This review compares the 5.7x28mm and .22 TCM cartridges in handguns, evaluating their power, performance, and penetration capabilities. The 5.7x28mm, particularly the FN Green Tip, demonstrated superior penetration against Level 3A body armor.

The host ultimately favors the 5.7x28mm for its armor-piercing potential.

The RIA 22 TCM, a heavier all-steel 1911 variant, demonstrated 100% reliability with significant muzzle flash and low recoil.

The Rock Island Armory MAPP 22 TCM 9R offers a unique high-velocity, low-recoil shooting experience based on the CZ-75 platform.

Despite these points, its accuracy, reliability over 250 rounds, and low recoil make it a compelling option for plinking or even recoil-sensitive self-defense.
