This Armscor/Rock Island Armory load (part no. FAC22TCMNR1N) is a 22 TCM 9R handgun round built for the growing lineup of Rock Island Armory pistols chambered in this high-velocity cartridge. Each round drives a 39 grain jacketed hollow point at speeds that outrun most conventional handgun calibers, giving 22 TCM 9R shooters a flat-shooting, hard-hitting option for the range or the field. The nickel-plated jacket and brass case combine for smooth feeding and reliable extraction, and the 9R designation confirms this load is dimensioned to run through Rock Island’s 9mm-conversion 22 TCM platforms. It is a solid choice for anyone already invested in the 22 TCM 9R system who wants dependable factory ammunition rather than reloads.

Key Specifications

• Chambered in 22 TCM 9R, the 9mm-length variant of Rock Island’s high-velocity 22 TCM cartridge.
• Bullet weight is 39 grains, kept light to maximize velocity out of the cartridge’s small case capacity.
• Bullet design is a jacketed hollow point, giving the round expansion potential over plain ball ammunition.
• The jacket has a nickel-plated finish, which resists corrosion and helps rounds cycle smoothly through the action.
• Cases are brass, allowing reloaders to save spent brass for handloading.
• Packed 50 rounds per box, a standard range-day count for this specialty caliber.
• Runs about $0.45 per round at the box price, in line with other factory-loaded specialty handgun calibers.
• The 9R designation marks this as the 9mm-length loading, built to run in Rock Island’s 9mm-conversion 22 TCM pistols and magazines rather than the longer original 22 TCM case.
• As a hollow point, the bullet is built to expand on impact rather than punch straight through like a round-nose or FMJ load.
