Introducing the Glock 44!

[Mad Professor]

What is that sight combo?

Anerigko ProDot front that is .140” wide. Dawson serrated Rear with .135” notch. The front takes up more space than it appears in the picture. About 1/2 the white space is eliminated. I run this combo at most matches and on a couple of carry Glock’s.

Ok I got this. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/pro...extra-22lr-hvsp-40-grain-500-rounds?a=1837104

Its HV not standard. I know it works in my M&P 22 Compact so hope it should work in the G44. Time will tell though

I just picked up a couple of boxes to try. I’m pretty sure it will work.

I thought that Glock 44 was suppose to run with any kind of 22lr ammo?

We all know that was a pretty bold statement and there would be some ammo that would be difficult.

Could it be your changing out of the plastic sights maybe?.

I doubt it. But, I have a 100% stock gun to check.
I just heard from a friend that their two G44s are having issues with Federal Bulk 36g.

Let me get back with you in a bit. [emoji16]

It wasn’t even running the slide back enough to extract it, much less eject it.

Wow, that's not good. I may just hold off a bit on getting one.

It may be like every other .22 I have ever owned. You have to find what it will and will not run reliably. Where it hits etc. I really didn’t expect this one to be much different.

.22LR ammo variations and quality control are a *****.

It runs great in my go-to, CCI mini-mag 40g CPRN.
Seems to on others, but need more time to tell.

Could also be they just need a couple thousand thru them to loosen up a bit too. I always buy HV .22 ammo because of what MP just said. There's too much variation from brand to brand. What one company calls high velocity is actually a pipsqueak'ish round because they use a lighter bullet and such. I also try to stick with 40 grain bullets.

The Aquila SV should be running at 1000 +/- which is 100 under the stated fps, rather surprised it didn't have enough Umph..
Hopefully after break in that changes.. Is the slide as easy to rack as you would think it to be for a .22 ?
