New Tanfo Prices?

Glad I have 3 right now. At that price I'd rock the Shadow 2 and just swap a spring or two and call it good.  If I knew the prices were about to jump I probably would have snagged up a limited gun.

Huh?  In what way.  Legions have been out a while and are really overpriced for the "features" you get.

He’s talking about the 320 Legion. Its $900, shoots as soft as the metal guns, and has a great trigger. It’s probably gonna take a big piece of the CZ and Tanfo markets.

Easier to jump into CO with the Sig, too.

I have been seeing posts on FB regarding the recent enforcement of MAP, but haven’t really paid attention and already have what I need for tanfos at the moment so I guess I’m glad I got in when I did. My Limited gun is sitting in the case looking for a new home anyways as I’ve switched back to the 2011 platforms with a custom being built over the winter.

EAA is trying to give their whole range a more "premium" feel. By enforcing prices at a higher range its going to raise their perceived value, and by association make them feel more like a premium brand. Even if we know that a Stock 2 should be 950, they are wanting to compete at that 1200 dollar price point that the shadow 2 is at.

 

I worked as a buyer in retail for a long time, and some of the companies I worked with did this sort of enforced pricing thing to keep their new value consistent, and there used prices higher as well to keep the brand association in a higher range...

 

The issue is we all know what the hell they are doing! Its too late at this point for them to change all that, and everyone not be pissed off about it. EAA is an annoying company...I really wish they would loose there lead import status as the tanfo distributor.

So this is just an EAA thing, and not an increase in cost from manufacturer?  I love Tanfo's, but I think this will only hurt sales.  There is no arguing that the fit and finish of the Shadow 2 is noticeably better then the stock 2 for example, and in my opinion justifies the higher price tag.

Seems odd that the prices for the IFG Stock 1 and Lim Pro have stayed the same while only the EAA range has jumped up. 

 

Leads me to believe it’s an EAA thing. If anyone that stocks both companies wants to chime in that would be great to get a confirmation. 

 

I just worked in retail long enough to have seen this a few times in the past...but never have I seen a company switch to this method of pricing after being established.

Somebody is looking pretty smart right now for getting the Lim Pro's imported.

Guys you should see prices for Tanfoglio in Europe.

Stock 3 - 1160€

Stock 2 - 1750€

Limited Custom - 1990€

All those are standard/non xtreme. If you want an extreme you will need to add more than 500€ on top of that price.

 

On the other hand, CZ Shadow 2 is a bit more than 1200€ which puts it in the range of Stock 3.

 Yagi,

Since you cannot receive PM's?  Do you have any info on when/where, etc for the 2020 Western States Single Stack?

Thanks,

I agree...and honestly I feel like my Lim Pro transitions very similar to my Stock 2. The shorter dust cover, and non bull barrel make the balance of the gun feel very similar to my stock 2.

 

I think the Lim Pro will be the go to gun for people looking for steel DA/SA production guns that dont wanna pay a ton for them.
