all the videos had to resub crazy ass phone this CAP. Lol
From ur ole hillbilly buddy stay safe carry a glock
Hundreds of rounds through my 44 and I've yet to have a single shot with out a malfunction. Running out of ammo to try, never have had a single malfunction with my 19 through tens of thousands of rounds. Very disappointed in the 44.
No shade on glock but just buy a tx22
Hi John farmer hear I am a Glock man preorder a g 44 wend they first came out good luck big turd I ever own 200 hundred round it blew up BIG TIME sent it back they fix it used it bam what a mess they fix it again put it away in the safe never use it again love what you do
Dm d
G44 is just trash u have to do all this just for this thing to work
I just put Advantage-Arms 22LR conversion on my 17 9mm / 22 40 cal lowers or 357 sig Can swap between different 4 calibers on same lower. Best bang for the buck vs the not great issues of the Glock 44
That’s recoil spring. I could tell immediately
