Does this pistol have a ramp barrel or is it regular GI 1911 where the ramp is built into the frame and the throat of the chamber?

Jon, this is a recent version pistol and comes with a Ramped Barrel. Older pistols were mostly non ramped Sir. You can verify this with Armscor/RIA Customer Service at Phone: (775) 537-1444 or by email inquiry here : support@armscor.com

don't see any mention of having both a .22 & 9mm barrel

Dave, yes Sir. This is the Combo package that includes both a 22 TCM and 9mm Barrel. The magazine holds 17 rounds of ammunition of either caliber.

David , This handgun comes with barrel and spring for each caliber.

How many magazine are come with this pistol?

I have this gun and it comes with 1 17 round mag that works with both the 9mm and 22TCM (can also use 22TCM9R ) from RIA FAQ How many magazines come with a firearm purchase? To keep our firearms affordable, one magazine is included with each firearm purchase. Additional magazines for your firearm(s) can be purchased at Advanced Tactical or other after market magazine manufacturers. NOTE: Rock Island Armory's lifetime warranty only covers factory magazines. mags are available here https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/35327

Joseph, includes (1) 17rd Magazine (Fits both 22TCM & 9mm Caliber). ---- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u3_iCyqER8

will it take both types of rounds?

it can use both 22TCM and 22TCM9R ammo I have this gun it is 9MM / 22TCM the 22TCM can use 22 TCM 9r ammo but the 22TCM9R will not work with 22TCM ammo the 22TCM uses a slightly longer bullet the 22TCM9R is loaded with a shorter bullet to fit in 9mm mags the case is the same on both 22TCM and 22TCM9R

William, Yes Sir. The magazines are cross compatible with both the 22tcm 9r and 9mm.

William, Yes same magazine just swap out the barrel. Hence Combo in model description.

I was just wondering how many rounds of 9mm this will hold. I understand it’ll hold 17 TCM22 but is is a traditional 9 round or a 2011 type capacity when loaded with 9mm? Thanks

This pistol will hold a total of 18rds with the 17rd magazine full and one in the chamber in both 22TCM & 9mm. Reason? The 22TCM is simply a 9mm case necked down to 22 caliber so bot use the same magazines.

it will hold 17 rounds of 9 MM the 22tcm and the 9mm both use the same doublestack modified 38 super magazine in this gun they needed the 38 super mag because 22TCM rounds are to long to feed out of a 9mm magazine> I have one of the 1st 22tcm/9mm guns that RIA made and it is a blast to shoot 22TCM big fireball, loud and no recoil

Also holds 17 rounds of 9mm. The case diameters of 9mm and 22 TCM are less than 0.4mm difference and take up pretty much the exact same amount of space when stacked

Hi I assume that the magazine will handle the 9mm as well as the 22TCW. Thanks.

Tomislav - this comes complete with everything you need for a good day at the range! (except the ammo, of course!) enjoy

Tomislav yes the Magazine will. They will feed both cartridges without issue Sir.

Are these compatible with regular 1911 grips, or do they have to be specific to RIA or PARA double stacks?

Yes, Josh, it's a 1911 and 1911 government size grips will fit. Can't say for sure, but it looks like the factory grips might be 'slim' grips, so using regular thickness grips might mean new grip screw, new grip bushing or both.

Joshua, standard 1911 Grips will work just fine. You would need "Double Stack" specific Grips if you want the wrap around or finger groove grips. ----- http://www.pearcegrip.com/Products/Para/PG-P14

These are full size government 1911 grips

what is a 22tcm and how does the 22tcm/9mm thing work

22tcm is a 22 caliber shortened necked down .223 case to fit in a handgun

James the 22TCM actually cut to 38 super length the 22tcm9r is shortened to 9mm length my 2 tcm uses a modified 38 super mag

You just switch out the 2 barrels Dallas. It comes with both.

22 TCM is a 223 case that is cut to 9mm length and then necked down to hold a 22 caliber bullet. The 22 TCM has a 22 caliber specific barrel. "Remember" the cut to 9mm length part? This is what allows you too fire standard 9mm ammunition through the 2nd 9mm barrel that comes with the package. So effectively you have a dual caliber capable pistol with just the change of swap barrels and recoil springs. It only takes a few seconds to switch and is the 22 TCM is a "HOOT" to shoot!

