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. In ballistics gel, the .22 TCM showed significant fragmentation but over-penetrated, while the 5.7mm rounds exhibited varied expansion and tumbling. The host ultimately favors the 5.7x28mm for its armor-piercing potential.
This video provides a brief overview of a Glock 17 conversion kit to fire the 22 TCM 9R cartridge, manufactured by Rock Island Armory. The content highlights a specific firearm modification and ammunition type. The description also includes personal endorsement links for sunglasses and social media follow requests.
The Rock Island Armory MAPP 22 TCM 9R offers a unique high-velocity, low-recoil shooting experience based on the CZ-75 platform. It features a polymer frame, internal slide rails, and accepts standard CZ-75 magazines. While the 22 TCM 9R cartridge produces a notable fireball and impressive velocity, its ammo availability is limited, and the double-action trigger is heavy. 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.
