Looking for Eaa Tanfoglio limited .40

[Mild Bill]

Have my money together, Federal primers on the way brass, and some upgrades to make to my press today. Going to order a couple things from Dillon, dies, and a set of pins to have my setup complete. Checked everywhere, cant find a pistol??? Anyone have a line on one, rather have a brand new one. If one is not available how about running a 10mm with bullets long? ( Atlas hows that working out?) Also I need bullets, what are you guys running?? RN, TC, coated, plated, lube grooves, or no? Also need mags and a holster setup what do you recommend? I could have posted for the extras on another part of the forum but its more of for this pistol only.

Thanks everyone, William.

I send my slide off for milling work, so I've haven't fired any more .40 through it, but I did do an interesting experiment with a .380 case which made it's way into my 9mm loads: it was a light steel load (3.15gr Clays under a 115) so I figured I'd shoot it and see what happens

It chambered fine and I could see the rim was securely behind the extractor so I shot it; it sounded funny as the brass fire formed to the chamber, but when I extracted it I could see what that article (http://www.thegunzone.com/10v40.html) warned of: there was a scratch in the rim where it pulled past the extractor with the primer ignition then it was slammed back into the breech face, flattening the primer against the head stamp.

Granted, this is obviously less likely to happen with 40/10 because the rim is exactly the same, but I can now see how it could happen.

Sent them a message.

They've been in stock a few time recently: http://http://oakhillguns.com/eaa-witness-limited-40-s-w.html

You can run plated bullets with excellent accuracy. I recommend Xtreme, but Rainier is good too.

Checked Texas have one decked out with mag well and trigger job for 1400 with only 1 mag and 2000 rounds thru it, seems a bit high. Tried oak hills first they are out of stock.contacted EAA and Italy is off for the summer all this month, and a month and a half to ship to the US. they have given me some leads to track down, I'm waiting to have a few calls returned.

...seems a bit high.

They are only going to continue going up in price. It's best if you bite the bullet and spend your hard earned money now rather than wait.

[Mild Bill]

I can get any other cal. for 1100$ or so.

[Cy Soto]

They were going for $900 not too long ago.

[jmbaccolyte]

Atlas- Where'd you send your slide to for milling?

[kneelingatlas]

I want to wait on the details until it comes back safe and sound. I've not had a good track record sending stuff out.

Found one,

Low mileage and fresh tires. Little old lady owned it and only used it to go back and forth to church.(kidding, what do you think?)

You're going to love it!

[gennaro]

It appears to have the Henning mag well, and possibly his grips, which can be hard to find sometimes, looks great.

What did the little old lady want for the gun that was only driven on Sundays to church ?

[Mild Bill]

Henning magwell, guide rod, aluminum grips, (firing pin) front and rear sights and a tuned 2.5# trigger. All of the factory parts were never shot and it were put in the bags that the Henning parts came put of and are included 2 mags with grams followers, springs and Henning base plates 1500$ All of it was setup by them.

Told the guy ordered 2 guns they sold 1 and I got the other.Said they set them up to run, tuned triggers, mags to hold 21 and he got bad sick and sold them right back to them. Says less than 2000 rounds but his guess was way less than 2000.

Love the Henning magwell. Makes a big asthetic improvement. Nice find!

Speaking of the henning magwell, where the heck do you get one for a large frame? Everywhere I see that sells them only have small frame!

[kneelingatlas]

You wait for Henning to get set up with a machine shop and make more.

Yeah, waiting on fixed sights, grips etc.... Damned Battlehook

[Nealio]

Fixed sights? I thought he did a big run of those just a couple months ago.

[BeerBaron]

nice score mild bill. You'll love it. it still surprises me that the US market doesn't get the nicely lightened slide like we do in aus, the lightened slide would be a benefit for limited for sure. .

if you want to get rid of the stock magwell I'm after a large frame stock magwell. actually is 40 large frame or small frame?

the henning grips and magwell are both good parts to have and improve look and function of the gun.

[Mild Bill]

Let me shoot it some, I may part with some stuff. I ordered 1000 extreme 180 grain plated bullets last night, have 7000 federal primers on the way. Have a couple pounds of tightgroup on hand. Will have to order some .40 dies this week. May be able to shoot it next weekend.

Need recommendations for a holster, and mag setup. Where are you guys buying mag parts and body's?
