Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .22 TCM Ammo for Sale
What is a 22 TCM good for?
.22 TCM excels at small game hunting and varmint control. Its 40-grain bullet travels roughly twice as fast as a .22 Long Rifle, making it effective on groundhogs, coyotes, and similar targets. Rock Island Armory chambers it in both pistols and rifles for hunters wanting higher velocity in a compact package.
Is 22 TCM discontinued?
.22 TCM remains in production and Armscor still manufactures the ammunition, but Rock Island Armory has discontinued their 22 TCM combo pistols and the TCM Standard MS is listed as a discontinued firearm on their site. Conversion kits have been offered but are currently out of stock. Ammunition can be harder to source than mainstream calibers.
What is the 22 TCM equivalent to?
.22 TCM is most directly comparable to the 5.7x28mm—both are hot 22-caliber centerfire pistol rounds. The .22 TCM uses a heavier bullet and delivers more energy, while the 5.7x28mm is faster with a lighter bullet. Notably, .22 TCM shares 9mm dimensions, allowing easy conversion with just a barrel and recoil spring swap.
How fast does a 22 TCM shoot?
The .22 TCM fires a 40-grain bullet at approximately 1,800–2,100 fps from a pistol barrel. Armscor's own factory data shows a muzzle velocity of 1,875 fps, making it one of the fastest commercially available pistol cartridges on the market today.
Is the 5.7 x28 better than the 22 TCM?
Neither is objectively "better"—it depends on your needs. The 5.7x28mm produces less recoil with a lighter bullet, while the .22 TCM delivers more energy and, from a pistol, can achieve higher velocity. Both cartridges suit self-defense and sport shooting. Try both if possible.
What guns shoot 22 TCM?
Rock Island Armory manufactures .22 TCM firearms, primarily 1911-style pistols in their Standard and Armor Series lines. These pistols feature interchangeable barrels and recoil springs, allowing shooters to use both .22 TCM and 9mm from the same gun. A bolt-action rifle variant also exists for this caliber.
