Rock Island 1911 MS 22TCM/9MM Combo

Just shot our new pistol in 22tcm/9mm and this thing is a blast to shoot and louder than hades. Commander length bbl with 10 rd single stack magazine. Recoil with 22tcm is not a factor when shooting this round, however noise is on par with a .44mag. 9mm bbl is not much different than the tcm as far as recoil but noise is way less of a factor.
Gun will have to be cleaned fairly often due to unburned powder from tcm rounds. One magazine supplied with gun which works for both calibers with no problems. Ran 50 rds 0f 9mm and 100rds of 22tcm with one failure to eject(may have been due to limp wristing).
Extra magazines from Armscor are $40 so are a little pricey. Found that 38 super mags work just as well in both calibers as that which was factory supplied . That will save me money as I have six 38 super mags I can use as spares. Ammo is $329 per 1,000 in 40gr jhp.
Nice little fun gun to shoot in tcm and should be great for children and recoil sensitive people. Wife wants to order one now for her.
An uplula mag loader is nearly a must have for loading the tcm rounds. Loading ammo without one is a little tough on the fingers.
