[emjei]

Hey guys......is the Tanfoglio Slide Stop prone to breakage like the CZ is ???

I haven't managed to break one yet.

I am new to Tanfos. Would love to know what are the parts easily broken, trigger bar? trigger return spring? Will need to have some spare in the range bag.

Thanks.

Keep a couple trigger return springs handy. That's all I've broken.

The slide stops can break. I've broken at least one, maybe two. Some people use the tool steel pin from EGW. Those are pretty robust but you lose the mag release part of the functionality.

I managed to dry fire enough to round the corner of the firing pin block so the safety check would fail.

I just tried the #83 o-ring on the back of the firing pin. It works great to protect the hammer hitting on the firing pin in dry fire.

I use my used disposable ear plugs and it dampens the impact. Seems to work also.

I discovered that CZ Shadows Slide Stop fit the Stock 2 perfectly .....and its cheaper

I think banzaicroc just misspoke, but the tool steel slide stop doesn't remove magazine release functionality, it eliminates slide lock and last shot hold open functionality.

Yep, I meant slide lock on last shot. You're right.

emjei, it's my impression that CZ slide stops break a lot more frequently than Tanfo stops. If that's correct, consider whether you want to move to a CZ part simply for cost savings.

emjei, are you talking about a large frame or a small frame for use with the Shadow slide release? Can the Tanfo slide release be used on a Shadow?

I moved from CZ Shadow to Stock 2 for obvious reasons

I know by experience that CZ Slide Stops break when you least need them too.

I found a spare slide lock on my tool box and realized that it works therefore that one will become my practice one.....the OEM will be my Match one.

Nothing wrong by saving $$$

Ps

My Stock 2 is a Large frame

My 9mm Limited has almost 30k on it, and I haven't broken anything. I change springs every 10k or so. My other guns are all under 10k and they haven't had anything broken either.

But I think the .40's hammer stuff a lot more.

[glefos]

Yes, 40 is much harder on equipment. Rear sights (3) and extractors (2) seem to be the most prone to breakage. I change all springs every 3-5k, but oddly enough I broke a recoil spring recently. Gun is a Limited.

This is AWESOME!

What makes you believe this is from dry fire?
