Hey all, I just got an Accu Shadow, and it looks great. But I’m also missing my Stock II I used to have. The grip on the Accu is thinner than I like. Im wondering what the experts say on my dilemma. Can a Stock II ever reach the potential of the Accu Shadow in accuracy, or more importantly, trigger feel? If it’s close, any thoughts what minimum upgrades to a new Stock II to get near that level?? Thanks for any insight!!

Well, I see that, but that’s not it. It is fully hard chrome finish, same as Stock I/II. Another strange thing is the font “LIMITED CUSTOM” are the same size, something I haven’t seen online. So anyway, not really sure.

Hey all, At my favorite LGS, they received a shipment from EAA. They got in a couple Limited's and a Stock II. But, one that I hadn't seen was a hard chromed Limited Custom 9mm. It looks similar to ones on the site, but this one has "LIMITED CUSTOM" stamped on the side. Haven't seen from any searching online. Is this just the current Limited model? It doesn't say "Xtreme" anywhere, so I doubt that. It was SA, has the magwell and is tapped for an optic. Price was right at $1k. Any info to this model? Thanks!

Howwwwwwww lonnnnnng must we wait with all this tempting!!! Aghhhhhhh

Ok! So the results! Used Berrys plated 100gr hollow base. Tried Titegroup and WST. Found that the plunk test is very important! My first loads were to 1.15" and those wouldn't even chamber. Crazy how short those bullets need loaded in this gun. Meanwhile, the ones loaded to 1.055" did work. Obviously at this OAL I stuck to the minimum powder charge to avoid pressure issues. I did two loads of each. Titegroup 3.5gr and 3.8gr, WST 3.1gr and 3.3gr. The results seem to be WST feels noticeably softer. All cycled the action with a 8lbs spring. But Titegroup was very much noticeably snappier. Not exactly what I was expecting. The charges with a step up from minimum did group better with very little change in felt recoil. So, it appears the winner is WST 3.3gr with this particular bullet. I've now gone out and gotten the 147gr and a 124gr to try as well as added a lbs of HP-38/W231 to try with that. Interested in seeing the recoil difference. Thanks!

Hey all, I decided to do the plunk test today. I cannot get the brass to spin until I hit 1.055". Is this normal? Also, rounds won't drop when turned upside down till I get to about this level. I have seen some posts about reaming out the chambers on these guns but don't recall for sure. 1.055" seems to be below a lot of published minimum OAL numbers. Trying to figure out if this is normal or not normal. Or maybe I'm doing the plunk test wrong?? =( Thanks all!

Titegroup, WST, N320

Hmmm. Looks interesting. Might consider trying this.

I can't tell the difference between the SIII and the Limited. Had both. Just preference.

Found good deal on 100gr copper. Gonna try something there

Did some searching, finally figured out how to search decently, so it looks like people are using even 380 weight bullets over a fast powder. I assume that's the same common knowledge? Any good recipes for <115gr?

Hey all, Any thoughts on this? Shooting Steel Challenge and I'm all out of 9mm components, so I want to start fresh with whatever is best. I want a light shooting 9mm that will be reliable in my Stock II. I have springs ranging from 6lbs-14lbs so I can play with that as well to match a lite load. I often see a lot of people loading 124gr or 147gr in the 9mm for competition, but is going lighter better for steel challenge? We're running steel that falls on .22LR so going too light isn't really an issue. Also, there is no minimum PF. I'm not opposed to running coated lead or whatever those "Laser Cast" bullets are either. I've used that extensively in my .45 loadings for my bullseye 1911. I currently have Titegroup, WST, Bullseye, WSF on hand as far as powders. I'm not opposed to buying other powder if someone has a sweet loading. Thanks for any help all! Aaron

Hey all you Tanfoglio experts! So, I bought a 2015 Stock II locally. The original owner described having a few FTE issues but had ordered a bunch of Wolff springs to try to fix it. He switched to a 9lbs and added the XP extractor spring. Still had some issues with FTE. Ordered in a 6 and 7lbs spring. That's when I bought it. So, I forgot about this and took it to a steel match today. This was my first chance to fire it. It was also cleaned prior to shooting. Anyway, I managed a FTE every 5-7 rounds. I switched from 6lbs-12lbs and everything in between. Nothing seemed to help. Sometimes you'd get 7 rounds, somethings only 2 between failures. The fired brass wasn't totally pushed in, but loosely in the chamber. I had to lock back the slide, drop the mag with the top round attempting to feed, drop the slide and then it would eject on pulling the slide back. I looked a lot on my phone and saw some people having issues with their extractors. Possibly a burr or just to polished enough to be reliable. At first thought that this was the problem. Then, on the last stage of the match, I ran out of the brand new 115gr Blazer Brass I was shooting today. I then shot with 115gr Blazer steel cased. Those ejected 100%. So! Is it just the Blazer brass??? Should I still pull the extractor and just polish? I want to make sure this one is figured out by next month's match, so wanted to get your thoughts! I didn't think Blazer Brass was that bad, but if it's something special, I can avoid it. I do want to switch to my reloads by next month anyway. Thanks for any help! Aaron

That's so crazy about the dry-up of Stock and Lim Pro's! I hope something comes in soon before too long.

I would definitely say that if you're planning on doing the BOLO as well as the other trigger parts, I would go with a basic stock II. I think resale-wise this will be better too as it lowers the entry level price. Not sure if it's in your mind, but that's my thoughts.

Now I'm wanting one. Haha. Stupid fickle gun buyer!

Have had the Guncraft, worked good in my Para. Not much fitting required.

Would the Guncrafter one work for Caspian? I know it works for Para...

Back to original question, pre-CZ is fine. It works well, I don't see the big difference, owned both.

PM9 is right. Dan Wesson feels like a Wilson Combat. Or a Ed Brown. Springfield feels like... a springfield.

Tripp was always the best for me.

highest FPS possible to enable to slowdown. That's the key to watching to relearn.

I love my Adi's trail running shoes. Have had them for a few years now. Taken me around the world and hiking in the rain in Kauai. Good stuff.

They seem to sell in the classifieds.

Are we talking at a match? Wouldn't there be the possibility of missing a RO command?
