22 TCM , 22 TCM 9r or 5.7x28? Any thoughts or ideas?

The TCM is a locked breach hot round
the length is the only thing that limits it to me. The 5.7 is a blow back, no variation in ballistics other than bullet weight. The brass is very strong but still guys will figure out they really need to be careful not to try to hot load it. Have the breach open while pressures are very high. The $1200-1400 cost of the FN has limited experimentation. I hope it does not cause Ruger issues, idiots at play. Maybe that thick brass will help. I am not schooled on how they managed some delay on the blow back action. Surely it has advanced forethought.
The TCM .22 with a 9mm barrel is very interesting to me. What versatility! Who doesn't love searching for brass in the tall grass?!
Have been looking at one those RIA 1911s, maybe this year
If I don't go the Ruger 57 route. Think either would be fun. Would be nice to shoot 9mm in the same firearm with just switching a barrel and guide rod.
derek you would be hard pressed to find a better 1911 than
the Rock Island. They are as close to being perfect as any 1911 I know of plus they are about half the price of other 1911s that are no better. Before we got our own slides and frames we had a contract with Rock Island to furnish our frames for us. We went with them because they were as perfect as a 1911 can be. Every dimension was perfect. Every hole was exactly in the right place.Every small part fit. I would go with a Rock Island before I would even think about a Kimber or any other high dollar 1911. Our frames and slides are as perfect as a 1911 can be (or we wouldn't have spent mega bucks for them), but I consider the Rock Island to be equal in every way. So if you are thinking of a 1911 without spending well over a grand, give the Rock Island a good long look.
I HAVE BOTH THE RIA TCM AND .22 WMR
EXCELLENT 1911s![[image]](images/uploaded/202001041446345e10a54a65c5a.jpg)
