Q: What’s a good GLOCK 44 size comparison?
A: It’s a compact handgun. The G44 is indistinguishable in size from a Gen 5 G19.
Q: What is the GLOCK 44 slide made of?
A. The G44 Slide is a hybrid steel polymer design (steel rails, polymer slide body).
Q. What is the GLOCK 44 magazine capacity?
A. These two G44’s use 10 round magazines, although there have been whispers of possible 15 round magazines in the future (my GLOCK carrying cases were marked 15 round).
Q. Are there GLOCK 44 threaded barrel versions available?
A. Factory G44 threaded barrels will be available on the commercial launch date.
Q. Which GLOCK 44 suppressor combination would you suggest?
A. Although I haven’t had a chance to suppress the GLOCK 44, I have purchased a Dead Air Mask specifically for this pistol.
Q. Do you have GLOCK 44 ammunition recommendations?
A. While standard and high velocity ammunition might be somewhat preferable, outside of some ammo with manufacturing irregularities (velocity/charge fluctuations) most quality ammo runs great in the G44. If I were buying a bunch of ammo for an upcoming range/plinking session, I’d grab a few sleeves CCI Mini-Mag without hesitation.
Q. What types of ammunition did you run during testing the GLOCK 44?
A. I used at least 20 different types of .22LR ammunition that varied in bullet weight, velocity and coatings/washings.
Q. How is the recoil and muzzle flip on the GLOCK 44?

A. The G44 trigger feels exactly like a Gen 5 G19.
Q. Does the G44 get dirty?
A. The G44 does not appear to run as dirty as some other .22LR platforms.
Q. Tell me about the GLOCK 44 disassembly process.
A. The G44 field strips for cleaning and maintenance like any other commercially available GLOCK pistol.
Q. Can I swap a G19 frame in for a GLOCK 44 Frame and vice versa?
A. While the G44 and Gen5 G19 Frames appear identical to me, I’ve been told the G44 frame is not interchangeable with other GLOCK pistols.
Q. Can I buy a GLOCK G44 barrel and slide assembly separately?
A. No, the new GLOCK rimfire platform is only available as the complete G44 pistol.
Q. What GLOCK G44 holster and magazine carrier options are available?
A. Any holster or carrier designed for the Gen 5 G19 will work with the G44.
Q. What GLOCK G44 light and laser combinations are currently available.
A. Any weaponlight or laser designed to work with current accessory rail-equipped GLOCK pistols will work on the GLOCK 44.
