Glock questions about the G19 and G44

[glennvaughnjr2]

I know a G19 frame is the same as a G44 dimensionally and the G44 slide weighs less than the 9mm but
what parts are different? I mean the recoil spring and barrel but besides that what would be different.
I'm also curious about a 3d printed slide, if it was used for 22lr as opposed to 9mm.
My end goal is to convert a g19 gen3 to a g44..or try at least.
Thank you for your help.

I think a better question is what parts are interchangeable.

From experience (when I was bored) swapping G19 MOS Gen 5 parts into a G44 and shooting .22lr, ,these are swappable:

• Frame
• Trigger assembly & parts EXCEPT ejector (G performance trigger functions fine)
• Magazine catch & spring
• Slide release
• Trigger pin & trigger assembly pin
• slide lock
• Back straps
• plastic sights

Specifically not interchangeable from a "fit" perspective:

• barrel
• rear slide plate
• Strike safety plunger

Everything else are non interchangeable parts for "function" reasons including the striker assembly, extractor, & magazines. Safety & warranty are another issue. I don"t know about Gen 3 to Gen 5 parts compatibility.

Just buy both. It's nice to have a dedicated 22lr. And the fact that it's a Gen3 and the G44 is Gen5 parts I don't know the compatibility. Maybe they sell a .22lr slide and you can just change it out but IMO nice to have both.

G44s are around $400, the cheapest Glock out there. Save yourself the hassle and just buy one

Genuine Glock parts for a genuine Glock pistol with no aftermarket funny business

I'd like to have the option of shooting 22s with my daily carry is all. It's nice to have choices.
