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.
