This is kind of a two part question.
I've bounced around in my head what my next handguns purchases will be and one that I keep coming back to is a steel frame 9mm to see how much lower the recoil can be with them compared to a polymer pistol. Been focusing on the Taurus PT-92 because of its price and quality, but lately the .22 TCM and 9mm combo 1911's that Rock Island make are coming to mind.
I've had a passive interest in .22 TCM given its ability to shoot a 40 grain bullet over 2000 fps, but the 9mm in a steel frame 1911 would be fun to shoot too.
Do you guys think .22 TCM has any merits that make it worth owning? What benefits do you think it offers vs other semi auto handgun calibers and do they outweigh the cons of .22 TCM?
Also, between a 1911 9mm with 17 rd capacity and a Taurus PT92, which would be a better shooter in regards to speed of shooting and lower recoil?
EDIT: For the record the 1911 would be a doublestack, not the usual single stack.
