    Glock .22LR

    It's a cheap pos but it's accurate enough.

    I would get one as a plonker if I could stand it malfunctioning once every magazine.

    G44? If so tried a mates down at the club a couple of months ago and loved it. Fiocchi ammo was used and no issues at all.

    Enjoyed it so much been seriously looking at making a hole in the safe for one

    I don't know what model it was,it's pretty recent though.

    Be a good stable mate to a centerfire glock if you got the bugs worked out of it.I fired Norma,Eley,and some Hi velocity CCI,it was unfortunately pretty shit reliability wise.

    Reminded me a bit of how bad the Sig Mosquito was tbh.

    The photo is a Glock 44. It is right there on the slide.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I've been told that Glock numbers are related to their patents rather than their calibres which is why they don't seem to make sense

    ie Glock 44 is a 22 but it was patented with a 44 in the number somewhere

    Happy to be wrong but I had always wondered why Glock model numbers seemed all over the place

    Yep. A Glock 22 is .40 S&W. The model number has nothing to do with calibres.

    What's the difference between a conversion upper vs a dedicated 22? A mate has a 17 with a 22 slide etc that works just fine with all mags. Odd that the dedicated one would be a ballsup

    I don't know the answer myself. Get your hands on a .22 Glock and see how you like it.They are really cheap here,approx one third of the price of a 9mm glock ,which is its self the cheapest new pistol on the market here.
