KevinJ: I got to handle my first Glock Model 44 in 22 L.R. today!
It is just SO cool!
It is extremely light-weight - and I looked that up - 14.5 ounces (IIRC!)!
The lightness of weight caused me to ask for permission to take down (disassemble) the Model 44.
The "innards" were extremely well finished and looked surprisingly like my centerfire Glocks (again, IIRC).
The asking price at the store I was in was $335.00 (no sales tax) and I came within a hair of buying it right then - I have a big gunshow coming up this weekend and there is a Rifle there that I have been interested in so I passed on the Glock Model 44 for now.
Come on first of the month (new allowance then!).
I also very much liked the sights on this model and I inserted a dummy round and tried the trigger - the trigger, was the trigger - not bad, not great!
The magazine was pleasingly designed and made, as far as I could tell - I forgot to ask if the factory Model 44 comes with more than one magazine?
Anyway I will have one within a month and will let you's all know how it fires,functions, feels etc.
Can't wait to hear what others think and how they shoot.
Hold into the wind
