They're just holes, use em' or not. I like the flexibility of being able to go more than one route to mount an optical sight and have a slide racker.

I advise you to if possible handle or better still shoot a friends gun you're thinking about before zeroing in on a brand or model.

I have a mental "check list" like I have for my boat. I don't leave my driveway to go boating or shooting without going over my checklist. That said, with a check list, I think I'd forget my underwear before mags, ammo and a gun.

That could be "at least 4/23" of NEXT year! It sounds like they need some web design help, maybe the guys that are doing the EAA site could... never mind, that one won't be done till next year!

That would have been a nice option, but I guess EAA likes holes in the dust cover? I got this one instead...

I want my LGS / dealers to visit the store you visited, down here dealers have Glock, 1911's and assorted cheapies, NOTHING like the selection you got to handle

I too would have held out for a few months had CZ been forthcoming with more info on the issue. Those are interesting thoughts on the vaporware aspect and I'm now questioning whether or not we'll ever see a DWX.

I think it's unlikely that will happen... design by "potential" buyer committee would be a bad idea. I'm sure they have sycophant test subjects that have slathered enough praise on it to make any design changes other than functional improbable. As it is, since I also wanted a DWX, like many others I've moved on, in my case I'm now firmly in the Tanfo camp.

Agreed 100% on everything but... "and competition shooters are the most vocal gun owners on line." I've heard shooters squeal like a stuck pig over a machine mark on the underside of slides and other minor issues that the owner could not even photograph

I do that for every new gun before I will carry it. Otherwise I give mine a chamber / bore brush, extractor pic / clean before any match and lube it.

I have Witnesses in .38 super, .40, and 10mm and found that some mags (all Tanfo supplied) can be reliably pressed into service for use in other calibers. My .38 super mags work 100% of the time for .40 and .9mm. I have plenty of 9mm mags but need .40's as well as .38's and I'm wondering if instead of buying a bunch of both, it other Tanfo owners have used super mags with success with 9 as well as (more importantly) with .40?

Hmm, I tried putting a slight radius on that corner but it did not change the top round scooting forward. But I don't think it really matters because on ejection the top round gets scooted all the way back into the mag from the slide. I guess you could always load it, remove the mag and scoot the top round back but it doesn't seem to affect reliably feeding.

Nowadays I only buy metalform for my 9mm Loaded Target. I have Colt, Shooting star and a few others and they all (mostly) work, but I trust the metalform. Also I like the pre-drilled holes in the metalform mags for pads.

+1 for brake cleaner.

I carry a Tanfo Limited pro. If I ever shoot competitively again, I'll shoot my either the Lim pro or Limited Custom, both are .40's. Hey Sean, I used to live in an upscale "safe" neighborhood and I found out that the safety was only assured when bad guys were not on the prowl. Unfortunately some in the area found out that upscale meant easy target, but luckily they lived to regret feeling safe, they started locking their doors, and bought a firearm.

I never had a problem with a heavier shotgun at clays "overswinging" nor with a heavier handgun. I think the tendency to over correct is more likely with a lighter gun so I'd never compete with one of my Berettas, they just feel too flimsy. For me the whole thing with weight is a balance between comfort and accuracy. Find that and you're golden. Nowadays I carry a Witness Limited pro with magwell which when loaded tips the scale at 50 ounces NP. I figure if petite female police officers can wear a vest, carry a gun, spare mags, stun gun, radio and handcuffs for an 8 hour shift I'm on shaky ground crabbing about a few ounces plus or minus on a single firearm.

I'm looking at Ben Stoeger's site for optic mounts: https://benstoegerproshop.com/gun-parts/tanfoglio/red-dot-optic-mounts/ I've also looked at PD's page on slide milling. I wrote them about particulars on the slide below regarding probably not needing slide lightening service and the cost. So as it stands, there's about a 5x uplift for milling a slide. Other than a lower sight plane, and lighter weight with milling, what benefits vs. cost are there between the two for the slide below?

I hear you, I have a set of steel panels under my rosewood grips on my Gold Cup Delta 10mm. The bit of extra recoil reduction is GR8 for shooting pins!

Egads, EAA is changing names on their pistols more often than I change my socks! I own a few Tanfos and other than my 1990's 10mm compact I have to struggle to remember which is which. I totally agree on their chrome finishes at their attractive price point (compared to other similar) and weird set of options (SAO or DA/SA, rail/no rail, long/short bbl. chrome, blue, tancoat, and many calibers) they are REALLY hard to beat.

I went to Henning first but they did not have any of the shorter grips for the magwell, so I got genuine Tanfo grips from EAA. As it happens as of today (7-1-20) EAA has the magwell grips IN STOCK in Elite style silver and black for $75.00 (model #102215 and X015 respectively) each. A pretty good deal. Black https://eaacorp.com/store/shop-full-width/parts/grips/tanfoglio-black-aluminum-grips-large-frame-with-magwell-x015/ Silver Elite https://eaacorp.com/store/shop-full-width/parts/grips/10-standard-comp-frame-aluminum-grip-102215-10/

In the above post I also received a Tanfo magwell, and I just ordered another magwell from them at: https://jandlgunsmithing.com He said he has more left... I thought some of you might like to know. Nice guy, F-A-S-T shipping

With mail purchases being hit or miss with expectations I've come to "expect the worst, and accept the best" with regards to quality and fitment. A set of Tanfo aluminum grips (I've never had aluminum grips) came in today for my Limited Custom and they far exceed my expectations. The OEM wood grips are OK, but these are slimmer (making the grip slimmer by over 1/4" in circumference) and provide better griping surface. Very cool. The problem is, now I want them on all of my Tanfos :-) If anyone is on the fence about upgrading to Tanfo aluminum grips I think they're a good investment.

If my understanding of the IFG business model is correct that they can only import what EAA does not, I surmise that since EAA has a pretty wide selection of models that most makers couldn't hope to have, IFG may have a tough nut to crack with only the small frames and whatever bones in the product lines are left I hope they do well, competition is a good thing. Anyway, Tx and Fla must have some reciprocal tax sharing agreement as I'm more often than not having to pay sales tax on purchases in Tx.

My last visit to a range I've been shooting at since the 70's has gotten in disrepair to the point that I have to find another indoor range to train at. It's too bad too. They have two lanes with floor to ceiling steel lined walls that a shooter can draw to their heart's content. Does anyone in the southeast (Dade, Broward, and PB counties) have info a range that is setup so shooters can draw?

EAA calls 4.75" slides a "long slide" I disagree but I didn't get a vote when they setup the parts nomenclature. https://eaacorp.com/store/shop-full-width/parts/conversion-kit/10mm-conversion-kit-longslide-w-super-sight-wonder/ .
