Onagoth Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Are these guns the same? From what i understand eaa is the us distributor, but are the guns essentially the same? Ie, is the witness the same as the stock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 No, the witness is not the same as the Witness Stock 2. EAA is the distributor that wholesales Tanfoglio pistols in the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onagoth Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Does EAA rebrand them? Why are they just not known as tanfoglio if EAA is only the distributor? Just trying to figure out what EAA will work in my stock 3, if any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just trying to figure out what EAA will work in my stock 3, if any I don't know what this question means??? Are you curious which conversion kits will fit your Stock III? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onagoth Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Spare parts mostly, mags as well. Haven't really delved into it too much, but is say a mag for an EAA gun compatible with a tanfo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yes, there are small frame pistols and large frame pistols, that's the only difference you need to worry about. I've only held one Stock III and it was a small frame. Henning sells parts for both sizes. The triggers, hammers and springs are all the same; grips, mags, firing pins, mag wells, slides and barrels are different. Does that answer your question?

Onagoth Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yes thanks, Is henning pretty much the only place to buy parts? Or are there other places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Numrich also carries some Tanfo parts. Look under the brand EAA http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workingspy Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) In Canada all we can get is Tanfoglio but I happen to have an older EAA small frame. My friends Stock 1 is a small frame and has all the same parts as my EAA exept for the safety and the mainspring parts, the EAA has a large mainspring were the Tanfoglio has a newer short style. His Tanfoglio Stock 3 in forty is a small frame also and when I wanted to buy some Limited parts they ended up being large frame. All this confuses me and Ive been doing some reasurch and I found this off a CZ forum and now I'm even more confused lol, however it is interesting. "In some configurations I even prefer them to their CZ counterparts. Tanfoglio Witnesses are available in both small frame and large frame configurations; the small frame pistols are very similar dimensionally to CZ75s (grips/mags can interchange), but I'm pretty sure the Tanfo compact has a slightly shorter grip than a CZ compact. Originally the small frame pistols were 9mm/.40 and the large frame pistols were .38super/.45/10mm, but in 2005, all calibers were available in large frame; to further complicate matters, more recently small frame pistols came back in the form of "Witness Classic". If you're not confused enough, small/large frame has to do with the dimensions of the magazine well and the length of the rear part of the slide, but nothing to do with compact/full size (there are large frame compacts and full sized small frames)."

Duke Nukem Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Not true for mine. I have a Shadow and a Small frame stock II and the grips are completely different and not interchangeable. The CZ mag wont lock into the stock II but the stock II mag will lock into the CZ. All are factory Mags.

kneelingatlas Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 It's true that there are enough subtle differences between small frame Tanfos and CZs that I try not to mix mags. I shot a match with CZ75B .40 and the EAA mags seemed to fit good enough, but I had some unexplained malfunctions in the heat of battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenmotors Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Is IFG and Eaa same Co. Some one told me that is was and I insisted that it was not. I also told them that IFG is no longer in business. I hope I was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The owners of EAA tried for a moment to shake their crappy reputation by inventing IFG, same building, same phone number, different website and slightly different product line. We didn't buy it, they gave up. At least that's my assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
