Fierce_Morgan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'm interested in purchasing a new LimPro, but am not sure about the differences between the large and small frame. What is everyone's opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I’m curious to know as well. I only own one and it’s a large frame but I would like to buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagi Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Its fairly simple... If you have never owned one and you have small to medium size hands then choose Small Frame. If you own Tanfo. It is better to stick with Large Frame so all mags can be shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks. I have large hands and a bunch of mags for large frame so that settles it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2plus25 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 More after-market products available for large frame here in the US than small frame. Large frames take mecgar mags. Small frames take CZ mags. Good to keep in mind when considering multiple Tanfos of the same caliber if you intend to share mags between them. Some internal parts are interchangeable and some are not between LF and SF. SF guns were made for .40/9mm/and below and LF were made for 9mm/40/45/10mm. I’m sure others will chime in with more details, but that’s a basic overview. I have 3 large frames in .40 and share mags between them. So any new Tanfo will be a LF one for me.

philippshen Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 it depends, but you will more likely to find replacement or custom parts for the large frame currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkadi Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 For Stock II that’s not exactly true, and I have both. 1-4mm front to back difference depending on where and how I measure. There is definitively a different curve in area between checkering and beaver tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone hands you one of the guns and your eyes are closed can you tell which gun it is? Feeling the mag opening would be cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 @IHAVEGAS has it. Sure they’re slightly different. But I thought for a long time that a small frame would have a CZ SP-01 Shadow sized frame, and large would be much bigger. Much like a 9mm Glock versus a 10mm or 45ACP. Large vs Small tanfo isn’t like that at all. Small differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkadi Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes, I'll be able to tell the difference even if grip panels are the same or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
