No matter what I do, I always tend to get a slight 'front sight wander' with the 44 while aiming...and it shoots a little high (that known issue with the front sight)...I just aim a little lower and still manage to get somewhat decent groupings...Glock is sending me a taller front sight for it...but the other day...

I also took my new 19.3 ODGreen along for the range trip, and after a session with the 44, was surprised to see how rock-solid steady the front sight was on the 19 while aiming...the groups were super tight at the same distance...POI was right there at the top of the front sight, every time.

I have to think it was due to the heavier weight of the 19, there was no jumping around/wandering at all, the sight on the 19 was just dead on and stayed right there all the way through the trigger pull...unlike the 44...which makes me wonder if it was made TOO light for dependable, repeatable accuracy...I think in the quest for ultralightweight guns, we make sacrifices in accuracy and recoil dampening.

You can install a Thug Plug and a Toni Systems rail weight to increase the mass of your G44.

Yeah maybe a rail weight to keep the front sight steady... I'll look into that thank you

Learning and adopting an effective grip went a long way in keeping the muzzle properly aligned when I take the shot. That whole "front sight wondering" thing makes me think you have some grip issues that become clearer when shooting a near-zero perceived recoil gun.

Same thing when I put a PacLite 10" barrel on my Ruger Mark II...so ridiculously light in the top-end I could see the front sight pulsing with my heartbeat.

I have found that a G44 does nothing a TX22, Sig P322, and Ruger MKII can't do better.

EXCEPT...the 44 can tear down (completely) a whole lot easier than anything else... 😁

Yes, it’s light! But it carries very nicely. And yes, the front sight wonders and the rear sight sucks. I replaced my front sight with a FO from Hi Viz and it’s helped out a little.

I do like how it’s able to be broken down and cleaned very easily. That does matter to me since 22lr ammo is dirty.

Not a fan of the adjustable sight, thinking of just putting a 33270 6.1mm fixed rear sight on it.
You're right about the easy disassembly, I don't have the patience to sit there and tap out little bitty roll pins anymore, I want quick and easy, I can completely clean my 44 in about ten minutes, start to finish, and only using the ONE Glock tool. No hammers, no punches, no wood dowel rods, no armorers block.
