Armed Eye Doc Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 There is a new Ruger pistol in 5.7 x 28. It looks pretty cool and costs less than the Five seven. https://ruger.com/products/ruger57/models.html It would be cool if someone with a gun manufacturing company could covert it to a Carbone using the same magazines. @Robocop1051
Armed Eye Doc Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Here is a review of it. Edited January 4, 2020 by Armed Eye Doc
Ravenworks Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 I love my Five-Seven. Maybe since Ruger is making it affordable it will breath life back into the caliber

Maybe since Ruger is making it affordable it will breath life back into the caliber I have a FiveseveN as well as an AR57. I think it would be a great boost to the caliber if you could carry a pistol and carbine that shared the same magazines.

Robocop1051 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 I’m interested to see if this reignites the cartridge or not. There’s already a cartridge contender in the market, the .22 TCM hosts the same payload, albeit slightly faster, in a shorter/fatter casing. This allows the new design to be loaded into preexisting frames and magazines. I believe there’s already several conversions out there and the .22 TCM 9R is the same length as a 9mm and uses the 9mm magazine. The .22 TCM is a legitimate .223 Remington short, built from the same casing.
98Z5V Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 .22 TCM is a badass little cartridge! I've punched through 1/4" AR500 plates with it...

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 It looks like a great round.
98Z5V Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Had a work buddy from 3 jobs ago that used to build 1911s in .22TCM. That's what we put the hole in the skinny plates with - handgun at 20 yards. Unreal little fucking cartridge. That was supposed to be my ".22 plates..." Yeah, okay for .22LR. Okay for .22 Mag. NOT OKAY for the damn little .22 TCM...
Armed Eye Doc Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 I saw 22TCM conversion kits for G17 and G19 for about $140.

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 What, if anything, is the difference between 22tcm and 22tcm9r?

98Z5V Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 ^^^ With all the responses, I'm thinking somebody has a new .22TCM affliction...

It should have been in a PDW 5 years ago, brother. It'll SMOKE soft armor. It'll fuk some AR500 up. Multi-hit on hard armor - I have no idea how much the hard armor could take, but it wouldn't last forever. This is a bad little motherfucker, brother. It's one HELL of a little tiny ass-kicking cartridge. I have another AR build on my plate right now, just because I found a badass handguard at a cheap price - but do I need to build a .22TCM AR just to show you fuckers how bad this little thing is?... Or, are one of you slackers gonna get on it already. I counted my ARs this last week, in my semi-annual inventory, and you guys might be shocked. MSM would SHIIT-ATTACK about it, if the numbers made the news... and I still don't think that there are enough of them. You guys gonna get on this one, or do I have to do it for you?...

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 I refuse to get a different caliber not named 460 Rowland.
Ravenworks Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 And just like that Speer is releasing new ammo. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/01/01/speer-gold-dot-5-7x28mm-ammunition/
392heminut Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 I know the guy who developed that cartridge, Fred Craig! I used to shoot USPSA with him and his brother Jaime Craig up in Hutchinson Kansas. They used to put the Kansas Sectionals on there in Hutchinson. Fred had a terrible temper, I watched him throw a timer over the berm at a match once because it kept acting up! He went and got after he calmed down a little His brother Jaime had a tattoo parlor called Point Blank in Hutch and was ranked a Grand Master in USPSA.
