ahfox32 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I have heard/read that a stock Tanfo take-down pin (slide removal pin) can crack/break. Is there an aftermarket pin that can be recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLDave Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) You mean the slide stop pin? Those break a lot on CZ's, but pretty rarely on Tanfoglios. I believe I discussed this with Ben Stoeger in one of his classes last fall and he said he had never broken one. I have used Tanfo's both for competition (major power factor in LTD) and as a launching pad for 10mm's for woods use and ballistics fun. I have also never broken one. I keep a spare around, but haven't had cause to use it. There's some stuff on Tanfo's that breaks... the slide stop pins usually aren't on the list.

KTM530XCW Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Tanfo and cz slide stop pins should be considered consumables. Replace every 5k rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glk21C Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The design/how the barrel locks up of cz /tangs is such that the slide stop pin is designed to break. Using a hardened pin not a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I have five Tanfo's of various models and have never broken a slide stop, some have lots of mileage. Of course now that I've said that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
