Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Glock 44?

The Glock 44 is a striker-fired, polymer-framed .22LR pistol that mirrors the size of the Glock 19. It uses a blowback operating system and comes with two 10-round magazines. Its lightweight design and familiar Glock ergonomics make it appealing for training and practice.
