Tanfoglio elite limited 40 sw major power factor. 165 vs 180

[Tonyscomputery]

I have a question for anyone that shoots major with a elite limited. Do you prefer 165 at 1000fps or slower 180s? And why?

I should have my first tanfoglio this week. And have been trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can format the tanfo guru's

Closest I can get for you is 180's to 200's

200's are very polite, push the gun and allow very easy sight tracking

180's are more abrupt "feel" a little snappy but "seem" to allow the sights to come back in alignment quicker

When I'm only shooting a few rounds a week I like the 200's

When I'm dry firing a lot and shooting more each week I like the "feel" of the 180's

Note the quotes, this is all subjective to "me"

On the clock I split them the same with the qualifier being only 2 alphas count for the split time. That forces me to make sure I'm seeing the sights on all shots and not just shooting by feel etc

My suggestion is get a 1000 of each and shoot them and see what "feels" better to you. Then do a bunch of drills on the clock with tuxedo targets or head shots etc to make sure its verified. Make sure it's on the timer, to qualify what your feeling.

Hope that helps

180s, supposedly 165s feel better out of 6in. guns.

Thanks for the input. That has been my experience in the past. But this will be my first "heavy" gun and wasn't sure if it changed things.

I have shot both and can not tell the difference so I go with the 180s as they are cheaper.
