 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in most of you are probably aware Maybe some of you are not the Glock introduced a new handgun today this morning December 10th It's called the Glock 44 and it's chambered in 22 long rifle It has the same size and dimensions as the Glock 19. All right. It's got a four-inch barrel It does have front serrations and adjustable rear sight Additional back straps and what makes the G44 interesting is that the slide is a hybrid of steel and Polymer and the rails are all steel so it Minix the Glock 19 same size. I imagine it's a bit lighter They said the slide is lighter and that will help chamber the 22 long rifle now many people Were wondering what Glock was going to come up with because of the lead-up Glock said there's a huge announcement It's coming on December 10th And it left a lot of people wondering what is going on and they introduced the Glock 44 And I'm sure there's a lot of people that are excited about that I remember last year right around the same time Glock introduced the 43 X and the Glock 48 and here's the 43 X I was extremely excited about this I think Glock did a nice job. Now a lot of people said I've got the Glock 26 I don't need that 43 X, but they did like the 48 and whatever the case a lot of People enjoyed it a lot of people were running around trying to get them and I was no different I don't feel like I'm going to Have that same well, I know I don't have that same type of enthusiasm for the Glock 44 mainly because it's It's just not that interesting to me now every time Glock puts out a new handgun People get in front of their camera They get in front of their computer and blog and so forth and say that Glock really dropped the ball They say that and they say you know, this is gonna do horrible. Nobody's gonna like it And yet Glock cannot even keep them on the shelves in the local gun stores I think that is what is going to happen with the Glock 44 I think people are going to run after it the MSRP is $430 it will probably sell for right around that price Initially and then eventually it'll drop to right around $400 Glock is saying it's a great training tool leading up to the Glock 19 Well, it might be a great training tool being that it does have the same size and most likely a little bit lighter But when when shooting it's it's the recoil management It's that felt recoil that is the difference. So with a 22 the the forehand hardly moves when shooting Even with a 9mm that does have very light recoil It it still recoils a bit where you have to get on target Between every shot and so when I hear that it's a great training tool I agree with that with that to a point and then to another point It's not even in the same ballpark when shooting 22 long rifle I think of that I don't really care for with the Glock 44 is that they the magazines are 10 rounds each now Taurus put out the TX-22 last year and that's a 16 round magazine plus one And that's also a striker fire gun and that could be purchased for right around 250 260 dollars the 44 G44 is the hazard MSRP of 430 Quite a big difference there now. I know some of you guys are saying well How dare you put Glock in towards in the same category? Well, isn't that what we're looking at here? You know, I mean the the TX-22 that Taurus put out was Phenomenal handgun. I mean it was a real nice shooting handgun. It's a striker fire It was very light and then it did everything that anybody who loves 22 long rifle Would expect for it to do and I have to believe that the Glock 44 will do everything that people who love 22 long rifle would expect it to do. I'm sure it's going to be accurate but you know Walter has that M&P has that a Taurus has that now Caltech is coming out with a 22 long rifle handgun with an MSRP of 199 So you look at that you look at what Caltech did last year with the CP33 that was very innovative Had Glock came come out with a 1911 oh my gosh, I would be on fire for it if Glock came out with a Carbine I would be contacting Glock constantly trying to get my hands on one or a revolver. I would be so excited This just isn't something that I'm going to chase after For Glock to come out with the G44 it kind of brings me back to when they came out with the Glock 40 MOS Yes, it was cool. Yes It was a big their long slide Glock and 10 millimeter that had the modular optic system and Yes, it brought a little bit of excitement But I don't think there are a lot of people chase it after it And I don't think a lot of people are going to be chasing after this the 1911. Oh my gosh I'd be on fire revolver. Yep carbine it caught me in Glock 44 and we'll have to see what the wait and see it's a wait and see thing But they did introduce it. There was a lead up to the launch It was very exciting a lot of people is standing by their computers wondering What Glock is going to come up with and now we know and it's just not a game changer in my opinion But we'll have to see maybe it's the greatest thing on earth But at this point I seriously doubt it if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
