  1. I own 7 different Tanfoglios.  Mine have proven to be just as reliable as any of my other CZs, Caniks, Stars, Smith & Wessons, Berettas......you get the point. Tanfoglios are my favorite. Just fit my hand very well. The issue your going to run into is holster options. You will be hard to find many options well suited for CCW. 

     

    Trust me this issue can be a pretty significant issue. I've carried a Star Firestar Plus for over a decade. Love the gun, but holster options are far and few between.  My newer carry, CZ 75 Compact has way more options. 

     

    Just something to think about. 

  2. I just moved from FT Hood to Washington state. Temple Gun Club shoots USPSA every 3rd Saturday. 

     

    Not USPSA but Copperas Cove pistol club puts on outstanding matches. They shoot every Saturday except the 3rd. 

     

    2nd Saturday was my favorite. Falling Steel match kinda Pro Am style. They don't use Practiscore at Cove. 

     

    Also there is an email list that lots of clubs use to announce matches, people sell stuff etc. txipsc@txipsc.net

     

    Tons of shooting in that area enjoy.

    Have you had a chance to check the reliability with the 11lb hammer spring yet?

    So far the 11lb has set off Federal, Winchester and S&B Primers no problem.  Last match I shot the LTT during tear down I found what I am pretty sure was  a Tula round on the ground. I picked it up and put in my pocket till the end of the match to test...it even fired it. Granted that was only run sample of that. But the Federals, Winchester's and S&Bs all have went bang. 

  4. Picked up a LTT. Very nice gun I have no regrets. I bought the LTT with trigger job. Great out of the box.....but of course you have to tinker.

     

    Out of the box 13 lbs hammer spring.

    Single 3 lbs 7 oz

    Double 6 lbs 13 oz

     

    12 lbs hammer spring

    Single 3 lbs 4.4 oz

    Double 6 lbs 4.2 oz

     

    11 lbs hammer spring

    Single 2 lbs 13 oz

    Double 5 lbs 8 oz

     

    Checked with a Lyman digital trigger gauge. Buttery smooth. I will keep mine. Have not had a chance yet to check the reliability of the 11 lbs hammer spring. 

  5. Before you drop money on a trigger. Try just the light JP competition springs for 11 bucks or so. I have to PCCs. One with Hyperfire 3g and one with polished mil-spec and the forementioned springs. 

     

    Hyperfire is better but to be honest  when shooting I do not notice. But that combo of springs and polish drastically improves your typical mil spec trigger.

    I had both. Grip on new LC is better. Slide cuts nice. New coating sucks. If you want I can show you pictures of wear after roughly 12.000 rounds... I don't care that much btw. It's a tool.

    From price point of view older model wins.

     

    New model in blue is a smurf gun (you have to be Italian to appreciate) but who cares... Black is nice though!

     

    I like the platform even though QC sucks. I have a RHT holster and my gun doesn't fit well, whilst my buddy's gun (serial number 1 higher) fits perfectly.... Can you imagine?

     

    Nevertheless, buy with confidence but do see a gunsmith to make trigger right. I have one with 1,3 kilo trigger pull and one tuned bu Sebastien (Eric Grauffel's gun smith) with under 900 grams and amazing...

    What exactly is the blue coating? Some kind of paint? I'm guessing Tanfoglios version of cerakote but was not sure. I have 2 older hard chrome limited. Not sure you can get a better finish. It wears great. 

  7. I agree with you that it is a bull barrel on the Xcalibur. But so is the Sig per their own website. IDPA has some BS rules. It's just frustrating is all. Just like why can't I shoot my 5 inch 625? But a PCC is allowed. I for one don't get it IDPA. It's the least fun shooting sport for me. But it beats not shooting.
