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.. There are slide stops availabke That don't protrude. I think Henning Or graufel makes one. It completely eliminates the external control. It also does assay with last shot hold open though. But in a match, you'll privacy reload before last shot anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 can't use non Tanfo parts in Production, and the whole reason I want a flush slidestop is the same reason I run flush safeties, I grip really really high and end up riding the controls. A flush slidestop like I have on my Shadow, will stick lock the slide back, even if my hand is waaay up there, something that does happen from time to time when a plan goes wrong, or you shoot like crap.

C-Money Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I would also want a low profile slide stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Hmm. Not familiar with the Unica product line (that means "only" in Italian according to Google)... http://www.tanfoglio.it/eng/home.php Look at the bottom, on the left side. EDIT: I'm pretty jazzed they have a Unicorn logo, however! Edited October 19, 2016 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) 46 euros for a safety is steep. On the other hand, G10 grips for 56 euros I would get few Edited October 19, 2016 by JusticeOfToren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Agreed... Those G10s look sweet. I'll email EAA today and see when we can get some of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryridesmotox Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 EAA just emailed me back. They have no plans to carry the unica parts line. Soooooo either Grauffel or wait for Patriot Defense to carry the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes complete sense. Looks like we will have to order them through Grauffel for a while. Not sure if Stoeger, Henning, or Patriot Defense will carry them in the future, but they might want to consider it. They already carry Grauffel parts, so this would be another step. The G10 grips would save me time from doing my own Micarta griips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Except we have no idea what they'll look like, right? For all we know, they'll be even thinner than the aluminum EGD ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Possibly, But they are also 50 bux. If I don't like them, I'll make micarta grips anyways... I may do that here soon anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB86 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) I need this part. One of the only things stopping me from running a Tanfo is the lack of a flush safety. Edited October 22, 2016 by CarlB86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryridesmotox Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) It must be a generational thing... When I was learning how to shoot... My dad taught me to ride the safety of the 1911 he was instructing me with. Is the current supply of striker guns with no external safeties just taking that method away? I've been hearing that whole thing, I want the smallest safety possible, a lot lately. To each their own for sure. Your gun, do whatever you want to it to make it comfortable for you, hack put a dildo on the recoil spring cap like a makeshift bayonet for all I care. But, I'll tell you what, when I shoot My stock2 and I have my thumb up on that big safety shelf, all feels right in the world.

slavex Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 A much higher grip can be obtained without safeties as shooters have been doing for a looong time with Berettas, Sigs, CZs etc. Trying to achieve the same grip with prominent safeties means no matter how much you push down with your thumb your going to push those safeties right back up when your support hand gets into position. And with these guns being DA first shot the safety is really quite useless, I'd love to see them offer flush fit plugs like Grand Power does.

ryridesmotox Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I grip the gun high, My support hand is usually in contact with my strong hand. I pretty much sandwich the safety lever between the pads of my paws there. I've been shooting that way since I can remember with 1911s. I don't ever recall one time where I flipped a safety on while I had a proper grip. The tip of my right thumb rests on the pad of the palm where the knuckle of my left thumb is, for lack of a better anatomical description. The safety is under my right thumb. It comfortable for me because I have shot for 25 years like that. When I got hired on my department and got my HK P2k, no external safety... I had the damnedest time trying to figure out what to do with my big ass thumbs. I have a guy who I do some business with... He LOVES these New totally flat safety levers... WHATEVER floats one's boat. When they come out I'll get 2 of them so I can slap one on each of his guns for him. I'll give them a good honest go one time just to see how they feel though.

slavex Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 My support sits squarely on top of where the safeties would be on my CZ or my Tanfo, I've been shooting with that grip for 30 years, started on Berettas and SIG. Don't own, nor shoot, a 1911 specifically because of safeties, and hating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It also has a lot to do with the size your hand, how long your thumb/fingers are I wish I could sit my thumb on the safety but physically it is impossible with a thumb that is only 1.5 inches long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
