Well i think i should try your advice Bryan, we had plenty of those wooden sticks stocked in the kitchen . Thanks guys for the fast replies, will apply a little touch of smooth sandpaper on the frame sides that contacts the trigger. Cheers!

Hi guys, it's been a long time from my last post here at BE forum. Here's a querry from a newbie trigger job part timer.. . I recently acquire a 3 hole Videki trigger (long type) and opted to try and replace the stock trigger in my 1911 commander. After searching the net for some instructional tips, i've succeeded in inserting an almost freely moving trigger (while frame internals are disassembled), the trigger-frame fit was exceptionally grit and wiggle free from the previous one. Yet i feel that some frame part where the trigger slides in still touches the trigger sides, which can be visibly noted by some horizontal scratches on it. I'm tempted to file a little bit more of the frame's trigger opening sides but afraid that it might cause the trigger to wiggle from side to side. Will the current set up fit of the new trigger be just okay, or a liitle clearance on the frame-trigger fit produce a much crisp or lesser trigger pull? Any inputs are very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, its good to be back. I just want to ask your help again guys regarding my stock full size DA Tanfoglio 9mm's trigger sound. I went to the range last friday and have practiced using reloads.The outcome was okay, hitting COM at 15m with 7 misses and 1 farewell headshot at 7m out of 63 bullets. What puzzles me is that after cleaning my gun (after disassembling the slide, barrel, and guide rod spring and reassembled) and lubricating it; i tried to rack the slide with out the magz to cock it. When i'm about to pull the trigger to dryfire, i heard this click sound just as i applied pressure on the trigger. Is this normal? But when i inserted an empty magz, rack the slide, and release the slide button, the click was'nt there when i pull the trigger. I usually dryfire with an empty magz inserted, and only cock the hammer not the slide, and i never heard this click. Any comments? Thanks.

i think you're right man. good luck on your reloading, i'm also thinking of getting into it soon. Wingz, I'd recommend reloading to any shooter who is even close to considering getting into competition. Beyond the fact that it will save you money in the long run, it's the ONLY way you're going to get your gun to reach it's maximum potential. Having said that, after having gotten into reloading myself... I'd NEVER shoot somebody else's reloads in my gun, no matter how much I trusted them. If the reloading is done wrong, it can result in anything from an inaccurate bullet to a destroyed gun and possible injury. Until you learn how to do it yourself--because you can trust yourself to do it correctly--I'd recommend buying cheap factory ammo and start getting in the habit of saving the brass for when you get your own machine. Buy some quality reloading manuals (The ABCs of Reloading or Lyman's 48th Reloading Handbook are my suggestions, though Lee's Modern Reloading 2nd Edition is also good... as long as you don't buy into his shameless self-promotion of his products) and learn the process before going out and spending a bunch of money on equipment. thanks for the advice & infos. you really simplified it for me man, thanks a lot!

i,m from makati. how about you? do you have any infos/resources where i can buy reasonably and trusted 9mm reloads around here? thanks

philippines you got it right. i found the reloaded stuff at the range itself. i don't know how to reload either, but it's getting clearer to me now that learning to reload with yourself better suits the need of one's gun. thanks for the valuable info. wingz that's really interesting to reload with yourself. i think i better have to learn it now to save ammo cost and suit my gun's performance needs. thanks a lot. thanks, i better be going to start my research on reloading. thanks. did you make those reloads that you're using? for me i guess i'll have to stick to the range ammo (fmj's) that i'm using right now for the meantime; since the reloaded ammos that they issue there is in question. then i'll try to learn the basics of reloading and produce my own reloads.

021306 good day fellows. just got my Permit To Transport (PTT) for my combat 9mm tanfoglio that i've asked for some infos from you guys a few months ago. i went to the range yesterday to "break in" my blaster. some guys who frequently shoot there advised me to use fmj instead of reloads. they say that i can't really bring out the full performance of my gun if i use the reloaded ones. taking the advice, i loaded my combat 9mm with nothing but fmj's: though the price hurts, the result came fine. can you please give me some infos on the pros and cons of using reloaded ammos? also what brand of ammo has the best performance review for the tanfoglio combat 9mm? thanks. wingz

yes it is allowed to reload ammo here in the philippines hope it would. thank you guys for the quality infos that you sent . it helps a lot, looking forward to better handling and accuracy shooting of this combat gun.

good day everyone, just registered a minute ago, i'm from the philippines and very glad that ive already joined this forum. just want to ask some reviews for this combat 9mm tanfoglio pistol that i recently bought from my cousin. i'm new in pistol shooting and my knowledge of the performance of this gun is very limited. i hope you guys can help me, thanks a lot.
