For decades there have been 22 conversion kits and replacement slides to convert Glock pistols to shoot low recoiling, affordable .22 Long Rifle cartridges — but now Glock has met that demand straight from the factory with the new G44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Glock 44 fits in G19 holsters, which makes it a perfect training gun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The G44 is the same size as the hugely popular Glock 19, chambered in 9mm, however, the G44 is considerably lighter. Plinkers are going to love this gun, as are those firearms instructors teaching new shooters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G44 comes with two 10-round magazines. The magazine was designed to maximize reliability and has a load-assist built in the side to pull down the follower, which makes loading easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little rimfire comes with many of the same features that are a hit on its big brothers, such as flared magazine well, standard Glock texturing, front and rear cocking serrations and an ambidextrous slide release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slide is a polymer steel combination, to keep it light but durable and reliable. This will be covered in more detail in full review to follow. The slide weight has been tuned to allow reliable function with both low and high-velocity ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In support of the new G44 the Glock Shooting Sports Foundation (GSSF) is adding a rimfire division. This will allow owners to compete in one additional class for even more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G44 is already shipping to dealers, so they should be on the shelves when you read this. MSRP is $430, with the street price expected to be around $360-370.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
