@GJM - any updates on the striker spring? Any issues with any brand of ammo?
What sights are folks running on these?
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
I measured the sights on mine and it looks like the front and rear are exactly the same height. I have a set of trijicon fiber sights that are the same front and rear height. I’m going to try them out. Might be a couple weeks before I have an opportunity too.

Replaced front with 0.205” Dawson fiber and drove on. Works great.
Shot mine today with Federal bulk pack 40 gr. With the exception of 2 failures to load the first round in the magazine, reliability was flawless. It is necessary to load the magazine carefully, but doing so is easy.
My example shot to the top of the front sight at 25 yards, with no sight adjustment needed.
My 13 year old daughter enjoyed shooting the gun as well.
My daughter does not like the noise of larger calibers despite wearing foam ear plugs under electronic ear muffs. This gun will allow me to practice a wider variety of skills while keeping her within her comfort zone when she is with me.

I shot the G44 versus my two Advantage Arms Conversions today. I was able to shoot the AA units quite a bit more precisely. I don’t know if it is the trigger, the sights, or the lack of cleaning on the G44, but the G44 accuracy seems to be worse than it was initially.
Reliability of the AA units was abysmal. To the point where I am going to sell them off I just can’t stand constantly monkeying with them and having to keep them perfectly clean with their precise ammo needs.
The G44 continues to run without complaint. I cleaned the barrel carefully focusing on the crown. Didn’t see anything too bad. Is there anything I should look for with degraded accuracy on this gun?
My G44 seems to be a little more accurate with 40 grain Aguila super extra. I was having trouble making clean trigger presses but my 73 year old dad was making regular hits on 8” steel at 50 yards with it. That’s with stock plastic Glock sights. It was pretty impressive.

I replaced just the front sight with a plain black defoor front from Ameriglo, left the rear factory one on it and Sharpie’d the goal post away. Runs near flawlessly on the Aguila plated HV stuff. Over 5k through it at this point. So I laid in a supply of another 20k to keep it happy.
Added a factory minus connector and an agency (I think) polymer flat trigger.
These MTM Case-Gard ACR12 Ammo Crate Utility Box - Dark Earth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C58YH4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i6x8EbPQJEBXFMTM ammo crates hold 16k. Was half way through filling it when I snapped the pic.
What's the story on threaded barrels? I read where a guy said the first run of barrels were recalled and the new version should be out by end of June. Now I can't find any mention of it and Brownells, Midway USA and a few others have some in stock but I'm wondering if they are old stock or if there ever was a problem and recall to begin with.
I was gonna wait till they offered a complete gun with a threaded barrel and just pick up another one but I'm ready to just buy a barrel if they are GTG.
As for a range report, I continue to enjoy my G44 even shooting a few SC matches with it but I lost round count around 1500 and just continue to shoot it every Saturday morning.
