slavex Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Grabbed one of these for the unicorn (Stock II) in my vault back home. As far as I know this is a brand new item (maybe I missed a post). Got it from Eric at the Tanfo booth at European Champs in Eger, Hungary. Flush left side safety for the Stock II and III. No right side at all as they couldn't shave it down enough and have it pinned to the leg. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Guessing it's not production legal? I really want to ditch my right saftey and a slim left saftey would be a added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 it's a factory part sold by factory guys at the match, so it is legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to come from the factory on a production legal gun to be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I like using the safety as a thumb rest. This would be great for a concealed carry gun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goshimu Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It'll prob end up being factory fitted to the stock 1 at a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 If that is the USPSA rule that's different than IPSC, for IPSC it's a legal part as it's from the factory, simple. There has been a lot of demand for this part as a lot of PD shooters like to get a really high grip on the gun with their support hand and you can't do that with paddle safeties, you end up pushing them up and on.

johnbu Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 ?? Why? I prefer to ride the safety with my thumb, on top pushing the safety down with an even higher grip! 1 hour ago, slavex said: If that is the USPSA rule that's different than IPSC, for IPSC it's a legal part as it's from the factory, simple.

MissionaryMike Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I like riding the safety as well. However, my thumbs are more like nubs, so sometimes it works, other times not. I've accidentally engaged the paddle safety in a match before. It's a killer. I have thin safeties on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedahlenius85 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Bought one too from Eric. Exactly what I was waiting for. Skickat från min SM-G925F via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpipe95 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I just run the smaller witness saftey, anything else and I bump it on due to the crappy detent design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceinyerface Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The unofficial official ruling on factory Tanfo parts is- since Tanfoglio will build the gun to your specs (although the US distributor won't allow you to) at the factory, they are all legal.

aceinyerface Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Uspsa bro. Of course it is an unofficial ruling because it was emailed to a member from the dnroi instead of being posted on the Uspsa website. You'd need to read this...

Garmil Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Interesting. Not going to read 9 pages. I just assumed the rules applied still. Haven't heard this safety has come on a production legal gun out of the factory. If it has already then sure it's legal. Any other components which are externally visible may ONLY be replaced with OFM parts which are offered on the specific model of gun or another approved gun from the same manufacturer except as specifically clarified below. Examples of external components which may only be replaced with OFM parts include (but are not limited to): magazine releases, slide stops, thumb safeties and triggers.

aceinyerface Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 You could email Eric, I'm sure he would give you the same story as on the Titan hammer. Pffffft! Rules?!? You must be a comedian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusticeOfToren Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I emailed Eric but got no reply. These are the new unicorns. $200 apiece I bet still will sell well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 200 a piece would be ridiculous. I'm just trying to outfit a friends gun with them. I like riding the safety like pretty much all 1911 shooters. But he doesn't. So these are right up his alley... Let us know what grauffel says about them. And put me down for 2 if they need numbers.

slavex Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I paid 40€ for the one pictured above. And, I was mistaken, while Eric was at the booth, it was actually Tanfoglio's booth. I believe it was Christopher Tanfoglio I got it from (not 100% sure on the first name). So definitely a factory part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Did they say if they were going to make it available on the website or anything? They aren't even listed on Grauffel or Tanfoglio's webstie. I'll hit up EAA and see if we can get some. Slavex... Could you get a part number for me off the packaging please?

tedahlenius85 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I might have bought one extra. Will sell for $189 plus shipping. its a unicorn indeed. Complete gamechanger. Tanfoglio only made one factory batch. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 no part number on the bag, sorry. just a Tanfoglio bag. They did say they'd be on the website this week or next though, but I'm not sure who's website they meant, Tanfo or Eric's. But if you email Eric I am sure he can find out for you. It's simply a black, left side, flat safety. Makes my Stock II a much nicer gun to hold onto. Now I just need a similar slidestop.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
