There has been a lot of discussions about the Glock 44 and its reliability on the discussion forums. Previously we had lots of problems with the reliability of the Glock 44. We applied some magazine loading tricks we found on the Glock website and based on what other G44 owners were suggesting worked for them. Then we put the "Remington is junk ammo" and "Federal is junk ammo" theory to the test by comparing the Glock 44 to the Taurus TX22.

@countryboyguns 4 года назад

To be honest, I don't care if the "snake oil" style methods described on these forums provide 100% function in the G44 or not. The lack of an out of box threaded barrel option, the limited capacity, and crappy sights along with the finicky nature of the Glock make this gun a no go for me. I mean, seriously, it already takes longer to load mags than to empty them while on the range. I don't want to have to stand on one leg, hold my breath, and raise my left eyebrow exactly 3 millimeters to make the gun work with cheap, readily available ammo. It feels weird to say this, especially since I EDC a G19 or G17 pretty much every day, but gimme the Taurus over the Glock in this case. Thank you for putting out this kind of content and not toeing the industry line, Tim. It means the world to me, and I'm sure to others as well.

@Militaryarmschannel 4 года назад

Thanks man. Just remember, it's our Patreons that make this type of no BS commentary and testing possible. If we were reliant on the manufacturers we would have to behave more like the gun magazines to protect our ability to survive as a business. Since we're viewer supported, we have extreme latitude when it comes to what we say and how straight forward we can be.

I myself am a Patreon supporter and I thoroughly enjoy all of your content. My comment was aimed at my distaste for the G44 and the lack of features and reliability. Had it not been for the content you've been making on the gun, I would have assumed it was 100% good to go out of the box, so I really appreciate you testing it and posting honest results. Again, I'm truly sorry if you or any other Patreon took my comment as an affront to the work you do here or your unbiased information.

The only thing that's gave me problems is federal syandard velocity hollow points, I think it's just a little on the weak side.

@shadowwolf7622 4 года назад

@Willie Wonka I've always had good luck from Taurus handguns. But when I've ordered spare mags from them or talked to their customer service, I've received horrible service from very unhelpful, very rude employees. I keep hearing Taurus is under new management and their customer service has improved. But I dealt with them just a year ago. I ordered 2 mags from them for a 22 pocket auto I had. It took multiple phone calls-many taking an hour to be answered, if at all. When someone did pick up the phone, they were extremely rude and extremely unhelpful. After several months of this crap, I told then I could have walked to Brazil and back by now and picked then up, they hung up on me. Finally, after over 10 months of this crap, I finally received my 2-overpriced magazines in the mail. I sold the pistol and have vowed to never get another Taurus. I'm not buying a gun from a company that has rude employes and take 10 months to deliver 2 mags or parts I need. Oh, and before that mess, I had bought a used Taurus 45 auto double action pistol. It had a weak magazine button spring. Taurus wanted to charge me $15 for that $2 spring. They said the spring was $7-postage was $8! I asked about the lifetime guarantee. They informed me I had to send the gun to them, on my $, for them to honor their warranty. I told the guy I wasn't paying that kind of money for postage to mail a gun to them so they could install a simple spring that I could do in 10 minutes or less. And I wasn't paying $15 for a spring that was pribably worth $2 and should be free under their lifetime warranty. They hung up on me that time too. I sold the gun to a buddy, cheap, as is. I remembered after I got that 22 why I sold that 45. I will not do business with a company that is rude, unhelpful and doesn't wasn't to honor their guarantee. Taurus- decent guns-but horrible service when you need customer support.

@shadowwolf7622 4 года назад

@Willie Wonka Thanks for listening to my rant! Lol. I guess I had to let that out. Anyway, yeah, going to a local gunsmith would probably be a good idea if your Taurus needs work done on it. I've honestly had great luck overall with their guns over the years. When I was young and 1st married, my wife and I both had Taurus handguns. Me a 38 snub and a 92-9mm. Her, a 38 snub. I swore by them and highly recommended them to others. But after a couple of interactions with their CS, I really started having different thoughts about the company. I've had a lot of guns over the years. From cheap to not to cheap, and many in between. My current primary carry guns are a Glock 40 and an older model Rossi 38. Back before Taurus owned them. I'm far from a gun snob. I even own 4 Hi Points. And to be honest-Hi Point customer service is probably the best in the business. And Glock has treated me really good on my last couple interactions with them. I've had some friends tell me Berreta can be pretty unhelpful. I do judge a company a lot by their CS. Any gun can have a problem.How the company takes care of That problem and how they treat customers needing spare parts and magazines is very important to me. And I just don't like doing business with the companies that have crappy and unfriendly CS.

