Glock announcement

[david s]

Just to be contrary I believe Glock got it right. They are chambering it in the legendary 22 Long Rifle, it's just the pistol that's lacking the status.

Meh. To each his own I guess. Far and away to many really great .22's out there that fall into the target pistol or hunting use category. I see the new glock 44 as useless as the Waltherr PPK/S .22 all it's good for is for glock guys to add another glock to their collection.

I am also not impressed - CZ had the Kadet and Kadet Kit for a LONG time before Glock finally realized full sized duty pistols in 22lr will sell.
I wish that they HAD brought out a Glock pistol caliber carbine - THAT would be revolutionary IF it wasn't another AR clone.

The carbine would have been the smart move- at least in the US.  That’s something I would have been interested in.

The Glock 44 is in 22. The Glock 22 is in 40. The Glock 40 is in 10 like the 20. There is no Glock 10, but there is a Glock in 9 aka the 17 and 19 and 26 and 43, not including the 48 - which came out before the 44 - and the 43X, which are the same except for the ways in which they’re different. Actually they’re like the 45, which is a 9, which is the same as a 19x which is actually more like the 17 than the 19. Strangely enough the 45 came before the 44, but 45 came before 9, but not 44, so maybe that’s the logic. If you wanted a 45, you need a 36, a 41, a 30, a 21, or a 21SF, or a 30S, or a 30SF. Of course if you want Glock’s 45 you need a 37, 38 or 39. The 38 isn’t a 38, there are other 38’s. If you want a Glock, definitely get the 19 and maybe a 22 to practice with - not the 40 22, but the 44 22. The 22 won’t help you to practice with your 9 as much as a 23, which is closer to the 19. Unless your goal is competition, in which case you should have been considering a 35 or 17L or 24 or 41 or 34 which are 40 9 40 45 9 respectively. The 31 32 and 33 are actually 357’s but not the 38 357’s. They’re 357’s that are more like 9s but not like the 380 is like 9’s. If you wanted that you need a 42. And nobody likes a 42, you’re better off with a 9. And therefore try a 44 because everyone loves to work on their 9 with a 22.

Edit: Glock if you read this I want a 44 but not a 22, that is I don’t want a 22 at all but I want a 44 because I’m already into the 22 and I’d prefer a 44 to a 22. Also please make a 50 that is a 17 22 or a 22 22 and make a 49 that is a 50. Thank you."

EK takes it next level. Well done, sir.
