Of course the .22 is called a G44, and a .40 cal is called a G22.. so what would they call a .44 cal Glock?
I have any idea..don't buy one if you don't like it..There was a time when Glock was an innovative company.
For any of the boomers not yet "in the know": for the past two days, the internet firearms community on Instagram and Facebook has been on FIRE with memes about how much Glock blew this one.
It would be pretty funny stuff, if it wasn't so damn true.
"They 'blew'" it on a 22 pistol(?)..pretty big brush ya got there, but as I said, predictable..Glock has become a running joke.
No 10mm, no PCC, no 5.7 pistol: absolutely nothing new, exciting, or "legendary."
But its Glock, still stuck in the mid 90's. I guess I'm not surprised.
Another Gluck
For any of the boomers not yet "in the know"
If Glock had come out with a full size gun or bigger, people would be whining about “Why would they come out with a large .22?!” Or “Why didn’t they come out with a Glock 19 size pistol?” If they came out with an entirely new design that didn’t mimic any of their guns, people would be crying about “Why would they come out with a gun that doesn’t help me train on my Glock 19?” Or they would say “Ruger and S&W own the .22 handgun market, why would Glock try to compete with them?!”.
If Glocks new gun had been a new 9mm or .45 Or 10mm or anything else they already make, people would be crying about that too! I’m tempted to say they cannot win but that isn’t true. They will sell a metric pant load of these, just as they did with the Glock 19X, a gun everyone said “Who asked for this?” Or “No one will buy this!”. Glock will win in the end. There is no gun in existence that everyone will want or desire. Well, except maybe the Hi Point Yeet Cannon.
The responses you're seeing here are mirrored elsewhere too. I know you think this forum has an anti-Glock bias. It really doesn't from where I'm sitting.I have any idea..don't by one if you don't like it..

Yawn
Well, I guess it's time to sell all my Glocks, for this boomer, not 'in the know'...cuz ya know, the '22LR pistol' will certainly mean the death of Glock..In spite of record sales up until December 10th, 2019...oh well.
Glock could have introduced ANY gun of ANY caliber at ANY price and the responses would still be predictable..here...
From another forum..a GLOCK forum, where most responses are predictable also-like 'Glock needs a new CEO!"..forehead slap.
Well, I guess that means Glock's CEO had better quit, and Glock had better go out of business...The responses you're seeing here are mirrored elsewhere too. I know you think this forum has an anti-Glock bias. It really doesn't from where I'm sitting.
I think it would have been smarter to make a capable 15 capacity .22 glock and ship it with 10 round mags if need be.
As it is, at least for me, there is no reason for me to get rid of even my Ruger mark III and pick up the .22 Glock.
Well, it wouldn't be a G40. That's a 10MM.Of course the .22 is called a G44, and a .40 cal is called a G22.. so what would they call a .44 cal Glock?
Glocks do work. I liked my Glock 17 and 26, for the most part. They were ultra-reliable, I'll happily give them that.I like my Glocks, they do what I want them to do
why is a Sig 320 called a '320'? Cuz it took 319 tries before they got one that was reliable? Maybe should have been called a 321...Of course the .22 is called a G44, and a .40 cal is called a G22.. so what would they call a .44 cal Glock?
I would not consider the Taurus TX22 a "proven" pistol by any stretch of imagination and it certainly has it's own problems with poor qulity control crappy barrels resulting in horrendous leading and accuracy and slide wear.You would think they would learn something from Taurus, and the 16+1 capacity of t he TX22.
"LEGENDARY" because it's Glocks first rimfire pistol and first pistol not geared to self protection.Elliottsdad A 10 round trainer. For $400. What a "LEGENDARY" announcement. LOL.
Jesus, Glock has become a running joke.
No 10mm, no PCC, no 5.7 pistol: absolutely nothing new, exciting, or "legendary."
But its Glock, still stuck in the mid 90's. I guess I'm not surprised.
Really? When?Elliottsdad There was a time when Glock was an innovative company.
This.sigarms228 I believe the very highly regarded CZ Kadet pistol and kit both have 10 round magazine capacity also. CZ must have found a compelling reason to do that along with Ruger, Browning, SIG conversion kits, and others.
IMO Glock was smart using a 10 round magazine in that tens of millions of firearm owners now live in states with magazine capacity restrictions. Glock may or third party suppliers come out with higher capacity magazines in the future. If Glock leaves it to third party suppliers and problems happen it is not Glock's problem to deal with.
these are symptoms of the real problem, which is more apparent with each new legendary press release.
"Glock has become a running joke"....yup, all the way to the bank several times.
I'm not getting all the crying about, "Why only 10 rounds?".... Really? All of the top selling .22 rimfire semi autos all hold 10 rounds.
All Ruger Mark I, II, III, IV pistols are 10 rounds.
All Browning Buckmark pistols are 10 rounds.
Smith & Wesson Model 41, (one of the finest .22's ever made), 10 rounds.
Browning Medalist, Nomad, and Challenger 10 Rounds.
All High Standard .22 semi's 10 rounds.
So now Glock comes out with a 10 round .22 pistol, and it's somehow a bust because it only holds 10 rounds? I don't get it?
