I have this 22tcm/9mm pistol as well. I also bought a .38 super comp barrel and with minimal fitting got that to work as well. Actually, it seems to work even better than the 9mm or 22tcm barrels. Just use the 9mm spring and you are good to go! Love this pistol!!

[@davidkendall4808]

Forgot to add that you can also fire the 22tcm9r ammo through this gun as well!

For 40 years I carried a Colt 45acp 1911. Earlier this year I bought a RIA 1911 A-1, 22TCM/9R, and I love it. In the 1990’s I bought my son-in-law a RIA 45acp 1911, which he liked, but I wouldn’t have bought it for myself due to the fit and finish. 2020, pistols are a different animal. The fit and finish is second to none, plus RIA (ARMSCOR) put a new logo on the pistol which isn’t the huge billboard that was on previous models. My local gun shop carries plenty of ARMSCOR ammo and at a great price. 100 rounds of TCM ammo for $29.00.

Well after coming out from under my rock this past weekend I met with the guys from Rock Island at the NRA convention in Nashville and was informed of the 22 TCM for the first time (I know I'm late, I said I was under a rock). After hearing about the performance of the round and the fact that it came with a 9mm barrell as well all for around a $600 price mark. I was sold. Most of the information given came not from a Rock Island rep but from an enthusiast in the crowd that was passing by. Awesome firearm!

I tried one of these today. LOVED it!!! very accurate, ZERO failures and lots of fun!!!

Rock island arms keeping you affordably armed with quality firearms and accessories

[@neanderthor66]

I was very impressed by this review. That seems like a really cool option, with dual calibers. The ammo on the .22 TCM is reasonably priced, and the fact that Armscor reloads the ammo for a reduced price... and it's a reasonably priced 1911 (although not .45, oh well). This just showed up on my wish list.

[@troy9er]

I’ve always been a 1911 fanboy. Mine are all 45 APC. Never shot one in 9mm but have always wanted to. I think it his will be my next handgun purchase. 2 calibers in 1 gun, what a great deal!! Love the fireball from the 22 TCM and 2000+ FPC, WOW what more can you ask for??!! Thanks for the review.

[@jimskelton1355]

I have the tactical version, light rail, fiber optic sights, fantastic grips, 10 round mags (comes with 2 mags and a load assist), and LOVE this pistol! All you said and more is true. A 9mm PLUS the 22TCM in a high quality 1911 format for about $650. Are you KIDDING me? Best value in the market! Two things to add:The reloading of spent brass program was discontinued some time ago. I'm just guessing but I think they offered that as an inducement to try the round and get it out into the market. But they don't do it anymore, so don't expect to get that deal. But it is correct that a box of 50 rounds can be had now in the $18 - $20 range, all you want.Second, if you get the pistol and like the 22TCM, they also make a wonderful bolt action rifle chambered for it. Beautiful rifle, well checkered, Schnabel front end, 5 round box mag, hardwood stock. MSRP is only $460 and it can be bought around $375 or so. The Gallery of Guns item number is 51108 - but good luck finding one. A scare rifle, bought as soon as they appear. But if you have both, go to the range with the pistol and the rifle in tow, have a great day shooting all sorts of targets. Your face will hurt from all the grinning you'll do. Other shooters will appear from nowhere to see what is causing all that sound and fury and muzzle blast ring. And maybe best of all, your hand and shoulder won't be sore at all.Think about it - own a quality 1911 - 2 of them, really - and a beautiful bolt action rifle, all for $1,000. How you gonna beat that?

Thank you for the review. Earlier today I asked Mrgunsngear about a review of this handgun and he pointed me your way. It answered all of the questions I had about the weapon itself, the TCM cartridge, and how RIA worked the 9mm into the package. Subscribed.

My RI 1911 A1 has been an amazing pistol. It has around 15,000 round through it and it's running better than ever. Add a Pachmyer grip, and your set for less than $450. Can't beat it.

