This review compares the RIA 22 TCM and Kel-Tec PMR-30, highlighting their distinct cartridge types, build materials, and performance. The RIA 22 TCM, a heavier all-steel 1911 variant, demonstrated 100% reliability with significant muzzle flash and low recoil. The lightweight polymer PMR-30, chambered in .22 WMR, experienced feeding failures when loaded beyond 15 rounds, despite its higher capacity and lower price point.
This review of the Rock Island Armory (RIA) 22 TCM 1911 highlights its impressive value and performance, especially considering its price point around $650. Expert Robbie Wheaton of Wheaton Arms praises its build quality, tight tolerances, and reliable function, noting a 5-pound trigger pull. The pistol demonstrates excellent accuracy with the 22 TCM cartridge and offers the flexibility of a 9mm conversion with a simple barrel and recoil spring swap.