I honestly think that even if the Glock 44 was 100% reliable, it still pales in comparison with the TX22. • The Glock 44 has a polymer slide, the TX22 has a machined aluminum slide. • The Glock 44 holds 10+1 rounds, the TX22 holds 16+1. • The Glock 44 *does not* come with a treaded barrel, the TX22 does. The Glock 44 is in the mid-$300 range, the TX22 is in the mid-$200 range. It really seems like Glock as a company didn't even try with the Glock 44.

Meanwhile I've seen a $10 Jennings .22 auto shooting Remington "Thunderbolts" that worked more reliably than some "Block" 44s using Mini-mags, Federal Auto Match, and Stingers in a vain attempt to make them reliable. My Buckmark, Walther p-22, Taurus TP-22, Ruger SR22, and Ruger Mk II all run with whatever is on hand. My kid sister's Sig Mosquito and Ruger Mk I, as well my buddy's Buckmark, Ruger 45/22, 70-year-old Hi Standard and Walther P22, AND my ex-wife's P22....ALL work with whatever we feed them.

Crewdog 93 True. If I’m going to lay down money on a Glock, I’m doing it for reliability. Period. If it doesn’t do that, I’m not blindly such a Glock worshipper that I’d start justifying why they are still great. Companies make mistakes, it happens. Glock needs to work out the bugs before I get the G44. I’ll still keep buying more Glocks, I have 3.

I'm fine with the concept of finicky guns, _if_ that is made clear up front and you dont rely on a reputation of perfection. for instance i Loooove cap and ball revolvers and they definitely require a bit of care to load, but most people know that at the gate so there isnt any need for deception.

Lucky Gunner Ammo posted on their website the results of their testing many defense rounds. For .22LR, there are three top contenders, one of them being Federal Champion 40 gr, which had about the same penetration as two other top rounds (both of which were hollow tip). That Federal ammo actually outclassed a substantial number of other brands and types -- pretty impressive. So it's what I bought in advance of receiving my TX22 which I bought online yesterday.

I'm starting this off by stating that I'm not a Glock fan. I don't think they make bad guns, I just don't care for them. Okay now that that's out of the way if a gun, especially a .22, takes that much care to load. Is that picky on ammo. Takes different training to use, having to slingshot versus using the slide release ( I'm with MAC, if it wasn't meant to be used as a release then they would NOT have textured the top surface). I totally get the part about making sure that you don't get rim lock in loading the mags. Plus it costs more. All that adds up to a no go for me. For. 22 handgun fun I currently shoot a Smith and Wesson 22A-1 Victory for the record.

@Militaryarmschannel 4 года назад

I think there's a big gap between the marketing hype of the G44 and the actual pistol they put into customers hands. Clearly the gun isn't "legendary" if the standard for such status is extremely reliability, ease of use and compatibility with a wide variety of ammo. Like you said, Colt nailed it decades ago, as did Ruger... and others. Taurus nailed it more recently and did so for $100 less while providing 16 round mags and a threaded barrel for that price. There's nothing legendary about the G44 other than it's just another Glock, and more fickle than its centerfire counterparts in my experience.

When my sister got there me and her went out to shoot it again and we both shot a full mag. She had one FTF with a light strike but other than that it ran flawlessly. All I have ran through it so far is the Agulia, and I only bought those because the two cheapest 500rd boxes were them and the Remington Thunderbolts and I know Thunderbolts are crap ammo. I hadn't read anything about the G44's prefrence for heavier bullets until after I made my purchase. Tomorrow I'll try to run some lighter weight bulk Federals through it and see how they do.

Justin Bellio while I’m hesitant to purchase the 44, .22 ammo is NOT inherently without issues. I have been a firearms instructor since the late 1980’s and teach many classes every year. When people show up with .22s for class I cringe because the ammo itself is inherently unreliable. It’s simply the design of the rim fire cartridge and it’s primer system. It’s also a very dirty cartridge and most people don’t clean them. I have numerous.22 weapons and all of them have issues from time to time, mainly due to the ammo. But if you clean them properly and use good 40 grain ammo such as mini mags you’ll have fewer problems.

I loved the look and feel of the Walther over the Taurus, but function is 100% the most important thing to me.
