Fasthenk65 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Here in Europe we only have the small frame Tanfo's for 9mm. Do all the PD parts (e.g. the Bolo) also fit the small frames???? Tnxs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2cazzo Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I installed the Bolo, hammer spring, fp spring, with awesome results. Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiedras Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 IIRC, the only parts that don't fit small frames are the grips and the extended firing pin. I have the bolos in my two small frame s2s and will prolly put two more on my small frame s3s. You will need to do some fitting on the bolos, particularly how they interact with the trigger bars. I'll see if I can find the pic I took of two different small frame trigger bars. One works, the other doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats called a CZ and they're available everywhere. I don't know about anyone else, but I be shooting a CZ instead of a Tanfo if the gun wasn't built for tiny little hands. Which brand I chose didn't particularly matter to me - the two guns are nearly identical twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, CZ nut-huggers are too p**** whipped to realize it. Actually I will say, you are right about the hand size aspect of it. There a lot of man-girls using CZ because of that.

I've shot both, they're different like a roush is different from a Callaway, even if they have the same donor body.The smoother cz trigger from no firing pin block is offset by, for me at least, better ergonomics of the tanfo. But potato/potatoe, at least I don't have to worry about trigger return springs and slide stops randomly breaking on a tanfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grip panels are not interchangeable. Some people are under the impression that small frame tanfos feel small in the hands like a cz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eapecially since the small frame guns can wear some CZ grips with a few modifications. I thought the small frame was physically smaller, and the gun felt like a CZ in the hand.

I have shot them and they certainly do not feel small in the hands like a CZ. You probably would not be able to tell a difference by just looking at them side by side at a glance.

This is true, i can put some numbers out this afternoon on frame dimensions of the two. Probably the only difference would be the large frames seem to have a raised front and rear back strap that have the checkering cut into them, where as the small frame (at least the one we have) has the checkering cut into the frame. So maybe 1/16th of an inch front and back difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB86 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Small frames also share mags with CZ which is nice for people that like both CZ and Tanfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, I've had bolos drop right in small frames, and needed to extensively fit large frames. So a bolo will work in either frame size, just of it needs fitting is independent of the actual frame tolerances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can "make" lots fit with effort, grinding or welding. The hot set up used to be the T3 disconnector and it took a lot of fitting. A LOT. Be sure to photograph your efforts. Always fun to see how this stuff turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
