First off, this is my first time in this section of the forum so sorry if this post is in the wrong place.

I recently purchased a single stack RIA 22tcm/9mm combo and am looking to get a couple extra mags.

RIA wants nearly $45 per so I'm hoping to find something a little cheaper. I purchased some 9mm metalforms but the 22tcm is a little too long to load properly.

Has anyone tried the Checkmate 38 super magazines with the 22tcm and 9mm? Link

For the 22tcm,you have to go with 38 special mags.  9 mm won't work.  
My single stack 1911 A1 tactical ii I bought mec-gar mags (mgcgov38b) from cheaper than dirt .  all 4 work well with no problems.  Now they do not have bumpers,just plain bases, but they fit the well fine with no adjustments

I read the 22 TCM needed 38 Super 1911 mags because the 22 TCM cartridge is longer than the 9 MM and closer to the length of the 45 ACP & 38 Super cartridges.

The standard capacity for 1911 in 9 MM & 38 Super is 9 rounds.  I have used Metalform mags from Brownell's in 45 ACP and they seem to be good quality.  Here is a link for 38 Super 9 round mags from Brownell's.
