The Glock 44 is Glock's .22 LR pistol, sized and laid out like a G19. At 14.64 oz it is the lightest Glock made, which makes it useful for training: the controls, grip angle, and Safe Action trigger mirror what you'd find on a centerfire Glock, so shooters can get repetitions with cheap rimfire ammo before moving to a heavier gun. The Glock Marksman Barrel is standard, and adjustable sights let you dial in the zero.

Features 

The hybrid steel-polymer slide keeps weight down while maintaining the structural requirements for cycling rimfire cartridges reliably. Two 10-round magazines are included. The Safe Action system is the same three-passive-safety setup found on other Glock models. Ammo sensitivity is a factor with any semi-auto .22, the G44 runs best with standard-velocity or higher loads and can be picky about some bulk-pack or subsonic offerings.

The G44 is well-liked as a training gun. The biggest selling point owners mention is the near-identical handling to other Glock models, which lets you build trigger and grip habits at .22 LR cost. Accuracy gets positive marks consistently, and recoil is negligible.

The main complaints are about ammunition reliability, some owners report more failures to feed or eject with certain budget loads than they'd expect from a Glock. This is partly inherent to semi-auto .22s generally, but a few owners feel the G44 is pickier than average. The 10-round capacity is another regular gripe, especially for those comparing it to higher-capacity .22 options. Trigger feel gets mixed reviews; some find it comparable to other Glocks, others think it's slightly mushier. The price point also comes up, some buyers expect a .22 pistol to cost less than it does, though Glock's quality-control reputation does justify some premium over generic rimfire pistols.
