HawkMoney Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thinking about shooting limited next year and I really like the tanfo platform. What do you guys do to your limited guns. Do people use stock 2's or 3's in 40 and start with the hammer cocked? Or are the single action triggers that better on the limited guns. Thumb rests? Some pictures would be cool.

aandabooks Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Tanfoglio has a line of guns that are purpose built for Limited division. They are generally $1100-$1200 new and are pretty much ready to run. I've never shot one but I've been told the triggers are acceptable. You'd just need enough extended mags. I think Patriot Defense still has a .40 in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronArcher Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 There is also the Match Xtreme for a 6" gun.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalShooter69 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Get a base model limited. Install a titan hammer, PD bolo, PD springs. Remove the pretravel screw. Get the chamber reamed by PD also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billthemarine2862 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The base model limited is a great choice. Pretty much able to run as is but, also very highly upgradable. I run a match Xtreme for steel challenge and 3 gun.I personally like the long sight radius and the lightened slide but, they are much more expensive considering that you still have to pony up for grips, magwell, and better basepads. The limited custom Xtreme is a viable option as well.Depends on your budget really, and what you plan on doing to your gun.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Or get a CZ TS and put a magwell and grips on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMoney Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Great advise guys! And thanks for the pictures. Right now I shoot a stock 2 with all the pd goodness. Is all of that really needed on the s/a limited gun since you aren't battling the horrible stock double action of the stock 2? Kind of leaning towards a gold match or limited extreme if I can get away with just polishing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 As you can see I went with CZ TS .40s. My triggers out of the box are 1.6 and 1.9lbs. In my opinion they don't need anything. When I was doing the research in previous threads it seemed the common consensus was that the order went Tanfo Lim Extreme>TSO>TS>Tanfo Limited.

The reason people were going with the extreme initially is because they didn't know they could run a titan and bolo. That made the trigger straight up 1911-esk. It will even be better than the TS.

The extreme wasn't a consideration due to cost. I bought first one in May for 1k. Added the second this week and thought about a base model Tanfo but then I'd be in for mags and extensions. Far cheaper to go another 1k on a TS. One of them will be getting a grip reduction, slide cuts and the frame drilled/tapped. I've located a 6" barrel that I will fit and thread.

billthemarine2862 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Out of curiosity why did you go with .40 over 9mm ?I shoot the 9mm in steel matches and 3 gun. I have a TS in .40 in case I want to shoot USPSA, until I finish my open build.If you plan on shooting mostly USPSA you should get one in .40.I have a BOLO and Titan but, they are not in my Match Xtreme. I am very happy with PD springs and the Delta hammer and sear as is. Honestly with the trigger as light as I have it I prefer the extra bit of pre-travel that I can put in my trigger this way. Plus, my TS trigger feels the same as my Match Xtreme this way. I did polish the plunger assembly and all holes as I did for my S3 even still.If you do go the CZ route get a T.S. Orange if possible. It is a pretty sweet set up out of the box.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw up some pictures once you get the grip reduction done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMoney Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 I was also interested it the ts orange but after reading the cz thread for a while it seems like people were having problems with them. Especially with the mags not always dropping free. That's one thing that tanfoglio designed better than cz, the whole mag catch assembly and getting rid of the mag break.

As has already been covered, that's the only choice which makes sense in USPSA Limited. A 9mm gun is only competitive in 3-gun where there is no distinction made between major & minor power factor.

sfinney Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Only choice that makes sense in Limited is a .40 for capacity, and major scoring, if you want to be competitive. If you are out to just have fun in USPSA Limited, and occasionally shoot Steel and 3-Gun ,etc, a 9mm can be nice crossover gun. But yes, it can be frustrating shooting Minor in Lim or Open or SS if you also look at and care about the score sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattooo Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I never shot USPA and just learned something new. Thanks for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
