Actually the Glock 44 can be dry fired and not damage the gun as well.
I have a S&W M&P 22 Compact that my wife mostly shoots. It was a disaster when I first got it in that about half of the rounds would fail to eject and actually were jammed in the barrel and I had to use a cleaning rod or a wooden dowel that I made to remove the brass from the barrel. I finally got fed up after about a year of taking the gun apart after about half of the rounds to remove the brass and finally sent it back to S&W. The provided pre-paid shipping, turned the gun around in about 3 weeks and did a "repair" on the barrel according to the paperwork. Since then I have not had a single failure of any kind which is completely unusual for the cheap bulk 22lr ammo I am shooting in it. Probably well over a thousand rounds and zero failures with it.
I also bought a Glock 44 when ammo got so high because I have a Glock 19 for my EDC gun and it's the same size as the G19. It fired every round of cheap ammo I put through it with maybe 2 or 3 failures in the first couple of thousand rounds and no problems with magazines or anything else with it. Then I bought some Federal Automatch and it's garbage ! I get at least 2 and sometimes 3 fail to feeds out of every 10 round magazine. It's no big deal to just rack the gun to feed another round, but this is the only ammo I have had with any kind of problem like this in it. I only keep shooting it because it is readily available at my local Walmart and only about 6 cents a round, so I'll put up with the annoyance of having to rack it to get it to fire since I don't use if for anything but target practice.

Sorry, I already know I am not going to be much help on modern. Love the old High Standards. Very well made, accurate pieces. ( but my favorite is an old W German revolver that looks like it was drug by a kid on a gravel road. Terrible looking, straight shooting, never failed me yet! Best $25 I have ever spent most likely! )
My experience with the Federal AutoMatch is that it seems to have a harder rim than normal. In my rifles that strike light I have all kinds of issues. But in the rifles that strike hard I don't have any issues. It works great in all of my bolt actions, but the semi autos are finicky with it.
I have probably only had 2 or 3 of them fail to fire out of 3 or 4 thousand rounds I have shot recently. That is not the problem and the problem I have with it would never be noticed in a bolt action rifle. Problem is, I don't have a bolt action rifle. It's pretty much garbage for a semi-automatic and the irony of that is that on the box, immediately below the name Auto Match is printed in bold letters, "ideal for seim-autos"
What a load of ****. You would think someone high up in Federal would know it's crap ammo and be smart enough to take that off of the box!
I somehow misunderstood your issue. I should learn to read I guess.
It is labeled as 1200fps. And in reality it's probably closer to standard velocity than high velocity. Perhaps that is the issue?
I know I get tons of jams with it due to extraction issues in all of my Marlin 60s. I also have the same issue with CCI SV in these rifles too.
Run Mini-mag or Blazer and they are happy all day long.
Sooner State Pawn has several Taurus TX22 in stock atm.
I looked at the Chiappa when I was there yesterday, but we found it had a broken safety. I believe it's getting sent off for repair.

Yea, but I'm not paying for mini-mag to shoot holes in paper and have not seen any 22lr Blazer for a couple of years.
Now you have to customize it, to make it your own !!!!!
Maybe Not !!!!!!!
