This looks like an interesting pistol.

I laughed at this whole concept until I fired my first Five seveN. I’m not laughing anymore. BTT.

Arrgh. Just another one I want but can’t have.

Looks cool, I’d love to shoot it.

Very interesting.

This is a 1911 platform I think I could get into.

Rock Island might have a lot of firepower, but they got a crappy commissary.

The Rock Island Armory 1911 A2 MM (Mini Magnum) is a “duel use” firearm right out of the box.

I thought duels were illegal now ;-)

I shot a friend's .22 MAG semi-auto pistol with 30 round magazines recently (can't rember the mfg). Nice gun. According to him it had similar ballistics to a .38 special. I thought that claim was a little on the heavy hitting side considering the lack of recoil.

This looks interesting. I'd like to hear from a FReeper that shoots one.

I live in Pahrump where this pistol is built, got to shoot it a few times at a range when they were out there testing it. Its an amazing gun, hardly any recoil but MAN oh man its loud.

Cant wait to buy myself one once I can convince the gun shop I work at to carry it :)

Judging from the pics, I'd say that even if you miss at close quarters, the muzzle flash should be enough to catch the adversary's clothes on fire.

Got one of these myself. It's a hot little round but with very limited recoil (like a 22 magnum). And yes there is a fireball at the end of your 1911. Workmanship on the RIA 1911A2 frame is decent but nothing spectacular. Mine has a magazine release spring that is tends to lock up so that the next mag change wont go fully into battery, but I am working on it.

The TCM22 round is actually slightly longer than a 9mm so you wont see Glocks and other platforms picking this up unless they can slot 38 Super with a barrel change. (STI, Para-Ordnance, SVI, etc ...). I am still waiting for other aftermarket barrels for 1911 double stack platforms.
