Default My first Armscor /RIA 1911

The temptation was too great when I did some research on the 22TCM after I saw this Combo at a local shop. It is the single stack tactical 22TCM/9mm combo kit with g-10 grips and the price was only $575.00 with 3 mags and all of the factory paperwork with a blank warranty card. I haven't been able to get out and shoot it yet but I am very anxious to. I also picked up a sweet S&W performance Center 642II, It has been a great week

Had a 22 TCM and gave it to my son. It is fun to shoot with flames shooting out the front. Good luck with both pistols.

You Bet, as soon as the temps drop a little. This morning it was already 103degrees at 7:30 am From every thing I have read indoor ranges won't allow that little fire breathing zipper to be fired indoors.

This may not be much of a range report but here goes. I took it out and tried the 22TCM first and the first round fired resulted in a stuck case in the chamber I got that cleared and I am happy to say the next 49 rounds went through it without a hitch . The noise and muzzle blast of that round is big but it has very little felt recoil or muzzle jump which brought the front sight back in place almost instantly. The other bonus is it is very accurate. I switched over to the 9mm barrel and fired 150 more rounds. I was expexting to have to adjust the sights but surprisingly it shot to the point of aim as the 22 TCM also quite accurately. All 200 rounds were inside of a 8 " target at 15 yards offhand firing rather quickly. The weight of the pistol sure makes it a pleasure to shoot, The was a few times when the slide would not lock open after the mag was empty. I disassembled the mags and made sure the springs were in correctly and did the stretch the spring trick and now all 3 mags lock the slide at least at the workbench. I will find out for sure as I hope to get out again later this week I like this pistol combo

Thanks but be careful how you look up info on the 22TCM because in my case once I saw the specs and performance of the round I had to see for myself and that plus getting 2 barrels for one gun I couldn't resist.
I also shot the 642 the same day and it will be an excellent carry gun because of the smooth and light double action trigger. There was no problem keeping all shots within the target at 15 yards.
