imschur Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Odd looking cartridge. You going to give it a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Absolutely. I own all the practical defensive handguns I could possibly ever find a use for, so, I like to play with interesting oddball pieces.The way I hear it is the cartridge was developed by shortening and necking a .308 (I may be wrong on the parent cartridge) case to the TCM's dimensions.So, as long as there is .308 brass and you have dies, you'll be able to roll your own ammo.Means you'll never be stuck with a firearm that has no ammo supply.Plus, this pistol also comes with a 9x19 barrel that swaps out in a minute or two.I like the concept and the trick new cartridge.Revision. I think the cartridge may be based on .223 brass. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 So did the come out with it this summer? I love my RIA 1911, but they have a tendency to miss release dates on new guns by miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I first heard about it 3 or 4 months back. Now I see there are videos on line of it being fired (I think by owners of the new pistol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
