I never thought I'd be recoil sensitive, but here I am.
I found out last year that I have narcolepsy, a lifelong neurological condition. It doesn't stop me from shooting, carrying or driving as I'm under treatment with regular checkups. Let's not dwell on this too much, it's just background for the rest of the question.
One of the side effects of the treatment for me has been hand tremors. They're not so bad and they're occasional. Unfortunately, too much stimulation (like recoil) causes them to act up quickly. I've stopped shooting my G43X altogether. I never thought the recoil was bad on it, but unfortunately it's too much for me lately in the sense that it causes my hands to start shaking quickly and it's becoming pretty bothersome.
My G19 I can shoot for longer, and my .32s and .25s I can shoot all day with no issue. In fact, I shoot my Armi Galesi .25 better at 10 yards than my G43X.
This got me thinking about other calibers. Carrying a .32 wouldn't be the end of the world but there's a definite power gap between it and modern cartridges. Thought about a revolver in .327 or .32-20 also. I really considered 5.7X28 but there really isn't a good gun choice for me.
Anyways, I ended up finding .22 TCM again and after researching it I really like the idea. Performance seems to be very impressive with little recoil. Although ammo is single source, it seems to be available and very reasonably priced. I definitely don't hate the ballistic profile of the round. And being that I live on a small homestead/farm in Florida, it seems like a very appropriate round for all manner of critters out here.
I'm looking into a RIA FS in 9mm and .22 TCM. Still lets me shoot 9mm when I want or if RIA's ammo dries up. They're not my favorite manufacturer but they haven't really encouraged anybody else to manufacture guns in their caliber. Or I see if I can still find one of their conversion kits for my G19.
Anybody have experience with the round in an RIA or another gun? Want to get some more informed opinions before I give it a try. How are the RIA 1911s? And how does the double stack grip and size compare to the single stack? I don't mind the extra weight of the double stack (probably helps with recoil too) but any grip larger than roughly a CZ75 is somewhat uncomfortable for me.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or experiences.
