With regard to any other brand, I would agree with you. However, this is Kel-Tec. They have a well earned reputation and it is a reputation I have experienced myself. I suspect that very few in the know were surprised by what occurred in that video.

I think the issue is that at that "few extra bucks" pricepoint you're getting into the same pricing as the Ruger Mk series, S&W Victory, and Browning Buckmark - all of which I'd rate as better guns than the Glock 44. Glock 44 is more in the realm of the Ruger SR22, M&P .22LR, Taurus TX-22, etc I'm not paying $300+ for a gun with a mostly polymer slide.

No "bellyaching" here. I just wish that Glock that chosen to get very aggressive with its pricing to build market share for their G44. Then again, had they priced it at $199.95 (where they would likely still make money), the self-described "experts" would be quick to judge it as a "cheap piece of garbage", no matter how good it might actually be.
The $359.00 is a discounted price. Very close to the Ruger SR22 -- which will likely be Glock's biggest competitor, which has been out for some time and currently discounts for $360 or so. So yes, I expect the price to remain fairly steady, unless all heck breaks loose in the market, which I am hoping for.
We'll just have to see...
Yeah, I'm note sure just where the high cap-fetish comes from? I shoot Rimfire Challenge -- action shooting and we're allowed 11 rounds maximum -- 10 in mag and 1 "barneyed" in the chamber.
Glock wouldn't be releasing it, were it not top notch in terms of reliability and accuracy. They certainly took plenty of time. It sounds like the design/materials of the slide was their breakthrough.

Glock fan here but I started out with 1911.Glock dropped the ball big time...a G19 sized gun (read grip frame) ...WTH were they thinking
I do believe they will sell quite a bit even at G19 size.
But at greater than $250 price point, it will be hard to compete with full size GSG 1911 22LR which is same as Sig 1911 22LR for around $200 - $250 - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...endence-from-work.853305/page-3#post-11212458

What I want to know is does it fit in a Glock 19 holster ? That will be the big selling point to me if it fits in a Glock model holster I all ready have.

Everything I have read says it does indeed fit in the G19 holster. It will be interesting to see how well it does fit since somewhere I saw someone showing that the slide was slightly narrower on the G44.
