LeviSS Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Man is it going to get confusing soon with more small frames. Now you can about guarantee your looking at a large frame in the US...with these it will get muddled up. To me, the larger frame is the only reason to go with Tanfo over CZ. The somewhat simpler design is just a bonus. Edited January 10, 2018 by LeviSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing at this point is for you and anyone else interested in the Stock 2L “Australian” to email Tanfoglio directly in Italy and tell them you want IFG to import it. info@tanfoglio.it Edited January 10, 2018 by Kamkaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenida Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) We have large and small frame. Small frame is the best seller in Canada and most people will take a small vs large all day long, in 9mm.

JusticeOfToren Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I Agree with you!! if i wanted a small frame I would be shooting the shadow 2 Ironically, smsall frame Shadow/Shadow 2 have much longer DA trigger reach than large frame Stock 2... I ditched Shadow for the Stock 2 because I have short fingers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yigal Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 we use only small frames for tan. the magazines compatible with cz 75 type guns and their clones. the relief cut in slide engage only 2.5 locking lugs instead of full 3. and it's ........ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But. Are you saying the short frame guns have more locking lugs between slide and barrel? That could matter to some. Maybe the gun would need 123,000 rounds to wear out, instead of 98,00...

It is a small frame. Never seen a small frame version. Guess I may see them soon. The mag change and trigger guard should make them easy to spot. Do any of the small frame guns have a square trigger guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ck867 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There seems to be a lot of confusion on small vs large frame. This terminology is used to determine what magazines it uses. It has nothing to do with their actual frame size. A "small" frame Tanfo means it uses CZ mags and the reloads are more forgiving because of it.
