I have come across guns and ammo that are available online finally, none in person which also makes me hesitant. I would still buy a double stack in original .22tcm if I at least knew I could fit a 9mm barrel to the gun if push came to shove. I don't even know if they are truly 1911, or if parts won't interchange since the 22tcm is longer and they had to come out with the tcm9r to fit standard 9mm mags.
The guns Tisa is putting out at under $500 are so nice that I have a hard time wanting to spend $800 on a rock island combo gun that ends up a single stack 9mm the minute things go south. I could buy a press and take up loading, but the cost of entry keeps climbing.
Being around the farm I like the concept of a light fast pistol round that is good for pest control, while still being reasonable for 2 legged threats. The 5.7 being available with vmax bullets makes me like it for varmints, but .22tcm seems to split the gap a little better and I like 1911's as well. I know 22wmr would also fit the bill, but I haven't warmed up to anything I've seen in it yet and also like centerfire better.
The set up seems like a winner, but their manufacturing/marketing seems like they are trying to kill it before it gets off the ground.
