The new Glock G44 announcement (merged thread)

[Exonautic]

I never buy enough of it to pay attention to the price.

Just did a quick Google search. Around .25 a round, more than what I can find 9mm for almost anywhere.

The omnidirectional Glock loading system.?

There are several companies who make Glock 22 conversion kits (that suck) so it seem that the masses did want this. After all the G19 is the most popular pistol in the world. The only dumb part about it is that it was not introduced years ago.

If they made a PCC it would be useless for us in NY, since it would surly would have a pistol grip.

I think its funny that every time Glock releases something there are a bunch of guys on the internet who claim Glock does not listen to their customers. It seem like glock sells a lot of guns that no one wants, weird...

I emailed them a specific list of demands. Nary one was fulfilled.

Im selling my 4 Glocks. I cant even.

Did Glock mess up again .. the G44 .. what about a G44M .. you know 22 magnum too LOL ..

 

[Acer-m14]

should have came out with a pair .. G44 and G44M .. 22 magnum ...

I liked our guesses better.

Plinking type :

Walther P22
Ruger SR22

Target type :

SW Victory
HI Standard Sport King

WTF:

Beretta Bobcat
NAA Mini

I don't see where this fits in my collection.

 

[maverick52]

Well that came and went with a whimper. I just bought an M&P Shield 22 Compact for $249 at PSA for target practice and plinking. I can’t see $400 for a Glock 22lr. I’m saving for a 43x instead

The Perfection type?

Maybe if they put "Perfection Zone" on the grip...

 

[Justincase]

Dang. This just made my ISSC M22 useless.

 

[Podmonkey]

We all knew it wouldn't be exciting, it a Glock afterall. But now that I think about it suprising they haven't had a .22 in the lineup sooner. Now is Glock actually making these themselves or are they slapping the Glock name on an Umarex pistol?

 

[Acer-m14]

Umarex pistol

i been checkin .. all in .177 BB . fk i want one in 22 cal lol ..

 

[Justincase]

I was like, meh at first but then I watched this video. I don't think I've had any of my 22lr pistols except my TX22 display this kind of reliability. If it had the Glock 48 dimensions, I would have one.

OMG .. the girl can talk .. but neither cans shoot lol ..

i'll stick with S&W and Julie Golob hehehee ..

Despite there being much better options for .22 pistols, they will sell a lot I'm sure. Whenever I ask people who are getting or just got their permit what their first pistol will be, the response is always "uhhhh probably a glock?" Glock definitely has that household name selling power. I mean, it IS the gun of choice of both cops and gangstas.

Personally I'm gonna stick with my Mark IV.

 

[misunderestimated]

Do u think mere could benefit practicing with it?

Absolutely. I always recommend having a person start with a 22 to learn the fundamentals, Grip, Sight, Breathing, safely manipulating the fire arm ,Once they are skilled and practiced with no recoil they keep these skills as they move up to a higher caliber With the higher caliber recoil its harder to learn these skills because of the recoil and noise.The problem is most folks want to purchase the most popular gun the gun store sales man try and sell them . And most folks know on there own when they are ready to transition to a higher caliber ,

Glock is trying to take market share back by getting into the 22 caliber Game. Doubt it will have as big of an impact as they think it will. Why buy a G44 and be stuck with a 22 when you can buy a Glock 17 and get a conversion kit for the 22 and have options?

 

[dsdmmat]

The first line says it all. Glock “indoctrination“ up front means you will be coming back To us forever to get the “good stuff.”

GLOCK 44 - REAL GLOCK. NEW CALIBER. EXPERIENCE 22 l.r.

Once you start with perfection – you stay with perfection. The G44 is the ideal pistol to start or enhance your shooting experience. The innovative design of the hybrid steel-polymer slide chambered in our first .22 caliber round provides a lightweight and low recoil functionality for optimal control.

The G44 was thoroughly tested with a wide variety of ammunition to ensure maximum performance and redefine what small can do.

