The mid-size TCM Standard is going to be your best concealed carry option. Its 17-round capacity and smaller barrel length is going to help you stay fully equipped to defend yourself. And with a low profile and anti-snag front and rear sights, drawing your gun is as easy as can be. With the Standard MS you don’t need to worry about a slow draw or low capacity ammunition.
The full-size TCM Standard is quite the companion. Its longer barrel and sturdy size pushes out 22 TCM ammunition like a rocket, and its nice weight and quality checkered grips give you great control. With little to no recoil to worry about, you’ll be shooting all day at the range.
The TCM Premium is an engineered marvel. It comes with a full-sized barrel and, like all TCM models, was built to drive the 22 TCM cartridge over 2000 feet per second. The Premium is really your best bet if you want all the bells and whistles. It comes fitted with battle ready G10 grips for a very comfortable and durable shooting experience. You’ll also have the ability to customize the TCM Premium. It comes standard with a full length under picatinny rail.
Our TCMs are part of our Armor Series, which means they come with a diamond-like carbon coating designed to increase reliability, durability, and performance—even in the most challenging conditions like sand, dirt, dust, and moisture.
This is the next evolution in modern firearm coatings. Armor Series weapons feature an advanced surface treatment that applies a clean, dry lubrication, resulting in permanent hardness while eliminating the need for oils or greases.
