Indeed everything appears the same with the exception of the locking block and the frame molding around it.

It accepts standard Glock connectors. I swapped in a - Connector and the trigger is on par with my G19.

I hope the mags won’t be long. The barrel said in stock and I ordered through Glock on launch day. As of today they still have no info when it will ship.

It happened with federal lead 40gr. I am sure it was probably the top bullet not seated 100% properly. I noticed that slingshot method was more reliable than releasing slide stop. I have to go OCONUS Monday so it will be mid March before I get more range time with it.

So took the G44 out today and shot about 500 rounds through it. Used 3 different ammos. One new box of federal and one box a few years old. They both functioned good and no shooting malfunctions to report. My brother bought a house and there was some 22 ammo that by our best guess is well over 30 years old. None of it would cook off. Just a pop and not enough pressure to send the slide back. No fault of the gun. So the gun was a lot of fun. It’s incredible how little recoil there is. You can rapid fire into a 2” circle at 7 yards easily. As for things I noticed. Some rounds had feeding issue when trying to send the slide forward on a fresh magazine. Had it happen 4-5 times actually. If the round is not perfectly lined up on top of the magazine then it will not send forward and cause a misfeed. Another thing about the magazines is you have to pull the spring down just enough to put one round in at a time. If you pull it all the way down and then try to put the rounds in they will stand up straight and jam up in the magazine. After a rapid fire shooting session between me and my son the gun was barely warm to the touch. Also internally after 500 rounds it does not have the same wear as a center fire glock usually has at the metal on metal parts. Biggest complaints I guess is the 10 round magazine capacity. And the fact that my threaded barrel has still not arrived. Overall I rate the gun 7/10.

Will do. Basically any review that was out before the launch date would have to be slightly or a lot biased. If I was a manufacturer I wouldn't be sending out demos to people that would trash it.

I have not yet. Just had it apart and did some dry firing (yep the G44 can be dry fired). Plan on hitting the range today or tomorrow. If you watch the reviews and the people that covered the unveil Glock tested 123 variants of 22 ammo and over the course of 3 years has fired over 1.3 million rounds. If I remember right they have some samples that have over 40000 rounds without a failure.

The official Glock store has the threaded barrels for 155 bucks in stock.

Was lurking on here for awhile. Decided to finally post. Live in Edmond, OK.

I was mesmerized by a Shadow 2 while at my LGS one day and bought it. I trained with it for awhile and tried competing with it a few times. Couldn’t get into it. Sold it and went back to my Glocks. I shoot better with my cheap Glock and I don’t have to mess with the annoying breakdown of the CZ and the incredibly short throated barrel. One day I will learn that SA/DA guns are not for me.

I have one. I would post pics with it next to a G19 but there is a size restriction on pics for me. The internals look identical from trigger back. Locking block and molding around it are different. Forward of locking block is same. Gun is slightly lighter than the G19.
