Product Overview

The Rock Island Armory Rock Ultra FS Combo in 9mm/.22 TCM 9R represents a pinnacle of versatility and value in the modern 1911 platform. This full-size, steel-frame pistol is engineered for the discerning shooter who demands multiple capabilities from a single, robust firearm. At its core, it is a high-performance 9mm 1911, but its included conversion kit allows it to fire the unique .22 TCM 9R cartridge, effectively giving you two distinct pistols for the price of one. With its 5-inch barrel, 10+1 capacity, and classic single-action operation, it is ideally suited for range training, competitive shooting, and home defense. The Rock Ultra FS Combo is for the practical enthusiast who appreciates mechanical ingenuity, wants to reduce ammunition costs through .22 TCM training, and desires the proven reliability of the 1911 design without compromise.

Key Features

• Dual-Caliber Versatility: The complete combo includes the pistol chambered in 9mm and a separate, fitted .22 TCM 9R barrel and recoil system. This allows for an instant caliber change, offering the low-cost, low-recoil training of .22 TCM or the defensive and competition readiness of 9mm.
• Robust Steel Frame & Parkerized Finish: Built on a durable steel frame with a classic Parkerized finish, this pistol is designed for longevity. The Parkerization provides a matte, non-reflective surface that is highly resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring a reliable tool for years of use.
• Enhanced Grip & Safety Package: Features textured G10 grips for a secure, non-slip hold in all conditions. The ambidextrous thumb safety and beavertail grip safety work in tandem to provide secure, ergonomic operation for both right and left-handed shooters.
• Full-Size 1911 Performance: The 5-inch barrel contributes to improved sight radius and velocity, while the full-size, 2.5-pound steel frame manages recoil effectively, allowing for faster follow-up shots and consistent accuracy.
• 10+1 Round Capacity: Offers a standard capacity that balances the classic 1911 profile with modern practical needs, suitable for a variety of shooting disciplines and defensive scenarios.

Performance & Applications

Cost-Effective Range Training & Caliber Familiarization: The .22 TCM 9R conversion is a standout feature for dedicated practice. This cartridge produces minimal recoil and muzzle rise while maintaining a notable report and flash, making it an excellent tool for honing fundamental marksmanship skills, draw-and-fire drills, and managing flinch at a fraction of the cost of continuous 9mm training. Switching back to the 9mm configuration allows you to apply those skills with your primary defensive caliber.

USPSA or IDPA Competition (Limited/SSP Divisions): As a single-action 1911 in 9mm, this pistol is a natural fit for action pistol sports. The crisp trigger, excellent weight balance, and 10-round capacity make it a competitive choice in divisions like USPSA Limited 10 or IDPA Stock Service Pistol. The G10 grips and beavertail safety ensure the pistol stays locked in the hand during rapid strings of fire.

Home Defense & Duty-Ready Platform: The reliability inherent in the 1911 design, combined with the proven terminal performance of modern 9mm defensive ammunition, makes this a serious option for home protection. The ambidextrous safety allows for secure condition-one carry, and the full-size frame and weight make for a stable, controllable platform under stress.
