Just bought a RIA 22 TCM/9mm from Ferrara Firearms

Just got the Rock Island Armory 22 TCM/9mm combo and am going to wring it out this weekend.
Looks like its going to be a blast to shoot and I have the reloading dies/bullets/cases coming for it also.
I'm thinking I can load it down to 1500fps and still outperform the 22 magnum in a handgun and use it for small game in a survival situation and not lose the brass in the forest leaves and load it to full potential and it will outperform the 22 magnum in the rifle for larger varmints and even headshots on hogs.
The gun is well made and tight and holds 18rds of 22 TCM.
Anybody else have one?

Tag- I'm interested in a Glock 20/21 conversion in this caliber.

If it's anything like my 1st gen RIA 1911 GI, you are going to love it. My GI will cycle empty .45 brass from cheap Pro-Mag magazines. It never fails to feed.

Accuracy is no issue either.

I've looked hard at .22 TCM. You can swap barrels and shoot 9mm, and .38 super is doable as well.

Love my RIA and a great article in this months American Rifleman about this companys history and they are building plants for Ammo and firearms in the USA. Another reason to support them!

You can order ammo, bullets, brass, and reloading dies directly from ammosupplywarehouse.com
Dies are expensive but only Lee and Hornady make them they are even more expensive ordering direct from them.
The pistol is extremely well fitted and tight with either barrel fitted. No play at all.
It seems to be tighter fitted than the Ruger SR1911 I had.

The RIA .22TCM is on the cover of the current July/August AMERICAN HANDGUNNER. The photo-laden feature article has about 6 full pages of pure eye candy. I think I feel a fever coming on.

I have been very curious about one of these. I will be interested in your results.

I just looked American Hand gunner online and you can read the article for free with a link in it for the initial article in 2012.

2000 fps with minimum amount of recoil. I love mine.
The para p-18 mags work for the .22 tcm round
Now if someone comes out with a 6" ported barrel. I'd really smile

The pistol is extremely well fitted
