Do you think.....

Yea, that’s what Glock is saying since the G44 is same dimension as the G19. An XD or XDm would be real good as a training gun, but cheaper to shoot, hence more training time.

I've seen a .22plinkster review on the Glock 44 and in that review gun he had was having cycling problems when using a certain grain ammo. It may have been that particular firearm had an issue.

There's the Taurus also. Plus it has a 15 rd mag.

Hopefully SA could do it with a mag over 10 like most .22 pistols are.

The Taurus tx22 has a really great reputation and come with a threaded barrel adapter standard. I will probably pickup one myself soon.
 
G-44 for training? Not really. Use it for the first time ever shooter to over come the initial bang terror sure.
But for training I would never. Train with what you carry. Shoot what you carry. Substitution of a 22 for a 9,40,10,45 is ridiculous IMHO. You need to experience the same noise and recoil in training as you will in a life or death situation.
This is all again IMHO as I'm no expert.

Yea, I have read that also, my guess it’s the ammo, some .22’s can be finicky on some ammo, in this months Gun Digest, they have a similar story that the writer said the Glock seemed like it had squib loads and he actually disassembled it to make sure there was no barrel obstruction.

Yeah I try to stay away from guns that are ammo picky. I never buy a new model gun until it's been on the market a couple months so I can get the feedback from actual users before dropping my cash.
 
I think a .22LR would be great and would make a great trainer and first shooter gun. I know people don't think so but if you think of muscle memory and do a lot of dry fire training then it really makes sense. Any time I am out shooting my .22 I try to complete my range time shooting a regular round so that I finish off my training with what I carry.

I've never owned a Taurus but only read about them myself. I hear their 1911s are decent for being entry level.

I had one of there early stainless 1911’s in 9mm, that’s the only Taurus I never had any issues with, it worked and shot flawlessly, one of the deputy sheriffs bugged and bugged me for it, so I sold it to him. It was mostly the Taurus revolvers I had issues with.
