          I'm planning to reload and just found out Armscor stopped producing projectiles, but at least is still producing factory ammo.

          I ended up ordering a custom mold from arsenal molds which will take 6-8 weeks, but I'll just this time to convert some brass.
          That is disappointing about Armscor no longer producing projectiles.

          How much was the custom mold (if you don't mind)

              I ordered the 5 cavity mold here



              It was 88 bucks and 9 bucks shipping.

                  You can also send it Armscor in Nevada.They can replace sights, hammer, trigger, install beavertail grip safety and tune it. And it wont affect the warranty.

                    How is the ammo availability? Or you reload?

                      I glommed 6 boxes of .38 super for my son while we were waiting out the 10 "cooling off" period. Actually cost about the same as .45 ACP.

                      The .22 TCM is a little harder to find, but is available for about .50/rd at current prices.

                        Found this article shooting times did about reloading for the 22tcm

                        Because the .22 TCM is a proprietary cartridge, not a SAAMI cartridge, and no published load data and information exists, handloading it is much like working with a wildcat. This article will get you headed in the right direction.

                            I set up my 38 super so it can do 38 Super, 9mm, 40s&w, 10mm, and 22lr. I was at the range with it just shooting 9mm along with an Hk usp 45. A guy came over to bend my ear and sell me some snake oil. He started raving about my 1911 and how well it was shooting.

                            I told him it was a RIA and he about fell over. I think he was expecting me to have more disposable income than I do....

                              The 9mm barrrel does not quite "drop in" to my sons .38 super frame.. The barrel hood seems to be a bit too long. The .22 TCM upper slide does not quite close.
