I wonder if this is a materials issue or manufacturing issue. Are all G44's made in the US currently or is production split between US & Germany?

It wouldn't be much of a stretch for aftermarket slide makers jump in and offer an aluminum alloy replacement slide for these G44's.You know theres some really nice top end full metal conversions for Glocks. Advantage Arms, Tac Sol etc. Why anyone would buy one of those hybrid abortions is beyond me.

It was tested with pristine Euro Ammo made in Tyrolia by guys with Man Buns.Doesn't look like the R&D team did much R.... OR D. WTF?
Glock is going to have to hire a bunch of those parade pooper-scooper guys to get them out of this.
But Glock will probly charge you for it! Sig didnt make any mistakes it was a voluntery upgrade remeber look at my avatar lolI have never really understood the hate or the fanboy status for glocks. They are a manufacturer of firearms with a great track record with some warts and hiccups along the way. They are not unlike many other companies that make firearms, cough cough sig. I would bet money if this is a widespread problem they will stand behind these guns and come out with a retro-fit slide. Maybe outta metal this time
....so is there a claim that 'someone' is mistakenly overloading the 22LR for them G44s???
It looks to me like they didn't plan for an OOB discharge with the extractor pivoting in polymer and polymer that close to the blast zone.Just speculation: designers may have chosen a "less catestrophic" destruction sequence???
geez, I feel so left out.....According to rimfire guys that have chimed in, OOB discharge is not uncommon with rimfires.
Stronger, conventional designs shrug it off and drive on.
