Yagi Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It says "These new guns are for USPSA Production. They are Stock 3 length with a 4.75" bull barrel. Limited quantities so get them while you can!" https://patriotdefense.com/tanfoglio-defiant-stock-master-ifg/ Are they not Bull Barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) @Yagi the Stock 3 has a bull barrel. The Stock 2 has a cone-fit (bull) barrel. The Stock 2’s lockup system is superior to everything else when it comes to accuracy, including the vaunted Accu bushings in the CZ. Along with a preference for less weight out front, that’s why you see a dozen Stock 2’s for every Stock 3 at matches. (This all comes down to hair splitting. I ran a Stock 3, liked it’s balance, and all three guns described above are all hideously accurate. More than enough to perform well in USPSA.)

ahfox32 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Per Joe at PD the Defiant Limited Master has a target cone bull barrel like the stock 2 and limited custom guns. I ordered one today but will be end of January (probably) before I have the gun in hand. Now comes the wait. Tick-tick-tick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how long it will take to get enough made to qualify for the production gun list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff O Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Just bought the Stock Master from Joanna. $1,095 with barrel reaming and hammer spring kit. BTW, it is a bull barrel. Edited December 23, 2019 by Jeff O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatriotDefense Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 These new guns are indeed the Bull Barrel, or Cone Target Barrel as Tanfoglio calls it. I've always liked the way these guns feel and handle so i was a fan boy from the start. You can expect pretty much the same machine finish from what was previous imported by EAA. However i've seen slightly lighter and smoother DA numbers and the SA seems to be a little less take up as well. Over all, i think this could easily de-thrown the Stock II as the sought after Tanfo state side. The hard chrome was a pleasant surprise to the model they showed at SHOT SHOW last year with the standard bluing or wander finish like the Stock III. Plus they just look awesome, and those new grips of ours are AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More if I decide to go carry optics, lol.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to only get a very limited number in if any at all as or recent. Fear not, something is in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tore mine apart, polishing, waiting on few more parts. I'll know more once i get everything together and shoot. Who knows, i could of gotten lucky but the quality control on this one is better than the couple stock 2 pistols i have. Checkering is done well. Better sights. Slide to frame fitment is great. Barrel to slide fitment/lock up is very tight. Inside of frame has minimal tooling marks/imperfections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polymer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Rear is more robust it seems. Front is fiber optic, although it may still be too wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