22tcm is a 22 caliber shortened necked down .223 case to fit in a handgun the gun comes with 2 barrels (22tcm and 9mm) and springs which you switch to change caliber

the gun comes with 2 barrels (22tcm and 9mm) and springs which you switch to change caliber

22tcm is a 22 caliber shortened necked down .223 case to fit in a handgun

Rock Island 51687 TCM Rock Standard FSHC Combo Semi-Automatic 5" 22 TCM/9mm  Black Parkerized
	
The TCM Rock Standard is constructed in 4140 Ordnance steel and is finished
with a durable parkerized coating. Built to drive the original Armscor 22
TCM cartridge over 2000fps, it features a 5" barrel with penetrating impact
and remarkably light recoil. Add a double stack mag well with 17-round
capacity and it earns respect for delivering a constant high-velocity
payload. Includes skeletonized hammer and trigger with adjustable over
travel stop and low-profile anti-snag front and rear sights. This pistol is
fitted with checkered polymer grips and a drop-in 9mm accessory barrel.

Item was shipped fast and was as advertised. The firearm has been reliable and a blast to shoot.

I’ve had some issues with it extracting 22TCM cartridges. The case expands slightly and has a tendency to stick in the chamber and slip off of the extractor. I haven’t had any issues with the 9mm barrel.

I bought mine, the full sized standard model this spring. I am thrilled with the 22TCM. So much so I have not even put the 9mm barrel on it. The 22TCM is very reliable and powerful. Muzzle speed clocks in at about 2000 fps. Drop is somewhere less than 1" at around 50 yards through the 5" barrel. Recoil is essentially nil. Compared to the 5.7 I'd have to say this is definitely on par and some shooting comparisons on youtube find it edging out the 5.7. Even for those purists or opinion differences between the function of the two, this is much less expensive to purchase and fire...plus you have the alternate 9mm option. I have had no failures and suspect those with failures have used the 38 Super Para 18 mags without doing the required modification which can allow some misfeeds. If you purchase the 38 super mag and compare it to the OEM RIA mag you can see the beveling done to modify it for reliability. My only complaint, if there were to be one....would actually be 2.... first is that it is heavy and rather a pain to carry and conceal but it is the full sized 1911 with a 5" barrel and is all steel so weight and size are what those equate out to. The second is though ammo is plentiful..., I just wish some other manufacturers would wade out into the water and make ammo so potential supply shortages would be minimized and maybe produce some competition in pricing.

Nice in 9 mm unreliable in 22TCM 50 rounds and lots of FTF. Too bad would have been a nice alternative to the 5.7.

This pistol is the most fun gun to shoot with the flame throwing TCM bullet. The recoil isn't there and the slide is a breeze to rack. This is the gun for people who have a hard time racking the slide on a semi-auto pistol. It shoots wonderful in 9mm also. What a perfect pistol!

amazing hand gun. The power of TCM22 was very surprising. At 30 ft. it was center mass with plenty of power. Recoil was very manageable.
A very wicked fire arm. Good price Too.

I am a first time purchaser and I was very pleased with how this process went. I would recommend BUDSGUNSHOP to my friends and family.

The RIA 1911 A2 appears very bulky in comparison to a standard 1911, however the actual size difference is 0.1 inches due to the slimmer grips.
The magazine capacity of 17 rounds for either 22tcm or 9mm is a good trade off for the extra girth.
Minor modification to some hard polymer posters may be required
to accommodate for the extra width, this can be done easily with a half round file or a Dremel within a few minutes.
Don’t be surprised if you get other gun users asking what you are shooting especially if you are at an in door range.
The report is stunningly loud and the fireball will light up the range, however the recoil is close to that of a .22magnum.

I FEEL THE ROCK ISLAND TCM 22/9MM IS A DECENT BUY......HOWEVER WITHOUT A DAY-GLO FRONT SIGHT I WASN'T TOO PLEASED.
IVE ONLY SHOT THE TCM 22 BBL AND IT WAS OK...JUST OK. THE SELLING POINT WAS THE 2 BBLS .

Fit and finish is very good. It does feel a bit fatter in the hand then a single stack 1911 but stillfeels good in my average sized hands. Due to the weight, the recoil in 22 tcm and 9mm is very light. The pistol is great. the 22tcm9r ammo is another poor story
