Livn68 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Thanks to some members on here, I'm a happy owner of a VERY lightly used, and in pristine condition Elite Limited .40S&W! It came to me with the 13# hammer and 10.75# recoil spring, EG Trigger, and EG Grips. The previous owner had done some polishing of the internals, and it shows with the smooth, light SA pull that breaks around 2# (according to my highly accurate trigger finger ) I've shot IDPA for a couple of years and just moved into USPSA this year. I wasn't very far into my first USPSA match before deciding that this is the shooting sport I want to focus on. I started off with a RIA TAC Ultra FS in 40 that I shot in Limited 10, but its questionable reliability left much to be desired. In the meantime I picked up a STI LDC frame that I planned to build into a limited gun. After being pointed in the direction of Tanfos by my friend, and some research, I decided to sell the RIA and STI and get the beauty in the pics. I picked up 4 more mags and have 3 Henning/ Grams kits to install. I also picked up the DAA Racer kit from CED to bet properly geared up. Now to hit the LnL and run some drills in preparation for the August match next week! Here she is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrtyWood Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Nice!!!! Put a *thumb rest [generic]* on it with a Henning trigger and fly................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prov1x Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Nice!!!! Put a *thumb rest [generic]* on it with a Henning trigger and fly................ It doesn't need a henning trigger. The grauffel pro trigger that's on there is pretty sweet. I should know :-) Edited August 16, 2015 by Prov1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livn68 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Forgot to mention that I plan on a thumb rest on it too. Pardon my ignorance, but why did you word it *thumb rest [generic]* Do you mean that any of them will do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selecw Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hopefully with a bit of dryfire it won't look quite so pristine for too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Lovely looking gun. You're on the right track with henning pads and grams internals. Probably the only mod I'd suggest is the henning magwell. It works well with his pads, improves the grip and makes relays easier. It's expensive but worth it.

SCPistolero Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 My pistol is inbound. Are those Xtreme grips the Large size with magwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnit Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) My pistol is inbound. Are those Xtreme grips the Large size with magwell? Yes . Large frame grips, get the size specifically for the magwell. Great looking gun and excellent grips. Edited November 25, 2015 by gunnit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCPistolero Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) So I got my pistol in today in .45 ACP and its gorgeous. I removed the front post sight easy enough. When I tried to insert the fiber optic sight, it did not easliy fit into the dovetail. Hate to think I need to sand my brand new sight so that it fits into my brand new gun. That's wack. I love the gun and I definitely plan to do the silver Xtreme grips. Also got an 11 lb, 3.5 oz. recoil spting and a 12.5 lb. recoil spring. Not sure why I would use them since I fully expect the spring it has in it to work perfectly (+P loads maybe?). Please educate me... Being a lefty, I got totally robbed with the thumbrest being on left side instead of the right side where it BELONGS. But I'll live with it. Over the top with plusses vs. than minuses.
