jaep1911 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I wish Tanfoglio would get their quality control in order. I have a Match 9mm and a Match .40, both made in about 2003-2005, they are top notch in fit and finish. The Limited I bought in 2010 and the one I just purchased have had numerous quality issues. I know next time I'll order several and ship back the others that fail inspection. In this age of CNC, I just don't know how some of this stuff gets made wrong in the first place. Agreed. The trigger pin on my E Limited is not centered in the recess and it is visible by my old eyes rialcel - sorry to hear the disappointing story. Hope Tanfo will sort it out for you.

I agree that the quality control is a little lacking. I have had small things wrong but nothing major; sometimes I feel like switching back to a Glock or going to a 2011 but I shoot a match and I remember why I bought a Tanfoglio in the first place. This year will be my make or break year for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercooler2 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I thought the Hard Chrome would have cost more. Not bad for such a durable finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrazeauRacing Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I thought the Hard Chrome would have cost more. Not bad for such a durable finish. Was the frame originally hard chromed or blued? How much was it to have this done, and where did you send it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 It's a blued Hunter frame originally. I sent it here: http://www.apwcogan.com/plating-and-refinishing/finishes-metal-finishes.html It's going to be about $200 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penobscot Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Is it just me or was the barrel on that Gold Match pretty pitted on the outside Yeah, good catch. Kinda odd that they would produce that barrel, deem it to be acceptable, put it in one of their high end products, and THEN use that to advertise the product!

BeerBaron Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm not sure if it's pitted or not. could be the dark bits are pieces of unburnt powder and the light bits are just little drops of oil etc that look like pitting. all my tanfog barrels have always had a nice finish to them.

Onagoth Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I purchased/pre ordered a tanfoglio stock III xtreme. paid just under 2000$ CAD for it. I was told it would be here in July last year, it took 27 weeks and arrived last month in December. I was very excited to finally receive it and rushed it off to the range to shoot it. Shooting it for the first time was probably the most disappointing thing I have ever done. Out of the box it was shooting low and way right. I just thought that some half blind drunk italian guy zeroed it at the factory. So my friend and I proceeded to zero it with the fancy rear sight tool it came with which didn't work worth a hoot. My friend is very knowledgeable when it comes to this sort of thing and less than 10 minutes later he had it perfectly zeroed. Unfortunately this is what the rear sight looks like zeroed. I can understand having to adjust elevation, but to have to crank the windage all the way to the left seems unacceptable to me. I mailed it back to the retailer the other day under warranty. I am very worried that this will not end well. On top of that the "tuned" da/sa trigger is no where as nice as I have my cz shadow trigger set up. "High quality standards" This is exactly how one of the rear sights looks on my regular stock 3. It wasn't so bad when I was shooting AIMs, but when I switched to frontier, it is all the way to one side. Looks odd, but gun is zeroed and it works fine. I'll check with a friend of mine and see what his is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
