Hello all, I have a Tanfoglio Witness hunter in 10mm, and would like to find a 6" .40 barrel for it. Does anyone know where I could find one, or maybe have one that they are not using?
Thank you

Ok, so I worked my load up to 7.4 gr. CFE with 124 gr. Extreme bullets. Still no excessive pressure signs, comp is working great and I did chrono the load. 1,431 fps average, 28fps variation (1,426 low, and one jumped up to 1,454.) I think I will bring it back down to 7.2 gr., that will still keep me comfortably in major pf and seemed a little more accurate. Thank you all for your help.

Are you sure that it’s 9mm? A gun of that vintage may be 38Super or 38Supercomp. All the barrels are the same until the gunsmith cuts the chamber.
Yes, it is cut for 9mm. I thought that myself when I first saw it and double checked it, even though the previous owner told me it was a 9.

...I'd also recommend getting screws in those holes on the mount asap.
Got that part covered since the pics were taken.

Yeah, I know, it's on the list. That's kinda why I've stopped at 7 grains and haven't pushed on yet. All of the pressure signs say I'm good where I'm at , so far.

I have 2 2011s made by Rock Island. Both run great on whatever I feed them. I even have a 10mm barrel fitted to one just to carry out in the field for hogs. Oh, I can hear the gears grinding in some of your heads because I brought up THAT gun, but they run. One has at least 20K down the pipe since I started shooting it in limited 6 years ago and is smooth as butter. But the best part... I sold my two STI Edge .40s and got my other Rocky. I shot them better and they were way less finicky after a few hundred rounds break in.

Hello all, and thank you for suffering through this noobs silly questions. I do appreciate any input, info and suggestions you can give me.
I picked up this older STI build for what I thought was dirt cheap. I was expecting it to have issues because of the price, even though I went over it with a fine tooth comb. Surprisingly, it runs top notch. Came with 4 mags and all run flawlessly. My question is, what do I have? I was hoping someone could just rattle off what comp is on it and maybe what barrel. I know, more pics would help, but that will have to come later. Comp has 3 chambers, the only markings are .355 on the hood, it accepts long loaded 9mm bullets and there are no other holes. (popples?)
Also, I have started a load workup with CFE and CCI magnum primers topped off with Xtreme plated 124 rn loaded to the same length that I load my standard 9mm for other guns. I have reached 7 gr. CFE so far with minimal pressure signs. I did notice at 6.8 gr. that the comp woke up and really started to do its thing, and group size shrank noticeably. I would like to get to 7.4 gr. just to be sure I'm hitting major (I know, use a chrony.) That's a plan for the future I guess. What do you all think?

Just joined after reading a couple of posts about loading 9mm for major pf. I've been shooting USPSA for about 6 years now in Limited, and I'm about to cross into Open territory. I picked up a used STI race gun for a heckuva good price and thought I would give it a try. I'm still learning about comps and holes and ports and such, and I can tell already that I'm going to have to invest in a chronograph. I like to collect Smith & Wesson and Colt revolvers, the older the better, and M1 Garands.
Where can I find a 6" .40 barrel?
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

Thank you. I tried Patriot Defense to no avail, and I'm not sure why I did think about Bar-Sto. I'll try them and J&L. Again, thank you.
