Maybe the next version will have the MOS, so us old guys can put a red dot on it.

Just get a Ruger mark 22 and don't look backMaybe the next version will have the MOS, so us old guys can put a red dot on it.
In all fairness, MAC did a second video that included some of the tips and tricks from forums that people have used to get the G44 to run with 36gr bulk ammo.
Consequently, he may have also had a hand in selling thousands of TX-22's. If he is not already sponsored by Taurus, he should be - haha.
This has been my experience as well. I just load the mags like I do anything else, load the gun, mostly from slide lock with the slide stop, and shoot the gun.The tips and tricks I used were in this order: Load Ammo in magazine, put magazine in gun, rack slide, aim, pull trigger. Worked every time. It is procedure that also seems to work for the absolute majority of shooters that have one as well. Yes, there are problem guns which are to be expected with a new release. I just bought a Ruger 10/22 after years of saying I would never do such a thing and of course I got one that will not reliably operate with anything. There ware also numerous instances of Ruger handguns doing the same thing yet people don’t go around saying they are inherently flawed.
I’m always getting busted for my type-os. I’m a very bad speller and spellcheck makes my post readable.
I know I should proofread, but then y’all wouldn’t have the pleasure of poking fun at me.

There’s a bunch that claim their guns don’t function well with bullet weights under 40 gr.
Threads like this just get to me a little bit because the logic goes like this:
Then, nine types of ammo are used, seven of which are 40gr - which are the ones without the reported problems. The other two being Rem Subsonic 38gr and Armscor 36gr. I am glad these were tested. We at least know that there are ammos under 40gr that can cycle a G44.

However, these aren't the ammos that the youtubers had trouble with. What do you notice about these...... they are incredibly rounded. The Armscor has the bullet shape of CCI SV (or AR tactical), a shape that feeds even the pickiest firearms. The 22 subsonic is a 40gr profile with 2gr difference being the HP.
So, the devil is in the details.
What ammos did the youtubers have trouble with?
22 Plinkster had problems running Federal 745
MAC had problems running Rem GB's, Federal FR2236, and Federal 730

These ammos have a different bullet profile.
We know that all rimfire can have good or bad lots.
IMHO, MAC's FTF's with Rem GB's may not affect most G44's. It may be his mags or the box of GB's he has. Especially since others have used them with a consistent amount of failures that are normal for rimfire.
However, has anyone here used Federal 745, 730, or FR2236 since these are the ammos the youtubers are having trouble with in the G44?
It may be that the bullet profile has a bigger impact than simply the bullet weight in grains.

I would have loved to test more 36 and 38 gr bullets, but that was all that I had. And I have over 30,000 rounds of 22 lr ammo. And 40 gr ammo is more common when it comes to 22 lr. I do plan to buy some more lighter weight 22 ammo to try in my gun.Threads like this just get to me a little bit because the logic goes like this:

This is something that I find annoying as well. They may well have gotten a bad example, and its not proving anything, if they just do the same thing over and over and keep saying theres a problem.After watching his video again, he was having issues of light primer strikes and failure to eject, neither of which would seem to have any connection to bullet profile.
I really think he got a bad example of a Glock 44. On top of issues he had with the 36 grain ammo, and ONLY 36 grain ammo, he was also having issues with it shooting 3 inches above point of aim, despite having maxed out the adjustment of the rear sight. He really needs to do another video with a different gun rather than writing off the entire platform though. And on a side note, he appears to be sponsored by both Federal and CCi, at least according to his sweatshirt.
How do YouTubers make their money? By getting people to watch their videos.
his favorite ammo, which was a Federal 36 gr ammo. But doesn’t CCI sponsor him?
You seem to follow my posting pretty close. You must like what I post.@GunnyUSMC
Lol you claim to like the M&P better than Glocks, but most of the threads you start are about Glocks, you almost have 400 post in general about Glocks and only 54 post about M&P's (most of which are are in Glock related threads). You only meantion M&P's is while you're viciously defending Glocks and
your being accused of being bias while and not really any other time....
Just come out the closet already and you've become a part of the perfection cult. Nothing wrong with that... Just busting your chops lol and Congrates new plinker! If or when I'm in the market for a new 22, I'm going to have to put one of these at the top of my list.
