I actually found the combo in the for sale section here at a great price a couple years ago after keeping an eye open for a few years. I believe RIA has stopped selling this combo which is too bad because the 22tcm is a really cool round, practically no recoil. In the heavy all steel frame RIA it feels like you are shooting a 22lr. Racking the slide with the lite 22tcm recoil spring takes practically no effort at all.I've been looking for the combo that you have. I've heard the 22TCM is a sweet round with a bit of a flash.
The one thing that surprised me about the double stack RIA is how heavy it is. It has a complete steel frame with more mass than a single stack which is where the weight comes from. The 2011's I am familiar with have plastic or aluminum grip modules:
The extra weight is not necessarily a bad thing as it shoots VERY soft but I can see how the weight could be a hindrance to fast handling in certain competitions. For fast follow up shots the extra weight is great though.
I recommend the RIA, their double stacks after you acquaint yourself with the weight and the 22tcm. All together they are a great combo!
