I have a SDB in 9mm. I can reliably make 200-300 rds per hour (mistakes included). I spot check rounds, and get zero variation. I would just buy another whole SDB press if I wanted to do another caliber. I'm the third owner of this SDB and it's needed minimal inexpensive parts or repairs. Dillon would charge $65 to refurb it for me when needed. I'm happy.

"The barrel throat is shorter on the new model compared to the old. I have to load my lead ammo at 1.050" in the new one, however in the same old one I could load to 1.125" all day long"

It's like a club match with more quality, and less gimmicks (Texas Stars slow things down and result in a lot of reshoots/calibration calls). Shoot it like it's your club match with double the amount of stages. The winner is who shoots the best and screws up the least.

In addition to what zzt said...
I like the base pads on my Tanfo Stock 2 in Production because they eliminate the lip of the stock mag baseplate. This lip will cause you to occasionally hook a second mag when you only want one, dumping one or both on the ground. If it's a 32-rd stage... You are hurting. The additional weight to drop free and seating ease during reloads is also nice.

I guess this girl likes em short! Dummied up some of the Bayou 124 TCN's at about 1.090 and they chamber fine! Did several rounds that way, and they will load as fast as I can work the slide. Now I will have to get some loads made to that OAL and back to the range, It would be fun to try it out at a match this weekend! Should I be concerned about dry firing?? I don't do a ton.
I had heard that the recent Tanfos were running a little short in the chamber. Around 1.10 for my friend's Stock 2, all of mine are at least a year older than his, and both do 1.125 all day.
I dry fire a lot and haven't had a problem. I replaced a trigger return spring ($3), and that's all the repairs I've had to do. I shoot about 5:1 dry:live so it gets a workout.
-
Cool. There are many spring combos that people like, I forget what mine are, but they run perfect with Fed primers. I have two Stock-2's that are way too much fun!One piece Sear and a polish on the internals is all that I know for sure. I pick it up tonight.

I will be running my hand-loads Bayou 124's over 4.3 grains of ETR7 always has made PF in my CZs OAL 1.110.
I run the same Bayou 124's, OAL 1.125, 3.8 TiteGroup, with zero problems.

Any internal mods done or higher end parts swapped in?

My Stock IIs have been very reliable.
But if you take the game seriously, I don't see how you can not have a backup gun. Preferably your own. But if you know you are shooting a match with a friend who runs the same gun (and it runs you ammo) that would do in a pinch.
There aren't very many repairs I'd want to make on a Stock II during a match. Too many small parts to lose at a safe table.
What he said. And my spare is one I bought from him!
-
I have two Stock 2's that are very close in tune and upgraded parts. Almost all my matches of any level are 1.5-hrs in any direction. Having a spare gun is almost always better than having spare parts, because you don't have to diagnose, and fix the problem on a safe table, praying a spring doesn't fly into the berm of poison ivy. If you lose parts on your bench under ideal conditions, working on a gun at a match under stress, will be a recipe for further frustration. Swap guns, fix broken one at home.

I run an egw high mag catch on my 40 SS to bring the round a little closer to the chamber with wilson and Tripp 10mm magazines. When fully loaded the wilson magazines hold the round nose high, and the Tripp's are either neutral or nose low. It may be worth looking at the clearance between the slide stop and loaded magazine. Different bullet profiles, magazine profiles, and spring strength can affect the slide stop clearance. I had a slide stop that would occasionally contact the top round resulting in a nosedive, but it only occurred with a full Tripp mag on a slide lock reload (no issue with wilson). After fitting a new slide stop this issue has gone away.
I do the same (EGW higher mag catch). Positioning the mag, and round a little higher makes the angles better enough to keep the nose dives from happening.

Safariland is still a no-go.
-
Be aware that their holster finger is not inclusive or complete. For example, they say STI doesn't have an ALS, but it will in fact fit the one meant for Springfield Operator.
For the GLS, look at the PDF owner's manual instead.
Not saying one of those will work with your gun, but worth investigating more instead of relying on Safariland's site is my point.

I will take another look.

Safariland GLS should work. Not sure if long, or normal length.
None of the Safariland retention holsters work for the Stock 2. The holster finder directs to only a no retention speed holster, or shoulder holster. ALS or GLS do not have compatible models... sadly.
-
I've done several searches using many criteria, but I haven't found what I am looking for. I need a kydex holster that offers a better level of retention than a standard BladeTech. I've used Safariland ALS for previous guns, but they don't make a holster for the EAA/Tanfoglio Stock 2. If anyone has a manufacturer that make off the shelf, or custom holsters that fit the Stock 2 with a Level 2 retention system.
Thanks!

Bayou and Ibejiheads are awesome.
-
I'd like to see this too. Maybe a partial FPB that is too short to interfere but looks like it should for internal inspection...?
I'm all ears when someone has a solution to this. One of my limited tanfoglios uses the egw sear, and therefore cannot use the FPB. I find myself cleaning the channel once to twice a month.Does anyone make a plug to fill the FPB hole?
Just thinking of keeping the blow back junk off the firing pin.

Is there a serial number difference?

I just picked up my second one from a very recent classified listing. When tuned up right, they are sublime, flat shooting guns. My friends Shadow has a slightly better trigger, but my Stock 2 runs faster and flatter.This is funny. I was thinking the same thing. I've been VERRRRRRY tempted by a couple of the listings recently.. Thankfully a couple trade offers I've made have not been accepted. I went to CZ last year and love them, however, being a gun nut who's always looking I have had my eyes on a stock 2/3 for a while. Hopefully I've convinced myself to leave all that alone for a while and just get better with my CZs... But time will tell. One things for sure all the listings on classifieds are NOT helping!

You are not helping...
As a very good friend of mine said, "...the shooting sports are like sharing needles, the infection spreads and everyone gets high."

Take your stock grips, backfill the dead space with black epoxy. Sand them down to a minimum version of the profile you prefer. Coat the with JB Weld like you are spreading butter on toast, sprinkle aluminum oxide or silicon carbide color of your choice. Let dry. Never slippery again... Ever...

I have been told by a friend whom I consider reliable, that the new model Stock 2 has less metal thickness in the grip/magwell area and more in the dust-cover area. This accounts for the holster fit and the grip panel fit issues. Holding both side by side, you can feel the slightly nose heavy nature of the new model. As far as the velocity difference, I don't know.

What TJART said above and the exponential growth that comes from the "I just shot my buddy's Tanfo and it was awesome! I'm gonna get one!" People are reluctant to shoot something that can't pick up and try in a gunshop. The more that people see and handle will keep raising the number in use.
-
Just my theory.
CZ's - 'Cause the shadow 2 has been released and everyone is unloading in anticipation of having to pay a little more that market value when they actually hit the market.
Tanfo's - 'Cause most folks aren't that familiar with tuning them to get as good or better than a CZ. The posts and videos that have been going up in the Tanfo section seem to be jus the right catalyst for people to dive in. Also, there were limited aftermarket parts.
And I don't care what anyone says, CZ copied the Stock 3 for the Shadow 2.

Stock 2 9mm Ammo Question
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

I personally shoot RN 124's from Bayou, 3.8grn Titegroup, 1.125 OAL.
That said, you should check out this info to see which Stock 2 you have.
