Got my G44 last week. Put 400-500 rounds of a blend of mixed crap that ranged from Eley/Federal match to ancient Winchester and it fed most with no problems(only 6-10 malfunctions all attributed to crappy Winchester ammo from the 90s-some of this was just mixed in a ziplock bag from god knows when). Very accurate and giggly fun to shoot. By the end of the session I could shoot out the middle of a 1" square dot at 5 yards without much problem with only a few flyers that were wholly my fault. The malfunctions were actually very welcome as this is my 12 year olds first handgun and he learned to tap rack during this session. I even shot a 90 on a B8 at 25 with it! Definitely worth the $$$$!
As a side note I also found a cherry old 4" S&W pin-barrel Model 17 22LR at a pawn shop for a very good price. I never realized that the perfect combo for plinking is a rimfire revolver and a semi as if the ammo you buy wont run in the semi you have the revolver to fall back on. The S&W is silly accurate by the way. I was shooting the staples off the target at 4-5 yards...god its fun to shoot.
