Avenida Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Sorry but I need to ask. What is the round count in your Chrome Tanfoglios. I have been told recently that the chromed tanfos tend to crack, is this an old wives tale from a decade ago? I do know that the 40 cal standard pistol in chrome where cracking due to be being lighten but tanfoglio got rid of this design for that reason and now the slides no longer have a cut out in the recoil spring cover. What kind of life expectancy can I expect out of my Chrome Stock II 9mm pistols? Wondering what have you guys think.

goshimu Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nothing to worry about. Ancient history regarding major guns. Issues resolved. Stock 2 9mm will last a seriously long time. They are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewsifer Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Issue resolved years ago. No longer a problem. New Tanfo large frames are made to withstand continuous 10mm firing. The Stock 2s are all built on the same frame for all common pistol calibers from 9mm, 38 super, 40s&w, 45acp, 10mm. To my knowledge I haven't heard of any cracking in recent years.

Small frames, as I understand it are designed to only shoot 9mm, 40s&w, and 45acp... I think. I read it somewhere. But not 38 super or 10mm.

Endall Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 No large frame magazines will fit a small frame gun. Whether 22LR to 10mm. The longer cartridges will not fit a small frame gun or magazine. Ejection port is shorter. Some of the guns come sprung very light. My 10mm Limited Pro felt like it was hitting very hard with full power loads. Installed a 20lb recoil spring and it feels perfect. I think it would have displayed signs of frame battering over time with the Stock recoil spring. It must be made with minor loads in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenida Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Who owns a chrome tanfo with over 50.000 rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hmmm... that like over $6,000 in ammo alone. That would buy 3-4 new pistols and might be the case instead of hitting 50k rounds with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiedras Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 What is the deal with the small frame ones? the slide seems to be different only. Primary differences are trigger bar, firing pin, and barrel. Haven't tried to throw a large frame slide on to see if that works.Don't know exactly the round counts on my small frames, but I'm probably between 30-40k on each atm.

johnbu Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 My match 40sw has 12,000 major. My two s2 have 30k ish. No issue. Ben Stoeger, shoots a bit... never heard anything about him having an issue. I assume he would say something and word would get around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenida Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 I probably will not keep mine that long, I tend to rotate them every 20k. however I might keep these longer, because I like them a lot. Good to hear they can get to 50k+ with no issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yigal Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 friend of mine have one old small f. from early 90s .slide cracked after 40k the other one have gold team from 1993 and he use it for ipsc practice and competitions.from 1993-2014 .changed ~7-8 barrels . gun still in working condition. local dealer rent on his shooting range old lim pros from1995 few of them passed 150k. compare to glocks it's nothing. we have army abused glocks with 200-300k before slide breaks.

Avenida Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 that is a pretty good record, 150.000 for pistol is more than enough in my book, actually, I would consider 100.000 a good service life, anything extra is gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the older small frames are a little bit smaller in dimension on a couple of parts, particularly the trigger guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLDave Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Old, old, old news. Unfortunately, threads like this keep the "issue" well up in the google results, so the fear never dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenida Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 true, however, with the proper understanding and current feedback it is better than reading old posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
