 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in today. We're exploring the question Did everybody forget about the 22 TCM? All the attention has been on the 5.7 by 28 millimeter because other Companies have been making firearms chambered in this round, but then there's the 22 TCM It's it's made by arms court from everything that I've seen no other ammo company is developing it But arms court makes a ton of it and it cost on the average about 20 rounds for a box of 50 now This is a jack-in-it-howl point both bottleneck down rounds both 40 grain bullets we if you look at them side-by-side You can see that the 5.7 by 28 millimeter right here is a little bit taller a little bit more or a little bit thinner case I should say But both extremely fast rounds now the 22 TCM travels at approximately 2100 feet per second and that is Pretty darn fast. I've done some range tests with it already and I've shown that it could take a regular patio stone or a cinder block and turn it into a Sand like just completely destroy it as we're a 22 long rifle just put chips out of it But what I have here is a Rock Island 1911. It's a TCM model and Rock Island is the main developer of the 22 TCM you do see some glocks With conversion barrels for 22 TCM, but here's what we're looking at This is a single stack many of their 1911 offerings now are double stack so I'm not even sure if this is developed now when I got this it was a Combination package that also offered a barrel for nine millimeter as well as a recoil spring They do share the same magazines although the 22 TCM is a little bit Thinner the case is a little bit thinner. It was explained to me that it's actually a Bottle neck case that mimics the 223, but nonetheless We're gonna shoot this thing. You don't mind. Do you? Didn't think so I had this well, let me shoot these out talk about my original intentions Let's start over on the left There we go It's a fast round. It's a fun round. It's a loud round And it has very low recoil. I'm gonna demonstrate that In a little bit The one thing that I've noticed is that these mags are not dropping free And I can't remember if it's always been that way. I got this in 2017 and Haven't shot a lot with it, but I certainly do enjoy the round I have never not enjoyed the round but my original intention was to do a comparison with the 22 TCM and The 5.7 by 28 millimeter. We had a problem with the chronograph I was hanging out with trees are blown where we had the chronograph all set up And it wasn't reading properly. So that video is on hold. I know other people have done videos of that nature Mine are not very scientific. I'll tell you that right now trying to get a little more scientific by using a chronograph as well as a couple other things but big muzzle flash Very loud very fast round and it takes a center block and turns it into sand But with my last review a lot of people liked it when I did this. I just turned it around Let me raise the camera a little bit and This way you can see the recoil As I fire it. So let's do that. I've got the thunk safety engaged All right, 22 TCM approximately 12 13 yards away Oh little bottleneck there. Let's see if I can Remove that Is it jumping around doesn't feel that way. I'm Transitioning and that's it So my plans are to do more with 22 TCM. I think it's a great round. I think that You know with the with the Glock conversion and some of the rifles that are being made. I know Rock Island makes a Map part of their map series that takes easy mags that has the 22 TCM 9R now the 9R is just a it's a 39 grain bullet instead of a 40 grain bullet But it's just a little just a little bit shorter So it fits in those CZ mags that you could use it in the map series and with some of the other mags that are Primarily set for 9 millimeter of these mags You know, it's not gonna make that much of a difference, but this will shoot the 9R It's just that the other ones won't shoot the 40 grain 22 TCM TCM ammo because it's just a little bit Longer and it sticks in the mag itself and it just doesn't feed as smoothly But here it is Rock Island. It's a tax series 22 TCM. It's a great round I'm going to do some comparisons with the 5.7 by 28 millimeter And I think that's something that may be pretty cool We're gonna still try to get that chronograph to test the velocity if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