[@easbreid9879]

I'm primarily a glock guy but to be honest this thing has grabbed my attention since the first time I saw it

[@rickbourne1376]

Wow, the 9mm conversion is a huge selling point. Your group was amazing, and the performance sounds most impressive. I wouldn't buy a 1911 45 ACP, but I would consider this.

[@bigsean2473]

yup .45 is just a lil anemic imo. if i got a 45 i would only use underwood +p ammo. i also like there 10mm in this gun with 16+1 rounds

[@MyK6Gixxer]

Great video but just wanted to add my $.02! The combo 22TCM/9mm comes with a 7lb/12lb spring along with both barrels and an additional extractor. The extractor needs to be changed when swapping over to 9mm. I have talked to several reliable sources and all have informed me that ARMSCOR/Rock island will be discontinuing the 22 TCM/9mm combo due to many issues of people not swapping/forgetting to change springs, etc.... They will continue to make the 22 TCM but are going to stop the combo A2's stateside, so scoop one up if you run across one. I bought 2 and absolutely love them! Been a lot of fun load developing and if anyone has heard different please chime in! Stay safe and happy shooting!

[@copkhan007]

$800 For a .22 Pistol??? Well, some people have extra money to throw away. I paid $250 for a Tokarev TT 7.62x25. Hot Round and super reliable with stopping power. ⭐️⭐️

[@thegreenman2030]

Great info on this 1911. I have been looking at a few dealers that carry this in my area and some of the user reviews state that you have to also change the extractor when you convert the barrel and spring to 9mm. Some say this is correct and others stated theirs only came with 1 extractor marked 22TCM and it works for both calibers. All said the pistol and caliber kicks ass.

[@gilbertmiller2491]

yes, this pistol comes with 2 extractors 1 for 22 TCM and 1 form 9 mm but you can use either on both calibers. When my 22 extractor broke (under 100 rounds) I used the 9 mm extractor. Everything I stated in my comment happened to me at the first range day. I wish this pistol had better quality control because I lover the 22 TCM round.

[@unixfool]

New examples come with only one extractor.

[@AKJeeper]

I've been pretty impressed with Rock Island Armory products. I bought my first RIA a couple years ago - it is their .45acp 1911 "tactical" model. Was very impressed with how tightly all the parts fit and even more impressed with how accurate it was. It definitely gives my Kimber 1911 a run for its money for accuracy. I sent my RIA 1911 to Nevada and had their gunsmith Arnel install Trijicon sights, as well as give my gun a match grade trigger job. I've had 100% reliability with my RIA 1911.

[@boblochmiller8664]

I bought a new 9mm-22TCM blued and loved shooting the 22TCM for $25 per 50 rounds in Tennessee. But it jammed every full magazine even after 200 rounds. Seller said it was a common problem and sold me two new Wilson Combat mags for $50 each. They worked perfectly but I was so aggravated with the factory Rock Island single stack mags I immediately traded off that gun.

[@boblochmiller8664]

I mean Rock Island on the factory mags.

Interesting. My wife and I just came across this caliber the other day when looking for 22 mag and wondered what gun it was for. Thanks for the great review on it.

[@mamllc]

The TCM round was derived from a .223 not 9mm. Fred Craig (the C in TCM) worked with Armscor to develop the round and the story of its development can be found at his Atomitronix website.

The 22 TCM almost has as much energy at the muzzle as a 124gr 9mm. And they do make a rifle now too.

[@jonathanwilson1539]

Would you recommend this round to a first time gun owner?

[@BAdventures]

@@jonathanwilson1539 I used the 1911 22TCM and it's fun. Low recoil but you get fireballs out of a pistol. I wouldn't recommend to a first timer.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

Actually a .22TCM is a necked down .223/5.56x45. If you hold a .22TCM and a 9mm together the .22TCM case is longer. This is for the reloaders out there.

