drivenagain Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) I just purchased this without looking closely at the slide. I thought I was getting a Tanfoglio Limited, but the slide says Limited Custom?? It is not in my possession yet. Beavertail looks smaller or am I crazy??? Need some help here....

goshimu Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 They are one and the same. Limited custom usually has vented slide (top side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01Deuce Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Looks just like mine (minus some changes I made) Mine also says limited custom on the slide. Edited October 24, 2017 by 01Deuce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivenagain Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 just want to figure out what i have, either way Greg im gonna shoot the hell out of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Deuce Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I think the confusion here is that the last couuple of years the limited started saying "Limited custom " 2017 catalog shows the limited custom as a new model and not hard chromed. Those new model limited custom' s have not made it here yet. See the thread a few down about them finally showing up in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbu Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The OP's gun is a LARGE frame. Look at the grip screw location. Small frame has it more towards the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivenagain Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Greg send that bad boy to me faaaaast Jason, That is our Limited model. It is a large frame. The marking can be confusing. The New Limited Custom has a blue finish on it. This is yours: http://eaacorp.com/guns/handguns/witness-elite-limited-tanfoglio-81 Sometimes they come in with markings that say Limited and sometimes they say Limited Custom. Thank you, Dawn EAA/USSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the exact model I purchased last month. Thought I was getting this one: https://eaacorp.com/guns/handguns/witness-elite-limited-tanfoglio-81 But mine has "Limited Custom" on the slide. My understanding is that it is the same as the Elite "Limited". Great gun BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
