22 TCM anybody shooting it??

Sam06

Let me know what ya'll think.

I am considering getting one.

How about reloading? Is it easy of a PITA?


Talk to me Johnny[:D]



Before anyone tells me to do a search I did do one and read the posts. Not much real info.

I want to know if these are worth the money and trouble. Is it a fun gun to shoot, accurate.

I read the American Rifleman article and did my own on line search. Seems like an interesting concept. I am also looking forward to some real world experience.

seems to me it would be ok in a rifle ..lose to much oomph in a pistol

They have a rifle, I believe its a Bolt action.

I may opt for that id its cheaper.

I have the pistol in the single stack version it also came with a 9mm barrel but only one magazine for the 22 TCM. You can use a 38 super mag for the 22 TCM. Seems to me it would have been better in a revolver. Shooting Times Feb 2015 has reloading information on both rifle and pistol and where to get the reloading dies, bullets and brass. I also got the rifle later paid around $375 new, have not shot it that much did notice that with the Armscor ammo its hard to extract the brass no problem with my reloads. Have only shot it out to 300 yards accuracy is good, holds a good group, shoots better than I do.. .Hope this helps....

Thanks a good looking rifle and an interesting caliber.
I might have to pop on one of those.
Like to see a Revolver in that caliber.

I have a single stack pistol also. Was on my want list and ran into one for cheap. Very, very fun round. Accurate. Impressive muzzle flash in low light and LOUD. Have the rifle on my want list now.

Have had no trouble with reloading after getting dies dialed in.

well i looked for the negative articles about the pistol and could find mostly positive reviews...excepting flash and being odd caliber ammo..can't find what i used to pass on this purchase...now i have a RIA xt-22 22lr all steel pistol for about 3 years and like it and have been waiting not patiently for the xt-22 magnum..Guns Dec 2016 had a full page ad but NO dealer i know has ever got their hands on one...???? study up one the tcm ammo/pistol and make your decision....have read/heard the rifle is a good one

With all the muzzle flash from that round how bad would the gap blast (or whatever it's called)?

Does seem to be an interesting round to shoot.[:D]

I just finished reading the 4 or so reviews that googled up. From the looks of the trigger, its gonna do better with a shoe. Check it out. Kinda narrow isn't it? Other than that, hey, id go for it.

I am not sure if I want a pistol or a rifle. I am leaning to the rifle as I would shoot it more.

I have not seen anything bad about it.

As far a revolver; bottle neck cartridges don't do as well in revolvers think back on the 22 Jet. Slight bottlenecks are fine like the 44, 38 and 32 WCF's.

bought one last year, shoots well (hearing protection a must). 9mm barrel is almost 'match class' for accuracy. hornady 35 gn hornet bullets work well (and look 'neat'). now looking for a rifle.
