RIA 22TCM purchase

[Gurn]

Do any of you have one of these? I have one waiting at my FFL to pickup Friday. Been kinda wanting to add one to my RIA family. Ordered it last week when they were $349 , they’re up to $399 now. What are your thoughts and experiences with them? Where do you get your ammo? They also have a promotion for 100 rounds and a magazine.

I did pickup a box of ammo locally for $26 . Nifty looking stuff

Just picked it up. Came with three mags and a gallon of oil

I think this is such a cool little gun, the muzzle flash at dark is sure to get a few smiles when plinking. I think the only other time I remember seeing one of these even mentioned on the forum was like 2021.

I just did a quick ammoseek because I was curious if round price and this stood out. I’ve ordered from skogens a bunch. Packaged well and no tax (unless they hit their state threshold and now charge). Free shipping at $300. 

If you remember and post a follow up would be reading for your opinion. Looks awesome though.

Looks like fun.

Took it to the range today. Shoots wonderful! Loud and smooth. Then I installed a 9mm barrel and spring from my RIA single stack 9mm 1911 and it worked perfectly as well. Now I think I’ll  order a 38 super barrel and try that out. This is going to be a fun gun!

I think they call this 308Micro-

I’ve had one about 10 years.  Came with an additional 9mm barrel and was about $600.  I think I shot  22TCM maybe twice and then left the 9mm barrel in it.   It ran TCM fine, but I never saw much point in the chambering.  The FN Five Seven makes more sense to me because at least it’s a lightweight handgun and higher capacity. 

Ammo was not hard to find and not super expensive but I tend to doubt things will stay that way now that the caliber has basically failed to gain traction.  I did buy a set of Lee dies but never used them.

I hate to say it, I bought that combo 10 years ago and I don't think I've ever put the TCM barrel on.

The best price on TCM ammo local I’ve found so far is Outposts Armory in Murfreesboro. $23.99 a box. Any one seen it cheaper anywhere? I haven’t been to a gunshow lately so I don’t know what prices are at shows. On a side note. My groupings with the TCM ammo was about twice as tight as with 9mm.