[@CPHannigan]

Not true. The .22 TCM uses a different rim and extractor groove on the case. It has its own case with no true parent case.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

True but It's more similar to a .223/5.56.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

I have made .22TCMs out of .223/5.56 and they work great.

Follow up to my previous comment. Ivan at armscor listened to my problems with the 22tcm and took charge of it. He went above and beyond anything I could expect. He made is making it right. If he follows through as well as he has been so far I would recommend this company to anyone.

the closeup at "smile and wait for the flash" is incredible!!!!

[@craigsellier5973]

Not a necked down 9mm it's parent case is a 223 case. Simular to the 9mm but different. I've owned one for a few year's that combination 9mm/22tcm and people wouldn't believe how powerful this 22tcm round is. Shoots a foot round fireball out almost every shot. It out performs my FN 5.7x28 it will drill through 1/4" steel like hot butter. It'll drill the smoothest 1/4" hole you have ever seen. I'm telling you it's super bad but I purchased the Rock Island rifle also and it gets a couple of hundred fps faster than the short barreled pistol. They surely pair off well and will drop wild hogs in their tracks along with deer. It's all about the bullet placement. Buy yourself a pair and you won't be disappointed. I surely love mine.

[@craigsellier5973]

One other thing, the 5 shot bolt action rifle will accept the 17 round pistol magazine and with both the pistol and rifle using the same ammo is awesome especially being able to use the pistol magazine in the rifle is some nice 👌.

[@QuestoDomini]

What an awesome 9mm/22TCM combination, ...on a 1911 platform yet! Just outstanding!

[@PreparednessToday]

Great vid Sootch. I have to say that even though the .22 TCM round is entertaining and looking at the velocity - wow is the best word that comes to mind. However, the most impressive aspect of this 1911 is that it comes with a 9mm barrel. I know that a lot of companies are making 9mm for the 1911, however, they usually charge an arm and a leg. Needless to say, I would end up switching the barrel out and not looking back. Great vid and thanks for the info - I'll keep my eyes out for one!

[@shiznittybigbang]

Don't let that scare you. The extractor is easy to remove. Remove the firing pin stop. Gently tap out the extractor and tap in the other one. I found that my 22 TCM extractor worked great for 9mm so I leave it in.

Picked up my RIA 22TCM yesterday. Didn't have any 22TCM ammo so figured I'd put the 9MM barrel in and shoot that. It was a breeze switching out the barrel and spring...BUT......then I read in the literature that came with the pistol: " WHEN INSTALLING THE 9MM CONVERSION, YOU MAY HAVE TO HAVE A QUALIFIED PERSON TO INTALL THE 9MM EXTRACTOR, AS IT REQUIRES SOME SPECIALIZED TECHNIQUE TO REMOVE THE TCM EXTRACTOR, AND TO SET THE TENSION OF THE 9MM EXTRACTOR IN YOUR SLIDE."

[@3333glen]

A guy at the range had one and I put a few rounds thru it. I liked it! Not only more more flash, but more muzzle blast. But, it seems that what we have is .22 WMR caliber, bullet, and velocity (thus .22 mag power) in a pistol. Nice, but not unusual. I think that comes out to about 200 ft.lbs muzzle energy, so like a .380 or soft .38 special. I wonder whether Tnoutdoors9 has done a ballistic gel test. Might be a good SD round. Oh, and he later explains that it needs its own brass, and not exactly a necked down 9 mm.

you CANNOT use stock Para mags with this gun. It is the same mag but the feed lips have been modified. Because of the longer overall length of the TCM the feed lips have been cut back to allow an earlier release of the cartridge.

The company who made this round says it equals and maybe surpass the 5.7 . lol

[@jamiesloan5902]

Rey DeCastro It's better than the 5.7.

22TCM is more powerful. Parent case is 223 rem, good for reloading. 22TCM 9R Improved, forming 223 cases (5.56x24mm) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4rZdKl-gqeDY7c 22TCM vs 5.7x28 vs 7.62x25 comparison kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH2mpISherFsm7M

[@microminiskirt]

yES Yes! I was just about to say that. 9mm is plentiful.

