Shooting people have likely been expecting a Glock rim-fire semi-auto ever since the 1990's .. but Glock Ges. had held it's peace on that topic for something like thirty years - despite innovating various models in multiple calibres all along the way towards this coming 2020 year - when Glock U.S. will now unleash the new Glock G44 rim fire iteration.
My guess is that there are around twenty different models alone of 9x19mm Glocks .. including the different generations & S.F short frame versions - but the very best of all (right now) is my G19x in coyote tan (- that's "dingo shit" in aussie-speak).
- I have run an Advantage Arms .22" Conversion Kit on a G17 for years - and it has worked pretty much as expected .. in other words it has been fairly reliable with a few brands of rim-fire ammunition but certainly was not good enough for any "life & death" situation.
Advantage Arms - Glock 17 conversion
- Yeah It Worked mostly ..
Glock certainly took their time - three years development *and testing .. it seems firing 1.2 million rounds - before presenting their .22" rim-fire model . Probably because they didn't need to hurry - they were busy building and selling more centre-fire handguns than anyone else on the planet .. including licensed production in places such as Russia - plus many unlicensed "copies" in other locations.
- I'll have to order a G 44 in the new year as TFB
seems to do a thorough review and reckons that the G 19 sized blow-back action "G 44" two-two is better than the rest.
- & here's "sootch" burning some brass "rapid fire" and demonstrating how to turn the new rim-fire 'auto' inside-out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0gEagPOfXU
.. and in a further video sootch compares the G 44 to the Walther PPQ 22 .. both good guns:
The usual crowd of 'glock-knockers' have again escaped from their minders and are shouting rude comments about this novelty - but listen carefully Bubba .. if you don't like Glocks .. DON'T BUY ONE.

* Just imagine how even the USFA ZiP 22 LR might have run like a clockwork mouse - if they'd have had three years development before going to market 😎.
