Many of you travel long distances to shoot matches routinely. I do it about twice a year. I'd rather shoot than watch.

Gump, thanks for the link, looks like you've already walked a mile in my shoes .

I've seen a number of things go wrong with my friends' more expensive guns. I've always shot a glock and had a spare gun. Didn't need one because, well, it was Glock. I'm new to the Tanfos.
-
So I finally landed a Stock II in 9mm and I'm happy. Problem is, if it goes down in a match I don't have a backup. So the question for those of you who have run Tanfos for a while is: what spare parts should I have in my bag?

Great thread Chic,
It's impressive to see how far you've come in such a short amount of time. I knew you practiced a lot, but I'm learning a lot from you about taking the time to analyze and document your discoveries and use that information to guide your next session. See you at the range!

Dawson would have given you +5.

Don't grind the tabs, it's not necessary. Use a steel punch that matches the diameter of the hole in the floor plate and pop the plate off. With new mags it takes a LOT of effort, but after a few times, they can be removed pretty easily.
-
If you're shooting production, go with a SS guide rod and the spring weight that matches your load (seems like most use 13#).

Completed part 1 with an 8.92 avg, way too many Charlies!!! PM sent. Looking forward to Part 2!!
-
I've got three years out of mine and counting, without mag-related issues. I do disassemble and clean them after ever practice/match though. Now that the price of mags has come back to earth perhaps it's time to invest in a few new ones.

Blade tech makes a good holster and I like my Safariland.

Purchase a SS guide rod.

Good call on the FO sights. You won't be disappointed.
-
They have fixed sights as well, but take a look at their adjustable rear with fiber optic inserts.
-
Dawson makes a very good adjustable rear sight.

Thanks for the tip on the striker channel.
-
Even with the slide stop lever installed correctly, an improper grip will push it up and lock the slide on you. Installing the flatter lever will help, but a better grip will allow you to take advantage of the wider lever in competition without the risk of slide lock. Ask me how I know, haha.

Shoot off the reset and your groups will tighten nicely.

Welcome from the other side of Washington!!

Didn't care for the sight picture and most people think the factory sights are not durable enough. Thus the investment in a set of FO sights. It was a good choice for me. But you need to do what's best for you, that's why there's so many options in the marketplace.
-
But very happy with a Gen3 G34 for now.
-
Would consider a single stack 9 if it ever becomes a reality.
-
Match your recoil spring the PF of your ammo. If you're shooting factory ammo, I would suggest staying with the 17# spring (DO get a SS guide rod, though). Going to a 13# spring will leave the gun with less resistance to the slide and will just beat up your frame. If you choose to reload to minor power factor, then a 13# spring is a good idea. If you load to minor power factor with a factory spring, there is a risk of failure to eject.

There is a rounded plunger for sale by zev. In my experience it has functioned nicely.
Spare Parts Recommendation - Stock II
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

Thanks all for the tips, much appreciated! I now know what to pick up.
