If I'm not mistaken im pretty sure the large frame is large frame and all the the grips will fit for large frame tanfos. I have a set of blue EGD grips I'm looking to get rid of. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

@MemphisMechanic and @johnbu I have finally figured out my issue I believe with all my problems. I installed the tanfo eay LONG sear in my stock 3 and problems seem to go away. 5.5 lb. DA and 1.5 lb SA and has been setting of my Winchester primers no problem now. Also the extended firing pin block functions as it is supposed to. All other parts in my original thread (topic) are the same. Only difference is I got rid of the extreme sear and put the factory "long" sear in. thank you all for your help. I hope this continues to work with no issues. So far 500 plus rounds without issues.

So the factory FPB is exactly .491" long and the extended FPB (Extreme) is .506" long. Im not exactly sure how long the extended is supposed to be. Maybe someone can messure theirs and post it up here. Thank you all for the feed back. Getting to the range monday and wednesday to test run this finally. (Without the FPB) to see is that is the exact the issue. Fingers crossed she runs flawless.

Hey John, I test the FPB by racking the slide putting it in single action and keeping my finger off the trigger and using a punch to depress the firing pin. I am able to depress the firing pinpin all the way out of the breach face. Once i read your thread i actually removed the over travel screw completley and it is in the box with all the other parts, I do not plan on ever putting that back in the gun again.

Hey so I have been home and talking with a buddy of mine who owns a stock 1 and he is also getting approx 19 SA and 22 DA in on the "pencil" Test. I am still not getting that. I have installed all factory parts again with the same issue of 10-12 in. Anyways I have taken a picture and I drew on one of them pointing out exactly what I am trying to say. I really hope it clears it up. The titan hammer is the far one and the stock hammer is the close one. The hammer legs are at the same position in this picture and when the sear rests against the legs the sear is able to drop lower in the stock hammer (reason why the titan hammer in SA is so crisp). The sear dropping lower into the hammer allows the sear leg to lift higher to engage the FPB this is the reason for the Extended FPB to be installed with the titan hammers. Although I am still not reaching the FPB to engage it for safety for my USPSA matches.

Hey thank you for the reply. No offense taken lol hense why im on the forum haha. I did follow the guide and i just did the bolo DA stroke tune last night. I took a total od .010 off the overall and the hammer is coming back just a hair shorter than SA. Everything is polished, extractor, fo channel, etc (not over poliished as far as i know) I will be removing the FPB and trying it out but when it come times for matches I need that to work unfortunately. As far as the pencil test im now shooting the eraser 13 in passed the bore in SA and 12 in passed the bore in DA. I didnt check to see if the sear cage is moving while pulling the trigger in DA. I installed the old hammer and old FPB and everything functions as it should. I actually found something interesting out, my findings with the new titan hammers. It seems like the legs on the hammer that the sear sits on does not allow the sear to drop far enough down to engage the FPB, which is why installing the old hammer everything works great. Ill post a picture if i can figure out how to do it lol. So the picture is too big but when i get home after work ill post one.

Yes but my thing is that I need more material on my firing pin block because it is already clearing it when it is not supposed to. My leg on my sear is not contacting the block at all so removing material would be counter productive I would think.

How did you do it. Any help would be appreciated!! Also do you have any information as to the firing pin block problem? Is the long leg sear the answer?

I'm using Winchester Primers and they are much deeper than flush. I did not know that the Bolo causes weak double action strikes. I did notice that the hammer does not go as far back as if it were sitting on the single action hammer legs.

I am from the Branford area now originally from Ansonia.

Sorry for the late response I was originally from Ansonia and moved to Branford about 6 months ago. Took a bit off from Shooting unfortunately and now working on my new Tanfoglio Stock 3. So here I am back on this forum looking for answers lol

I am running a Tanfoglio Stock 3 with the following upgrades: - Titan Hammer - Xtreme One Piece Sear - Patriot Defense Bolo Interrupter - Patriot Defense Optimized Firing Pin Spring - Patriot Defense 14# Optimized Hammer Spring - Patriot Defense Reduced Power Sear Spring - Patriot Defense Optimized Reduced Power Trigger Return Spring - Patriot Defense Extended Firing Pin - Henning #18 Lightest Trigger Plunger Spring - Henning Conefit Guide Rod with brass bushing and 10# Recoil Spring - Extreme Firing Pin Safety I have been getting many different issues with this setup. The main issue is the firing pin block is not working properly. I know people will say just remove it but I compete in USPSA Area matches and they sometimes check this safety feature, therefore, this is not an option. I noticed the problem when I installed the Patriot Defense Extended Firing Pin. When the hammer is in "HALF" cocked position the firing pin is NOT able to be pushed through the firing pin channel. When the hammer is in "FULL" cocked position the firing pin is able to be pushed through the channel (UNSAFE). I ordered the Xtreme "Extended" firing pin block and still having the same issue. I also put the original firing pin back in with the Extended firing pin block and with the original firing pin block and still having the same issue. Ben Stoeger Pro Shop has an EAA/Tanfoglio Witness One Piece LONG Sear for $36.95. Does anyone have any solutions to this very frustrating problem? Is the One Piece Long Sear the solution? Also, I am loading 3.0 Grains of Tite Group under 147 Grain Blue Bullets Flat Point at 1.12 OAL. I am not contacting the lead of the barrel at all and all my ammo is case checked and barrel checked. I am not having any feeding issues at all but I am having a lot of failure to fire issues. I do not believe that they are light strikes. The hit looks good and my press is seating the primers all the way. This seems odd because I am running a 14# Patriot Defense Hammer Spring. Thank you all for your help.

I am using 1.15 OAL. I am way under pressure from standard specs. I get a power factor of 131 average for USPSA.

No its not a typo haha. Sorry for the confusion GN is the abbreviation for Grain, I didn't mean to type it in CAPS. but I DO use Round Nose bullets from Bluebullets.com

I just picked up a GEN 5 34 approx. 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it. Did the trigger work myself with over and pre travel drilling into the trigger and installing a set screw and drilling into the housing for over travel with another set screw. It works great. As far as loads I am currently using 3.2 GN of Tie Group under 147 blue bullets and find that it is accurate and flat shooting. If anyone has anything different I am all ears and would love to try it.

Bench, If you look at Tite groups website the put the difference between the different loads. When loading coated (polymer) bullets you use lead specs. For all coated and copper plated bullets you are to use lead specs. Hope this helps. I currently use 3.2 grains of TiteGroup under a 147 GN blue bullet. Shoots flat and accurate.

Thanks brother, I wonder who told me about this site hahaha !!!! looking forward to getting a lot of matches in this year with you.

I look forward to picking peoples brains on new gear and how to speed up those times on the stages. I finally became a USPSA Memebr this year as well and looking to finally be classified. I currently run a Smith and Wesson M&P 9 Pro Series, Custom built from myself Spike Tactical AR-15, and A Mossberg JM Pro 22" 930.
