    Gas petal in production

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted · Edited by chaserracer

    So I want to come at this from a little different angle and give my input if for nothing else to maybe add a different perspective.

    I have an old moto racing injury(one of MANY)that left me with a severed ligament in my support hand thumb, apparently the one that gives you dexterity and vertical movement. I can still make a fist and apply downward/sideways pressure, but that's it. I cannot extend my thumb like the rest of my digits when I'm establishing my grip on the gun nor can I control the amount of sideways pressure put into the frame of the gun when gripping hard(as we do)and is something I have regularly struggled with from the beginning learning to shoot a pistol.

    I shoot a Tanfo Stock 2 and my thumb regularly jams into or hangs up on the slide stop lever, rides the slide and I have also had my thumb end up inside the trigger guard when training fast draws and reloads in dryfire.

    Recently at a match I was handling a friends limited gun that happened to have the Nitro fin on it and I can honestly say that was the most comfortable and firm grip I have been able to apply onto a pistol - EVER. It felt amazing - I actually felt like I could repeatedly put my support hand in the same place with even amounts of grip pressure.

    So personally for me it has zero to do with the effects or benefits it has on recoil control and has absolutely everything to do with finally having a place to put my thumb where it wont interfere with grip pressure,  how the gun tracks, or re-establishing my grip after a reload or running, etc.

    That being said, I am willing to do whatever necessary to comply within the rules with how this applies to production(i.e fitting the box, etc.)and have purchased one in the interim to test and experiment with. Cheers guys.

    Tanfoglio CZ SP 01 Clone?

    @billthemarine2862 Man you really came through on this - thank you very much. I think I'm gong to take a chance on one of these, The EGD extreme triggers are twice the price so I would like to see how they compare.

    I agree and personally tend to put too much torque on the factory trigger right where it hooks so I want to experiment with a flatter/straight trigger again.

    Thanks again!

    Tanfoglio CZ SP 01 Clone?

    in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

    Hi all, I came across this locally and originally thought it was a CZ but turns out its a Tanfoglio all steel DA/SA pistol...What interests me is that trigger profile, Id really like to try it on my stock 2 if I can find one. If anyone out there knows what this pistol model is called so I might be better informed in searching for that trigger - please let me know, it would be much appreciated!

    Anybody know how the Unica checkering compares to the Henning or LOK checkering? 

     

    The Unica checkering is tame at best.

    They are slightly rougher than the EGD extreme grips, not as grippy as the Henning grips and no where near the texture of the LOK bogie or checkered pattern grips.

    In my opinion the checkering was inconsistent and there were too many smooth areas on the grips for my preference.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Anyone on here right now that has both a stock 2 and cz shadow 2?

    OK, my Sp-01 and S2 use the same stop, that same stop works in the Stock II Extreme. 

    Now, what are you up to?   

    ...Its kind of complicated. My left thumb has no dexterity from an old injury and the thick robust slide stop on the Tanfo stock 2 really gives me problems and inconsistency's with my grip. Ive tried dremeling it down to match the flat specs of the CZ slide stops but then they are weakened and very fragile and prone to breaking easily (in my experience).

    I recently heard that the CZ shadow 2 slide stops are more durable and they definitely have that flat low profile shape I'm looking for so I have been really wanting to know if it would work in the stock 2
