Measure twice, cut once...... I think

Just ensure the overall height and the wing is in the same place on each interrupter. I know some of the factory cast ones vary slightly. .....

hopefully by the end of the month

The CNC versions will have the same stippling patern, however they feel much more aggressive. It's hard to keep the edges of the stippling sharp on the polymer versions. The aluminum CNC grips on the other hand our precision machines on a 5 axis CNC....... they'll be hands down the most aggressive grip out there for both Tanfoglio and CZ platforms.

Disclaimer- First and foremost you accept the risk involved with taking your DA tuning to the next level. As we all know these guns vary from one to another, therefore any measurements need to be verified for your specific application. Failure to adhere to these steps will result in reduced DA pull, or SA pull falling back onto the disco wing. This isn't a fix for all guns and user discretion is advised before taking a dremel or file to any parts or components in your firearm. As always we're constantly pushing the envelope of tuning the Tanfo platform. We tossed around the idea of a Gen 2 BOLO but decided against it due to many factors. The main being there really isn't anything wrong with the current design and the inconsistencies in the frame would cause more trouble than good for the changes we would make. So after careful consideration we've decided to share with you folks the "easiest" way to lengthen your DA pull on guns experiencing a shorter than average DA cycle. Its a rather quick and simple procedure, first you'll need to remove your BOLO from your Tanfo and get a measurement for its overall height as seen below. You should get 0.4650" if measuring the BOLO as seen below. Once a baseline measurement is achieved you'll want to begin to shave no more than .005" off at a time (this is one of those areas you need to go extremely slow and careful). Depending on your choose in tooling you can remove material pretty quickly, go slow and keep it straight. After each time you remove material, reinstall the BOLO and test your DA pull. You'll notice that the hammer will be traveling farther back than before (if done correctly). This is because some guns have a different ramp height cut in the frame. This ramp aides in throwing the interrupter off the trigger bar in your DA pull. So basically we're allowing the interrupter wing to sit slightly lower in your trigger bar which means the interrupter stays on the ramp longer thus your hammer travels further back in your DA pull. On average, the guns that need this performed to them will need between .010" and .020" removed from the bottom of the BOLO. There is a very fine line here and if you get to aggressive you end up with an interrupter that no longer contacts the ramp and will not disengage from the trigger bar....... which means your DA will never drop. Pic below depict where to remove material, remember to keep the cuts as square as possibly. If you have a mill i would recommend using that, I've shown a dremel because more than likely that's what most people will be using. In conclusion, if done properly we can normally get a hammer to increase its throw by .060" - .095" which may not seem like that much, will greatly increase the force as to how hard your hammer hits the FP. Best of luck and we hope this helps some of you out!

i haven't had time to post it........

It will not..... sorry been a little busy, hopefully I'll have something for you guys soon

I might need that quote for marketing purposes

We'll be updating this thread soon with a method on how to tune your BOLO for a longer DA pull encase your experiencing a shorter DA throw. Please standby as we have time we'll begin to add information.

ill send you a wood rasp now so you can start dry firing John.......

maybe he wants you guys to become pen pals...... Memphis your great at reaching new forum members, i vote you "Tanfoglio Forum New Member Welcoming Committee"

start dry firing now with a wood rasp to get your hands ready......... Promise they're the most aggressive grip out there for the Tanfo/CZ platform

I'm gonna wait till they're worth $2000 a piece and auction the last ones off....

See below response from Johnbu, he's on the money. Actually we tested several different designs, having a flat contact area created "mushrooming". This causes issues passing in and out of the stop plate. We settled on the dome shape just like the Xtreme Pin because it's a superior design. Your absolutely correct John, would you like a consulting job with us

Just wait for our aluminum CNC versions, that's where the bling is at.......

Major update posted at the below link on the polymer grips........... http://forums.brianenos.com/index.php?/forum/314-patriot-defense/

Stay up to date here" http://forums.brianenos.com/index.php?/forum/314-patriot-defense/ " for Grip announcements........ and yes we're currently working on Small Frame Tanfo and CZ platforms. Pre-order should open up this evening for the large frame polymer version of the grip.

We can cut the Shadow 2 barrel, we've done many of them so far.......

Doesn't mean they're perfect, they could have been defected from the factory.......

Somewhere around the $30-$35 range for the polymer version. The aluminum version will be priced competitively for what's currently available on the market. Possibly, still not sure how long I'll produce the polymer version for. These are more or less to hold you guys over a bit longer so I can get the CNC grips finalized. Polymer will be..... looked at injection molding and a set of dies cost $15,000. There's no way I could keep the cost go if dropping that much money on just a set of does.... Not messing with the round trigger guard guns at the moment.

Hit the sharp edges and give it a good polish....

With those numbers your claiming in the SA pull I would check the sear and or hammer hooks for wear. That's a lot of weight shaved from the SA pull.......

BOLO has nothing to do with the function of the FPB.......... What other parts did you install at that time..

It'll for sure be a Large Frame Stock II......

The contour looks extreme, but once they're in your hand you'll find that they really do fit all sizes. My wife in particular doesn't have large hands and before only liked the Xtreme grips, however she now really likes these palm swells and feels like she can control/drive the gun harder. They just flow really well with the natural contour of most people's palm profile. Pre-orders for the polymer version should open next week for those asking.
