Can you use the 45ACP slide on 22 TCM/9mm frame?

That way, you can shoot 45ACP, 9mm and 22 TCM on the same frame :D

Also, can you make the 22 TCM cases out of 9mm?
 
Looks like 22 TCM cases are formed from .223 cases, not 9mm cases. Since I reload .223, I have plenty of cases to use.

Interesting cartridge though.
 
Haven't seen one in person yet, but I expect I will soon. The fact that it doubles as a 9mm will probably help its sales, and might even spur me to buy one... I wouldn't mind a hi-cap 1911 and if .22TCM dies out at least the gun isn't useless to me.

And we finally have a hi-velocity small caliber pistol that isn't ugly like the Five Seven, I wonder how the ballistics compare.

Looks like the 22TCM edges out the FN 5.7. Would be interested in seeing some side-by-side ballistics testing for sure.

28/31 gr FN 5.7×28mm - 2,350 fps

40 gr Armscor .22TCM - 2,100 fps

And that is also before other ammo makers have a chance to toy with .22TCM to see what it's capable of, so we'll just have to wait and see.
 
.22 tcm

According to RIA's CEO, a Commander version of the .22 TCM is in development and on the way. It will be my next CCW!
 
Is RIA letting other people play with it too or are they treating it as proprietary?
