Glock 44 – .22 LR

Glock 44 – .22 LR (10+1 Rounds)

The Glock 44 is Glock’s first rimfire pistol, built to mimic the size and handling of the popular G19 while chambered in affordable .22 LR. That means you get the same general grip, sight radius and control layout as a compact 9mm Glock, but with minimal recoil and much lower running costs – perfect for training, new shooters or anyone who simply enjoys high-volume range time.

A hybrid steel-polymer slide keeps the weight very low and helps ensure reliable cycling with a wide variety of .22 LR loads. The pistol uses Glock’s Safe Action striker-fired system, so the trigger feel and internal safety setup are familiar to anyone who already runs a centre-fire Glock.

Factory magazines for the Glock 44 hold 10 rounds, giving you a 10+1 round capacity in .22 LR. The reduced recoil and soft report make it especially well suited for building fundamentals like grip, trigger control and sight tracking without the fatigue of centre-fire calibres.

Adjustable rear sights and a white-dot front sight provide a clear picture on steel or paper, and the frame features interchangeable backstraps so you can tune the grip size. An accessory rail on the dust cover allows mounting of a small weapon light if you want to keep the control layout identical to your defensive Glock.

Used alongside a 9mm Glock, the G44 is an excellent way to maintain skills economically, introduce new shooters to handguns, or just enjoy relaxed plinking with a pistol that feels like your “real” carry or duty gun.

Safety Note (South African context)
