V2plus25 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Any idea if IFG will also be able to stock major parts like barrels and slides? PD and BSPS seem to have the small parts pretty much covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a black sight like a standard model Frame drilled for optic rail like limited custom Slide and barrel of a limited custom Rail like stock 3 Anyway it’s all guessing what the deal is. if it’s a production model I’ll be interested.

A 9mm limited custom with the extra weight of a rail and other doodads might make sense. For 3-gun. There are other sports out there.

johnbu Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Actually, those that change divisions frequently might be able to swap da/sa production, change trigger to SA only for limited w a thumb rest and even add an optic on the frame for open.

Rudukai13 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hold on, a Tanfoglio with an optic rail and drilled for an optic mount? If it's compatible with the Gold Team compensated slide assembly, I'm about to have to spend a lot of money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msnthrp451 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'd love to be at the SHOT Show and get a first peek and hands on the new models- Hopefully there will be some internet news releases to give us the 411... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) And now we know. Lightened slide, that mass moved to the frame via the addition of a rail, etc. Sell your Stock 2s, or come in last. Your choice.

HesedTech Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So the circle is coming around, lightened slides must mean less recoil and heavier guns may not be all they are cracked up to be? I haven’t mastered my current tools, TF S2, yet so I’m betting I’d see zero difference in my scores with these new ones. But, if it were starting out, just maybe this would be the way to go. I wonder how the stock trigger is and will it take the normal TF polishing and upgraded parts to make this a smooth operator? I still really love the hard chrome finish on the S2.

Lightened slides shoot flatter. But have more recoil. Or more precisely, they have a snappier recoil impulse. I can verify this based upon my Swiss Cheese PPQ I run in Crappy Optics, with 3oz missing from the slide. A bill drill happens with the dot spending a lot more time in the window than my buddies’ X5, but it feels like it has twice the recoil, and even with a tungsten-filled backstrap the gun is only 26 ounces. Lots of guys get that slide weight thing mixed up. They want a soft shooting gun. Soft doesn’t matter: how flat it shoots is what matters. How easily the sights can be tracked at speed. Quote I haven’t mastered my current tools, TF S2, yet so I’m betting I’d see zero difference in my scores with these new ones. Difference versus a Stock 2? Almost exactly nothing. But they had to do something to steal some of the market back from the vast majority of guys who are choosing the Shadow 2 when ditching their plastic guns. Catering to things which are percieved as being better, and thus they have to be. Quote But, if it were starting out, just maybe this would be the way to go. I wonder how the stock trigger is and will it take the normal TF polishing and upgraded parts to make this a smooth operator? I am quite certain that it will take every bit as much work, based upon Tanfo’s extensive track record.

HesedTech Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It does look cool though and cool factor is a part of the game. That’s why I have the cool Henning grips rather than just gluing some texture on the wood ones that come with the TF. My excuse is, it would have been a shame to deface the beauty of those fine Italian wood grips. Seriously, coming from a sports background where we would lighten all the rotational parts for one main reason, acceleration. It takes less energy to accelerate a light part over a heavier one and that’s probably why the recoil is higher and the gun stays flatter. Same with the physics of a lighter recoil spring, one the slide begins to move with less energy and when it returns there is less energy moving the mass of the slide. To make it run flatter reduce both the weight (mass) and the energy required to move it (spring). And you all thought that physics class was worthless in school. What a great past time.

Tirppa Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'll take one in stainless and something lower than 12lbs double action that stacks up. I don't like rails though. Stock 2 is still sexier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks are highly subjective. I think slides with windows, ports, etc look goofy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goshimu Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 good choice to get the same barrel length as an AUS stock 2 plus the benefits of a rail and the limited custom slide and frame mounting points. Very cool. Might be a US only model which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) @Fasthenk65 honestly the appeal of a Tanfo over a CZ is the badge of mechnical competence that comes with running a flawless one at a match with a great trigger. You do that, and everyone knows you’re more mechanically inclined than a Shadow 2 owner. And M&P shooters? We’re surprised when their shoes stay tied for the duration of the match. They can barely work the knots, after all. Edited January 23, 2019 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
