That is not a good example.

What the FBI knows is that qualification scores were down using the .40. It was far cheaper to switch back to 9mm than it was to properly train everyone and provide more practice.

Rock Island has the .22TCM in a 1911 that is fairly easy to rack and recoil is not bad. It does make a lot of noise when fired and has a fairly good punch coming out of a 9mm case necked down to .22 caliber.
Actually, the .22 TCM is based on the .223 case, but that is an extremely minor point.
