Armscor .22 TCM 9R 39-grain Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition (part no. 50328) loads a high-velocity, light-recoiling round for the dual-caliber Rock Island Armory 1911 pistols built to fire it. Armscor/Rock Island Armory designed the 9R variant to share the same case head as 9mm, so a single pistol can swap between .22 TCM and 9mm barrels without changing magazines. At a published 2,000 feet per second, this light 39-grain jacketed hollow point is one of the fastest handgun loads on the market, flattening trajectory and reducing felt recoil compared to a standard 9mm or .40-caliber round. The brass case construction holds up to the cartridge’s high pressure and supports reloading. In handgun ammunition built around a genuinely unique platform, this is the load that makes .22 TCM 9R worth owning a conversion barrel for.

Key Specifications

• Muzzle velocity is rated at 2,000 feet per second, among the fastest common handgun loads available.
• The bullet is a Jacketed Hollow Point, built to expand on impact at that velocity.
