Glad to hear you are liking it.
I prefer VV 3n38, 124gr bullet at average of 168-169pf. Lower and it becomes sluggish, higher pf it becomes harsher without any added benefit. That is just my personal preference and there are many factors that play a part.

Any more information about this? Where to get them?

If someone dont like the increased stroke add a buffer to decrease it.

I really like the M-arms magwell.

my upper is from Fire4Effect, and they are no longer in business but I was able to reach them on Facebook. He mentioned once I fit the barrel in, and swap out extractor, should be gtg, so I don't THINK so? I was using the .40 S&W extractor without any issues but swapped it out for the sake of having all 9mm parts in there. Maybe I need to look at the 40 extractor and see how different the shapes are compared to 9mm extractor.
As I explained in the previous posts, please read that through. The breach face dimensions are different, unless you are really lucky, just swapping extractor does not cut it. Adjust depth to achieve the required "pinch".

- bought it used
- only factory parts have been used here (Tanfoglio Xtreme)
- sear is in position, trigger is going fully forward
- I haven't made any adjustments to the gun except I replaced the trigger and sear springs with original Tanfoglio springs few days ago because someone suggested it (didn't cause any more issues, everything stayed the same)
Since I live in Europe I can order directly from Italy.
I tend to replace the sear, hammer and trigger with Tanfoglio Unica parts, they offer a full kit.
Photos here: https://imgur.com/a/ryil2cVThanks a lot for all the help, much appreciated!
Hi,
Checked the pictures, the sear is clearly worn out.
-
Just a possible thing to check for.
Someone has set the trigger overtravel set screw too tight, forcing the sear and hammer hooks to rub while disengaging. If this is going on for a while the surface hardening can be worn through causing the top edge of the hammer hooks to round of (or sear lower edge) this can show itself as hammerfollow.

Hi,
I am checking to see if there is a interest in a good comp for Tanfos with a PD barrel.

Hi Ludde - advice is welcome, a stronger spring or perhaps a few file strokes on the small inside edge of the extractor between the hook and pin hole, which rests against the frame?
Generally speaking I would stay away from extra power extractor springs, unless there is something wrong that would require it, such as e.g. rough chamber surface, if using extra power extractor spring it is important to check that you do not get problems with feeding. Usually they require good magsprings as well because it has to push the case with more force up from the mag in under the extractor (extractor has to move out of the way a tad).
In your case, most likely a stronger extractor spring will have no positive impact on the extraction. You extractor is most likely already bottoming out on the extractor depth pad that contacts the extractor slot in the slide.
What you need to do is to gently remove some material from the extractor depth pad to allow for the extractor to move in deeper and thus being able to apply some tension to the case rim while it is being extracted.
As it is now your extractor slips of the rim when the case rim is moving away from the extractor before it is stopped by the opposit side of the breach face.The extractor depth should be such that it has to move out just a little bit when the case rim is slid up under the extractor.

Ah…that’s probably it…question is how to adjust depth of extractor. Slightly longer spring to push extractor edge inward? Suggestions welcome.
Let me know if you need some guidance.
-
This is because of .40 breachface dimensions (assuming you are still using a .40 slide)!
Check dimensions & compare to 9mm then you will realize the differences. the 9mm extractor does not go deep enough into the rim since the case rim can move away from the extractor since the breach face is wider than on a 9mm.There are possible work arounds for this by adjusting the depth of the 9mm extractor.

Unfortunately family issues forced me to withdraw from Nationals, but I've got 1 local match under my belt with the DS9Open. The gun ran flawlessly. Denny Chapman, the horseback champion and former contestant on Top Shot put some rounds downrange with it after the match so I could watch it recoil. He's not an Open shooter and said the dot tracked with minimum movement and I watched the slide jump just ever so slightly. I'm learning the euro grip so I hunted for the dot on a couple draws but garage dryfire will fix that. I really like the grip texture. The trigger is phenomenal, under 2 pounds (1lb 10oz) and clean and crisp. I'm more than pleased.
Whats the Euro grip? Asking for a friend.. and by the way I am European and have not heard about that.

I recommend checking these out also. They are really good.

More CZ open stuff.
After 49 days of waiting, my Robin Sebo Ti Czechmate comp showed up this week: my first impression: woah sparks!
I've owned Ti comps before and never noticed sparks thrown out the ports, but I'm told it's par for the course. It may be slightly flatter, but the harder hit in the hand combined with the noise and sparks results in a violent affair. I still want to shoot it at speed and see how much of that I notice, but all in all its a quality product and an improvement over the factory steel comp.

Sorry for the late reply, my business and stupid new corona rules for the gyms kept me awake 24/7.
i use my czechmate in the factory configuration. There was only one other recoil spring that seems weaker to me and does not change the firing behavior of the weapon.
3n38 is a slightly more specific problem.
the prices for powder in Germany have gone through the roof and 1 kg of 3n38 costs me almost 200€ while SP2 is even more affordable at 120€.
1000 SPM Primers are about 150€ and if I choose a powder even more expensive things get dirty….. I want to thank everyone else very much. I'll try to lower the charge a bit and see if that brings an improvement.
Maybe i will give the Sebo Comp a Try.
If you are in europe and shoot ipsc try closer to 165pf and as slow powder as you can find within reason. 20lb hammer spring an 9lbs recoil spring to begin with then start tweaking from there.
Another option is to try different grips and improve recoil control perhaps.

Good morning enos team!
After my last unfortunate trip to the open division with a 2011 i'm finally back with a Czechmate.
The gun runs perfectly and has served me well in 11 major matches.
I installed a brass magazine well as well as an alternative optics mount with a holosun 510 c gr from Sebo.My current load is 8.7 gr Vectan SP2 behind a 121 gr Frontier bullet.
Power factor measured 173.Personally, I find the behavior of my Dot to be very wild. Other shooters confirm this as well. My question would be how do I proceed. Another compensator from Sebo? It seems to have less Space for Gas than the original? a member of this board once said to me if you don't like what your compensator does you need more gas, but I don't think this will lead to success here?
Any Ideas?
Try e.g. VihtaVuori 3n38 and keep it around 168 pf.
Some thoughts below..
I have my own perception from testing different comps and combinations. The comp design is crucial, more gas might not be better (depends on your whole setup).
I have not tested the sebo one but from the looks of it I would assume it being a tad more effective, however due to less weight it might not slow the slide/barrel down much compared to the original steel one (steel one slowing down slide/barrel velocity also due to weight/inertia). In general a more effective (assumption) comp like the Sebo one and lower the PF below 170pf to get overall bullet velocity down and counter reaction slide/barrel movement speed.By the way, what lbs hammer and recoilspring are you using?

You could ask JJ directly via a dm on instagram

I believe that JJ Racaza uses a Guga Ribas holster when he shoots his Beretta open.

I have this on my Shadow 2 open gun and they have a version for TS/Czechmate

This seasons version of the Shadow 2.
Titanium compensator with long steel cone.
Slide further shortened and lightened (~250gram).
20lbs main 9 lbs recoil spring, oem firing pin retaining plate.
Out of all the versions I've made this is the softest and flattest thus far.
-
You mentioned that it is stroke from the factory compared to other Tanfos. What is the total slide travel (stroke) on the Domina?
-
This is a adapter plate version I designed for a friends OR with the same type of optic. This keeps it a bit lower and further back.
