  1. EAA is the only game in town. The first 6'' 9mm I recieved from EAA, I sent to AWC who cut and threaded the barrel to fit my Witness Match for suppressor ready status. I've since recieved an additional 6'' 9mm and a 38S barrel. They seem to take 4-5 months to show up.
  2. A new 9mm barrel is less than $200 from EAA. From a safety stand point, might be the way to go. EGW measuring block for 38S, 9mm just doesn't fit the same. But 9x23 does. If you really want to shoot different calibers out of the same barrel, try 9x23 out of the 38S barrel. After alls said and Dunn your better of running proprietary complete upper slides or barrels for each caliber you shoot.
  3. Isn't that the Eurpean Tangfolio- English web site?
  4. The conversion kits will fit either frame. Seems cheaper to keep it on the Limited Pro. Sounds like your good to go if any fitment issues come up. I've got no .40 recipes, i only load 9x23 and 38 Super/Comp Major. Enjoy your new slide.
  5. Longslide w/Supersights or Limited kit will fit(also the Match). Keep in mind that every now and again that the conversion kit you get Might have to be Gunsmith fit. I just put a Limited 38 Super conversion kit on my railed Match 9mm. Very tight fit but after 700rds is now broken in. Yes new mags will need to be gotten. I've got three frames and five slides, thats what Witness's do that no other gun will do!
  6. Two day shipping from CO, what a great country we live in!
  7. The factory did a very poor job of "melting" any part of of the newer railed guns. Very sharp edges, of all the railed guns i've owned, it's the worst i've seen. BUT that extra .75" length in dust cover and the extra 2"+oz. of weight do seem to help when the Limited slide is on the Match frame
  8. Put my order in on Hennings web at 2 pm EST today, Henning called to fix a mistake i'd made and Complete order shipped two hours later. It's such a pleasure to deal with suppliers who care about their reputation!
  9. Limited 38Super conversion Kit came in last week. EAA shipping green box, cleaning brushes, cone barrel, LPA adj R. sight and one K38 mag. Barrel has serial # BUT no "Limited" cut into slide, CAL 38 SA only. Extremely tight fit on Railed 9mm Match frame. No play in frame to slide, at all. Ran 150rds of Armcor Saturday, will need another 300rds run next week. June it's off to the Gunsmith for ambi-safety, FO front and black Cerakote complete gun.
  10. Please see CZ forum-Classifieds: WTS CZ 75 SP01 Shadow Custom Black + Parts 9mm Shadow is Sold pending funds BUT TS .40 Complete Upper (lpa adj. dot R & FO F) 2.4lb. trigger pull IS Still available! Slide fitted to Shadow frame.
  11. According to the owner of AA&A the reloaded is loaded identical to their new brass. The only difference i see is the cost.
  12. If you ever put the Henning trigger In you will throw the old one in the closest river you can find!
  13. If you get the Limited you will need Henning pads to fit the magwell. Not needed for the match.
  14. Ben, I bought the same EAA mount for my Hunter 10mm(same frame as Limited). Just messing with it , seems like the R. sight Is going to have to come out. Proprietary mounted scope. It's not what i thoght i would end up with. But i'm OK with it because the gun does hunt. Slide racker might be the way to go. What scope and scope mounts are you going to use?
  15. OK! I opened the safe and got out the Hunter 10mm and a Match 38 Super top end. Fits like they built it that way. 38 Super slide fits flush with the Hunter frame. So it takes at least a 4.75" slide to play. The Hunter and Limited frame are the same except for color and magwell? I've known for years that the Match & Hunter frames were both LF guns but the raised checkering on the grip of the Hunter frame always thru me off when looking at it compared to the Match frame. Realality is the Hunter/Limited just has a full length dust cover compared to Match. This is no different than putting a compact slide on a Match frame. Da Now if the Limited Conversion Slide would come in from EAA i'd be a happy camper!
  16. $50 more and your there. Get the 9mm barrel reamed to 9x23 Winchester. All the advantages that Skydiver brought up BUT Can be loaded to a mid-range that equals all Big three manufactures in ballistics of their 357Sig ammo! Win. factory 9x23 ammo runs a little stronger than the 357 Mag! Because of the cost of 9x23 brass it will run in the <$11/50rd range to reload. VV has page in their reloading guide for the 9x23. Extremely accurate with 123-125gr bullets. Your RM might not like you shooting his Steel Plates with Win. Factory Q4304 JSP 9x23 ammo. 1460fps&587ftlbs. Hunter 10mm guide rods are really two pieces held together with a junk metal rivit. Very strange to see the front half of the guide rod fly three feet from the gun! Plus there funky looking!
  17. Shoot the three problem mags this weekend if you can. I think unloading and reloading will help also. Silcone spray--lightly--good cleaning. Henning Makes a H500-H550 base pad(shortys) that give that 15th or 16th round some wiggly room. Just a little longer than the stock base pad. They don't look stupid if you don't run a magwell on your Hunter. Has either your guide rod or R. sight screw broken in your hunter yet?
  18. How does the last round fit? 15 in the mag, one in the chamber. Does it hand cycle? Unload and reload the mag every 24 hrs. Do that until you go to the range and run that mag.
  19. Henning, I have railed and non-railed Match Frames, Both came with the Non-LPA, short stubby adj. rear sights(sport sight?) . I have a additional conversion slide with the LPA Supersights. Your new sight is to replace the LPA sights only? Will the Slide have to be Gunsmithed(recut) or do i just need a sight pusher? Sight cut in the two slides is completely different between the two types of sights. The FO sight you sent sent me for my Hunter works well for me, so i guess i'm going to need to go with your .095"x0.140" FO fronts to match up correctly to your new rear sights.
  20. My K10's did the same thing at fist, keep in mind 14+1 functional rds. is Max on the stock pads. Henning sells pads that do wonders for round count. Letting the full 14rds set for awhile does help.

    15 round magazines

    Could anybody post a couple pics of the 15rd CZ and Mec-Gar mag?
  22. You still might have breach face issues in the Hunter. EAA sells all caliber 6'' barrels. $190. Jim Milks at Innovative Custom Guns jim@innovativecustomguns.com reamed my 9mm barrel to 9x23 Win. Rich Dettelhouser at Cayon Creek rich@canyoncreekcustom.com can do it all! Both of these Smiths do excellent for on all Tangfolio guns! IF They have the correct reamer to go to 357Sig Let us know what you find out.. That's the only conversion i don't have that i'd like to get done.
  23. Full circle, barrrel cost $150. Match conversion slide cost $292. So for another $150 you get the slide, better rear sight, guide rod, spring and one mag! Good deal. Barrel swap works with some but not .45 to 9mm. 9mm to 38 Super works 10mm to .40 works .40 with 9mm reamed to 357 Sig works 9mm reamed to 9x23 works If your going to get into the conversion game, keeping the slides complete sure cuts doun on what spring went with what barrel, what guide rod goes where?
  24. The current /new large frame gun has a OD on the barrel of .590"
  25. Last summer "Long slide w/Super sights" ran $292 delivery to my PO Box, for the 9mm conversion for my Match. 6" barrel was $190. awcsilencers.com cut the 6'' barrel to 5 12" and then threaded it to 1/2x28 (most common tread pattern for suppressors). Thread protector is over the top. Bcause there's no machine line between the barrel and protector it's a visual shock to unscrew the end of the barrel and threads are underneath. Not a HK type looking protector. The Match is now just suppressor ready. The AWC Abraxas Titanium 9mm suppressor (see web) for me looks like the way to go. OAD is <1" so it fits under the stock sights on the Match.
