Taumas Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi all, I want to adquire a new pistol and I’m in doubt. I’ve 2 different quotes, from 2 different dealers. Dealer 1. Tanfoglio Stock III special Xtrem guide custom tanfoglio Sear Tanfoglio Xtrem Titan Hammer Xtreme firing Pin Xtreme Front Sight Double action trigger Xtreme Tanfoglio Magazine (A total of 3 magazines. If I want one more about 65$) (Springs and adjustment free) A total price of 1.430 €. (As € is about dollar, lets say 1430$ USD). Seems that adjustment is going to be well done. The gunsmith is one of the few in the world approved by Tanfoglio. Anway I’m not saying that any other gunsmith won’t do well. Dealer 2. Tanfoglio Stock III Xtreme (with 4 magazines) 1.340€ so 1.340$ USD Just the pistol no more improvements. I’ve been Reading the forum, specially. /forums/index.php?showtopic=189052&hl=%2Bxtreme#entry2091331 /forums/index.php?showtopic=222775&hl=%2Bxtreme#entry2483539 In this link s0nny_g17 recommends “Install the titan hammer and light springs(mainspring & firing pin) to your xtreme”. /forums/index.php?showtopic=213730&hl=%20xtreme&page=1 and others. I can't post the entire link. And now the question is. Should I go for the Dealer 1 Tanfoglio Stock III Special (everything allready done, I hope) or for the Dealer 2 Tanfoglio Stock III Xtreme, (and do by myself the improvements)?. Improvements = at least Xtreme Titan Hammer and springs (By the way, I don’t know what springs are). Is the Titan Hammer installation easy enough for a newbie?. As I read "Shadetree gunsmithin' isn't for the faint at heart" by Kneelingatlas. With this, what would you recommend me to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 For only $90 extra? The first one, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-mishka Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Option 1 , just for the fact that gunsmith will tune it for you locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagi Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Option 1 - "The gunsmith is one of the few in the world approved by Tanfoglio." Plus the Stock 3 special is silver in finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Option 1 seems a better deal, but not by a lot. I'd go with what finish I liked the best since that's the most significant difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
