I'm looking for some feedback from Henning, and anybody else who may have some experience with this problem. I have two Limited Custom pistols, both filled with Hennings products. I've started shooting again after a two year layoff, and within a month I've broken the extractor on both pistols. One of them had broken an extractor only about 5000 rounds, (and over 2 years) ago. I haven't changed any other parts on the guns lately, and I'm using the same brass as before. I've tried feeding dummy rounds through the chambering process by racking the slide and watching them feed, I can't see any problems. Could this be just a coincidence, or do I have a problem? The first extractor broke (over 2 years ago) after about 15,000 rounds, I didn't think anything about it, extractors break. Then last month, the extractor broke in the second gun, it probably had 12,000 to 15,000 rounds through it. So I figured extractors only last about 15,000 rounds in these guns. But now after only about 5,000 rounds, the first gun broke again. I'm just wondering if the two years of none use could have anything to do with this issue. Ideas?

I use the Race Master with my Limited Customs, it is very good. I have noticed on occation that I will hit my finger on the lock when making a quick draw, it is about the only thing that could use an improvement. It locks in well, comes out super smooth, it's very reliable. Just make sure to locktite your set screws once you are sure on the holster postion.

I shoot lead for practice all the time, no problems. But you might want to consider plated or jacketed for matches, cuts down on the smoke and you can see your targets easier when you shoot several rounds from one location.

Thanks for the reply Henning. Good to know that your parts will still be available across the border, they are awesome . Any idea how long until the new distributors and contact numbers are listed?

Already done, I was just needing a factory rear site and got it from the guy who sold me the gun. Too bad though, ordering direct from Henning you knew you would get what you needed. So is Henning at least going to post who his new dealers are so we can try ordering from them, or are we just suppose to find them on our own? I didn't see any links on his website. This time I needed a factory part, what if I need one of Hennings parts?

What happened to the number to place an order with Henning? I've looked all over his website, twice, and don't see it. I don't remember it being hard to find in the past. Also, I see a note there about international orders going through distributors, so who is sending me parts? Henning or someone who doesn't really know the parts except by a number on the package? I need something ordered in a hurry, this wasn't a problem in the past, I hope this is still the case. If there is still a phone number to place an order from Canada, can someone pass it along to me, thanks. The only number I could find was for arranging returns.

Not me.

I've noticed the same thing with my Tanfoglios,.... perhaps another opening for a part to be improved upon by everyones favorite Tanfoglio parts supplier. Is a new and improved trigger bar somewhere in your plans Henning?

Anybody know a good Tanfoglio gunsmith in Canada?

I load mine to 1.170" and have no problems. I tried longer lengths, up to 1.200" because of some of the talk I heard, but I saw no benefits from it. In fact I had to use more powder to make Major Power Facter in IPSC. Don't believe everything you read, experiment for yourself, with your equipment.

I'm not much on accuracy as I shoot IPSC , but around these parts Montana Gold seem to be the standard bullet for Standard and Open guys. Anybody know how these rate on the accuracy scale?

Lots of paper towel and some elbow grease works for me. I try to keep the harsh chemicals off the finish of my guns.

I suspect it is more of an individual thing. I have one with slide lightening, one without, and I find the lightened one comes back to point of aim alot better. The un-lightened one has a noticably heavier front end which I find more difficult to shoot quickly. With splits of about .25 not much difference, going sub .20 I find a noticable difference.

I MUST REMEMBER THIS AT MY NEXT STEEL MATCH!!!! Thank you, I think this is an ah-HA moment for me.

I find that coming down onto a target blind that I often shoot it very low. It is now my pratice to shoot from bottom to top when possible. Works for me.
