New Glock PIstol

[Top Dog]

I have heard that Glock has recently introduced a new pistol. Model 44,a 22LR,ten round magazine. Weighs a little over one pound loaded.

Retail is about $400 (probably less). A friend of mine that works at a gun shop in Ohio says they should be out by late January (maybe) and his shop plans on selling them at $359.

Interesting TD and thanks for the info. I wonder why they limited it to 10 rounds. I'm assuming it's a single stack.
Certainly the capacity could go much higher given the size of .22 lr. I would like to know more about it though, and what it's intended use is. I'm sure it is very concealable, however, unless it's just intended to be a back-up, or just simply for plinking fun, I can't see a use for it.
I recently purchased a Ruger Single Ten which is very fun to shoot. I love revolvers, and, it's ten shots as well.
My carry weapon is a 9mm Springfield XDS and also conceals very easily. For SD, I'll stay with the more potent load.
Thanks again though. I do intend to research it. You have sparked my curiosity!

I suspect Glock was either selling enough of their .22 conversion kits to justify a dedicated .22 pistol
OR - they were selling a lot of .22 conversion kits and getting a lot of complaints. Historically .22 conversion kits do not have a great 'track record' of accuracy or reliability.

A spokesman in a vid about it mentioned 'It will use the exact same same trigger as your standard G19' so they are obviously thinking cheaper shooting, training etc. but with the standard Glock 'feel' & action. He also mentioned 'no more .22 conversions' so my guess to the reliability and quality of their conversion kit is probably correct.

Compared to some other poly .22s it has a typically 'clean' appearance and is essentially a G-19 in .22.
Regardless it is not receiving a lot of 'fanfare' on other forums where there is a lot of activity about it and most were guessing when Glock reported 'Something Big is coming' were guessing some sort of PCC.

The reason for the 10 round mag is pretty obvious......

I expect that after the release and if sales go well that higher capacity magazines will become available for sale where legal.
I am interested in seeing if any will show up for rental. Of course I would have to try one out.

[markiver54]

I, personally don't see anything alluring there except for the fact, ( overlooked by me, ) that it might serve as a good training pistol, prior to a larger caliber.

Not fan of any of the Glocks. I have owned one and just didnt care for it. But I know they are very popular.

I love my ' semi auto ' Henrys, because, I am part of the mechanism.

You have a Henry assault rifle right Mark

If the magwell is only designed for the single stack mag then anything higher capacity will not be an option.

If this is the case an extended mag is a possibility but it might only add a round or two.

Seems like if they went double stack, they could get at least 20 to 25 in a mag without compromising concealment.

[Mistered]

I agree but sticking with a single stack will keep it 'marketable' regardless of any 'eventualities' ....

[Top Dog]

From what I understand,Glock will be offering the Model 44 with or without threaded barrels being that some states,Like mine,prohibit threaded barrel pistols. Also a 15 round magazine may become available for areas that permit the higher capacity magazines.

Now as for a semi automatic Henry....there is one already here the Survival Rifle. Mine is perfect,hasn't skipped a beat in many years.

interesting evaluation .... I'd like to fire one

[daytime dave]

I had a very early Glock 17. I gave it to someone who wanted it more than I did. I now own three that I like quite a bit. I like .22 revolvers and pistols. If it has typical Glock reliability, I'll be interested in it.

Daytime Dave,
Knowing Glock,I am sure that they tested the new piece in every conceivable way.

I am sure that it will be like all their others,a winner.

I really don't need another 22,but probably when I see it......I will buy one.
