Kamkaze Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I was able to get some details on the new “limpro” that IFG-NA will be importing for 2018. Earlier I had made a post about it saying it was going to be the current LimPro imported under a different name, well today I found out that isn’t completely 100% true. The two main differences are that it will be black framed, not hard chromed and the biggest difference which will make some happy and others not so much lol. It will be a small frame not the typical large frame. I know a lot of people have been asking for a small frame pistol so that’s s good thing. Discuss. I’ll answer what I can.

Can you please point us to this model on the Tanfoglio catalog? I cannot seem to find such as model. Or maybe it's something that Tanfo is to introduce in 2018 and has not been added to the catalog yet? http://www.tanfoglio.it/eng/catalogue.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamkaze Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 @PatriotDefense can you help with this you are way more versed with Tanfo than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewsifer Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 That's exciting news! So when you say "black framed", do you mean the frame will be black only and the slide will still be chromed? Either way, I think the black change up would be nice.Also, I think it's a good idea to make it the small frame, should make it easier to fit inside the IDPA box. That's probably why they did that. The original LimPro seemed to be the "go-to gun" for us Tanfo peeps when it came IDPA. But suddenly they stopped being available :-(But as I understand it, the differences between the Large and Small frame are very minut. But I'm glad they're going to produce it as a "small frame." Was kind of sad when Stock 2s small frame stopped being available to us a few years back. Hats off to IGA.

SCTaylor Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Any idea when they will be stateside? I always wanted a LimPro and might have to jump on one of these. ETA - I assume they will also use the CZ / MecGar magazines too? Edited January 9, 2018 by SCTaylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Yes I think it’s a good thing too but only the market will tell lol. If they sell well that will be a good sign. The whole gun will be black, and I might be able to leak some teaser pictures soon, I’m working on that. Main difference is grip size and magazines. These small framed versions should take cz mags although I haven’t confirmed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCTaylor Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 @Kamkaze cool, thanks! @PatriotDefense I assume you'll post once they are available, can you let me (us) know when you get one in shop? It would be awesome to see one first hand before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiedras Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Small frames take cz 16 and 17 round mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Small frame? Eww. I hate the way CZs feel. I bought a Tanfo instead of a Shadow because of precisely that. I know a lot of you feel differently, but that’s a bad move to some of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if this is wrong, but i thought the tanfo small and large frame have nearly identical external grip dimensions. only the interior dimensions were changed (and slide ) for the longer rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamkaze Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 I can throw calipers on it and get a width, I can tell you it felt smaller in my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ASSUMED since they started as CZ copies and the gun took CZ mags... that the frame would be CZ sized. If not, awesome. Great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endall Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I accidentally purchased a Tanfo small frame mag in 9mm. I think from Numrich. Will try in a CZ to verify it feeds. Like many in the US, even the 22LR is large frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savageman25 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I see money just floating away as I read this thread. The only question is if the Stock 2L is brought over as well will decide how much drifts away from my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yigal Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 A friend, who recently visited their factory brought me the new catalogAnd this model appears there in chrome plating and sa trigger under name " limited." he was very impressed from their manufacturing methods and workers professional skills . i asked him about problems in tan. guns that i saw in this forum and he said that it was in the past and they solve them in all new models. we received few new guns all small frames from tan. and from what i saw after i checked them it's another league . (all black finish) שליחת הצעה לעריכה Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Personally I don't care that much black vs. chrome finish, but a small frame 4.9'' Stock 2 sounds very enticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
