Here's my current resto project 1999 Jaguar Xk8 V8 Convertible
-
I think it goes without saying. Alot of us in the shooting sports community also really enjoy cars/trucks or some form of Motor sport. Even if it's a classic or just a weekend cruiser or wild restomod. Post up a pic and tell us about it! Anything off beat, odd, ratty, or your just really proud of!

My favorite SAO trigger was the one I made myself. I was able to heat, shape, and bend a GT trigger flat and to medium length. It felt very 1911/2011 from geometry

Toni System and PD may be doing proper Tanfoglio Small Frame magwells. Other wise the only other one I know of is a weld on by EGW for the Small Frames.

There is Multiple of us Testing this magwell currently. If the other party I asked to help me along for a fair double perspective thorough review. The other person may choose to remain anonymous or chime their thoughts in. My personal perspective is its excellent.

You have to do it by feel and a tiny tiny bit at a time. Done this many times now. It works but the edge of perfect, and too far is a thin line. I'd have multiple sears as a back up. Probably been through 30 of them.

Stock III 40Cal any available conversion to 9mm?

Yup -
Give Joe/Johanna a call. They'll set you up and you'll not only save yourself headache but alot of $$$ in the long run. It's cheaper to build a GT into a better gun than Domina. @PatriotDefense

Can confirm.

I've run the wheels off some of these Companies parts for them, for a reason. That reason is to bring validated, tried, and tested evaluations. I took the approach like any experiment because I had a "constant" (stock gt) and a variable I kept changing to compare and contrast. These are my findings.@johnbu and @kneelingatlas

The acronym TS is for *Toni System; NOT CZ TS* BTW. Just so there is no CZ confusion.

I've done combos on the barrels for yall so you don't have too. Factory with aluminum cone sucks. I've done V2, V4, V6, V8, and the full v12. Load experience with all of them. It didn't get better after 4 popples. It just got louder and more difficult to load. I can't even say it enough. Don't do what I did to try and find that "magic" combo. PD, LSI, DONE. IT WILL NOT HOLD YOU BACK. Then run it until the wheels fall off and concentrate just on the shooting and leave the fiddling to others. And have PD *stroke the factory GT slide* to correct the erratic ejection the older tanfos come factory with.

PD barrel and comp. I've done so many gold team set ups and custom open Tanfoglios and out of all of them the tried, true, works wonders combo was the PD heavy threaded barrel and 3 port Lone Star Innovations comp. NO POPPLE HOLES. Flatest and softest combo I got out of all the frames, popple hole combos, barrel combos, slide combos, etc. That was the best and FULL STOP. If I ever open blast a Tanfoglio again it will be a Gold Team, ditch both factory barrels, PD barrel, LSI Comp, DONE. run it. No more experimenting on loads and reliability. The goal is to chase shooting skill not magic combos. Know what I mean. Between Henning, Atlas, Myself, and others every combo I'm sure that could be tried, has been. There is a reason they kept evolving or changing. The perfect Tanfo open gun. Gold Team PD or TS magwell PD heavy barrel LSI comp TS Optic mount Springs SRO Done

I was really suprised at how good it was with a simple polish as well. Mine still has original 2 piece sear and all.
-
I agree; It has some very sexy lines
-
Yes I'm claiming that one. Some others know funny story.
-
I gave TF the idea for those tanfo extentions BTW
-
I wouldn't know without having an ipsc box. I guess I assumed it was fine for Limited and open in IPSC
-
Yeah I'm not sure if I got hand picked lucky but the new frame and slides fit so so well. I have no tool marks and it slides like glass. Nearly zero slide play and it damn near looks hand blended. I'm sure it's not but wow. They have really stepped up these IFG specials. The Stock Master out of the numerous tanfos I've had is by far the nicest one I've had from the factory. I honestly see it almost as "semi-custom" quality now instead of "off the shelf" The IFG guns are way better, and are a bargain too, compared to other models.
