.22 TCM Cartridge (New 1911 from Armscor)

[Raoul Duke]

The rifle fps is higher, but only seen in bolt or break open.

Who is making a break open rifle chambered for this round?

I like how the RIA bolty accepts the 17 round doublestack 22 TCM/9MM magazines, I just wish they offered a factory compact/carbine length model equipped with iron sights and swivel studs.

The different POI of different calibers notwithstanding, it'd be really cool if RIA could design a rifle like the one I described above in a takedown combo caliber(.22 TCM/9MM) configuration(where switching out calibers were as easy as taking down a 10/22 takedown model) like they have done with their 1911 platform .22TCM/9MM combo pistol.

Come to think of it, I'd really like to see RIA chamber a .22 TCM caliber model of their M200 revolver, too.

I'd read that the MVs were more in the mid - upper 1800's FPS, but it's a neat concept and with the availability of .223 brass, Lee and Hornady forming dies and .22 Cal bullets for mid velocity rifles, it would really be a blast to shoot... A TC Contender barrel would be fun as well.

It does seem that from an economic standpoint, reloading certainly works in the favor of this cartridge, but as for the price and availability of off the shelf factory ammo, not so much.

I guess when you consider how outrageously expensive and unavailable .22 WMR continues to be, the .22 TCM factory ammo starts to seem like a pretty good value by comparison, all things considered.

God help us all if this is the new standard for valuing ammo prices and availability.

There's a .22 TCM/9MM in the classifieds. (No, it's not mine.)

I think I'm gonna have to hold out for one of these, if I can find one:

There's a little gun shop in Bixby that has 3 or 4 left in stock.

What about the bolt action rifle?

If I'm gonna get in for a pretty(I'd guess) penny, might as well get in for a pound.

I'm thinkin' MechTech needs to make a .22 TCM CCU that fits the 1911-A2 MS Tactical Combo model #51943(the one I want) lower frame.

Looks like there may be more .22 TCM chambered offerings on the horizon in 2015:
