Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Glock 44 22LR announcement today...

Weight (no mag): 12.63 oz / 358 gr
Weight (empty mag): 14.74 oz / 418 gr
Weight (loaded mag): 15.94 oz / 452 gr

...any lighter and it would float...

Having a 19 and a 23 I know I'll end up with one especially since threaded barrels will be available...

Also if you read the article, there was packaging in the box that indicated the possible existence of 15 round magazines...

Of course it will! I read that on the internets!

My Advantage Arms 22 conversion with magazine weighs 17.0 oz mounted on a Glock 22. Neat little package.

fwiw,

When I posted this morning, I was thinking the whole marketing fervor and follow-up dissapointment during the live announcement today was funnier than the actual pistol itself. Let me start this by saying I own and carry Glocks regularly (had one on my hip for a 10hr patrol day today and even have a 22LR conversion kit for my G21), but the marketing team should have just announced this with minimal fanfare instead of promising everyone a revolutionary change in Glock's line-up. It'll make for a nice novelty for those who want a similar sized trainer, but revolutionary it is not. When I watched the live announcement this morning on FB, the vast majority of the replies were of significant disappointment (of the 987 or so replies I saw being typed during the live announcement, only 3 were positive comments and many of the other comments were hilarious.... hence my misguided attempt at humor here this morning). Everyone was expecting somethiing BIG from all of the over the top lead-up to the announcement, so when Glock announced a rimfire, very few Glock fans were happy. Glock has a history of not listening to their biggest fan base and just releasing what they want instead of what their buyers want. Anyone who follows their history for new releases know they regularly under-deliver the product compared to the hype. Not knocking the pistol, it'll probably work as designed if kept clean and I'm sure folks will buy a few of these, but I don't think they'll be huge sellers. I may be wrong, it's happened once before.

Okay, now I don't feel sorry for you anymore.

Actually, I didn't feel sorry for you before, but if I had, now I wouldn't.

No need to feel sorry, I was reminded to watch the "Live" announcement from Glock (only on facebook) a couple days ago, so I tuned in as I was getting ready for work. It was the only place to see the announcement as it was released. No biggie.

Like I said above, not knocking the pistol, only the hype surrounding it. Was reminded of the release of the G42 and the videos that followed when EVERYONE was expecting a single stack 45acp with a 5" barrel to run head to head with the 1911. Some of the comments were classic. I had a good laugh and that's always a good way to start the day.

I'm guessing I'll own a couple provided they'll work. It's a Glock duh.

Only got about 6 G19's various Gens. Gonna be a hoot.

I would like a 15 round mag....just like the G19. Would be a handy trail gun/Plinker/companion gun on big game hunts for targets of Opportunity (Grouse, etc).

I wonder if the magazines will work in the AA or TS .22 Convetsion Units...

I will get one.

Steel ringing party at my place... 😁

This is like going to your favorite bar but suddenly all the beer is only a dime a bottle!

Is this going to be another $500 glock experience?

MSRP of $400 according to the linked article. Street price should be lower.

Stumbuster: I don't understand onefuckingword of your posting but on down the thread I ran across some intelligible posts that informed me that Glock is making one of their pistol models in 22 L.R.
I am looking forward to owning one.

Jim in Idaho: Thank you for that price clarification.

Dla: I own half a sink full of Glock pistols and I don't ever recall paying "$500.00" for any of them - shop more carefully is my suggestion.

Im kind of like VarmintGuy, in my world, there is no such thing as a 500 dollar Glock, between $300 and $400 is where they are at.

Wow! You sure are naive. Glock only recently lowered their prices in face of competition. But for years you were darn lucky to find a Glock-anything for under $500.

Pretending you have actual experience with guns again? Most of us actually buy guns and shoot them, instead of just getting fat in mom's basement and repeating stuff you've read online.

Good deals on Glocks have always been available for those who cared to look.

Yondering: I agree with all of your contentions, absolutely!
I for one, AM a careful shopper but it was easy for me to obtain many Glocks for way under the aforementioned/alluded to "$500.00"!
Long live Glock.

Your honesty is refreshing.

G19s are on sale for $399 at Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore. Probably the lowest price in at least a decade.
