N7VY Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I’ve been shooting in limited division in USPSA and due to my age I feel I need to transfer over to carry optics. The production list on the USPSA website lists the pistols allowed but I only see the witness limited pro allowed. I’m sure there are others but the names used by EAA and the production list just don’t work. I have a sig x-carry but I really love the trigger in Tanfo’s. Please help. Thanks. Gordon uspsa’s production list: EZ-9 9mm (33 oz.) MC28 SA 9mm (4.25 in. bbl.) (28 oz.) Witness (decocker) (33 oz.) Witness (standard steel) (38.2 oz.) Witness Limited Pro 9x19 9x21 38 (42.3 oz.) Witness PS (30 oz.) Witness-P (27 oz.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnStewart Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The Tanfo Stock II Elite is a very popular production gun in USPSA. The (I think 8 time?) world champion runs with one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just EAA Witness (Tanfoglio) Stock 2. This is one of the most popular guns in Production division, and has been for roughly a decade.

I have Limited Custom and Stock 2 in Europe. I bought them 2nd hand (or 3rd maybe who knows) just because I think they're cool. This is a hobby and it's supposed to be fun. So I wanted cool guns. CZ's and 2011 don't do it for me. So Italian steel it is. The smart money is buying Shadow 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7VY Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thanks MM for your quick and I’m sure very accurate response. I started out in uspsa using a match elite then went to limited custom (great pistol) but my eyes aren’t letting me be as accurate as I would like. My thought was to go into CO as I have a sig x-carry. I hate the trigger of this and all striker fired pistols, so the reason for my looking to the forums. Can you tell me why they allow the stock 2 but don’t list it in the production list (or am I missing something). I’m just trying to maximize my information before I make another purchase. Thank you again for all of your help including the polishing videos you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLethal Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 They list it under the main company that imports it which is EAA.. The model is a witness but it’s a technicality and is completely fine. I ran into this last year at a level 2 during chrono while they were trying to find the factory weight. It was t on the slide as it is on the production list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware that you’ll need to do some work to keep a Stock II under the 45oz weight limit in Carry Optics. Something along these lines might be necessary, where Patriot Defense trims enough weight off the slide to allow you to run the grips of your choice without getting too heavy: Choosing a Limited Pro would be an easier route, as they’re a few ounces lighter and have the same ergonomics and trigger. They make weight easier after a dovetail mounted optic is factored in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugbyrat Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Not sure this will help but I emailed EAA with the same question for my Match Pro. You could try the same. Here is my message and (not helpful) response from EAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAm Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Stock 1 2 and 3 are all on the list under Tanfoglio. Limited Pro is as well. But I dont see the Witness P Match on there...which is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAm Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Also that weight for the Stock 1 looks crazy heavy. That is a small gun to weigh that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stock 1 is a Stock 2, with longer slide and barrel, extra meat on the frame in the form of finger grooves, and a pictinny rail. Remember the order of introduction went: Stock (which many incorrectly call a “stock 1”) Stock 2 Stock 3 Stock 1 (the actual) Edited October 4, 2019 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7VY Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 NO, your the cool kid using a Tanfoglio. They are a sleeper that just needs a bit of polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
