They do make a 22 TCM conversion kit for Glocks and Rock Island 1911's. The 1911A1 conversion kit might work on your gun, but I don't know for sure. The different companies make 1911's but the gun parts may not be interchangeable between them.
They do not just sell the barrel separately.

IIRC the 22 TCM is a very low recoil round and it needs a very lightweight slide and spring to cycle correctly, that's most likely the reason they only offer a complete upper rather than a conversion barrel. Looks to be an interesting round, but I need fewer projects, not more.
Report back if you try it

respiegel... I do not think that slide weight is the issue. I have the TCM convertible and slide seems to be about the same weight as other 1911 slides. When shooting 9mm there is a much stronger recoil spring that is used.

There is a ramped barrel on sale on our favorite auction site. Not certain if your pistol takes a ramped barrel or not.

The 22 TCM Rock Island barrel will go in a Springfield slide & frame + a Colt 38Sup slide. Done it. The colt 38Sup wants to fit the RI slide but won't. Just be aware the 1911 "parts" are never drop in, there is fitting involved. What I Really want is a RI slide in 45ACP to add to my convertible. The Springfield barrel slides in the rockisland slide just fine, it's hood is just too wide, won't seat. The biggest problem is to get the slide to work with the 9 ejector, they're wider. Picture it, RI in 3 calibers.:guntootsmiley:
