I meant no disrespect, just conveying my experience.
i use the stock recoil spring personally.
none taken! Are you shooting factory ammo?

I’m a newbie pistol competitor, but hats besides the point.
I compete with Tanfos...I own stock 1,2,3 and Lim Pros.
heres my advise: keep your gun as stock as possible. Everything you do to your gun (trigger jobs, reduced spring weights, etc) builds unreliability into your platform. From occasional light strikes (trigger job w reduced springs), to failure to go into battery (too light a recoil spring).
i have a stock one set up for CO...it’s completely stock and completely reliable.
I’m not new I just took a break, but no way I’m ever gonna compete with a stock tanfo trigger, they’re garbage! I was an early adopter of the stock 2 right after Ben started shooting one, Eric taught me what all he does to them so that as a EGD dealer I could work on them, and I worked on a whole bunch of them for a whole bunch of really good shooters. All I’m trying to figure out is what # recoil spring dudes are running with an optic as I have zero slide ride experience!

Been outta the game for about 5 years and am contemplating a comeback, which obviously requires a new gun and division.
Plan is to slap a dot on a stock 3 and shoot some CO (possibly). Going through my old inventory of parts I've got a lot of what I need to jaz this sucker up, but when I was looking at recoil springs I started to wonder if the weight of the dot effected which recoil spring weight I should be using? My stock 2's in production all have 9 or 10 pound springs. Is that gonna fly or do I need to think about something else?

Heads up about the Titan. I know Eric's site says they are drop in, but I've found 2 that catch the sear on the half cock notch and required a little fitting. As with everything on these guns, it seems there is never a "one size fits all" solution. Just keep an eye out for it.
I've been talking to Eric a lot about this issue, and my boy Brandon and I have also been trying to work through it. Unfortunately I don't have anything significant to report yet.

you can get the single sided safeties in the Standard, Extended, and Gold Team lengths. As was already stated, they are interchangable on all of the elite series large frame guns (Stock II, Stock II, Lim Pro, Limited, Gold Team ect). They are factory parts and are production legal.
I have the ambi Gold Team safities in Silver in stock if you want one. I have all of the rest avaiable in Black, single or ambi.

Oh, and I have small hands!

I didn't like it at first, but the more I shoot it the more I love it. I think I just had so many reps on the factory trigger it took some getting used to. It doesn't change pull length or weight, but it does change the point at which it breaks. Moves it forward and I jerk this less!

I would NOT put springs from a bic pen in my gun, but that's just me.

Last Round Armament LLC stocks EGD, Henning, and factory EAA parts for these guns.
New website should be ready to go in the next few days.

This video was made for a specific guy having a specific feed problem, I don't think it was supposed to be universal. If you are having feed problems you might want to look at the mags a little harder, if you're not having feed issues then you don't need to worry about it.

I just purchased a Stock II and I love the Xtreme grips. Is there a place to purchase them stateside or do they have to be ordered from Italy?
I have Black and Silver sets in stock, message me if interested.
-
I left the plunger spring as is but plan to buy a reduced power set. I was surprised at how powerful that spring is. Henning sells the kit of three.
I couldn't find those plunger springs on Henning's site. Could you share a link?
I've got them!!!!
-
The one on the far right, is Tanfo Xtreme pad or Stoeger or something else?
The orange gun and the far right black gun both have Stoeger base pads on the mags.

Here's some of my tanfo porn, a gaggle of duces!

I thought armscore was pretty big? I knew EAA was small, no idea about Tanfoglio.
That said, what would stop Eric from coming to the US (assuming he could get a visa or citizenship), and then starting a new company bringing all of his experteise with him. I'm sure it would be cost effective to buy new equipment rather than to bring over whatever he has (if he even has anything?).
-
Liking to move to the US and actually getting it done are two different things. As easy as it may be for Mexicans to get into the US illegally, its a lot harder then you think for a non-US resident to take up legal residence in the US. Its even harder yet to bring a non-US business into the US. Usually that kind of stuff only happens when large corporations are backing the situation.
Like Tanfoglio, EAA, Armscore?
-
Yes, extremely.

You mean stack a piece of the old spring in there? My Extreme pin works fine with a cut firing pin spring. This pin needs extra spring to keep it from getting weird? Silly italian guns!
If you lay a pile of factory firing pin springs down side by side you'll notice that there is a great degree of variation between spring length. Because of this you can't just say "take factory spring and cut X number of coils and it's goot to go". Furthermore, when you clip a new spring down to the edge and then that spring sets/settles, it's often then too short. I've seen as much as 1/4" difference in a batch of springs between the longest and shortest spring in the batch.
I'm trying to get the xtreme springs in a gun and test them this week. I will say that in the 50 sets of medium and 50 sets of light xtreme springs I got, they are all with in a 1/16" or less in length variation at the max. 95% are 1/32" or less. Seems the Xtreme springs are much more uniformally made.
-
I've heard that Eric would like to move to the US and I can't imagine him coming over without bringing his business with him. I don't think this would change the Tanfo/EAA relationship in any way, but I do think you'd be able to get parts and smithing directly from Eric's US based shop.

Really hard to tell from that picture, I think it's the extended.
-
If you want a kit for this I can hook that up, I have the new Xtreme firing pin springs, hammer springs, and firing pins.
-
Try the new Xtreme hammer spring and firing pin spring combo's. They are supposed to greatly help the trigger situation.

TanfoUSA coming soon!
Well maybe not soon, but it's being discussed pretty hard and the guy who would head it up knows his stuff.

Back when I was dealing in tanfo parts EAA screwed up almost every single order I placed for internals. They were awful about just sending whatever random bunch of crap they pulled out of the drawer. It became quickly apparent we knew more about the guns and parts than they did and that was frustrating to say the least. I'm sure it's changed now since Eric is with CZ, but back then, Eric was the only way to get the right parts or the parts EAA never had. He could get anything you wanted in any quantity you wanted it in and when it showed up it was the right stuff.
