Onepocket Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Which one for USPSA production and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The question should really be: which one can you find? I've shot both and I prefer the Limited Pro; I feel like it's better balanced, the Stock II feels a little nose heavy to me but that's subjective, objectively you get an extra 1/4" of sight radius, barrel and recoil system. What's a 1/4" between friends? that's up to you to decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny32182 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have both, and all else being equal I think you'd have to be EG to notice any kind of difference in performance. They "feel" very slightly different in that, as mentioned, the entire weight difference is right at the muzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 NY does the stock 2 shoot flatter being heavy in the front? Can you shoot coated bullets like Buyou? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yes you can shoot coated bullets. The stock 2 may shoot flatter based upon your technique. The Limited Pro has almost no muzzle rise so...It is going to depend on what YOU like. No one can answer this question for you. I personally preferred the Limited Pro but it was like swinging a boat anchor which was why I sold mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny32182 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 My stock 2 is 9mm and Lim pro is .40 minor, so not STRAIGHT apples to apples, but both stay very flat and cycle quickly compared to the plastic I used to shoot. Probably the stock 2 is just a hair better the way I have them set up now; could be the caliber, or the weight, or the fact that I've shot 10x more rounds through it than the Lim Pro.

Onepocket Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 If all I can get is a Limited Pro in 9mm should I get it or wait longer for the stock 2. I really wish they would have left production to cheap mass produced pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I really wish they would have left production to cheap mass produced pistols. There is absolutely no reason you cannot be competitive with a cheap and easy to get Production pistol. The differences between this ($460): and this ($1,230): are very subtle and relatively superficial. Sure, the checkering feels better, it has cooler sights and a prettier finish, but only you can decide how much that's worth to you. The fire control mechanisms are the same, so you can get just as good a trigger from a $500 gun or a $1,500 gun (they both leave much to be desired out of the box).

chuck s Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I too have both in 9mm and I really cannot tell much difference when shooting them. The pro feels better to me and is just as accurate as the s2. My pro happens to have a better trigger than the s2, but that is a product of after market gun smithing , not the gun. If you can find a pro in 9mm, grab it. CZ shadows have better triggers by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverUsername Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The non removeable front sight of a standard witness steel is enough for me to want a competition framed witness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) If you can find a pro in 9mm, grab it. CZ shadows have better triggers by the way. correct on both counts! Speaking of CZs, you can also get an SP01 for ~$650, do some trigger work (http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=191773) and easily compete with $1,600 Shadows . The non removeable front sight of a standard witness steel is enough for me to want a competition framed witness. This is a valid point and not one I usually consider as I prefer all black sights, although getting a front sight cut in is something you can have done for <$100. One important note: once you let the sharp checkering of a Tanfoglio competition frame bite into your hand, nothing else will do! (OK, so maybe a couple bucks worth of skateboard tape will get you close ) Edited May 20, 2014 by kneelingatlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I happen to think the Stock II is just the best production pistol out there, (just my opinion) but I have fondled other tanfos and have a Stock I in 9mm as well. Personally I don't think you can go wrong with either the stock or Lim pro. Finding them is prolly the hardest part of the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madworx Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The limited pros are awful pistols, if you happen to find one let me know, I will take it off your hands and finally have a backup pistol. I love my tanfo! Oh wait...um cz's are more better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhf Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If you can find one in 40 go for it, might have better chance. I have a stock 2 shooting 40 minor and it's a very flat shooting gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealio Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If you can find an older Baby Eagle (full size, steel) they are amazing guns. IMHO shoots flatter than the Stock II and LimPro because of the shorter and lightened slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Hepworth Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 the round trigger guard unit in the picture above likely does not have the generous magwell opening....although it take a lot of the same parts. I have a P40-L, small frame .40. WOrks good,..only changed some springs,...put a better firing pin in it,..put aluminum grips on it, and a better front sight. Needs some polishing.
