Does this even exist? I have a custom kydex holster, but find it uncomfortable. I also don't seem to have any custom leather guys within an hour of me. It's a newer full size match with rail. Went to local gun store and we tried every holster that might work, none did. Any one know where to find one, or a custom leather guy that has a match, and could make me a holster. Thanks in advance and Apologies if this is in wrong forum.

I have been carrying my match 10mm some(did put on thinner grips that I like better than factory rubber ones), but its huge and uncomfortable. I can't decide between steel or polymer, compact or carry. Any one have any experience with any of these? Will be in 45 or 10mm I lean towards 10mm pretty heavilly though. I have never shot either of these models and my local gun stores dont stock them so I cant oogle them and decide. Worried about the shorter grip on the compact but the grip is the hardest part to keep concealed. ???? Any advice or experience is appreciated
-
Thanks guys I think Ive got it figured now. The idea to pull out the sear cage is a great one!
-
The safety lever has never switched positions on me on its own but it moves pretty easily. Is there a way to make it more positive? Im looking at a "garfield" shaped hole that the captive plunger toggles between. Could i just make one of "garfields"ears a little deeper? Im reluctant to do this(permanent frame mod) without running it buy guys who know these things better than I do Thanks in advance

My match isn't nearly as positive as I would like for cocked and locked carry. It also has never came off on its own. I beleive there is a spring and detent ball under it. A stiffer spring might up the feel.
-
I had the 40 thought also but it seems widely beleived to be unsafe, although I cant quite figure out how it is unsafe. I asked on another forum and it went 4 pages on how it would work but isn't safe.

Trying to feel out all neccasary parts for a 10 to 40 swap. Does anyone know the average max oal that will fit into a 40 cal witness chamber and run reliably. How about the minimum OAL that will feed reliably through a k10 magazine? Getting a $185 barrel only hurts some, a $185 barrel and then $75 worth of magazines hurts more. Thanks for your patience in answering all my stupid questions.
-
Got to wondering if 40 long might be the cheapest answer. Load a heavy bullet out as long as possible. In mine a 180 MG JHP hits the rifling at 1.280. guess it would out of 40 brass also????
-
What about the mag's? can I run 40 thru my 10mm magazines? Would i have to load them long? Any one have any luck with this?
-
I have one and it is amazing in almost everyway. However It is limited minor in uspsa. The SA makes it limited, the 9mm makes it minor. (I just try not to miss, but the scoring is agggrevating)
-
I have a match in 9mm I have been using in limited division uspsa. I bought a 10mm LS on gbroker. With the cost of 10mm brass and availability I'm looking into a 40 option. I like the idea of getting a 6in barrel and adding an extension (compensator like style without the barrel ports) to extend the sight radius. I have 2 k10 mags, the price of mags would factor into this final cost number I need 3 total.

I've been trying to get my hands on some of the new plastic grips to trim up my Match for awhile now. The other day I found a company that sells a composite grip for the Witness, https://coppergungrips.com/. They purchase page took me to gunbroker a little odd but I've bought enough to be comfortable with broker. So $34 dollars and 5 days later they're here. Mine took a little trimming to fit to my liking, they trim easy enough and come in a lava rock or grip tape texture, 10 colors. Any way heres the nuts and bolts of it I measured the width of my old rubber and new plastic ones at 4 spots. Now I like they feel of these shape wise and they are considerably thinner.
Rubber Copper gun grips
1.397 1.201
1.383 1.248
1.385 1.288
1.387 1.318
Now none af these numbers can be exact and their is more to grip feel than width alone, But you can shape plastic much easier than rubber and they're priced to experiment. Anyway heres the pictures the blue lines are where i measured at with calipers.
I am not a paid anything, Just thought someone else might have been searching for thin plastic grips also, This site has helped me numerous times just looking to try and give back a little

Thanks Cha lee, I hate wasting my time worse than my money. Probly just saved me some of each.

I did a quick search but didnt get the result I was looking for. I have an old red follower frt spacer mag in 9mm Ive been using as a barney mag, since it does that reliably! I ordered a 10mm conversion kit from gbroker, can i dremel out that spacer and easily enough modify the feed lips to use this junk 9mm mag for the 10mm. If it matters i also have a grams spring follower kit I ordered in error laying around hand. Any one ever try this is it worth it for the $30???? THANKS GUYS,

Thanks fellas.. I got some of the IBC sized 356 theyre alloy is supposed to be 16-18. I got the least amount of leading pushing them hard, but still am not satisfied. was hoping to get it right on my second try. important stats my bore .3558 theyre 356 125 gr bullet .3565 128gr incl the lube. had to oal of 1.050 in my match or wouldnt go fully into battery every time. Might try the 357 ones next as I like the snappier loads.

1k cast $55 from indianabullet company paid $100 for 1k rainers. Not got the funds to get into the bulk saving at the moment.

I realize this might seem better suited for the reload forum, but I'm only interested in whaty works well in the tanfoglio's. I'm looking to start saving money and go jacketless and figured you guys would know what was a waste o money and what works well. Bullet, wieghts, and loads would be appeciated. Barrel slugged .3558
Thanks fellas
(if this is out of line or not for this forum I'm sorry)

The follower was tilted right a little tried to straighten it up plus a little. Im sure i tried to push the 24th in so probably did suffer operator error more than equip malfunction. Will try and keep better count. Any idea on location for a witness hole for 23 i could drill in mag body?(like glock mags maybe)
-
Awesome ive got a one of a kind problem. My shooting buddy has a glock with a similar setup obviously not from henning but 23 rounders, he picked up my mag and said one of mine did that, bet your followers tilted sideways. I blew him off cause he's shooting completely different stuff, kooky he called it like that though. Could i have bent the spring by trying to jam a 24th one in there?
-
I recently aquired a 141 base pad from hennings(love that guy) and after some hiccups , I have the correct gramms follower kit with TS on the follower. Took it to the match today and everything was sunshine and rainbows until the last stage, fail to feed and my mag was now a shell spewing rattle(at least as i tossed it it was) Upon inspection I found that the last 2 rounds were side by side and jammed up deep down in the mag (forgot to measure to see if lined up with mag body follower joint). And the follower had turned sideways with the right side tilted down and left side up. Round on right was higher than one on left by a little mag wasn't filthy looking(dont hit new k9 mags with brake clean the anti friction coating doesnt like it) What can i do to prevent this? It didnt cost me the match (because i suck) but it was upsetting. Thanks in advance fella's ps if it matters lost count when loading and loaded until couldnt get another on in asssuming that means 23.
-
thanks I had that thought. The spring coils measured bigger also. So off to hennings shop i go Thanks fellows.
-
The follower says grams-T on it and measures 1.252 long. Wondering if maybe I got the one for mags without the spacer(mine is in 9mm) (. Tried to measure the factory follower at the legs got 1.116ish, but there aren't 2 flat spots on it to measure!
-
one on right is factory k9
