Henning, Just a word of caution, be sure those 10mm mags seat properly in your 40 Limited. My 10mm mags do not seat in mine, nor did they fit in my 40 Stock. As mentioned in my post, Tanfoglio seems to have altered the mag well somewhat in the 40 caliber guns to fit the slightly different 40 mags. The 10mm mags will go in but only with considerable effort and will not drop free. Again this is with a large frame 40 and 10mm. John

My observation is that the 40 mags are more tapered at the front, resulting in a slightly shorter mag (front to back) with a tighter profile towards the nose of the rounds. None of mine have a spacer. The interesting thing to me is that having the 10mm mags fit tightly in the large frame 40 guns suggests that the guns themselves have slightly different internal mag well dimensions. I would have expected Tanfoglio to cut them all to the 10mm sized magazine dimensions. I have found that the 10mm magazines fit too tightly both in my current 40 Limited and my previous 40 Stock. As for magazine differences, one can stuff about 11 rounds of 10mm in the 40 mags before they hang up. I have done this on accident. Again I need to sort my mags better. I do have both kinds of 9mm mags, with track and without. My Stock runs fine with either after my smith (Jeff Cockrum) tuned it a bit. I did not have the tracked mag before he worked on it, so don't know if that would have made a difference. I also use the non-tracked mags to run .38 Super in my Match without problem. They appear to be identical to the current Super mags despite the 9mm marking. John

It is interesting that despite the 10mm and 40 being based on the same large frame platform, there are still magazine and mag well differences. I was practicing with my 40 Limited last night and accidentally got one of my 10mm Limited's mags in my bag. I was happily making magazine changes when the last mag got stuck in the well. Fortunately I had not pounded it with much force, but it broke my rhythm. The 10mm mags sort of fit in the 40, but do not drop free or seat without effort. I need to sort my mags out better. Right now I have this drawer full of 9mm, 38 Super, 40, and 10mm large frame mags all tossed in together. John The Tanfoglio competition guns now all use their "large" frame - even the .40 and 9mm guns. Since Tanfoglio large frame was designed to handle the .45 and .38 super OALs, then the magazines to fit these frames should also accomodate long-loaded .40 ammo (I would prefer a longer OAL when using straight Clays and N310 with 180s loaded to major). Henning - are the Tanfoglios throated to accept .40 loaded out to 1.200" or so? BTW - the extra room in the mag is a small difference between the CZ Tactical Sport .40 and 9mm (max OAL in the mag is 1.170") and the Tanfoglio competition guns.

Henning, A big thank you for setting up this forum and opening a shop to offer Tanfoglio competition ready accessories! I am a moderator on the CZ Forum Clone Club, and questions about gear for competition use often go without good answers. Those of us that shoot the guns have had to improvise. I help when I can, but don't remotely have your knowledge. I will look forward to your advise on this forum, and hope you don't mind if I post a link to it and your store on the Clone Club. By the way Marc Galli sends his regards. I work for him as the online rep for DSA at the Fal Files. Thanks again! John Howard
