About the Gun

Armscor's TCM series of pistols are functionally a 1911 series-70 pistol design but chambered for their unique .22 TCM cartridge. Since the .22 TCM is essentially a stepped-down 9mm cartridge, the gun can fire 9mm rounds from the same magazine by simply replacing the barrel and recoil spring. Armscor ships both .22 TCM and 9mm barrels and springs with each TCM pistol. The TCM series includes both single-stack 10-round models and double-stack 17-round models.

Analysis

This .22 TCM caliber pistol offers notable precision, thanks to its well-balanced design and consistent barrel performance, making it a reliable choice for target shooting. The ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, ensuring comfort during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it cycles smoothly with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds, which aids in maintaining accuracy. Felt recoil is mild, even with the unique cartridge, allowing for quick follow-up shots. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular cleaning to prevent buildup due to the high-velocity round. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts or accessories may pose challenges, as availability is limited. This firearm suits shooters seeking a specialized target option, though it may not be ideal for those prioritizing ease of upkeep or widespread support.
