AICS308 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have been doing a little research on these pistols and have decided I might want one. I also have a number of questions that I hope can be answered. 1. Is it possible to get a pistol with Tanfoglio markings instead of EAA? 2. The Limited Custom Xtreme on the Tanfoglio website really sounds like what I want but is not listed on the EAA website. Is this pistol available in the US? 3. Are there any shops that specialize in working on these pistols in the US? 4. Any suggestions on the best place to find these pistols for sale in the US? Thanks for any help.

aandabooks Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Also interested in Tanfoglios. Responding to keep track of thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverUsername Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 1. Next to impossible other than the few IFG imports. 2.word on the street that EAA will import them soon. 3.Henning (parts), canyon creek(smith/parts/guns), shooter.biz (smith/parts/guns) eric grauffel (parts) there may be others. 4. Just have to google and get on mailing list for most of the good ones. May catch a used one on the classifieds here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahai808 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It is possible to find them used. I have a few friends that have them (Stock 2 and 3). I hope to talk to Tanfoglio at Shot and get more info on the Xtreme line of pistols! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help. 1 Yes it is possible to get them 2 Have not seen the limited custom Xtreme here in the US, Since its a limited gun/standard gun id think a lot more guys just want to build their own from a regular EAA Limited and save few bucks and come up w/ something better or as good. they look more for Production pistols 3 Jim Boydkin and his shop is a good place to get Tanfo work done. 4 if you know a lot of FFL's maybe they can go the extra mile to check their resources, mine does wonders for my hard to find pistols. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunslingerDK Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It is possible to find them used. I have a few friends that have them (Stock 2 and 3). I hope to talk to Tanfoglio at Shot and get more info on the Xtreme line of pistols! What info are you looking for? The stock 2/3 Xtreme have a more durable finish and contain the following parts: Xtreme hammer Xtreme firing pin Xtreme front sight Xtreme guide rod Xtreme aluminum grips Xtreme base pads for the magasines. They are also polished internally from the factory. I have handled them all, they are nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlussoro Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 https://www.freedomventures.ca/products/firearms check this place out they have all the xtreme models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onagoth Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) https://www.freedomventures.ca/products/firearms check this place out they have all the xtreme models They do not ship/sell to the US I'm not in Canada - There's something I want to purchase. Sorry, we only sell our products in Canada. Look under the FAQ "Manufacturer Website Links & Who we represent" and follow the link to the manufacturer website, and they can direct you to a representative in your country.

CHA-LEE Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 https://www.freedomventures.ca/products/firearms check this place out they have all the xtreme models The Limited gun is listed for $2255............. That is a pretty hefty price tag. Especially when you can order an EAA Witness Limited and upgrade it with all of the same parts for about $1900. Paying an extra $355 for a "Tanfoglio" name on the side is a pretty stiff up charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AICS308 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 https://www.freedomventures.ca/products/firearms check this place out they have all the xtreme models Thanks for the info, they do have everything. Why is it these are available around the world except here in the US. Just don't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying an extra $355 for a "Tanfoglio" name on the side is a pretty stiff up charge. After reading the Tangoglio website, the Xtreme models do have some custom work. I think a trigger job, smoothing and fitting of slide to frame and maybe some other stuff. You are right though, start with a Limited and add parts and gunsmith work and still have money for other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onagoth Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The extreme models also have a ceramic finish as well. I also thought each gun was looked over personally by EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onagoth Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) each gun was looked over personally by EG That might have value to some people....I'm not sure why you would find that so silly. When I added up the CDN cost of the parts, it damn near totalled the cost of the extreme package, and by my calcs, the ceramic finish and certificate was provided at little to no cost.
