I'm going to research it. Seems like a poor man's FN 5.7.
It is a 9mm necked down to 22. It is produced by Armscor in a 1911 and comes with both 9mm barrel and the 22TCM.

That's pretty cool. I'd never heard of it before. I wouldn't mind a set of those dies and a barrel to drop in my G19.
It looks like a pretty nifty round. I have been following it for a while, but haven't taken the plunge yet. In theory about any 9mm should be able to shoot this with a barrel change, and maybe some spring changes.
It looks like a really fun round to shoot but I have not yet found anything made by Armscor that I am willing to spend my money on. The slide to frame fit is so sloppy on the ones I have looked at while at gun shows they literally rattle when shaken.

I looked into this further; evidently the overall length of the 22 TCM round is too long for most 9mm magazines, so it's pretty much limited to 1911's and other full size frames.
I also came across some mention of the second iteration of the .224 BOZ; I was familiar with the first one, based on the 10mm, but evidently there was a second version based on the 9x19 to fit 9mm frames, if I understand correctly. That might be a better fit for my G19 and other common 9mm's.
