Default MS TCM/9mm Doublestack 51943...Should I?

Aside from AutoMag's personalized one, I've never seen anyone with one of these. I have a chance to get one from a distributor who just got in a small batch of these. But they are quite a bit more expensive than a typical RIA. Bud's last price on this model was $739 i think.

I don't really have the funds to invest in one more gun, but if I knew there was a demand for this model I'd go ahead and order one. I've got some tables at a local gun show next month. I'm just concerned about the price. Are people really going to pay say $725-$735 for a Rock Island?

I'd like to buy it for myself, but have other obligations right now.

That's what I was afraid most people would think. $735 for a Rock Island i think might put people off and $20/box for the TCM ammo might be just as bad.

That is not a bad price on that Model. You have to stop and remember though that you are actually getting 2 guns for that price, the TCM22 and a 9MM. The gun will definitely sell as we cannot keep them in stock. Just as soon as a batch hits our warehouse they are shipped out to distributors that have dealers already waiting on them.

The TCM is a very nice round, quite a few friends in the law enforcement field are carrying them now and SWAT Teams are asking to demo the gun.

Here is my TCM 22 5" "demo gun" that I will be showing to the local SWAT and SEAL Teams here.


And here is my custom carry TCM 22.

, we call our 4.25" guns Mid Size (MS) since the Colt followers get bent out of shape when you call a 4" or 4.25" gun a Commander as Colt I believes owns the trademark for it.

Yup, I believe that goes back to a lawsuit that resulted in Springfield calling their 4.25 barrel 1911....Champion
