A brass catcher comes to mind... I have a couple of home-made ones that work fairly well. They don't have a 100% capture rate, but they do arrest the flight of those errant empties headed for the county line... They're ok for target work - not so much for an action stage.

Thanks for your response, Skydiver. I can see that muzzle flip and transition speed would be of concern to more sophisticated shooters/ competitors. I've got a ways to go before those things bother me... I was curios because I didn't recall seeing any threads that dealt with slide to frame fit, wear patterns, short vs long rail systems, etc,. Thanks again, zaxx

Hello everyone, This is my first post. However, I have been lurking for some time. My apologies. I am also relatively new to the world of Tanfoglio. I have an Elite Match. By nosing around on this forum I am learning some of the "ins and outs," "do's and don'ts" of upgrades I am considering for my pistol. Even though my skillset will never tax the capability the gun as it comes new, right out of the box, I see no harm in upgrades... Therefore, I appreciate the candor of the posters who have been there before me! I'd like to get member's thoughts regarding dust cover length. i.e., does the longer bearing surface of the Limited frame offer a mechanical advantage over that of the Match frame? Does the longer frame mitigate the rocking tendency of the slide during recoil - flatten the path of the slide? Does it even matter? Just curious... Thanks, zaxx
