Do Open Tanfoglio guns in 9mm Major crack often?
BiggMike replied to Cy Soto's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
Get a Trubor. At least this way you have room for small tweaks. -
PBCASTER45, since the dummy round has no primer and you are pulling the trigger; the firing pin is getting caught in the flash hole of the dummy round. This happened to me also when I was checking my mags. I would recommend adding a used primer to your dummy rounds. Make sure you check your firing pin.

+1 on Black Bullet International.

Powder Valley has HS-6 in 1lbs and 8lbs. You better get it now, I got 16 lbs this morning and it still shows available this afternoon. Hurry up!!!!

+1 on putting a little more bell on the brass.

+1 on this. I just chrono'd my new round this morning. 8.0gr HS-6,OAL 1.165 and 125gr BBI bullet. My PF is between 171 and 175, rough avg is about 1390fps through a Trubor 9mm. Please back your load down some and retest.

Production Questions for you Stock II/III shooters
BiggMike replied to praetorian97's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
BladeTech makes a holster for the Stock III. You have to call them. I have one and it took me about 3 weeks to get it. -

Swapped out my Super Sight for a fixed today
BiggMike replied to Intercooler2's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
The one I got from Dawson is a Henning sight. Just remember it is sighted in for 15 yards. -
I wonder how that little release lever on the basepad will work with the Henning magwell.
-
+1 on this. I shoot a Tanfoglio Limited. It is about 43-45 oz. The recoil is nothing.

I "got by" without a racker for a few years - LOVE my new racker ... Used to leave each match with blood on my hands from racking the TruBor and clearing malfunctions, until I got the racker. Well worth the few pesos. Can you post a picture of your slide racker.I want to get one for my Trubor.

Brazos told me probably May or June for the first deliveries.One would have think they would have an inventory started to meet the first set of orders.

That's how I felt when I got my STI. I honestly thought something was wrong but I took it to a gunsmith friend of mine and he told me it was only fired a few times. It still had the factory grease on it. I love it when I finally get in on a good deal.
-
+1. That is the weight of mine and I had mine tweaked a little. I thought I could find a way to get it down for IDPA.
-
The serial number was checked......lol.
-
The guy I got it from had to move it and needed to make a sale quick.
-
Actually I got the mags for free. That was a surprise to me. A big stick and 4 other mags. Of course the STI was more than the GT but the free mags made it easy. A GT build is in the works.

Well I did make the jump. I found a good price on a brand new STI Trubor in 9mm major, I will be hands on today. I really wanted to stay with the Tanfoglio for open but the price of the new barrel , comp and mags (especially 170mm mags) made the choice for me. When everything worked out; the Trubor was slightly cheaper and it is just more options on the STI platform. I am planning to build a Tanfoglio open gun but I want to plan it out. Thanks everyone for all the help.

1.125 works pretty good to.
-
Thanks guys. I think I'm going the 38Super route, I know I can get a top end but I want a purpose built gun for open.. I looked up a Trubor and it is $2700 before mags and everything else. If I stay with the Tanfoglio, then I will probably have enough to get that Dillon 1050 I was looking at. I'm so nervous that I might just stay with limited and call it good.
-
Where did you get your mags from?
-
Guys, thanks for all the input. It looks like I will be getting a GT but now the fun part; it seems as though 38 Super will make major with no problems but 9mm major is cheaper. So I guess I'm asking is making major with 9mm to close to the line in the GT? I'm trying to avoid sending the gun off to a smith to change the barrell or plug up holes. I've done a search and I have heard alot of people are kind of scared to push the 9mm cartridge to far. I was thinking with a 125gr bullet, I'll need to hit roughly 1350 - 1375 fps on a constant basis to make major. I know 9mm +p+ is roughly 1400 fps per second, however; I have shot that round and I felt like it was going to blow up in my hand. What's a good powder to drive a 9mm that fast? Right now I have N320, Power Pistol and Blue Dot. Once again thanks for the input.

I need a little help. I want to try the open division but I am torn. I have 4 Tanfoglios for limited and IDPA but I want to play in open. I would like to stay with Tanfoglio but I have been reading that making 9mm major is hit or miss. Seeing that I might buy a Trubor or the new STI DVC but I would like to stay with what I know. Has anyone been able to make 9 major safely and if so, how has the Gold Team been holding up. Also, what is the mag situation for the Gold Team; does anyone sell big sticks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
