Just stumbled across this. A 1911 in 9mm/.22 TCM. Looks like a .40 S&W necked down to .22. I guess why would be a good question, but damn if it doesn't look like fun!

(Imagine the ammo will be pricey, though.)

22 TCM Standard

Very accurate, hotter than the FN5.7. Shot one a few weeks back. Lotta muzzle-blast but, also a lotta fun! Also comes with a 9mm barrel for $539.00.

Haven't seen the cartridge, but if it is a .40 necked down I bet brass forming is a b*@#%&

more like if it were a 9mm

Hell, you're probably right, Charlie. Since it comes with a 9mm barrel, that would only make sense.

Something I lack at times!

It sure LOOKS like fun, Sarge. And if it's an honest 40 grain bullet at 2000+ fps...ouch!

9mm rim diameter, you can make brass from just about anything, depending on how much trimming you want to do.

You can't make the 22TCM from 9mm. The TCM has the same rim diameter (.378") as a .223 case. The 9mm rim is .394". The 9mm case is also only 19mm long and the TCM case is 26mm long.
