The Armscor FAC22TCM1N delivers exceptional velocity and expansion in the specialized 22 TCM cartridge format. This jacketed hollow point ammunition transforms standard pistol platforms into high-performance systems capable of rifle-like velocities exceeding 2,000 feet per second.
What Makes This Different
The 22 TCM cartridge bridges the gap between traditional pistol rounds and rifle performance in a compact package. Unlike standard 9mm or .40 S&W rounds, this 40-grain JHP achieves flat trajectory and devastating terminal performance through its bottlenecked case design. The jacketed hollow point construction ensures reliable expansion while maintaining structural integrity at extreme velocities.
Key Features
- 40-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- Bottlenecked cartridge case maximizes powder capacity and velocity
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
- 50 rounds per box packaging for extended range sessions
- Compatible with Rock Island Armory TCM pistols and carbines
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- Non-corrosive primer and propellant formulation
Range testing demonstrates consistent velocities around 2,000 fps from pistol-length barrels, delivering energy levels comparable to rifle cartridges. The hollow point design expands reliably in ballistic gelatin while maintaining adequate penetration for defensive applications. This ammunition excels in competitive shooting where flat trajectory matters, and serves effectively for small game hunting within appropriate ranges.
