used STI in good condition is hard to find. The new ones are way over-priced. Also their magazines is way much more expensive than any of the other two brands. @MikeBurgess the plain Tanfoglio limited after customizing it will pass the price-tag of the Xtreme version. The plain one comes with one regular magazine. Just adding three mags and four extended base-pad, plus the henning trigger brings its price to the range of Xtreme. Except the Xtreme has a slide cut. Although, I am not sure for a 40cal handgun lightening the slide is good or makes the recoil-feel worse.

@motosapiens the trigger of a regular Tanfoglio is not as good as CZ TSO. But I have heard the Xtreme version of Tanfoglio has an impressive trigger. so far the score is 3-0 in favor of CZ TSO. Thank you @Rnlinebacker, @phoenixsomd@motosapiens for the respond.

Hi guys, Any suggestion for a limited division handgun below $2k, in 40SW caliber? I narrow down my options to the following two models: 1- CZ tactical orange 2- Tanfoglio Witness Xtreme CZ TSO is slightly heavier, which makes the recoil slightly more manageable and almost $200 cheaper. It also comes with a thumb-rest. Tanfoglio Witness Xtreme has a slightly better trigger and slide cut. But it is more expensive, and I need to buy a thumb-rest, separately for it. Also, in that price range, please give me your suggestions of any other model?

I've shot 1911 at the SS division. I shoot EAA (stock III Xtreme) at production and CZ (Czechmate) at the open divisions. While I really like G34, I found the weight balance of EAA is in my advantage when I reacquire the target. I checked a STI before, but did not shoot with it. While it is a well made handgun (obviously), the grip is a bit too big (or at least it was my first expression). I added the 2011 platform to my list because I wonder when shooting major, the design provides extra advantages. To the extend that it compensates the price difference. I guess Atlas titan with the optional small trigger, could potentially solve my issue with the grip size of 2011. Thank you guys for the feedback. I've decided to buy a TSO 40.

@Brooke and @B_RAD, thanks for the inputs. I basically want to know if the difference in price can be justified by the better design/built. While design of a handgun plays an important role in generating recoil and accuracy, I don't want to waste money on some exaggerated benefits.

Hi guys, could you please guide me on picking a handgun to shoot at USPSA limited division (40 S&W caliber), among the following options: 1- CZ TS orange, 2- EAA (Tanfoglio) Limited Custom Xtreme, 3- RIA pro Match with HCG package, and 4- Atlas Titan. I am not looking for buy a handgun now, and building my skills on it, and then upgrade and spend some extra time&money to adjust to the new platform. Saying that, I don't want to pay extra money for something that has virtually no additional positive effect on accuracy, recoil management, trigger control, ... I should add, look really does not matter. In the end, thanks in advance for your guide, and if you have any other suggestion beyond the four handgun I mentioned, I do appreciate if you share your thought.

Could you please guide me to pick a c-more mount for Tanfoglio/EAA gold team. Among the two types of mounting system (conventional and 90 degree) for the conventional choice, I have two options: 1- EAA mount (http://eaacorp.com/gun_accessories/index.php/witness-c-more-scope-mt-102205.html), and 2- DAA mount (https://www.doublealpha.biz/us/double-alpha-c-more-mount) for a 90 degree mount, I also have two options: 1- Henning (http://www.henningshop.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1284207&CAT=10066), and 2- Cheely (https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Cheely-Custom-C-More-Scope-Mount-Setback-Silver-P2407.aspx) (not sure for this one, I asked their customer service about the compatibility of their mount, and they respond it is only compatible with STI) I have two questions: - with regard to the 90 degree mount: I know the advantage of 90 degree is the minimal offset and disadvantage is blocking the left side of peripheral vision (and perhaps for the conventional mount, the pros and cons are the opposite). My question is, does the c-more with 90-degree sits far enough from the barrel ports to prevent the blast casing damage to the lens or cover it with carbon? Also, has anyone tried the Cheely on a Tanfoglio pistol? I want to know, is the c-more lens, mounted by Cheely, align with the tanfoglio barrel/slide? - with regard to the conventional mount: Does this mount make it hard to transit between production and open gun division competitions? So in general could you please help me to decide between the two mounting systems?
