  1. I agree. Which is why I'd rather just build up a 'normal' Stock 2.
  2. Maybe the Lim Pros at the time only had the single sided safety? This is what I suspect happened. Hopefully Tanfoglio switches back or moves to the Stock 2 safeties.
  3. While that method works... I'd rather Dawson just use a properly sized set screw. I don't know why they wouldn't? Does the Henning front site use the proper sized screw?
  4. I think I've heard of people using a cut q-tip as well. Does anyone make a floating trigger pin for the Tanfo? I know cgw makes one for the cz guys. Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
  5. I know a few people had issues with the original Henning base pads allowing the mags to be over-inserted and inducing a jam. Does this re-design prevent that like the Springer pads do? Glad to see they moved away from the set screw for mounting.
  6. Not sure which ones you watched, but I've found these two to be helpful.
  7. Agreed. I currently shoot a cz but have large hands, it's too small for me. Looking to get a large frame Tanfo. I'm really going to miss the CZ aftermarket and all the great CZC support, but the CZ just doesn't fit well. I wish CZ would just build a large frame shadow. I'd buy two!Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
  8. Whatever you do don't do this. So long as the gun is accurate and reliable enough how it fits you is the most important thing for getting the best performance out of your gun. I almost went back to the G34 because I was so frustrated with grip issues on the CZ, then I discovered the Stock II and it is great. I have found that the main issue isn't how "big" the grip is but how long (dimension parallel to the bore) is. I went through the exact same problem you are going through. I had to figure it out the very expensive way. You hit the nail on the head. "Long" grips work best. I actually had the chance to shoot a stage with a Stock 2 Thursday night and I liked it a lot. Although I wish the grip was just a little bit "longer", it wasn't quite perfect (but much improved over my CZ). I wonder how the G34 compares with largest backstrap. I was disregarding the pro grip advice because I agree and feel that gun fit is one of the most important aspects. My current CZ isn't production legal anyway, so a new gun is a must. Why not make sure it fits great?
  9. I may have to give Glock another look. To be honest the grip angle just feels unnatural to me, although I'm sure I could get used to it.
  10. What about Tanfoglio Limited Pro versus Stock 2? Why does everyone recommend the Stock 2 with almost no mention of the Limited Pro? Both are production legal and the Pro has a slightly longer barrel and is a bit cheaper.
  11. Kansas City That's what I don't like about the Sig. Seems like there is almost zero USPSA following and aftermarket. It would tough to go from the CZ to that. I'll still be sure to check them out. Does anyone have experience with the stock Triggers on the Stock 2 versus the Xfive? I don't have any experience with the Sig, but the Stock 2 trigger from the factory is horrendous. Like, comically bad. And that isn't from the frame of reference of competition guns, I'm talking I'm the frame of ANY guns. The DA is like shooting a finely abused HiPoint or Taurus snubbie. The SA is probably heavier than the DA of a tuned SP01, and much less shootable. This is frustrating. I figured a $1k gun would have an excellent trigger, especially when a CZ costs about half. Who is the go-to for Tangfoglio triggers/parts?
  12. It's certainly not all I care about. It's just something I need with my size hand. Notice I said "competitive" handgun in the first post I'm looking for suggestions that I can look into and eventually pick the best option for.

  14. Interesting about the Hogue grip. Nice to know I can go that route if needed, but even the Hogue leaves less room for my weak hand than desired. Although better than nothing!
  15. I like the out of the box thinking, but one of my main reasons for switching to production is to shoot 9mm. Wow, are you my long lost twin? It really does seem like we are in the same boat. I tried the shooting innovations cz scales and even those were not big enough for me, and that was the widest I could find. Seems like a lot of people have good things to say about the Stock II. Where did you pick yours up? I feel I will have a hard time trying to track one down locally to try out. Thanks all and keep the suggestions coming!
  16. Hi All, Recently got into the world of pistol shooting, specifically USPSA. Been shooting Limited Minor with my CZ75SAO 9mm that I bought before I really knew much about handguns or technique. I would like to start shooting in the Production division, and I am currently in the search for a pistol to fill that role. My issue is that I have freakishly long fingers. With the CZ and a standard grip, my strong hand fingers wrap around the grip and almost touch my palm on the other side. This leaves almost no area for my weak hand to get a good purchase on the pistol. I'm left with my weak hand mostly resting on my strong hand fingertips and I feel like it is hindering my grip. Since I am running limited now, I can run Hogue wraparound grips which help add a little bulk to the gun, but it's still not enough. These are also not production legal so it doesn't help me there. Thus, I am searching for a competitive USPSA production gun with a large grip. In your experience, which production gun has the largest grip? I have looked at guns like the M&P9, VP9 and P320. The issue is no gun store has them with the largest backstrap/side panel/frame installed so it is hard to figure out which one will truly work the best for me. I am open to all suggestions! Thanks!
