New 1911 in .22 TCM & 9mm

I picked up the Rock Island .22 TCM 1911. It comes with two fully ramped and supported barrels one in 9mm and the other in .22 TCM (Tuason-Craig Magnum) which is a hot little round. Its about 2,200 fps for a 40 grain bullet out of the 5" barrel.

However, the 22 TCM might be cool but I bought it because it is really cool to have a double stack 17+1 capacity SAO 1911 in 9mm. Also, I like RI's new slide profile. Its a flat top slide with a minimum of markings. Overall, a nice looking piece.

Unfortunately it will be a while before I can shoot it, but I'll post a range report when I do.

How's the trigger? Good looking gun!

It is a bushing model and the trigger is decent, not as crisp as my Colts or SIG 1911s but for a $550 1911 it is excellent. I would say that the trigger is on par with my S&W 1911.

Best sure and test it out thoroughly. I had one and it was giving light primer strikes all the time using 9mm. It never had a problem with the 22TCM rounds though. I sent it back to RIA and they had to do some work to it. Just give it a thorough testing and enjoy it.

Thanks for the info

The 22TCM is a fun little round to shoot, just a little on the costly side for a range blaster.

Not nearly as expensive as my 10mm or 460.
