These new guns are indeed the Bull Barrel, or Cone Target Barrel as Tanfoglio calls it. I've always liked the way these guns feel and handle so i was a fan boy from the start. You can expect pretty much the same machine finish from what was previous imported by EAA. However i've seen slightly lighter and smoother DA numbers and the SA seems to be a little less take up as well. Over all, i think this could easily de-thrown the Stock II as the sought after Tanfo state side.
The hard chrome was a pleasant surprise to the model they showed at SHOT SHOW last year with the standard bluing or wander finish like the Stock III. Plus they just look awesome, and those new grips of ours are AWESOME!
