Gridlock Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ok iam thinking of dropping down to 9mm I owen a tanfoglio witness Limited 40. I woukd like to go to 9mm becouse i dont shoot enough of competition to do 40 or anything really big mostly local. So i still like thr witness but my friend that i bout the 40 from said there is or was a problem with the 9 mm Not chambering up right if to long . Do you know if they are still like that or not. Or go with a sti 9mm dvc Need help with pros and cons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalShooter69 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Some of the chambers and throats are really tight. It's been widely discussed on here. Patriot Defense will ream your barrel, and you never have an issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujo929 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If you like the Tanfo go with the 9mm. Can always get the barrel reamed to load long if you need to. Not an expensive mod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Bevin Grams can still do it in under a week and isn't in Texas, is he? He did mine. Had the barrel back Friday. Priority Mailed it to Grams Engineering that Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikieM Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If you go with the Tanfoglio, be well aware that you may get little, or no help from the distributor, or manufacturer, should anything go wrong with the gun. STI, on the other hand, has an excellent warranty service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa-XD45 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Why not call EAA for a large frame caliber conversion? Did they stop selling them? I have one so I can shoot major & minor in my limited gun. Also, isn't that STI around $2,800 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
