Has anyone yet to have any experience dealing with IFG customer service? If so how were they to work with? I had a Stock 2 that I never really warmed up to and sold it. Another big factor in letting it go was the thought of having to deal with EAA in the case of a major issue.
I was actually curious about this myself. I sold my Stock 2, and now run a pair of IFG Limited Pros instead. Havent really had any issues with either pistol, and have had one of them for a year and a half now.

Cz rami issues
in CZ
Typically when this happens its because the leading edge of the runway has a slight too sharp of edge to it. It pulls the round forward in the magazine when the slide moves forward.
Diamond file, and a little time will fix it.
Round off the front edge ever so slightly, and that will normally fix that issue. Also polishing the runway as well tends to help.
This is a pretty common issue on Tanfos, and Ive managed to make all my pistols not drag rounds forward with this fix.

Thanks alot. Parts 0rdered
If you want to watch and great how to videos on complete disassembly, and polishing the internals check out the videos by Memphis Mechanic on youtube.
Great detailed videos.

Extractor, trigger spring, are the two parts I hear mentioned most. I keep both in my parts bag along with some extra various springs and an extra firing pin just because I'm paranoid about that.
What sorts of upgrades are you looking to do? Most of them are very easy to do yourself, and as far as I know there are only a few good places to get upgrade work done. And not a lot of gunsmiths seem to be very familiar with Tanfos from what Ive seen.

Did it look like this? Bascially a long slide stock 2. This is the Aus model of the pistol.

Amazing! Thanks everyone!

Thanks, guess I'll not do anything.
I noticed the sear appears to be the Unica sear, the trigger pull is much nicer than other my other Limited Custom was out of the box.
Thats pretty rad! Is it gold colored?
My Lim Pro came with a one piece sear which was a nice surprise as well.

Contact Armorycraft.com. He sells a variety of Sig specific accessories such as grips, base pads, triggers etc.
Thanks! That was an option I was thinking about. I didnt see anything for sale on the site, but since they are importing them it would be fair to guess they would have the skinny!
Thank you!

did you even read the guys post? He specifically said it wasn’t a p320 X5.
Haha thanks! Yeah I'm talking about the German made X5 not the P320 X Five.

A friend picked up an old style X5 in 40 for a suuuper good price. But is curious if anyone makes an extension for the X5 mags to boost capacity, and be legal.
Does he need to buy the X5 mags? Or can he get the 226 mags, and add basepads? Very very new to this, and couldn't find much on the forum.
Thanks in advance!

No more so than any other Xtreme hammer.it works fine with the Delta.
I’ve fit BOLOs in the past. They aren’t hard at all. 30 min with a round file and imnormally done.
And cool! I’ll give it a shot. The Delta hammer is nice, and I’ll see what kind of reliability I can get out of it!

My Stock 2 had a small hole all the way through. Never was an issue...and honestly made attaching a dawson front sight even easier.
Not sure if its something they do all the time on other guns...but I will see neither of my Lim Pros have the hole all the way through, but my Stock 2 and 3 both did.
Does the hole look jagged or not machined well?

Hey all,
Just curious. I have a second LimPro I am looking to do some work on. I dont have an extra titan hammer laying around at the moment, but I do have a take off Xtreme Delta hammer from my S2X I had to part with this week.
On PDs sight they say to use the titan hammer, but will the xtreme delta hammer work with the BOLO? Or is it just not recommended since its not as heavy, and doesnt hit as hard.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Will an NP3 slide on a Wonder frame end up looking like an FDE FN Scar in terms of being two very different shades of silver/grey?
Gotta love the 50 shades of FDE!

Ive been using a Limited Pro a lot lately for IDPA competition...and am thinking about making the switch for USPSA as well.
The Limited Pro feels the most like a 1911 to me, but the Match is super similar as well. I think youd be doing good with that pistol for sure!

Looking back I believe that I may have nudged the rear sight a bit. The pin that the front of the LPA hinges on tends to walk out to the left. I've had to tap it back flush a couple of times and may have put enough pressure to move the entire sight.
If anyone has a suggestion on stopping that pin walk I'd appreciate that as well. Tried a bit of green loktite on the bit that was exposed last time it happened. Didn't seem to help as it's moving out slowly again.
Hmmm...maybe try staking it a little on the end to not give the a place to walk out? Never had this issue so I'm just coming up with an idea off the top of my head.

Stock 2 front sight is fixed, can't drift.
Was about to say the same thing. Stock 2 front sights are not really adjustable. Drifting the rear is the way to go.
Good chance the smith didnt put the sight back on centered.

Putting this back at the top for a few guys with new Tanfos who might want to look at it.
The interesting stuff is on pages 1 and 2.
Watch your youtube videos, and then do this! Make your tanfo punch a hole through God with the DA...and also be able to set off CCI primers.

IFG has been bringing them in since at least last year. I picked one up in Jan of 19. Been running it in IDPA, and as a backup gun in USPSA...but thinking about building one out for production as well. Fantastic pistol!

Tancoat is what sellers on Gunbroker use. I thought it was a unique model.
Oh! Interesting haha. I love that they are trying to brand there coating...but honestly...Id be more impressed if they were just like "Yeah its cerakote" haha

That's a Limited Custom, Tancoat is just what they call their painted finish. Whether it actually is cerakote or something similar is anyone's guess.
Very true. I will say that I'm like 99% sure my S2X is cerakoted, but it could be KGkote or duracote as well. Who knows what they use.
And Ive never head anyone refrence that Limited Custom as a Tancoat before.

I just "discovered" the Tancoat, it looks like a lot of pistol for the buckazoids. Anyone have one?
Do you mean Tanfo? Not sure what a tancoat is...I dont own any tan coats personally. More of a black coat kinda guy myself! Haha

6-40 screws fit, the trijicon screws are 6-32. Had to take a slide to the hardware store to,figure it out.Thank you! Sending along to him! Appreciate it!

Have friend trying to mount and SRO to the slide directly. Holes line up...but the thread pitch on the screws seems to be different. Does anyone know what the thread pitch of the slide holes are? I'm not there to diagnose in person currently.

If you use the 21rd. mags with the factory basepads, be sure to check them in a mag gauge. All of mine were too long to gauge. They’ll fit with a little Dremel work.
Ive read that! Thank you for the heads up on that though. Also got all the mags, and base pads in today. They fit great...and dare I say seem to work a bit better than the factory sigs.
The follower sits a little higher in the mag which puts more pressure on the slide stop, and in turn when I hit the mag release the mags spring out more aggressively than the factory ones do.
New Limited Pro - First Tanfoglio - Holster Needed

I have the bladetech holster for the stock 3 i picked up from BSPS. Works pretty great for the Lim Pro.
