e5young Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) How are you all doing?! I am approaching my 21st birthday so I will finally get to buy my first handgun. While my dad has handguns so I'm not new to the handgun world of shooting, I am looking for something special as my first pistol. I am in CA so we do have a roster, basically all guns except for glock gen 3's are illegal here. That being said, I have a friend that is offering to sell me his Springfield Model P9 LSP (long slide ported) for my birthday. I am trying to find as much information as I can but Google is lacking of much information. I could only find that they are Tanfo OEM parts assembled in the US by Springfield (I don't even know if this is correct). I was also told that they used to be used heavily as Open guns if they were chambered in 9x21 to make major power factor. This one my buddy is selling is chambered in 9x19. Anyone here own one and/or have more information surrounding this pistol? Where can I get extra parts? Barrels? Sights? I kinda want to shoot this in production but it is ported.... Thanks in advanced! Edited January 27, 2017 by e5young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 They were made in the early '90's. Small frame Tanfo parts should fit for parts. The one with the dot above has a CZ extractor and slide stop, and both have single sided CZ safeties. CZ 75 mags work well (Mecgar mags for CZ 75).

GrumpyOne Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If you don't mind me asking, how much is he selling it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Put in a non ported barrel and it should be Production legal and if it is DA/SA. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIIID Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 That 32.2 is for a standard P9, the LSP weighs more than that. I'll have to take one out and weigh it. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I wondered when he said his friend is offering it for his birthday. Might just be a nice guy, might be laughing inside.
