hav3n Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thinking about getting a Limited Pro but want to shoot it for production and for SSP/ESP. The guy on gunbroker says the Limited Pro he's selling is a 2016 production but the pictures have both the old beaver tail and the new beaver tail in the pictures. What year did they start with the shorter fatter beaver tail that fits the IDPA box? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElMateo487 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Can you post the pictures here? I believe it was mid to late 2015 and after are the newer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly certain it'll be the new model, but best to email them and ask. You definitely need the new model for it to fit the box. My new model touches both sides of the official IDPA box and BARELY fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably just going to buy from Ben's pro shop since they'll know what the hell i'm talking about. Is that where you got yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fischeac Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I bought mine from Oak Hill guns about 2 months ago. Fits in the IDPA box once the right side safety is removed, or you put on a single sided safety from a normal Witness pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike62 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 2015 LTD Pro fits with ease. I swapped safety to a standard witness one from Ben's store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hav3n Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for all the help everyone. Placed my order this weekend. Oak Hill DOES ship fast. Took them about 4 hours and it was shipped. Will update the thread after I try the gun in the box when I pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElMateo487 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Congrats! I really love my Lim Pro. If you are a trigger psycho be prepared to learn how every part works. Personally, I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hav3n Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Picked up my Lim Pro yesterday afternoon. I was pretty freaking excited. First thing - YES It has the shorter beavertail. Will go in the IDPA box tonight to confirm I'm set for SSP/ESP and Production with this gun. That said - the trigger is absurdly heavy right now in Stock condition. Is this normal? Like #12 DA and #5 or #6 SA. On the up side the single action has very little creep for a factory trigger. I have all the trigger parts on order so I'm not overly worried about how my trigger will eventually feel after a trigger job I'm just wondering if there isn't something wrong with my trigger as is? Anything to look for? I field stripped it last night and cleaned and oiled it. I'll do a detail strip this weekend and maybe a polish job while I wait on parts.

eboadway Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Those trigger weights are right on the mark for a bone stock Tanfo. Polish the crap out of it, replace springs and bits as necessary and you'll easily cut those in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElMateo487 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yup. My Lim Pro had the exact same trigger weights out of the box. Bought it a few months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbu Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) While you wait for the fancy parts.... Polish the plunger and the hole it goes in. As the head moves, there should be no "zipper feel" from tooling marks. then the trigger bow where the plunger rides. next the hammer strut and hole. Then the hammer pins and holes. then the firing pin channel, firing pin, block and it's hole. Chamfer the bottom edge of the breech face, the face and the rib down the center of the slide. the extractor hook needs to be removed to polish the FP channels, polish it up too. I detail polish the rails in the slide and frame. Plus all the normal things, but the above get the most attention. The one thing I do NOT touch is the sear face. It's only surface hard and too easy to burn through. I do polish the holes and pins for the sear. Doing the above, I brought a friends S2 down to 8 1/2# da 4#+sa with all factory parts and good lube. It was in that 11-12# da range to start Edited October 23, 2016 by johnbu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the up and down play in the video without the mag. With a mag it fits the same length wise but just has less play up and down. Here's it going into the same box as part of a box start from the IDPA match that night.@ 4:28 https://youtu.be/icVCKzPp_SY?t=4m28s It is too wide and you'll have to replace or remove the safeties with different ones (i'm just going to take off the right side one for now).