The G44 is a compact size pistol with the ability to adapt to nearly every hand size by using the different backstraps supplied with the pistol. The G44 comes standard with the GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) for increased accuracy and precision.

The right equipment is essential. The G44 comes with adjustable rear sights and two load-assist magazines. Everything that a well prepared shooter needs.

Might not be big news to die hard Glock fans, but it is big news to Glock. Entering a whole new market segment. New class of shooters.

Glock does two things well. They make reliable pistol and have created a cult following to sell, sell, sell. Not that that is a bad thing. A company should do those things. They just exceed really well at it. Oh they seem to completely stay out of politics too. I actually respect them for it. Companies should stay out of politics unless it directly effects their business so maybe it’s time glock. Glock wo t though because they have too many police contracts.

 

[Saltwater60]

Looks like an SR-22 with a Halloween costume on. Sig's Mosquito .22 was a flop.

Ruger Mark IV! That's the way to go for a plinker .22

The sig mosquito had major reliability issues. I considered one and the reviews were horrid.
I bought the SR-22 and it’s meh. I then bought the browning buck mark and haven’t shot it much yet. It functions though. I have to dial in the sights.

I have never even shot a Glock, so I really have no opinion on them either way! So as some have said they are a little late to the party! What I do have is a S&W M&P 40/9 and a M&P Shield in 9mm. Early last year I bought a SIRT pistol ( model 107 ) that is a M&P clone and then the M&P 22 full size, all 3 feel the same in my hand and all 3 fit the same holsters! Now Black Friday I bought a M&P 22 compact feels just like the Shield in my hand and also fits the same holsters as my Shield and S&W 6906! These are plus'es.

If I can get more trigger time then that is not a bad thing! I can mix it up go hot with the 9mm first then cool down with the 22, or visa versa. Also now working with someone else with their mechanics, much easier with a 22 and cheaper when a lot of rounds are needed.

Also now that my Club is going to start having USPSA shoots/matches and Steel Challenge matches there is a rimfire division. So now I can shoot 2 divisions while wearing the same holster.

Plus 22's are just plain fun to shoot!

There was a time when the Military had 22 trainers ( they may still do, I'm not sure )

$400.00, for that?!?!?!?!?

It's a Glock. You had to know it wouldn't be $200, didn't you?

It is a comprable MSRP right between the M&P 22 full size and the M&P 22 compact.

Yup because glock screems expensive

Reserve G44 at Bud's for $369.

Glock G44 .22 LR 4.02 In. 10+1

Easily one of the most eagerly anticipated firearms of 2020, the Glock 44 is the pistol that rimfire fans have been asking for. The monotonous reliability and ease of maintenance of a Glock,

[Bustedknees]

Should have been engineered around CCI Stingers with the barrel rifling and the action to handle it..

 

[beebee]

Looks ok... I suppose if you are a big Glock fan and want a new .22 this might be the gun for you.
I have an SR22 that will do most of what the glock 44 does I imagine.
The model 44 is a bit lighter than the ruger SR 22..
I respect Glock, they are legendary in their reliability,and the fierce loyalty of Glock owners/user/carriers is well known.. As far as innovative??.. meh, not really. Their original concept many years ago, was innovative in the extreme, and made the company the legend it is, but these days?.. not so much..
Ruger to me right now is the most innovative arms manufacturer
Everything they build is solid sales gold, because they are building guns that people want..
We have been discussing the new Ruger LCPII chambered in .22 LR on another thread..
Tiny, pocket size .22 with 10+1 capacity, and supposedly very light to rack.
Ruger ruggedness,easy for older folks and women to operate and shoot.. They will probably sell a lot more of those than Glock sells with their model 44.

Just my opinion of course.

Knowing Glock, you can probably run 1500 rounds of dirty crap .22 LR downrange, never clean it once, and never have so much as FTF or stovepipe... They make good stuff, but need to shake things up a bit in their design dept... bob
