No kidding, I had never heard of the 22tcm before.

Seems the tcm vs tcm9r difference is simply a shorter bullet in the tcm9r to fit standard 9mm mags?

I believe that is the difference between the two. I view it as a novelty much like the alternative intermediate calibers for the AR-15 (6.8 SPC, 6.5 Grendel, 300 Blackout). Until cartridges or platforms get adopted by the military or significant LE numbers, they really become commercial failures. Ammo cost becomes the defining factor.

***Brugger & Thomet***
I guess B&T (Swiss company best known for their MP9) is attempting to get more of their products stateside, to include their ROTEX suppressors. Unfortunately for us lowly civies, that would mean they would have to be produced here first. :cry:

They are importing more of their scope rails and rail systems to the US and are trying to get their APC-556/APC-9 to the states. I guess they are just getting clued into the US commercial market and how it can be exploited.

Here's the video I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3ZAJEyEjFA

The guy in the video made me laugh, just the way he said "man sized caliber" and "goes bang bang instead of boom boom" was classic.

- Most of their items were announced pre-shot, but for anyone interested here's a good video containing most of magpul's new offerings




Since it would make threads like this so much more convenient for readers... is it possible to do embedded youtube videos here?
I've tried several ways and can't seem to figure it out.

Really that simple... LOL I feel even dumber now... Appreciate the assistance!

Video is of the Dead-air Ghost-M, another new multi caliber handgun suppressor.
