  1. Fellow witness hunter owner here. This is why the hunter frame from the factory has threaded holes in the frame (rather than the slide) for mounting an optic. CZ pattern guns like Tanfos have slides with lower mass than many other guns due to the rails riding inside rather than outside the frame. This means you get the low bore axis, and lower reciprocating mass in the slide that make CZs such smooth shooters. It also means that the lighter slide reciprocates much faster. But when you add a slide mounted optic, then that fast moving slide can really slam hard back and forth and eventually shear and break your mount screws. It sounds to me like that’s what you have going on here. The surest solution is to ditch the slide mounted optic and go to a frame mounted optic. It’s bulkier and maybe doesn’t have the cool factor, but it’s actually more accurate, and the tanfo hunter is a big gun anyway, so I’m guessing this thing isn’t your edc and slightly bigger won’t matter too much. Alternatively you can try to get some heat treated screws that are stronger, if you can find them and assuming the heat treating doesn’t make them too brittle. You could also install a much heavier recoil spring to slow down the slide and tune the gun to not slam back and forth too hard. Doing this, however, will require a lot of experimentation and will make the gun ammo picky. Final note. Mounting optics on the slides of 10mm guns is still something in its infancy. 10mm is a hot round and will bang up the mounts and optics more than other calibers. You may just be experiencing the growing pains of an area not many manufacturers have figured out yet. Optic ready 10mm guns have only been mainstream for about a year at this point. I’ve already heard anecdotes of other 10mm guns breaking their optic mount screws with frequency, so this isn’t an isolated problem related to a Tanfo. Good luck.
  2. RS Comp is also a good option
  3. I run the 160 bayous with 3.2 gr of sport pistol
  4. My Sportsman’s warehouse has three or four bottles on the shelf as of yesterday
  5. Sport Pistol with that bullet in 38 short colt is very accurate for me
  6. Wow those are crazy SDs for a handgun.
  7. Are we threatening to remove membership for the non-believers now? Nothing will kill an organization faster than that.
  8. That is incredibly unfortunate. Nathan is a stand up guy who I respect a lot.
