aales1 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi all! I know that somewhere between 2015 and 2016 Tanfoglio made minor changes to frames. I have stock 3 with new frame and know that wood grips are different, also beavertail is sligtly different. I am intrested in buying new Tanfoglio Limited 45 with old frame for a very nice price due to being old frame. Are there any major differences between frames?

ATLDave Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I spent an hour this weekend whittling on the locking block for my DAA racer holster as I go from an old frame to a new frame. The new frame triggerguard is just a touch larger and was causing my well-seasoned holster to bind up when trying to put the gun in the holster. Nothing that you are likely to notice in-hand, just another of those little dimensional variations the Italians seem to sprinkle on their products as though it were parmesan.

aales1 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hi guys, So gun is at home. I must say that I expected that there would be more of a size difference between small and large frame. In my ipsc kydex holster which I use with Stock 3 small frame, limited is having a lot of play. Owerall gun feels great. Trigger is crisp but on a heavy side. Do the same main spring work for a 45 as it does for a 9mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stock 3 frame has a rail and the Limited frame does not which should explain the amount of play in the holster. I have used the same hammer spring for many different calibers (conversion kit slides). Edited April 4, 2019 by himurax13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippshen Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I had experience in both the old and new frame, and I would say older one has much sharper grip checkering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
