DID any one get to purchase a glock 44 yesterday , Just after the reveal I ordered one with my local gun shop, they are closed on monday I am going there to day to see what is the status, I am heading to a Glock match in Florida next week and would of loved to have brought the new gun to see how it runs.

I’m tempted to but I will wait till the buzz dies down a little. My ffl said it will be a while until they can cover their pre orders and actually receive a decent quantity.
One of my LGS posted one on their FB page on Sat.

Hoping they make a Glock 44x or whatever they would call it with the G48 grip size. I would get one in a heartbeat.
And now you have said that, glock will never do it

I was kinda hoping the opposite. They do seem to just throw shit out there to see what sticks. Give it a year. They'll have the 44 slim or 44x or 46 or...
Yes but if they catch wind it's what their consumers want then they wont play

Did they ever come out with the 19 grip size and 17 frame? They just stopped at the 19x didn't they? You might be onto something
17 slide on 19 grip? No
19 slide on 17 grip.. G45 (19x is like a gen 4.5 G45 is Gen 5 parts)

Feels real Light, feels like plastic, Feels like a toy gun. The barrel looks so tiny . Has the feel of a glock in its tiger. the slide if made of a polymer with the actual portion that makes contact with the frame is made of metal. The slide is a blend of metal and plastics.Looking forward to shooting it . Its size is that of a 19 a little small for my hand ,but it fits my wife hand perfect . Ill keep you folks posted after I shoot it
I watched the excitement on another forum as this unfolded.. Everyone was all atwitter over the "big announcement". Speculation up the butt-
Pistol Caliber Carbine-
Rifle Caliber handgun-
non polymer design-
Revolver-
Long guns in various calibers-
Then the big news.. Glock .22LR... eye rolls...
I am sure its a great pistol but I dunno, the market is awash with great .22's..
Personally I have more .22's than I could use, so I don't need a Glock.
For the most part, I can see Glock fans buying them, and not many others, too many great options out there for good prices..
As some other have said, they could see a rapidly expanding market, with a lot of their competitors coming out with new .22's and felt they had to get a piece of the pie... I hope they make money with the .22, but I dunno, its not for me... bob

Handled and examined one this week. Not particularly impressed. Hopefully it's saving grace is exceptional reliability. But, I have doubts. Id rather a Taurus TX22 and a pile of magazines for $3something.

I have the TX22 and the thing is worth every penny. Hasn't failed on me yet. Hundreds of rounds of even the cheapest crap and it just keeps going. Grip is a touch bigger than I'd like, that's why I'd jump on a 48 sized version.

There's already reports on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram of the slides breaking lol. Seen a couple pictures this morning. Looks like the extractor is coming apart and cracking the slide.

Military Arms posted links to what looks to be two different slides. They are cracked differently. The vertical cracks are in the same area but one also has a horizontal crack. I havent been on Facebook yet looking.

This one doesn't have the horizontal crack.
If you look at the ejector spring in both pictures
Yea you are correct, I saw this picture as well but just a glance and figured same gun. So we are up to 2..
I'll wait to see if more issues arise and how glock handles this

Kinda wonder why it's happened. I'm sure Glock put a few thousand rounds through testing, but I can't imagine any .22 cal round creating a problem. Unless something is wrong with the production run. Did they use a different polymer for the slide that they use for frames? That's pretty strong plastic.

Well we took it to the range today , My wife ran 300 rounds of CCI thru is and it ran perfect. I like it . Will be a perfect trainer gun

That's almost as bad (or as good?) as the old Sig Mosquito! Another craptastic .22!
