I went up and took measurements of the new “limpro” small frame with calipers. I’m going to take some measurements of my stock 1 and give y’all comparisons. That way you can measure your own and see.

It is a small frame. Never seen a small frame version. Guess I may see them soon.
The mag change and trigger guard should make them easy to spot.
Do any of the small frame guns have a square trigger guard?
Yes it still has a trigger guard.

Kamkaze Will the Stock 2 long be imported 1st quarter too?
1st quarter I highly doubt, they are talking with Tanfoglio about it now and will do so at SHOT. The important thing at this point is for you and anyone else interested in the Stock 2L “Australian” to email Tanfoglio directly in Italy and tell them you want IFG to import it.

I can throw calipers on it and get a width, I can tell you it felt smaller in my hand.

Small frame? Eww.
I hate the way CZs feel. I bought a Tanfo instead of a Shadow because of precisely that.
I know a lot of you feel differently, but that’s a bad move to some of us.
Yeah I knew there would be some disappointment as well. I’m hoping some other large frames like the stock 2L will be available as well.

Any idea when they will be stateside? I always wanted a LimPro and might have to jump on one of these.
ETA - I assume they will also use the CZ / MecGar magazines too?
I’d say late 1st quarter but should know after SHOT. It should take cz mags but I’ll have to confirm.

That's exciting news!
So when you say "black framed", do you mean the frame will be black only and the slide will still be chromed? Either way, I think the black change up would be nice.
Also, I think it's a good idea to make it the small frame, should make it easier to fit inside the IDPA box. That's probably why they did that. The original LimPro seemed to be the "go-to gun" for us Tanfo peeps when it came IDPA. But suddenly they stopped being available :-(
But as I understand it, the differences between the Large and Small frame are very minut. But I'm glad they're going to produce it as a "small frame." Was kind of sad when Stock 2s small frame stopped being available to us a few years back.
Hats off to IGA.

Yes I think it’s a good thing too but only the market will tell lol. If they sell well that will be a good sign. The whole gun will be black, and I might be able to leak some teaser pictures soon, I’m working on that. Main difference is grip size and magazines. These small framed versions should take cz mags although I haven’t confirmed that.

@PatriotDefense can you help with this you are way more versed with Tanfo than I am.

I was able to get some details on the new “limpro” that IFG-NA will be importing for 2018. Earlier I had made a post about it saying it was going to be the current LimPro imported under a different name, well today I found out that isn’t completely 100% true. The two main differences are that it will be black framed, not hard chromed and the biggest difference which will make some happy and others not so much lol. It will be a small frame not the typical large frame. I know a lot of people have been asking for a small frame pistol so that’s s good thing. Discuss. I’ll answer what I can.

The LOKs available now are flat. I think they may release some swells in the near future; their CZ Bogies are really nice.how do they compare to the EGD for flatness?

Isn't IFG same people as EAA?
Absolutely not, IFG NA is a newer company based in Amarillo, Texas, EAA is based somewhere in Florida I believe. They are in now way connected other than they both import Tanfoglio. IFG also imports Pedersoli, Sabatti and FAIR.

Kinda depends what org you are going to shoot in. If IDPA, I think only a stock 2 or a limpro would work. They are both pretty hard to find. Shooting USPSA, a stock 3 is a good alternative and they seem to be everywhere. A heavy all metal gun can be a pleasure to shoot compared to the plastic fantastics,,, the cool thing about Tanfos are the frame is the same for all calibers, just need a different slide to shoot a different org or class,,,
The new stock 1 imported by IFG was designed specifically to meet the weight requirement for IDPA.

That was a bad joke that fell flat!
Gotcha my fault for not catching that. Just hoping we can get Tanfo to allow IFG to import more pistols so I skipped right over the possibility it was a joke lol.
-
I don’t think it has to do with the .5” is has to do with dealing with someone other than EAA and hopefully something that will have good availability.

A better question is will IFG import the Aussie stock 2 with 4.9" barrel?
It is something they are looking into for sure I can tell you that.

Correct, the wise folks at EAA decided that after Alex Gutt won nationals last year with a lim pro that it wasn't worth carrying anymore. (duh!)
Will the IFG "lim pro" be on the production list? And will it have the crazy wide safety that nobody seemed to like ?
That's a good question, one that needs to be asked of the powers that be at USPSA.

So as soon as you can get your hands on the limpro that’s got a new name but is identical to the current Limpro you’ll take pictures for us of the identical gun that we already know? Am I missing something? Is the limpro currently not available through EAA or something?
Correct it is no longer imported by EAA, I figured since it is going to be named something different people will want to see it and confirm for them selves it is the LimPro with a new name.
-
IFG will be importing the “LimPro” next year under a different name. It will be identical to the limpro just with a new name, but it is the Limpro. It will be on display at SHOT Show in the Italian Firearms Booth which houses Tanfoglio, Sabatti, Pedersoli and FAIR. As soon as I get my hands on it I will get pictures and feedback.

Lim Pro's should be avail again in 2018 and the Stock 1 is IDPA legal as well if that is something you are after.
-
so that would put me at 43.9 nice and thanks for that.

Most 140 base pads are an ounce or so, if memory serves.
So that minus whatever the factory base plate weighs should put me just under the 45 I believe
New IFG “LimPro” update
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
Posted · Edited by Kamkaze
So so what I have found from taking measurements of the IFG stock 1 and SF Limpro is that the differences in size are very small. Measurements on the stock 1 were taken with the EGD grips so they are thinner than stock. Here is what I found. D is slide width. B is grip width. I’m sure I can take more measurements if there is something specific you want to know. A. Was hard to measure consistently between the two because of the finger grooves on the Stock 1.
Stock 1 Limpro
A. 53.75 mm 60 mm
B. 28.8 mm 30 mm
C. 73 mm 74mm
D. 25.5 mm 25.5 mm
E. 31 mm 35mm