Best video ever on the Rock Island I am going to see if my local gun shop has them

[@EverythingisFire]

Wow! What a crazy round I've never heard of.

[@WeDareToPrepare]

Actually the term 2011 was coined to refer to the wide-bodied 1911 styled pistols. I had one of the first ones out there by Chip McCormick if I recall correctly. They are also made or have been made by STI and SVI over the past number of years. Also, Para-Ordnance has their own proprietary version which is the P series. I have a P-14 .45 which is a great gun in a classic caliber with a lot of rounds for a .45 ACP pistol. I hope that helps.

[@lelandwebber3745]

I have the Commander sized TCM. Nice gun, but a 9 MM barrel doesn't come with this shorter gun. It is fun to shoot, I have four 1911's in 45 ACP and one in 38 Super.

Hope this helps. 22TCM 9R Improved, forming 223 cases (5.56x24mm) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4rZdKl-gqeDY7c

[@nelsonbutcher1]

this caliber is gonna be the 5.7x28 killer. no doubt.

[@BAdventures]

It is. But RIA Armscor need to support it better. 22TCM 9R Improved, forming 223 cases (5.56x24mm) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4rZdKl-gqeDY7c 22TCM vs 5.7x28 vs 7.62x25 comparison kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH2mpISherFsm7M

I really like it Schooch!! They have also came out with a double stack in 45APC that holds 10rounds. It is super small, 3.1 inch barrel. I wish they would come out with that gun in the 9mm/TCM22 combo. Super low recoil, it won’t have that 2100 FPS but it also won’t have the heavy recoil of the 45 APC. It would be a sweet combo!!!!

[@Lvl22nerd]

im actually more interested in the fact that it comes with the 9mm barrel...a double stack 1911 in 9mm? YES!

[@Freko1970]

Ive seen the numbers on that 22 TCM...almost a pocket AR...that round in a submachinegun would be the bees knees....

[@BAdventures]

Yes exactly! The AR Guy Custom Solutions makes 22TCM 16" carbine AR. 22TCM 9R Improved, forming 223 cases (5.56x24mm) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4rZdKl-gqeDY7c

[@BulletShogun]

i would love to have a single stack version. i also think if they sold conversion kits that would be good

[@joehaney5186]

They now do for glock

[@thereality6943]

Incredible!!! Truly it is.

[@jack91x]

Yeah. Ever see an M203 or an M320? Those are 40mm, and they can be fired one handed quite easily. You can by a 37mm from Spike's Tactical for a pretty reasonable price. Register it as a DD and you get what is effectively a 1.5 gauge shotgun, flare launcher, multishot .22 (beehive), smoke grenade launcher, fireworks launcher, etc. All for the low-low price of $600 after NFA tax stamp.

[@nakazatoGTR]

On my Christmas Bonus, imma buy one myself, at Armscor's home country.

[@axessdenyd]

Looks kind of neat. A fun gun in 22TCM, then 9mm for carry. I don't understand the fascination with trying to use an overpriced .22 magnum like a 22TCM or a 5.7 for serious purposes, though..

[@RichardAmmo1]

Thank you Sir, for reviewing this pistol! I never would have heard of it if it weren't for you. Now I want one: That price point for the gun and ammo is affordable. Thanks again; very good video!

[@mathewpeek3118]

Actually the tcm is a necked down 223. Check out the website. But great videos man.

[@BAdventures]

Yes parent case is 223 rem. 22TCM 9R Improved, forming 223 cases (5.56x24mm) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4rZdKl-gqeDY7c

[@jntroisi]

Wow! I'd never even heard if this round. I really hope it takes off! Seems like it would be a great outdoorsman round.

[@AccessDenied66]

Excellent review!

[@RussiaDbest]

you should make a video " if you can " of the best 1911 under 1000 bucks by the way great video thanks for posting
