Youngeyes fixed it for me

Given enough time you probably would, I'm all stocked up at the moment, so don't count on me for any of them.

No Cheely used to make a specific Tanfoglio mount, he only does it for special runs now: if you buy a dozen he'll run them.

I love Clays for 135s, but with 147s I think it's right on the edge of over pressure; not that it's going to blow out the case, but what it sounds inconsistent: "bang, bang, bang, pop, bang"

That's the Cheely mount, but I also have an Alex mount and RTS2 I have yet to try:

The 22 mag is plastic and doesn't use base pads like the steel ones, I've make extended pads using fiberglass resin, but they were too brittle to be dropped.

9mm+P loads are generally ~150pf, I've shot thousands of rounds of 9 major at 170+PF in my CZ Open guns for years without issues, so I think you should be OK.

I've modified some .22 mags for the Henning magwell, there trouble is that they're so far up inside you can't reload at speed, slow fire is fine though.

Fair enough; since there's so much here unrelated to buying/selling/trading, why not leave this one here and start a new thread in the classified forum: "EAA/Tanfoglio Chop Shop Buy/Sell/Trade"?

If you use the SKU from EAA you'll get the right mags from Cheaper Than Dirt, I've bought a bunch from them.

No reason to polish the cone, but the guide rod had the biggest effect.

It's all right here: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=191773

I noticed right out of the box you could feel the little ridges on the barrel and guide rod left by the lathe when you cycled the slide, so I polished them with increasing grit until I got a mirror finish with 2500 grit sand paper. The slide cycles like it's on ball bearings now

The pin hole is half a mm bigger in Tanfos, but I'm not one to discourage innovation

I recently had a virgin 9mm Stock III drop into my lap, so I decided to use it to illustrate the effect of parts and polishing. Here's factory: Double Action: Single Action: Then I installed the following parts: From Eric's shop: -Titan hammer -XL firing pin -Hammer spring (light) -Firing pin spring (light) -CGW reduced power trigger return spring for CZ -CGW reduced power firing pin return spring for CZ (just right for plunger spring) -CZ sear spring -Limited Pro extended safety -Fiber optic front sight -old style wood grips Double Action: Single Action: Today I tore it all down and did some polishing similar to what I did in my CZ tuning thread: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=191773 In addition I polished the guide rod and barrel which I'd never done before, but really smoothed the cycle of the slide. I'm sure I could get more aggressive with the polishing or used a lighter hammer spring with coils clipped, but 100% reliability was my primary goal. Here are the numbers: Double Action: Single Action: A little heavier than my Shadows, but it feels pretty great!

Value is in the eye of the buyer I own two.

I've tried the three you list and the concealed is the best.

I've fit a brand new top end to a TS and it just took a little laping compound on the rails, I used 0.5 micron grit (50,000 grit). It was slow, but it turned out perfect

No My experience and the bulk of anecdotes I've read point to yes Mags are a must, extractor is probably not necessary

When I did my experiments, I used 115s over WAC, from 100pf to 170pf and could not find anything to brag about. ~145pf was the best, but was pretty hard in the hand and no flatter than factory ammo.

Some Italian chrome

A better way to ensure you won't damage the hooks or the sear is to hold the trigger to the rear and thumb the hammer back and forth; if you can feel the hooks and sear touching, back out the screw.

I agree, let me know if you want to buy some small sample packs, I have all kinds of bullets from 95gr to 160gr.

I played with a quad ported CZ and couldn't really see much reduction in muzzle rise.

Which powder are you loading? Clays works better with 135s in my experience.
