gunz213 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I put 637 rounds through mine today and I had one light strike that fired the second time and two rounds hung up on the feed ramp when I hit the slide stop on a full magazine. Both were bulk HP rounds and after that I didn’t have any problems. It does not like subsonic ammo. I put 10 rounds of Aguilla 40gr and the first 5 rounds ejected, but didn’t have enough energy to load the next round. Range was 10 yards and I was shooting as fast as I could load the only magazine I bought. Ammo used: CCI Stinger 50 Federal black 100 Federal Auto match 50 Federal bulk 50 Winchester black 50 Winchester 555 bulk 50 Aguilla super 50 Aguilla subsonic 10 rds 5 failure to feed CCI Blazer 50 CCI ar tactical 152 Winchester wildcat 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why you were shooting subsonic. I'd be interested to see if it would cycle with subsonic while suppressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunz213 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I do not have a threaded barrel yet. Someone on another forum asked if it would work, so I gave it a shot. I think it will run subsonic ammo with a suppressor in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to wait until higher capacity magazines come out and if Glock will offer a stock model with a threaded barrel. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12glocks Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We picked up a Glock 44 tonight. I feel like I have a fair amount of experience with 22 LR pistol, I shot Bullseye for a couple of years (which I find totally boring now). Our dealer had 3 in stock and we picked the gun that felt like it had the lightest trigger of the three. We ran 220 rounds through the gun. Two hundred rounds were CCI mini mag, and 20 were Federal standard velocity bulk target that Walmart sold years ago. The gun ran 100%. We were at a indoor range and the bulk Federals were plain lead bullets and there was more smoke, less desirable inside. The slide did not lock back every single time for my wife. It was reasonably accurate but shot about 0.5" high at 10 yards. It is basically like shooting a centerfire Glock except for the sights barely move off target with a quiet report. I thought the trigger felt a little stout when dry firing but it felt nice enough shooting it. I have at minimal 3.5 pound connectors in every other Glock I have including the carry guns but I do not plan to change the trigger. I pulled back on the striker and the striker spring feels pretty strong. The barrel cleaned up easy with some Hoppes. I was worried about cleaning out lead, but a few passes with a nylon brush and a single patch and it was pristine. I have a 12 year old that likes shooting and this will be a good skill building tool for him, lots of rounds to build good habits. My wife is a competitive 3 gunner also and so many woman have asked her for training. We feel like this would be a good tool for that as well. It was genuinely and surprisingly fun to shoot.

It accepts standard Glock connectors. I swapped in a - Connector and the trigger is on par with my G19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have some - connectors laying around and will try one. I think Glock specifically engineered the locking block differently otherwise it would have been interchangeable with the compact frames. All the fire control components seem the same in the frame.

scduckman03 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Glad to hear they are running like a Glock should. Does anyone know If there is a threaded barrel out there that is 1/2x28 without having to have a adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and it is unlikely there ever will be since the BBL diameter is to thin to thread 1/2x28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha.. didn’t understand that.. now I see why the adapter. Don’t understand what they didn’t make the barrel same diameter as Glock 19 and they could have threaded it without any issues.

There's better steel challenge and Rimfire challenge guns out there. I have 2 22/45 lite's for those. One with irons and one with optic. It's nowhere near as accurate as they are but it's still lots of fun to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funflyr Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Yesterday I installed a set of Dawson Precision Glock Adjustable Sights. https://dawsonprecision.com/dawson-precision-glock-adjustable-sight-set/ The factory sights were easy to remove and the new sights installed without any issues. Some early reports have stated that the extra weight of the Dawson sights have had an effect on the guns ability to cycle. This week I will test the same 6 types of ammo that I tested with the factory sights in place and see what the results are. This is the list of ammo.

I have a spare set of Dawson adjustables, and a Sevigney fixed rear with a couple of Dawson fiber optic fronts. I’d prefer to go with fixed, so hopefully one of the ones I already have will be the right height. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear that a regular “-“ connector will fit. I’m pretty sure I have at least one of those lying around too, but I’ll put a few hundred rounds thru it before making any changes.
